had this issue although it was with my pc using the same tv, just used a different hdmi cable to sort it, dunno if that's any use to you as i dunno if ps5s use hdmi cables or whatever.

Lockdown 1 saw me get ok on the ukulele, 2021 is year of the guitar. Enjoy it alot, headspace where I can switch off, while still satisfying as you improve.
Not to mention my plan to drop out and become a rockstar before my 50th birthday next year!

Anyone with a ps5 suffering screen dropouts on their TV? Just goes blank a few times within a few minutes. Heard it was an issue with the ps4 Pro but dissapointed that it's happening with the ps5. If it's any help my TV is this one.

Me and my mrs have started putting some money away to pay for furniture and stuff when we move house in a few months time.
Only have about £2k saved at the moment but it’s sat in a pot on our joint monzo account doing nothing and gaining no interest whatsoever.
As it isn’t a lot of money and loads of saving accounts are shit atm I was thinking of putting it into premium bonds for a few months, but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for better alternatives? E.g pyramid schemes, selling Avon, gold doubloons etc
Don’t really want to risk losing money in shares (plus I don’t have a clue about it)
depending how savvy you are you could buy a crypto stablecoin and lend it on AAVE. USDC currently gets you 6.9% a month

Yeah, you need to use a HDMI 2.1 cable really. I swapped mine out, albeit for a Series X, with these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08BTXZGK7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 and had no issues at all.
Depends on your usage, it wasn’t the cheapest for me but the ones that were I had never heard of so didn’t risk it. You can use the MSE tool to see which is the cheapest for you and if you do decide to go with octopus use my referral code and we both get £50 each credit share.octopus.energy/airy-lark-10

Anyone got any suggestions on things you can do at the moment to keep entertained/busy/basically not so bored from the monotony of lockdown?
Already cook a fair bit so considered bread etc. and run and do do decent hikes so the outdoors bit is sorted. Just feel like I could use the bigger portion of deadtime for something a bit more.

so many things you can upskill yourself if you find yourself with more time
read some books - popular science, fiction, self improvement
get into shape - can still do home workouts to build muscle or endurance
learn a new language
do your life admin, e.g. learn about personal finance
learn how to code
do a course or build your portfolio that will get you closer to your dream job

Anyone been locked out from there outlook account before?
Been using the same account for 20 years never had a problem until Sunday when it asked me to verify details. Tried to do this but it failed because it was asking me about Xbox and Skype which I haven’t used in well over 10+ years. Phoned them and was told to fill in a form and wait 24 hours and still nothing. So have done this several times now and is getting tiresome. Keep explaining to the person I haven’t heard back and have already done this just to be told another another 24 hours. This is my main email address so need to check it quite regularly.
Any suggestions because phoning them doesn’t seem to work.
