    Adding Android system to Volvo V50

    I got the 10.26" one. It does everything I want it to do really well, only complaint I have is it doesn't have auto brightness so I needed to manually adjust it in the early mornings/evenings of winter but it's quick and easy enough to do. It's a generic brand device so you may be able to find...

    Adding Android system to Volvo V50

    I did this on my C30 (same interior and dash as S40 V50). https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/what-have-you-done-to-your-car-today.18472267/post-36576256 Works nicely for the £40 it cost and looks pretty OEM IMO :)

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Last year was £283 for me with 4k miles and mods declared. New job this year and my mileage has jumped to 15k..... Cheapest was £305! Surprisingly little increase so jumped at it.

    Help finding lowering springs

    Oh dear. But to answer the question, I've always found H&R springs to be pretty good for the money. https://www.larkspeed.com/hr-lowering-springs-839087/?aditem=839087

    The **Now Eating** Thread

    I've become a sausage snob in recent years and only like the "high quality" more expensive ones now, so don't buy them often. Tend just to stick with Quorn unless BBQing.

    The **Now Eating** Thread

    Homemade pizza - Quorn sausages, bacon, onion, yellow pepper, fresh chilli, lots of cheese and BBQ sriracha :D

    This Business and Moment...

    I am officially unemployed for 2 weeks, until I start my new role. Feels very weird. I haven't changed jobs in over 10 years and the move will be bit of a lifestyle change.

    AVATAR: FRONTIERS OF PANDORA

    Just over half the main story into this now. Graphically it's by far the best I've seen, it's stunning maxed out, the story is an utter snooze fest though. Very tiring having to go see someone, listen to some poor voice acting and have them tell me to see someone else, then someone else, oh...

    Best looking games

    Avatar frontiers of pandora gave me the same kinda feeling as crysis did, back in the day. The environments, effects are very good.

    AVATAR: FRONTIERS OF PANDORA

    I just paid for a months Ubisoft+/whatever the call it these days to give this a go. What a game, feels like below 60fps maxed out on my little 3060 TI @ 2560 x 1080 but my god it's pretty, story is a bit meh but visually, it's incredible! Edit: Just ran the benchmark - Looks like my 3060 TI...

    I've accepted now. Sometimes you just need to **** it and make the change. Hopefully it's for the better. Current place has lots of nice people, absolutely terrible owner and higher management though, very toxic and the work is a complete mess of people/managers not having a clue how to do...

    Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

    The game did another update just now and seems to be completely broken, can't find any games :(

    Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

    Looks and plays nice but I got an error when updating that said it had wiped all my stats and unlocks. Fortunately it didn't, but it did reset all my loadouts :mad: https://dotesports.com/call-of-duty/news/what-happened-to-my-mw3-loadouts-in-season-one How does a company this big, with this...

    This Business and Moment...

    Yeah that's what I'm a little worried about though I'm kinda lucky that it's a hybrid role and I'll still be WFH for 2 days. Either way, think I should probably accept and just crack on with it, it's too big a pay increase to pass, especially since it's a decent company too.

    Looking at maps it's a bit under 3h to get the train, so no :D Not sure they're too dependable these days either, or cheaper than the £20 per day petrol bill.

    This Business and Moment...

    32, married, project house with no kids (yet). The salary jump is what's really pushing it for me and that I've been in my current place 10 years now and there's nothing new to learn, plus most of my team left recently due to catastrophic management **** ups. The commute time is just under an...

    This Business and Moment...

    I've been job hunting for a while after the mess my current place is in and I'm really on the fence at accepting an offer I received from a company that does interesting things, reviews very well on Glassdoor (something my current place does not!) and from what I've seen during the interviews...

    Diesel, EV, or stick with petrol?

    Yeah, any potential purchase would be a few months after settling in and knowing I'm happy there. I've specified it's 3 days only on-site for me and if it's not in the contract then I won't be going through with it. They didn't seem phased by that. I got my T5 a few months back as the low mpg...

    Diesel, EV, or stick with petrol?

    They do but I haven't seen how it works yet/if it's worth doing. Well it's a Volvo, they're pretty much the masters of making a comfy seat and as it's a pretty big engine, it'll happily plod along on motorways all day long. The T5 engines are good for hundreds of thousands of miles if looked...
