We’ve got two here, and they’re used every day. I like sci fi and there’s loads of kids TV included for Alice. Just be aware that a lot of the promoted content is on paid channels. They’re easy to avoid, but I almost got tripped up when we got the first one.

They can be set up with Alexa too, so I can say ‘Alexa, play the next episode of … ‘…[Read more]

You should be alright, but I bought a copy from Ebay that’s apparently not as legit as I thought.

Good luck 🙂

If I hear of anything I’ll let you know 👍

Thanks for all the replies guys 🙂

Sorry I haven’t been back sooner, I’m struggling with this weather and not getting much of anything done. I’ll try to get on tonight with a proper reply 🙂

Have a great time Bob 🙂

WoF be prepared to barter! 😂

Rather than removing the thread, put the solution in for anyone else who might have the same problem in the future 🙂

Apart from a brief few hours in the early hours of this morning, it’s been over 27 degrees in my living room for the last few days. I’ve been on high dose steroids for the last few weeks, with extra doses last week, so I’ve been warm anyway.

Got a phone call today saying that I need to go to the hospital in Cardiff for blood tests, and the only…[Read more]

Reminds me of this old classic 😀

A smart socket may not do it. My Epson has a ‘soft’ power button, so it doesn’t switch on if the mains is switched on. I can’t reach the plugs to test it at the moment though.

John – Turn the printer on as if it’s ready to print, switch the wall socket off for a few minutes, then switch it back on. If it turns on ready to print, you’re fine.

About ten years ago I caught the first train to Cardiff every day, and wound up regularly sitting with a girl I knew from school and about half a dozen military college students. She was ex military, so would tell them stories about her deployment.

One story was that she was in a hot, dry country, sitting in a hole in the sand with her back to…[Read more]

Depending on your phone or provider, you might be able to set up wifi calling. I get no signal at my mother’s house, but Three added wifi calling a little while back, and it’s been flawless so far. I just use the phone as normal, and they do whatever makes it work 🙂

I was browsing on Geek last night and saw this:

I imagine you can get them better / cheaper, but I though it may be handy 🙂

Unfortunately, I’ve been in much more violent situations than that, and have never reacted that violently. She didn’t pop up behind him and surprise him, she walked the length of the table in full view before he grabbed her. There was no rushing on her part:

Possibly as a wireless / network display. If you’ve connected some media to it, maybe by plugging in a USB drive, it’s now acting as a media server?

Ours was near a takeaway, so I’d tuck the bag under my jacket and walk over with one of the security. We’d drop it off then pick up a load of food for the staff. As the drop off was so quick, any casual observer would just see us going for food for the end of the shift.

Can you do a night drop, where you put the paperwork and cash into a sealed bag and drop it into the night safe? It’s been years since I did anything like it, but the work on our end was basically the same, and the bank would sort out their end instead of us.

I’ve been using AdGuard on Android for the last few days, and it seems to be doing its job. It doesn’t remove the frames from the ads, but it stops the content from loading. I haven’t played with the family filter yet, but I’ve got it set up on my OnePlus One ready to test for Alice.

If you set it up using the private dns setting on Oreo and up,…[Read more]

Thanks for the replies guys 🙂 I’m glad you lot are intelligent. I posted this after being awake all night with a snot nosed toddler, and even I’m struggling to figure out what I was trying to say 😀

Thanks for the heads up. The KA probably isn’t going to move off the drive while I’m sorting it, so hopefully I won’t get it doing anything too…[Read more]
