One pedal drive in EVs........ love it lol. ill not go off topic though.

I should add, that once you've driven a auto you'll be like...."why didn't i do this sooner!"..... If you're not a "petrol head" and dont need to manual connection to the car, i'd 100% say go auto with flappy paddles.

That's a very good point stay away from automated manuals (in my opinion)..... these just have a robotic clutch actuator, and are essentially just manual gearboxes with a robot pressing and selecting gear...... very clunky

We have a dedicated independent leased line from Virgin

I've owned both, and while I'm a bit of a "driver" who genuinely enjoys a good old manual (that connection to the car is unmatched!), I also really missed the ease of the auto in my old Honda Accord. Right now, my drive is the perfect example of this split: I have an older Audi A4 B5 with a 5-speed manual, and a Tesla Model Y which, of course, just has forward and reverse. If someone's never driven a traditional automatic, I think "flappy paddles" (a dual-clutch or similar automatic with manual control) are a fantastic compromise. You get the comfort of a full auto mode, but you can still use the paddles on the steering wheel for a more involved, sequential "manual" experience. My 13-year-old daughter is already developing her own preference, though. She's decided she wants an automatic, based purely on watching me drive the Audi versus the Tesla. She doesn't grasp the mechanics yet, but her intuition is already there! It's funny because I'm heavily into sim racing, so I have access to flappy paddles, H-pattern, and sequential shifters. When I've been teaching her the basic principles of driving, she described the manual as being like "patting your head and rubbing your stomach" compared to the simplicity of an auto. I would say the manuals are slow disappearing, esp with EV now slow becoming more popular... it's a tough one!

lol oh that enemy. Oh right thought this was sorted but that makes sense.

What ya mean! 😬

Internet is fine, Sophos cpu/mem load is fine, switching is switching...... just anything that seems to need a login is very very slow or down.... Finance access Bromcom Microsoft admin panel this seems to have come and go all this week...... as i start to look into the issue everything comes back. general inter traffic is absolutely fine. Thoughts?

if its any help when i had a mk6 tdi i had my gel bag broke and it blocked the matrix.... from memory the matrix is behind the center console.

When you say there's no line of sight..... could you bounce of a "satellite" LOS AP? so three in total? (Main Building)---(Satellite AP)---(Field AP) The main issue is power i guess.... also starlink: https://www.spectotechnology.com/product/starlink-mini-solar-power-kit/?srsltid=AfmBOoqi0shChLyHbFEVfuWXCazBzuqHeJQ65P4zyCb6aPiiS8QqLmEp

We also have PDQ so might give that a go. Anything i need to know with regards to PDQ? did you address it installing in app data?

Hey everyone, We've hit a pretty annoying roadblock here, and I'm hoping some of you cutting/plotting experts can help! Apparently, a bunch of departments decided to splurge on Cricut machines. The software absolutely refuses to play nice with our domain environment so we can't install it. The good news is the design part is covered: we're using Canva Pro and can export everything as a clean .SVG file. The huge problem is finding something that just acts as a simple app that can read that SVG and send the job straight to the cutter. We already have Inkscape and Techsoft 2D Design installed, but I'm really looking for something simpler and more reliable for just job sending. To make things even more "Sod's Law," the three Cricuts we own are all different models. So, ideally, I need a device-agnostic (or at least less device-specific) solution that can bypass the whole Cricut ecosystem entirely. What are you guys using to send jobs to your cutters natively without the manufacturer's bloatware? Any recommendations for an SVG-to-Cutter app would be a lifesaver! EDIT: i should add... i'm totally new to cutter/plotters so i might be approaching this totally wrong, so please kick me into the right direction if that's the case. Cheers

Awesome! we're (me and the brother) thinking of driving to Munich to visit autoworld: https://motorworld.de/en/muenchen/ I have 3 options. Option 1, audi a4 b5 soon to be BTCC replica 1.8t petrol......(fits in very well with autoworld). Option 2. Tesla Model Y, or option 3 easy jet! lol I haven't had time to look at the youtube vid yet.... so that might answer my questions..... what did it cost? mainly in fuel i guess. How many flats or breakdowns and how did you deal with them..... if any! 17hrs driving in one go! i assume plenty of redbull! Trip looks awesome from the pics, its defo on my list to drive into central Europe.

We have a Sophos XGS, but also have a layer 3 core. Fs.com aggregation core l3 /edge l2+ switches and Sophos APX. We also have a HPE switch stack that is just the cluster. it connects into the fs.com aggregation "core". We could prob do away with the hpe switches to be far and just have a collapsed core consisting of just the fs.com switches. i've got Gemini AI to draft a guide for me, based my what i think i want to achieve as well as a little interactive site Guide and interactive site attached in case it's useful for someone else. EDIT can't attach the interactive site site won't allow me to attach. VLAN Transition Framework with FS.com Switches.docx

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on a network configuration decision. I have a 3-node Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) cluster and two domain controllers. My current setup has the DHCP role running on both of my domain controllers. I'm considering migrating this to the S2D cluster instead. The primary reason for this is that I'm planning to implement VLANs on my currently flat network, and I'm wondering if having the DHCP role on the cluster would be a better, more robust solution. I'd appreciate any insights or experiences you can share in your setups! Thanks in advance. I also use veeam to backup the nodes and the vms..... not sure how veeam handles "roles" that have been clustered. Thanks

LOL

Lol awesome

Bromcom gets a F for uptime; https://schoolsweek.co.uk/mis-outage-leaves-schools-in-the-lurch/

This presented itself again today...... still not implemented, but at least its now "planned". Thanks for the votes guys. https://ideas.bromcomcloud.com/ideas/BRCM-I-6005

No longer needed. 1 boxed, one not. So as long as you collect or arrange collection.... You can have them. Based in Bolton BL1

Schools aren't happy.......... https://x.com/SharplesSchool/status/1965376699681390731 Its had a massive impact on operations here...... there's discussions here that we're going to have to move away as we just can't rely on it to do the job it's designed to do...

did you just jinx it!

Sorry i'm confused..... is this for new features, bugs that need fixing, or features that doesn't exist that absolutely should from the get go............ I'm still doing csv export imports for creating student portal accounts as we use SSO........ would be nice if there was a button on the student profile....... "click to create Student portal account" and then a batch option for year 7 intake..... "create accounts for student profiles without portal accounts"
