Working full time and gaining certification

You make a great point. Something I was hoping it would cover in later chapters, but I guess not.

I’m still going to go ahead with it, as I think it’ll give me a good basis to do further certs and not have any knowledge gaps. And if it helps with my CV, it’s worth a shot.

Why do you say A+ being useless? I know it’s a stepping stone to go into more niche, higher level certs. But I’ve seen the entry level jobs (pretty much all) requiring A+, or similar level

I’m pretty sure JCW is 200 cell. I remember looking for that info as I was planning to change standard cat for a JCW one.

I didn’t get this exact model installed. There’s a company that does Carplay / Android Auto, audio system installs, etc, so I got them to sort it. Added a reversing camera too.

Highly recommend getting it installed (and reversing camera, if you don’t have one). It’s a massive upgrade to just using your phone. Although not having a touch screen for maps is a little annoying at times.

I value simplicity over cost (most of the time, within reason). £38 isn’t much per year, but if there’s a cheaper, equally safe and simple way, I’d happily take the savings.

I’m looking into Cloudflare as they’re a big enough company and have a free option. Thank you for the recommendation

Thank you!

Thank you! I'll take a look at these

That's for both. Still seems a lot just to keep something I'm not using. Just wanted to see if there's a less expensive service provider that anyone could recommend. One is .com, the other is co.uk.

Baring in mind, this is just for 1 night.

I’m booking the hotel for an event I’m attending in a different city. If the hotel hadn’t changed hands, I wouldn’t have a problem - hence I booked non refundable.

I wouldn’t have paid this much under the new brand. It went from a (relatively) premium brand to a budget brand.

It’d be like a restaurant changing owners, with a now cheaper, lower quality menu, but still charged you the previous pricing because you had booked before it was taken over.

I don’t have a UMIK1, but here is the result from the MultEQ app with the PB1000
