  • The trouble with Nvidia cards and Linux is that Nvidia decides to stop supplying the BLOB drivers at, seemingly, random. Obviously once that happens any hope of distros supporting that card with an Nvidia driver vanishes fairly rapidly. You may find the non-Nvidia driver works well enough, you may not.

    Fundamentally it’s an NV problem, not a Linux one - I got caught out many moons ago with a truly ancient Quadro card.

    You could argue that a distro should check your driver and refuse to install/update if it’s not going to be supported but that isn’t going to happen soon, or ever, because it’s not a distro problem it’s an NV one…




  • Dude, get your B12 levels checked. Was feeling old and tired, so I went to drs for something else, he ran bloods just to make sure. Came back ok except B12 deficient. Now I get a B12 jab every 12 weeks and top up with high dose B12 pills every day after 4 weeks. Tiredness gone, cold feet at night gone, visual migraines gone grumpy old git moods gone. Oh and fucking around in a good way is way more on the cards!






  • IANAL however… Your daily storage rate is way too low. It will cost you more to get what they owe you than you will get out of them.

    Send them a letter changing the rate to £250 a day and stating payment terms of 30 days.

    You have to be (legally) reasonable, so give them 14 or 28 days to get something sorted, after which the new rate will apply.

    You should send them (snail mail and email) invoices every week reminding them of their ongoing commitment to paying you.

    They may not pay you, in which case you have to go through small claims (Google it) or sue them to get the money they agreed to pay you (by not removing the vehicle after you gave them a reasonable time to comply) the former costs you time and effort the latter cost time effort and money.

    In my experience, once invoices for significant sums start adding up to being a PITA for them, things will happen. Once the car is gone you have to decide if it is worth your time and effort to chase down the invoices. Hint - it probably isn’t.

    I got rid of incompetent bailiff companies this way (they kept buying a debt that someone had taken out using my address as theirs and the original loan company didn’t check)

    tl;dr - you have to make it worth their while to make you go away whilst being cool, collected and, above all, reasonable.
