Ethernet to Thunderbolt Adapter

Hey!

Could really do with an Ethernet to Thunderbolt adapter to borrow for a few days or buy if anyone has one?


Looks like this:

I think your suggestion is utterly despicable. Whilst I have no sympathy for Amazon, there are many small retailers trying to make a living from selling on line. On-line retail is highly competitive with very narrow margins. Postage is a very large element in their cost base where the value of the item sold is fairly low.


The retailer has to meet the cost of the outgoing postage plus the return postage. For a small parcel this amounts to ?6.40. That's a massive loss on an item retailing, at say, ?10 to ?30. On average they would have to make another 10 sales just to cover the loss on one return.


You should be thoroughly ashamed for making that suggestion on a public forum.

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
