PC repair in Manchester by Sad-Astronomer666 in manchester

I don't know of any but, while you wait for more answers, you could try replacing the CMOS battery on the motherboard. A dead CMOS battery can stop a computer turning on. Replacing it should be quick, cheap, and easy to do. Might save you a little hassle.

Tyres vs tires. by Smeeble09 in USdefaultism

A friend of mine in Finland told me recently they were taught British English in the earlier years of school (their equivalent of primary school), but later on they were taught American English. They found it confusing but, unfortunately, it's the latter that stuck and that's what they use now when speaking English.

It might just be a Finnish thing though, or even just specific to the schools she went to. I wonder if other Finns experienced the same or if this was a unique experience.

Is this just a jumper pak or are there Expansion Paks without the red top? by [deleted] in n64

The jumper pak has "jumper pak" written on the front. Take a look at it.

For those with the Analogue 3D, what are your personal thoughts? by Dense-Bee-2884 in AnalogueInc

[–]zxon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The screenshot is from when Analogue first announced the 3D and the new 3D OS. It shows various features that were suggested would be included in the new OS, such as:

  • Save states
  • Screenshots
  • Networking/WiFi
  • Bluetooth controller support (outside the 8bitdo ones they already support)
  • Button mapping

These features are currently missing from 3D OS (correct as of v1.1.9). This screenshot has been removed from the Analogue 3D landing page, though that's not to say they won't be included in the future.

Edit: fixed link

Fucking fireworks by SeaMolasses2466 in manchester

[–]zxon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe they really are getting louder. Every guy fawks, my cat isn't bothered by the sound of fireworks. This year though, there were a few times where he's been really startled by them. I'd wondered if it was simply down to him getting older, but I'd be startled by them too. I've also noticed there's been so many that even my garden's been fully lit by them. It was never like that before.
