How do I turn off this pop up?

A bit annoying as when I exit a full screen video it blocks my tabs for a second or two. On macOS if it makes a difference.

2017 Air screen issue

Friend just opened her Macbook Air 13" 2017 to see the screen like this. I assume it's a hardware issue (LCD damage, or ribbon cable), not software but wanted to get a second opinion. Thanks

Does the S24U still have brightness issues?

Read a few posts here from 1 to 2 years ago saying brightness outdoors wasn't great, even compared to the S23U. Is this still the case?

I currently have an S23+ and want a brighter screen for using it outside when it's sunny.

Thanks

T212 Invest: Is reporting tax on accumulating funds simple?

To those who have actually had to do taxes on accumulating funds in their invest account, was it easy or did you have to do the whole thing where you work out what the dividend payments were for the fund by going into the fund documents, or did T212 make it easy with their end of year tax report? I don't know if it's best to put money in a distributing or accumulating fund.

Thanks

Why is the Neo so well received?

M4 Airs are about the same price as the 512GB Neo. A far better laptop than the Neo, yet people here seem amazed by the Neo's value.

Even an older M2 and M3 Air is better bar the Neo's single core speed. Is it just the colors and the fact it's just a new product?

Taxable Invest Account, Dist. or Acc. Funds?

I currently have a S&S ISA so no worries with tax but now I'm looking at investing in T212's taxable Invest account I'd like to know the best practices for easy tax reporting.

For an all World ETF, is it better to choose an accumulating fund or a distributing fund and just manually reinvest? The latter seems easier for reporting dividend income, but I'm not sure.

And what about investing in individual stocks listed abroad like in the US or Europe, or elsewhere. Does T212 make it easy to input all the tax figures when it comes to the end of the year?

Thanks

Would like to know more about these carpets

A relative of mine bought these sometime in the 60s or 70s.

The first red carpet is approx. 2 meters x 1 meter. Reverse image searches come back as wool, either Persian, Iranian, or Afghan.

The second item is a pair of carpets. Each one about 2.5 meters long by 0.7 meters wide. Bought around the same time I think. Reverse image searches come back to it being from Mali.

If anyone could ID them further it would be great. We're also looking to sell so not sure what price to list them at. We were thinking about £150 for each item.

Thanks.
