Hey all, So here it is, i want to re-play COD: MW and MWII (the recent ones). Now I’ve obviously bought them because I’ve played them, but for the life of me I cannot find any emails going back enough time that detail a purchase, nor can I find them in any of my game libraries; steam, uplay...

Thanks. Still find that bizarre, but, hey ho.

lol,well there ya go….huge difference. I need to redesign the topology, starting with finding some SFPs cos all I can see is cat5e and RJ45. I’m still a bit confused, I assumed the UDMP would act as controller and agg switch, utilising each of the 8 lan ports to connect to another switch, but if...

I did notice that the UDMP is acting as DHCP and DNS server, yet we have on-prem DC. Not sure why it was setup like that. Can’t imagine it serving faster than a DC. There is a lot of sluggishness on the network, but lan speed read/write tests to a server share aren’t that bad.

Hi and thanks for the replies. So yes, I found out today that the backplane is only 1Gb shared between all ports which is bizarre to me. So why would it have 12 ports 8+4? So aside from a cat5e cable linking the VM 1Gb fibre router to port9 on the UDMP, there is a netgear running pfsense...

Hi, started at a new company and immediately noticed internet speeds suck. We have a symmetrical 1gb VM connection. speed test from UDMP reports back at approx 870mbps each way. However when i plug my laptop into ANY other port on the UDM and do a speed test i get approx 250mbit down / 550mbps...

Lol, wow. This has got to be one of the epic thread revivals of the decade! :D Thanks but. Weirdly, if it were 6 months ago, I’d have said “jeez dude, I left that industry years ago”. But guess what, I know work for another construction company….but I have my own dev team now so they do what’s...

Hi, so i "think" i'd like a 49" curved ultrawide screen with freesync that i can game on and also for work. I currently have a Dell 34" ultrawide and its excellent. It's also good for having 2-3 windows side by side when working. BUT a 49" would be even better. It would still need to allow me to...

Now this is what I wanted to hear/read. I want to release capital by selling own car. So currently I’m accepting the car allowance, but if it’s an option the salary sacrifice will work with the car allowance. Hope that’s the case

Nothing has been said, but it’s a good point

Thanks. I’ve not even asked the company if they’d consider the salary sacrifice scheme yet. Unless all the info I read is misleading it’s the salary sacrifice seems the much better option to me. Car allowance only seems worth it if I simply pocket the money and stick with my current car. Bear in...

So, I’ll probably do maybe 11,000 miles a year. My current car doesn’t owe me anything and I’ve been ready to change it for over a year now (it’s 6 years old). The £6600 car allowance seems good on paper (£550pcm) but as it gets taxed it works out around an extra £300 (ish) on top of my salary...

Hi all, So started a new job and been given £6600pa as a car allowance. I asked about company car and whilst it’s possible, I’ll get what is available until i’ve passed my probation at 6 months. Then I’ll get to choose a hybrid or electric from an as yet unknown book list. However, they are...

Will do mate, thanks

Ended up buying some autoglym metal Polish. Give it a whirl I suppose.

Err…..I do mention in my OP that I think it’s a mixture of both.

Hi all, Can someone recommend a product that helps restore chrome trims on my pug black 3008 SUV GT (2017). I would imagine there is a mix of chrome (metal) and chrome coated plastic(?) Whenever I clean the car, regular cleaning products don’t seem to restore the chrome and as the car is black...

The Beam is my Alexa enabled device and when that thing is connected, it simply doesn't respond to alexa commands. Disconnect it and immediately Alexa works again. I guess i could try changing which device listens for Alexa commands as i have an Echo Show in the same room. Yeah, that might work...

Thanks, I can double-check but I’m pretty sure I need eARC enabled for the Dolby atmos to work on the sonos beam.

Hi, so i got one of those, but without fully testing it for audio (as its random) it breaks its connection to Alexa. I have routine set up like "Alex, turn on the matrix" and she turns the lamps and TV on. So, can't really use it. Thanks anyway, was worth a shot.
