Just ran the figures and based on paying the standard 5% into your pension then in extra money I get an 1.70 per month increase take home pay.

The rest of the increase is paid via tax relief direct into your pension. Can’t touch it though for years to come.

Good long term I guess but hardy helps short term. Most likely just encourage people to opt out the pension totally.

Same here. Sansa in the drawer, only brought it as used to be able to hack a ps3 with it before full custom firmware was a thing.

Zune still works but no windows 10 drivers so stuck with old music 😕

Both mine are there and tested for power use.

Running 24/7 for a good 6 months. Certainly not noticed any difference to power cost.

I’m a big fan of dell wyse machines. Loads on ebay, ex business machines. X86 so decent support, decent dell power supply, on / off button / in cases and low power.

I have wyse 3040 for pihole cost 39.99

I have wyse 5070 with windows 10 for plex and running a Ubuntu 22 server in virtual box, cost 59.99

Lucky I guess but noticed when I leave work at 4.30pm, I can get to the local sainsburys in 5 minutes and the amount of discounted food is crazy. I buy gbp 4.00 meals all the time for 99p then just freeze and eat for the next few weeks.

Good as long as you aren’t picky and will eat anything.

Freezer currently full of meat and ready made meals.

I put them into groups, servers, consoles, computers, phones, smart devices, media. Between 10 to 20 per range.

Everything else the dhcp server gives out ip over x.x.x.150 so easy to see new stuff.

Nice pub, lived by it for years. Right pain to get to though, mud road to reach it.
