    Monitor Help - Weird looking colours

    How are the monitors connected to your PC, via a single graphics card? I've seen these kind or artefacts caused by driver issues, cables or failing graphics cards. The first thing I would do is check you are running the latest driver for your graphics card. If you are, install the previous one...

    Seat Ateca

    I think they do these with the 1.0 as well, so I would bet the OP had that. The newer 1.5 tsi isn't too bad but it's still not a lot of power in a car this size. I had a Skoda Karoq for a couple of years with the 2.0 tsi and that went pretty well, which is basically the same car as the ateca.

    Audi Service - some advice please

    As others said I would stop going to the main dealers and find a good indie/VAG specialist. I would only ever use a main dealer while a car is under warranty as Ive had issues with several of them. I bought an approved used VW T-Roc R last year and the rear discs were badly corroded, I had...

    How often do you use a pen or pencil to write?

    Writing cards/envelopes is about the only time, even then I normally go for Moonpig cards etc but they've become quite expensive now.

    Best "quality" mouse for MAC?

    I use a basic Logitech G603 with mine, lasts months with a couple of decent rechargeable AA's in it. Actually on my 2nd one now after wearing out the first one after ~3 years.

    cron job not working - what am i doing wrong?

    Did you get this working? As mentioned you should have all the cronjob executions being logged in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog depending on the os/distro. Errors should get logged there too, otherwise you may want to do something like this...

    What is the worst Apple product you have owned?

    MacBook Pro 13 with Touchbar is easily the worst for me. I had a couple of issues with the butterfly keyboard but nothing a bit of compressed air couldn't fix. The real issue was the touchbar freezing and the system crashing or not waking properly from sleep. It also had some copper tape hanging...

    Anyone got any experience with dashcams?

    I've had a few, some cheap and some expensive. Cheaper ones tend to stop recording after a while even when using a good SD card. I would recommend a Nextbase one as they've been the most reliable for me. They also sell kits so you can easily hard-wire them into the car with a piggyback fuse...

    Lost V5.... But need to send it off to update change of address. Catch 22?

    I posted my V5 to DVLA to change address and never heard back, got lost in the post! I requested a new one and address change at the same time. The replacement one says "This is a duplicate" but hopefully not a problem come resale time. Although I did take photos of my original V5 before I...

    RHCSA and RHCSE study material

    If you already have "the big 3" books, why are you thinking of buying yet another book? Seems overkill to me, but each to their own.. I would use 1 Book and a video series then do your own studying to get a deeper understanding of topics you are not 100% sure about from the exam blueprint. I...

    RHCSA and RHCSE study material

    I can recommend the EX200/EX300 book by Asghar Ghori, but I'm not sure books are the best route anymore. You will also find the Linux foundation SysAdmin/Engineer certs are very close to the RedHat certs in terms of content (I've done all 4), and there is some good course material at Linux...

    Centos 6.9 - Swap space question

    You don't have to use LVM but its a good idea and makes things easier later on, just remember /boot needs to be on a regular partition. /boot only contains your bootloader and the kernel. It sounds like the bulk of the OS may have been on a logical volume which you deleted, hence it couldn't...

    New house - Energy suppliers?

    Hi All Moving into my first house in 10 days, can't wait! Currently gas and electric is via two different suppliers, but I would like to use one as its easier and cheaper on a combined tariff. Can I ring up on day one and subscribe to a combined tariff, or do I have to contact the existing...
