The S10+ is a Fanstastic phone, likely user error And as for your 'issue' I believe, press VOLUME on the left side, then press the 3 little dots above the volume indicator on screen... Once it opens up 'all' the volumes, make sure the 'Notifications' sound, (4th along) is not muted, and has 'some' volume... This is where the PING falls under! P.S. if you get rid, it can find a home here

I recently got a letter through saying it's now available in my area, and have also had marketing from a few providers using the system... Tempted to move off Virgin Media and get the Vodaphone 24month offer (900mb for 30/month) - can't beat that anywhere tbh!

There are actually several different reasons your webpages could be loading slow... It could be from something as simple as your HDD is almost full, to hardware issues, but let's not jump the gun Firstly, try to disable any plugins/extensions that may be on your web browser... Also, don't run CCleaner, you can break things with that unless you know what you're doing... but You can clean out temporary files etc using "Window Disk Cleanup" Just, click START and start typing "Disk-Cleanup" and it'll show... click "Cleanup System files" go through the list tick things to remove, and click ok.. Once you have done this, reboot and see how it is, and report back, we can advise further if it's needed

It shouldn't, I'd be surprised if modern Linux distro's don't support UEFI, as that's the way it's heading (away from classic BIOS, to UEFI) Windows 11 requires UEFI so it's likely it is enabled, but as I said i'd be surprised if you need to disable it... Unless you mean AHCI / Legacy mode for the SSD/SATA controller, but again, i'd be surprised if linux doesn't support AHCI mode...

Basically yes... Install SSD, boot from USB, install to SSD... as for Windows 11, if it already has it on, make sure it's "Activated" and his Microsoft Account is signed-in.... then you can download a fresh Windows 11 using the tool at www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11 - this will let you make a bootable USB you can use to install a fresh Windows 11 should you choose to...

You can do it similar to how 'assessment of damage' for insurance pay outs can work. Talk to a local repair center (Officially registered business) and take it down, ask them to value it for insurance purposes, you will need a breakdown and valuation, on a headed paper, dated.. written or printed, and signed... this 'should' be enough for any insurance company.. I know when I have worked in repair shops etc in the past, and done insurance quotes it's exactly how we did it, so it 'should' be fine the other way... If you are unsure though, contact your insurance company and just ask if that would be enough.. Be weary though, as PC prices are so volatile, if you are given a quote (example £800) and go to your insurance, in a years time they might only cover it at 500, another year it might only be 200.... can't say exactly, but again your insurance company should know and be able to help.

What are (supposedly) the best, and 2nd best then?

I'm not sure if it's a Wendy's Burger Bar, like those in the US, looking into the original plans, and the application, the "company name" on the application (assuming parent companies name) is "Papas Hospitality Group" which is a 'family group of fish and chip shops. founded in 1966' Their Wikipedia page says they are opening in Sheffield also... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa's

That is odd indeed... With the giffGaff sim installed, go to the Settings > About Phone, and look at the Phone Status/SIM Card status.. You should see the network name, "Mobile network state" and "Service State if service state says "in service" it 'should' be working.... let me know what's in there, can look further into it

If you have the AT&T unlock code, you 'should' be able to unlock it (assuming it's the PUK) You basically, put in the SIM you want to use, and it 'should' ask for the PUK code, enter the code and press ok, restart the device and it 'should' unlock.. if that doesn't work, you could try entering #7465625*638*# in the dialler, it 'should' ask you for the code (no SIM needed with this method)

It does.. there are two options on there, one fully wipes the other, not... The descriptions are below them in windows too, you can take a look, and just not actually run it

If it's from the US and locked to AT&T, there's a possibility that it may not work on networks over here, as the frequency (4G and 5G bands) are totally different... the phone may be US only, or may support UK/EU bands also, but you won't know without trying it... But also, usually only the original network can unlock it, so you would need to contact AT&T

My purpose was exactly what I said in the post... using the method you stated, (windows 'snap' feature) does not really accomplish what the original poster wanted, the Picture in Picture addon does.. I was simply pointing this out, and saying that PiP addon is better, and why etc... not my issue there... if you feel it was a snipe or dig, that's your problem, not mine!

And have the video in a small area (less than 1/4 of the screen) with the rest of the page etc below it, instead you can just use the "picture-in-picture" plugin (like said above) and have a fullscreen video playing, AND a 2nd (the size you choose) over the top.... using 100% total screen space for video playback, instead of less than 1/3 overall..

Not quite... "the event cost £10m ($13.8m) at the time - less than 1% of the council's budget, according to him - and this was paid off in two years. But others are quick to point to the loans taken out to build venues such as the Don Valley Stadium, Ponds Forge International Sports Centre and Sheffield Arena. This debt has been refinanced four times, and the council says the final cost will be £658m ($913.5m) when it is finally paid off in 2024." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-57837682

no, it normally means, you work for the month, then get paid at the end of the month... so you work then paid, instead of paid at the end of the month, for the month ahead!

Effectively what I was getting at above, but with much more detail

There should be a yearly pot, X amount towards renovating and improving listed buildings... "Historic England" as it is, should take said pot into account when deciding which buildings to give "listed" status, if they cant afford to improve/renovate said building(s) they don't get status... Would make them think a bit more and harder on their decisions of which to list and which not...

You will eventually, when it gets to a point there's only a few left refusing install, they will make it a requirement for service, and cut you off if you don't install.. not saying this will be tomorrow, maybe another decade, but it'll happen eventually...;

Depends a lot on your network, I have seen over 100mbps on 4G

O2 has the worst 5G coverage, but Sheffield is mostly 100% covered by all networks. at the moment, there's no 'reason' to go to 5G from 4G Unless you need the speed it offers, if you're just browsing the web, sending emails etc then it really wont make much difference... Although, eventually all phones will be 5G, and 6G will come in...

tbh, I kinda agree, there should be some 'range test' type tool they could use to test if it'll work properly.. I know when the guy installed mine, he said he wasn't sure if it'd work due to the distance/position etc... (and the fact it's outside, i'm on top floor (of 2) and it's through a brick wall as well) - but we found a place in the corner of the kitchen it gets signal 95% of the time (Unless like I said in my first post) This was my choice, cause he said "I can still do it, but cannot guarantee it'll work", I said it was ok, and to continue.... I wonder what % of people with issues were warned of potential problems, but still agreed to continue.. I wonder what % were not warned of potential problems... etc.. No, When people talk about faulty smart meters, they are generally talking about the IHD (In home display) which wont display their usage/balance/credit remaining etc... the 'Smart Meters' themselves (that replace the older gas/electric meters) use the old 2G/3G mobile bands to communicate directly back to your energy supplier(s)... These will pretty much always work, even if they loose 'signal' (for whatever reason, bad weather as an example?) they remember the data, and send it at the next opportunity... I'm not sure about other ones, but my actual meter (not the in-home display) does not display anything beyond a single letter, so I wouldn't be able to give any sort of reading manually any ways, They would want me to use the IHD (in home display) - which is where (as I have been saying) most of the issues lie, not the 'smart meters' themselves...

approx 10 years... we're on version 3 of the meter, an average of around 3.3 years per 'version'... That seems about right to find an issue, fix it and redesign, manufacture, and start shipping the new version.. It's how most 'tech' goes, but lots are fixed with software updates. Not everything can be 100% tested for every eventuality, by a handful of people... it's only when they get out 'in the wild' that problems can arise.. looking into your "31%" of homes reporting issues, it seems most are exactly what I said above, keeps loosing signal (so nothing is displayed on the IHD) - this is due to limitations on the radio frequencies they are allowed to use, and is improved with the new(er) versions, as they have greater range.. Again though, every house/location/property is different, they cannot test for every position/eventuality to cover every possible installation...

The issue with them, is the fact they don't have a great range from the meter outside, to the IHD inside, I have to keep my IHD in a specific place or I loose signal, and due to where I live, if a neighbour leaves the (shared) cupboard open, then I can loose signal altogether. Other than this, I find it useful and handy to have... There will be teething problems, as with anything that gets introduced to the wider public, but issues will be worked through time... if you can only find a handful of people having issues, out of the millions that have been installed, it's not that bad tbh! I have also connected my IHD to my home WiFi, so it can report back to my energy company easier, and be updated easier.. Some IHD's don't automatically update display of certain things, but this is due to older vs newer versions, I believe they are just starting to roll out V3 in some areas, the V1's weren't very good overall, I have a V2, it works, and is handy but could be a little better You can usually manually set your tariff's and daily limit warnings etc
