    Monitor recommendation 27"-32"

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys, been checking them out, probably sub £1k would be ideal. If I was stretching the budget to the Dell at £1600 would I not be better with the Apple studio display ? I know its smaller but might perform better with apple products? Amazon have it at £1329 at...

    Monitor recommendation 27"-32"

    I'm looking for a monitor to connect my MBP M1 to, I'm used to the retina screens on iMac, iPad etc so when I ordered a Samsung 32" LU32R590CWPXXU 32" Curved 4K last week and set it up yesterday, I'm really disappointed with the lack of clarity on it. All the text lacks sharpness and the colours...

    When are you going fully electric?

    I don't have a Zappi but when I did mine I scheduled a charge between 12.30 and 4.30 am (was on octopus go) the next day they emailed me to say the test charge was successful and I would then be ported to the new tariff

    When are you going fully electric?

    My mates X3 had the LED headlamp fail last week, he showed me the invoice £2500. No wonder insurance premiums are on the rise, a light front end bump could end up costing a fortune

    When are you going fully electric?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-68556721 Why does this headline not say "OMG DiEsEl bUs Hits bUiLdInG, MaNy InJuRed" We know if it had electric propulsion what the headline would be.

    When are you going fully electric?

    That was their best video on EV’s that I’ve seen where they actually acknowledge off peak charging rates, they usually just quote the price cap rates which no one with half a brain cell would be charging at.

    EV Car tax question.

    This is only because they are new technology, there's going to be a whole market opening up of new companies that repair batteries and inverters.

    EV Car tax question.

    In the past all vehicles already registered have kept the tax banding that the car had when new. Surely if its going to change from 2025 it will only be vehicles registered from 2025 onwards? Also in the past, tax changes always take place on the 1st of April.

    What's the furthest you've been in an EV?

    I've done central Scotland to Beziers France in a Model 3 LR twice. Approx 3000 mile return trip. Found it really chilled tbh, only stopping to charge the journey takes about 24 hours door to door.

    In our business we have about 10 MOT testers, a few of them choose to do it in the quiet of their own homes but the rest in works time.

    When are you going fully electric?

    Just ordered my wife an ID 4 on a £300 per month lease. Looks like a reasonable deal. It's not the most exciting EV but will be ideal family transport.

    *** The Official iPhone 15 thread (it has USB-C and everything!) ***

    I went down the 0% finance route, all accepted then the site crashed. Got my email from Barclays finance with an Apple order number attached but I've had nothing from Apple and nothing showing on my account. Has this happened to anyone else? I might just leave it and try again tomorrow, you'd...

    Best way to transfer large sum for private sale.

    I was at the owners address and had just finished checking it over. There wasn't much risk. When I sold it a few years later the bloke who bought it payed in full 3 days before coming to see it! That seemed to me like he put a hell of a trust in me.

    I bought a £50k motorhome privately so had to transfer the funds from 3 accounts as each one had a daily limit.

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    It would be great if there was popular uprising and some real democracy but if you read a lot about the history of Russia, it has been ruled by absolute tyrants for over 400 years. It would take a lot to change this as its the norm. My worry is Putin gets the bullet and his replacement is even...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Are you serious? China's economy is on the brink of collapse due to a bursting property bubble and continuous Covid lockdowns. Unfortunately the effects of this will effect the whole world and could destabilize peace in the region as the Chinese leaders try to blame anyone but themselves. A...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    FX Evolution produce a daily market video on Youtube which is really informative but they don't ever tell you when to buy or sell, they just go over concepts and talk about theories. I watch it every morning with my cuppa. Might be a good place to start.
