Images of items I have purchased.

Fair point lads, as I said whatever suits the situation. For me I'm happy with either as it does the job, and I'm no way some expert or running gigabit servers where proper cabling is required

For the average consumer I'm happy to recommend home plugs still! That's talking from my own experience of course, it may vary for others.

 

[DiscoDave]

They are useless. Absolutely crap. Avoid like the plague if you want a connection that doesn't randomly drop. I've replaced my four PLAs with proper wired ethernet and I am as happy as a pig in mud

Hmm. I've had nothing but positive experiences with my powerline kits. One in the office, one in the living room and one to my lab/NAS. I can stream 1080p to my streamer over the powerline kit without issues.

Suppose it also depends on how decent the electrical circuitry is in the house. My parents new-ish bungalow only yields about 30Mb/sec, yet the house I'm in now I'm able to get ~120Mb/sec from.

G500 started to fail.

G500 started to fail.

Oh no. I don't know what I'd do if my G500 or MX518 died, their new lineup is not the same. How are you finding it?

Why do all mice have bright Leds on 'em. I so need to bin my annoying mouse and find one without silly lights.
And that goes for everything these days, should get some gaffe tape and start making bedroom dark again, without a multitude of what could be called Christmas lights.
Ggrrrrrr.

I also had the MX518, G5 and then the G500 and from the pictures of the G502 I thought it wouldn't be as good but actually I really like it now that I've got the weight the same.

You can turn it off from the settings on their software. I got a SteelSeries mouse though.

I enjoyed your rant! I think it's probably to do with LED's being so cheap now whereas they used to be very pricey. It gives an air of quality and expense. Oh and the masses being attracted to bright shiny things like some kind of technological magpies.

Love the mouse! I need one of those in my life

 

[FurryLemon]

Garish things mice these days. I use a plain black Logitech one that prob a good 10 years old.

 

[Greebo]

Thats why i love the look of the logitech mx master

 

[xb8browney]

I had no idea how bright the led would be, you can however turn it down or make it pulse. I choose the G502 because my last 3 mice have been Logitech.

Are those the ones that are reduced to £99 from £250?

Yes they are

just picked some up for the wife.

 

[DXP55]

Went down to Morrisons at 10.10pm to buy me and the other half some Gü cheesecakes. On special offer of £2 right now. Bought 2 boxes so I could scoff two of them to myself.



Delicious treats.

Also she likes to keep the glass jars they come in for candles and ****.

As Tuesday is our shopping day at Morrisons I put a pack of these in trolley.

In my opinion the chocolate is very bitter and bottom layer is so dry it takes moisture out of your mouth - Ideally it needs a tub of Langleys double cream tipped in to top of glass jar and as you eat it keep topping up with cream - I much prefer the New Yorker cheese cake.

Still you don't know till you try it.

 

[Frozennova]

Great minds, she loves them although I'm not sure if she will actually wear them as I'm pretty sure the last pair I bought her are still sat unworn in the box

 

[Voxination]

Picked this up last week

You've just made me feel very poor.

Good shoes are like fine wine, unopened they get better with age.

Spot on. Haven't had them in years though but the chocolate was delicious. Machine smooth and quite dense. Probably if I had one now it would never taste the same as I once remember due to staying away from just about anything with sugar/salt.

Don't have your computer in the bedroom. Problem solved.

Pretty hard in a house share.
But I dont have a desktop.
Htpc is full of Leda, laptop charger has bright blue light.
Mouse for laptop has bright blue light.
Several other chargers have Leds
TV has red standby led, why does it need a standby led.
Tablet has white charger led.
Hair clippers, white flashing charging led. Why for the love of god.

Think i'll get some gaffe tape tomorrow, been meaning to do it for ages.
