The last two laptops I have came with a USB-C charger, which is understandable, as they need more power. The dell one was just a hard linked power supply, but the apple one was just a power supply with a USB-C socket and a USB-C to Magsafe lead. Which is great as apple make rubbish leads that break, and I have had to buy several different power supplies as the lead was dead, now I just need the lead. However, I got a couple of devices with USB-C power sockets so I had to go and buy new leads for those. Standardisation huh?

Used to be a lot cheaper! You have to be pretty well off to do it now.

I did my degree on the OU too, luckily finishing before the government changed, couldn't have afforded it now. My dad didn't believe in going to uni, so I had no other option earlier I did the full 360, the only year I struggled was doing a 60 and a 30 in the same year, especialy when the 30 which should have been easy was just badly done (Think it was a first year of intro) Still glad I did it and lucky with my timing

I most definitely know the reason!

I think this would have been a great thing 10 years ago with all the nokia chargers and everything with thousands of adaptors, but at the same token a) everything now just has a USB socket on it and a lead to get to what you want b) I am not sure I am keen on legislation saying what type of connection something has, because who decides these things. I assume the new standard is USB C, so the 90% case in my house of having USB A sockets providing power everywhere will mean a lot of new adapters and having had to wait for a long time not upgrading my macbook because the new ones had USB-C power sockets, rather than the magsafe which is what i need in a laptop that i use on a daily basis.

Hi All, The forum was upgraded tonight to a new version of PHP (the language it runs on) as the world has moved on and we could no longer do updates without upgrading it. it seems to have gone jolly well, apart from the Sales forum falling over. I believe that I have fixed that now, but if anyone else sees anything unusual (and I mean really unusual, not just someone posting that they don't think that the P bass is all that, or that maybe jaco would have been better on a 6 string), can you let us know, thanks

AFAIK, having found the error I have fixed it and in my checking it now seems to work in both light and dark themes (I was feeling all clever about fixing it and noticed the logs still erroring, and remembered the dark theme). I am now not getting errors, so I am assuming fixed. If anyone is still getting it (on a newly clicked page), can you let me know by message or something, thanks!

It takes a song with real power and feeling and removes all emotion from it, merely replacing it with being loud. Honestly never heard a cover version by a proper group that destroyed the feeling of a song so badly, or a song that I actually felt such hate for that it actually made me feel less of the group.

OK, thanks for the headsup - looking into it now

Well, he is wrong, it is absolutely dire. and I like disturbed.

Agreed, they look a bit odd like that (even more so on that one where you see how they are out). My shuker has slightly angled pickups, but as they are black on black and only jazz size, they don't really notice but as his are big, they do.

Love that. Which isn't surprsing as most of his colourwork is good

Literally was my problem with it. I wasn't even colour blind so what reason did they have!

The careers advisers job was basically to funnel everyone at my school into the dockyard or the military. To be fair I went to interviews for both. The Air force were really enthusiastic, but it turned out that they wanted me to be an engineer that didn't involve learning to fly a plane AND i had to cut my hair, and the dockyard (hellish interview) offered me that job but it was a 1/3rd less than marconi did, so a bit of a no brainer.

I think the light marks make it. There is a very similar uberhorn that doesn't have the marks, I prefer the one with, it adds a highlight. Only because it is a fretless! The uberhorns are supremely comfortable and mine is so light. Only downside is they wouldn't be so good for someone who wanted to use a plectrum at the time.

Fancy, a test and everything. My first interview they just gave me a bundle of wires and asked me to show them colours they named. I thought it was kind of dumb at the time as I had no idea that people were actually colour blind.

I could bring an ABM600 if it was needed but i feel we probably have a topheavy data points / time ratio!

Just use the code

Personally I find the uberhorns the nicest looking basses.

I don't think that is a fair comparison as that is a special edition, so it is more in a comparison to something like this: https://www.andertons.co.uk/fender-custom-shop-75-jazz-bass-in-black-over-aged-3-tone-sunburst-heavy-relic which is a beaten up jazz for the same sort of money. I don't think these things are designed to play, they are designed to be hung on the wall somewhere.

They have their problems like the fender ones, but I assume they are probably on balance working out the same. January this year - in site news

Honestly I am sure that if a child did draw one, it would look more like a fender because it is roundy and simple. Probably more a P though.

My school career officer told me there were no careers in computers for people like me. Which was nice

Even if there was a radio caroline or whatever, it would play the hits of now, not the parents or grandparents generation, and as you said, you don't listen to music so why would it be surprising you don't know anything produced recently
