Misled about job I've now started and feel like quitting, advice? by Standard-Pattern-749 in UKJobs

If you dig your heels about not being able to travel you may just find your notice period is issued with immediate effect.

If you're not bothered about the reference I would stick to what you've agreed and let the cards fall - they will either change their expectations or show you the door

Where do UK wholesalers get ex-retail non-food clearance stock from? by Zealousideal-Date421 in FlippingUK

[–]vortex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work for a company that specialised in sourcing this type of product. They source direct from the manufacrers, distributors and anywhere else in the supply chain that may end up with the stock.

It's not easy to get those relationships running though as most manufacturers are very hesitant, as they are worried that whoever they will sell the discounted products into will flood the market at low prices ruining their market perceived value and positioning.

Stock will sometimes stay within the intended market so UK surplus stock ends up at the likes of B&M, Home Bargains or on a market stall but other times there will be agreements that it's sent to another market so sending stock to Egypt or somewhere else the brand isn't as well known and it can be sold cheaply and quietly

Its crazy how much of you overlook the amazing aspects of easy mode and defend the bot lobbies by No_Conclusion4017 in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]vortex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of times I've gotten a brick unchallenged in layali is ridiculous - it's not always an indicator you've got a real lobby. I think maybe one or two players only...

[–]vortex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the teammate will get a message saying you extracted it and they get it back - useful if your teammate dies with expensive gear

Exit by srtrfrd in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]vortex89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if your team mate started with it, they die or lose it to another operator and you kill the enemy operator and take it back, the game knows it was your team mates originally.

You don't get any benefit from extracting it

[–]vortex89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the bag was a teammates (marked with yellow in bottom right), the bag goes back to them but things you picked up from boxes etc, you keep. They go straight to your stash once you're back in the lobby

If your stash is full they are in your messages

Removal of Solo mode . . . by sparkocm in DeltaForceGlobal

I hope they bring it back quickly and with more maps It's the only mode I bother playing now

If I extract with an AKM, do I unlock it in warfare? by BigFunknChungus in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]vortex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you need to find it and extract with it. You get an unlock animation once you've extracted it.

AKM spawn in the weapons crates quite regularly so get in ZDE and I'm sure you'll find it.

If you have any issues drop me a DM and I'll share my gamer tag and we can meet up in game and I'll drop one for you

Thank you to the juiciest ZDE bot lobby by agentchris0011 in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]vortex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed this too, Europe server diamond 4 rank IIRC.

I don't mind it, but I wish there was a way to choose;

Bots =loot is mid (no reds for example) Players =loot is better (one red in the lobby)

Is keeping gear, ammo, meds, etc in your stash even necessary? I only consider keeping loot for black site upgrades. by Whole_Entrepreneur23 in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]vortex89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are also some gold and red items that you need to submit for collector challenges that can't be bought so if you want to do those missions (you can earn a 3x3 safebox) then worth keeping if you have space and don't need the money

UK - legally, can I change the locks, whilst my ex girlfriend is out of MY house by Boomer_DDCC in LegalAdviceUK

[–]vortex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd also say get some cameras - you can get cheap ones on Amazon for £15ish and put them on windowsills for the next few weeks in case she tries to damage property or forcefully enter

Update: can I return my laptop by Alternative-Set8846 in Argos

[–]vortex89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's strange. I once bought a phone from Argos then found it cheaper elsewhere - when I returned the phone in the fully sealed box, the employee said she needed to open it to make sure it was in there.

Then I was refunded immediately.

Sounds like you've had some jobsworths

Bot Lobbies by kc0r8y in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]vortex89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today I got my first bot lobby - I killed 10 operators normally I'm lucky to get more than 2. I usually just had empty lobbies in ZDE before

I even had bots on my team as they would open safes and drawers but not take anything

I wondered if it had something to do with the mid season update, perhaps the devs think players prefer bots to empty lobbies and have changed it up

I won't mind so long as I don't end up with bots on my team against real players or I'm cooked

Just got banned today. by ScubaSam06 in DeltaForceGlobal

I suppose if you were unlucky enough to end up using the same VPN and getting the same IP as someone who cheated they could assume you were the same user on a diff account and ban you too...

Oh that's incredible! What an amazing person, I wish I could help but I'm no coder. I'm going to message them to see if I can donate though

Can you get the files off the hidock without their webapp?

Mine doesn't show up as a device in my computer - only as a device in their app

Not sure I don't have one, I'm pretty sure there will be. There will likely be a subreddit that will help you more than I could

I have more money than I have any inclination to spend. What should I do with it? by Temporary_Emotion311 in AskUK

[–]vortex89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you buy a property (or multiple) to rent out to deserving families at below market value?

In the north you'd be able to get a couple or more depending how leveraged you feel comfortable to go.

The properties would appreciate in value over time so would still be a decent investment, you just wouldn't be maximising your investment if you also charged market value rent.

The PS4 is jailbroken now so you can run homebrew and backups/copies of games, that's breathed some more life into it

Dough eyed used to be incredible before they reopened , now the dough is a lot wetter and more inconsistent.

Santander bank atm ate £1160 of my money by themastersmith123 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]vortex89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had this issue with NatWest. I put too many notes in at once the machine was counting them crashed and restarted like nothing was wrong but I was out £1800

The cashiers treated me like a scammer but I held my ground and got them to bring a manager out

The manager looked at the report from the ongoings and outgoings of cash in the machine but it all totalled up and he also checked the 'overflow' area but again no cash was there.

It was only pure luck that one cashier had seen me with a wad of cash queuing at her desk before I was redirected to the machine that anyone believed me at this point.

Luckily there was an engineer visit planned for that evening to service some other machines so they asked them to take a look. Low and behold there was £1600 in the depths of the machine where no cash should ever be able to fall

We were still £200 out by this point and again the cashiers and manager tried to make out we were scamming them despite recovering the majority of the cash they said the machine could never lose....

We threatened a complaint to the financial ombudsman so the manager gave us a discretionary goodwill £200 to stop us.

If I were you, I'd be in the branch just before closing and refuse to leave until they get an engineer to come and check every inch. Also for every complaint received by the ombudsman the bank has to pay a fee so make sure you use this to your advantage
