    TP-Link Archer C6. Will it work as an AP and switch?

    Rotel A11 Tribute Firmware update brick...

    Just thought I let you know, Rotel just gave the instructions for recovery. Basically the same as the normal update but you hold Phono then turn amp on and use STMs own tool rather the Rotel YModem. Very pleased haha, thought I was going to have to send it for service and pay! Now running...

    M2 Mac mini Crashes when doing FTP

    Potentially, I have turned of Beta now, will have to see what happens when Sonoma releases. Strange as I have never really had any issues with windows that I can think of and yet macOS is supposed to be the solid/reliable one haha. Aside from this I have been very impressed though I must say...

    M2 Mac mini Crashes when doing FTP

    Hi all, I've had an M2 Pro Mac Mini for a few months, first time using a mac - my main PC was just using too much power doing nothing most of the time and I wanted to give MacOS a real go. It's been great, and FTP using FileZilla has worked just fine until now. Now every time I try a transfer...

    Water Meter Reading

    The washing machine is twice a week at most. It does say they read it once a year I think on the site but the bills I've had so far have been estimates so wanted to read myself. How much is your water bill if you don't mind, I know areas differ just curious!

    Water Meter Reading

    Erm I think so looking at the bill? Yeah looking at that I am only paying £20 for water so I doubt me giving reading will make much difference then. Oh well, I shall reading it for a few months just as a test now I have cleaned it, only take 5 mins.

    Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit...

    The stands are from my previous setup and although they look high are only about 100mm or so too high (tweeter to ear when seated that is). They were perfect before. Its one of the reasons I am thinking about going floor stander as I would need to buy new lower stands anyway.

    Amazon Prime sucks massive donkey balls

    I have not bothered with Prime for about 2 years. I found that even without Prime, I was getting most stuff the next day, even on Sundays. I think they are so set up for Prime it's more effort to "delay" those orders. Obviously, this only works for stuff over £20 or just get multiple items to...

    Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit...

    Recently moved into a new place. Went for the bigger TV unit as that 49" will be replaced with a 65" at some point and should "fill the gap". Pretty sure I'm going to get some floor standers as well, really not sure what ones though. Focal Chora 826 I am currently eyeing up but it changes often!

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Is that something you can do without cost? I just got my first mortgage over 25yr on a 5yr fix at 2%, offer was about 6/7 months ago hence the rate. I can overpay by 10% but not worth it at my current rate, I can earn more on cash haha. So after my 5 years could I theoretically reduce the...

    Does this build look ok?

    Yeah he is not going to me interested in Overclocking and has no real interest in PCs so the low end mobo is no big deal. Same goes for the case, not interested in how it looks just looking for an obvious choice to save money there. I doubt this rig would put out much heat anyway so 1 fan will...

    Hi all, For a mate with an £800 budget for just the tower no screen or mouse etc.. He really only want to play DayZ and some older games, but he did mention CoD as well - Online that is. I have no idea about AMD cards but Youtube tells me that card trades blows with 2080 sometimes. He will...

    Low power PC for Roon/Youtube/Kodi

    Ooh just found this on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCTns6_ifhY Looks like it would do the job I think? Not sure CPU would be very snappy mind, might see if there is a slightly higher up model.
