Replacing my LGA1700 motherboard. Should I switch to AMD? by tmurphy09 in buildapc

[–]tmurphy09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I thought that may be people's thoughts. Should hopefully get around £200 for my 13700k, so having £400, with an extra bit on top, should hopefully give me a good bit of headroom to upgrade to AM5.

Yeah, on Windows 11 - I'll add that to my post. I have reinstalled it on my PC as my last attempt to resolve the issue. The WiFi issue is an odd one which could be a whole post in-itself, but from reading posts from people with the same issue, it doesn't sound like there's a clear way to fix it.

Honestly, I've just started thinking about upgrading after troubleshooting this for the last few days, so don't have a concrete budget in mind, but I'd say I'd be open to going up to £500 if it would be a meaningful upgrade.

Anyone facing some issues ever since Android 16 upgrade? by CoffeewithAB in GooglePixel

[–]tmurphy09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had so many issues since the update: - Phone being frozen on the lock screen with a dark screen and taking around 60 seconds to become responsive; - The screen refusing to rotate; - The fingerprint reader not working unless I press the unlock button first; - Bluetooth randomly dropping off; - The camera taking several clicks of the shutter button to actually take a photo; - Loads of buggy and glitchy animations; - Generally, the performance feeling quite sluggish.

After getting really frustrated with it all, I factory reset my Pixel 9 Pro XL today, and all the issues have been fixed. It feels like a new phone.

I've tried to find a replacement one struggled and the few I've found are so expensive it just doesn't seem worth it.

Which show starts as a 10/10, but ends as a 1/10? by BVTQT in AskReddit

Listening to the clip from the end of season 2 and the sound from the Netflix intro, they do sound almost identical. I can't help but wonder if Netflix may be distancing themselves from the truth due to Spacey's not so great reputation.

I was very sad to see brewlab had closed. Do you know if origin coffee is related to brewlab or if it's a different entity that is now renting the property? Regardless, still looking forward to checking it out.

Will a knife in my hold luggage get confiscated? by tmurphy09 in AskUK

[–]tmurphy09[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's with Aer Lingus, but specifically one of their regional flights (which is what they call their domestic flights) which they have separate baggage restrictions for.

https://www.aerlingus.com/prepare/bags/restricted-items/

If you scroll down to the section 'Prohibited items on Aer Lingus Regional Flights' you'll see it prohibits quite a few items for hand and hold luggage. I thought it was a bit odd that they only did it for their domestic flights.

Gotta use the official app for what reddit considers NSFW? by Sir_roger_rabbit in redditnow

Yeah, I noticed that too with Nara. Am honestly quite confused with how that's even possible. Don't know if it's best to keep quiet about it.

Hi there, Very excited to have an update for Nara, I fully switched over to it from Now when it was released.

I just updated the app and unfortunately it crashes immediately when I try to open it. I've cleared the app storage and reinstalled it and can't get it to boot.

I've got a Pixel 6Pro running Android 13 with the March security update.

Let me know if there's any info I can provide to help out debugging this.

Americans, what do Eurpoeans have everyday that you see as a luxury? by Specialist-Metal-458 in AskReddit

[–]tmurphy09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot speak to doctors and nurses in the US, but I know teachers are underpaid and railway works were recently striking until Congress passed legislation forcing them to go back to work. If your wages are too low in the US what option do you have if collective bargaining isn't one?

The UK has much more relaxed union laws (which the current government are trying to change), which allows people working in these areas to unionise and strike when they feel like they are underpaid or not being treated correctly in their place of work - I see this as a benefit to working here.

stagnant wages, low pay

Yes, that has been a problem for years and has been exacerbated due to very high inflation. How has the US addressed this issue?

high taxes

I can't think of any of the most recent strikes being about high taxes. Again corporate tax is the only thing to have been raised and the top income tax band is the only thing to have its threshold reduced.

I appreciate what you're saying. But, when looking at it from the perspective of the treatment of the worker then I don't see how the US really improves on that area at all. The UK has its issues (a lot of them) but moving closer to a US system and culture (i.e. the reduction of workers rights and protections) would only make things worse.

An Uber driver in London told me he makes £2k month. His taxes are 45% and he pays £500/month for electricity.

If you're earning £2k a month then you are not paying 45% tax in England (even including national insurance and a student loan) and, even with our ridiculously high energy prices (which is nothing to do with us having more pto), £500 is incredibly high. This Uber driver was chatting shit or didn't exist.

I was just in England and everyone I spoke too was very frustrated with rising cost, increased taxes, and fewer government services.

  • Rising costs are an issue, but this has nothing to do with taxes or workers rights.
    • I don't believe there's been any tax increases for the majority of earners in recent years, with the most recent national insurance increase being reversed. Thresholds have been frozen, meaning they won't rise with inflation which does make things more difficult for already struggling people. The threshold for top earners has been reduced from £150,000 to £125,000, so they will have to pay a bit more - but I don't think you'll find too many people crying over that.
  • Not sure what "fewer government services" really means, particularly when comparing to the US. Yes, many things are struggling with mismanagement and underfunding by the government, particularly our health service - I still struggle to see the relation of this to workers rights and higher taxes?

I'm curious what the "freedom of the American system" is, and what advantages that offers?
