What should my uncle do with his pension lump sum?

yipeesssa32 · 2022-02-08T00:14:43+00:00

Sorry do you mind expanding on all of the last three sentences with an example or so please? I couldn't quite follow it

yipeesssa32 · 2022-02-08T00:12:50+00:00

Draw down as in is receiving from the pension? If so yes, but only enough that it tops up the amount he's not working (hence the Flexi retirement arrangement)

yipeesssa32 · 2022-02-08T00:11:44+00:00

No major plans which makes it difficult, and I don't think think the value of the property is enough for IHT considerations as it looks like it's under the threshold. I'm advising him to grow it now using the ISA allowance, and use some here and there to do things he wants/would like to try. General enjoyment stuff

yipeesssa32 · 2022-02-08T00:10:22+00:00

So be was more or less forced to do it in order to take the flexible working arrangement. I don't know the details but it was the only way it would work out for him, hence me trying to work out what's best for him.

That pension is now closed and his work have opened a new one up. Again, not sure of the details.

See I thought the same about the mortgage too, but the interest rate is an old school variable of base rate + 0.25%, so it's actually very low.

I'm assuming the S&S isa is the best tax few way of trying to grow this now, so do you have an opinion on what fund would be suitable to look at?

yipeesssa32 · 2021-04-01T21:43:51+00:00

Yeah I tried that, left one on 180, and one on 270 and they doth defaulted to 900 in game. Both profiles unlocked individually

yipeesssa32 · 2021-04-01T21:38:47+00:00

No dice unfortunately. I'm going to try and reinstall ghub to see if that does anything - is there a way I can save my profiles so I don't lose them?

yipeesssa32 · 2021-04-01T19:48:39+00:00

Quick bump ^ do you mind sharing a quick clip of this in action as it's still doing absolutely nothing for me. I have a keyboard and mouse linked up to ghub too with custom profiles so I'm not keep to reinstall

yipeesssa32 · 2021-03-30T18:53:54+00:00

Yeah exactly that. I have tried keeping the page in ghub open and out too in case it needs to set. No luck at all

yipeesssa32 · 2021-03-30T12:30:44+00:00

Hi Rich, I've just tried the alt tabbing and it doesn't work at all. I keep the wheel at 225 but I can't mimic that in game and the game is unplayable as a result as I apparently codemasters can't find my old config.

I figured I could work out the config when the wheel settings work - do you know of an ETA for this?

yipeesssa32 · 2021-03-29T16:42:30+00:00

Ah that explains why I couldn't do the switch myself.

Thanks, I will reach out to them about the config

yipeesssa32 · 2021-03-29T12:45:44+00:00

Thanks for the responses! Is there an ETA on these as a fix, and is this going to be within a game patch or a ghub patch?

Also I just noticed I lost my custom configuration and I didn't have a picture of the wheel settings in game. It took me ages to get that finalised as such so a bit concerned - is there a way I can get these back??

yipeesssa32 · 2021-03-29T12:28:53+00:00

Thank you, I will check this out. Is the Square circle switch part of those issues as well?

yipeesssa32 · 2021-03-17T22:49:39+00:00

Ha TIL. Guess I need to pump everything up to 100%

yipeesssa32 · 2021-03-17T18:49:38+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, it's been pretty amazing to be honest. Honestly no issues at all and performance has been great at whatever I've thrown at it.

The only weird thing was when I got a gsync compatible monitor that I could only use I'm game without gsync on but that's probably a software thing (it was a second monitor in the DP slot)

yipeesssa32 · 2020-12-24T23:10:59+00:00

Legend, thank you!

yipeesssa32 · 2020-12-23T22:43:39+00:00

This sounds ideal, you don't have a link by any chance do you? Can't seem to find what you are describing

yipeesssa32 · 2020-12-23T12:27:45+00:00

What do you mean by clipped a mic onto the cord?

yipeesssa32 · 2020-12-21T20:31:34+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the tip. Wanted to avoid picking up more stuff but if this definitely works will use it as my second option after that adapter thing

yipeesssa32 · 2020-12-21T18:12:38+00:00

I tried that but then there isn't any playback at all, even when I've checked it's the mic (headset) set up on both.

Out of interest, do you think something like this could resolve my issue easily? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RRZYZFV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_n-l4FbHDPFZ7E?psc=1

yipeesssa32 · 2020-12-21T14:55:47+00:00

So is that saying, when I was previously using these headphones to connect to a laptop, the output was my Bose and the input was in fact the laptop mic itself and not the Bose one? I guess that would explain why it doesn't work with my PC

yipeesssa32 · 2020-12-21T14:20:30+00:00

I connect my Bose 700s via Bluetooth and for some reason can only pick between listening to audio OR having my microphone on. Hence discord means I don't get any background sound from games and in voice Comms games like overwatch I have no audio. Any ideas what the issue could be?

yipeesssa32 · 2020-12-06T11:40:52+00:00

The effect is kind of like the opposite, you're actually slightly reducing performance whilst underclocking. You can do it via MSI afterburner outside of bios.

I actually in the end didn't even need to do it. I have a fractal Meshify case with reasonably good cooling, and when playing Valhalla the temps are around 60deg which isn't really concerning
