    Speaker connection to PC

    Currently infuriated by 3.5mm jacks that have to be fiddled around and then somehow physically secured in exactly the right position in order to transmit a decent signal. Why on earth hasn't the industry moved on to USB or optical connections for sound yet?

    SSD usage error

    Went through it all pretty much folder by folder and noticed lots of randomly named folders here there and everywhere. Ran a check in Defraggler and it came up fragged to hell with about a dozen unused sectors. Ran TRIM a few times through ssd toolbox and got back to 12GB free. With seeing all...

    SSD usage error

    My Corsair Force 3 120 is currently showing as 511MB free of 111GB, yet there's only 54.9GB of data on it. Is it dying? Or has Win7 screwed up?

    windows 10 being forced?

    I just did an update check on my rig, and in the optional updates section, the "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home" was AUTOMATICALLY selected! 2845.9MB download. Seriously not happy about that, if I wanted to upgrade to windows 10 I'd bloody buy it! Hoping that de-selecting and hiding it will...

    Upgrade notification removal?

    Sick of seeing this "Get Windows 10" icon in my notification tray, how do I get rid of it? Sticking with 7 anyway, works flawlessly for me.

    The 2012 Chilli growing thread - the second burn!

    Outdoors plants I just give a shake, though the wind normally takes care of that, occasionally stick a finger in. My cayennes are flowering well in the plastic greenhouse, nothing else yet, and only one flower on anything else outside, the chocolate bell pepper.

    My outdoor plants haven't been doing much lately, we've had enough rain to turn the planters into tubs of compost soup (drainage holes now drilled, lol), and plenty of wind too. When it's been better it's been really nice, and they have gotten pretty bushy, but they're still short. Have got...

    Have to admit I've got 25ish but only 1 or two of each, mostly due to varying colours.

    Yeah some decent weather would be nice, the ground round here's like a thoroughly soaked sponge now! A couple of my ornamentals have been putting buds out for a while but dropping them, and I was surprised to see last night that one of the b+q plugs had a large bud on it, really need to plant...

    I'm in a similar situation Scotspaul, only window I have available is NE facing, though I did get hold of a temporary greenhouse to go against the SW garage wall. I've had some of my plants out there for a month now, they took a hit from a few 5c nights but I trimmed a lot of growth away last...

    I'd say get it into a bigger pot if it's root-bound, the extra, fresh compost/potting mix might sort the yellowing out?

    Sadly that's just californian wonder bell pepper, I've put it in a 6" pot since and it's still going crazy on the windowsill. Still not had any success with orange scotch bonnets, reds are doing fine though.
