We've had the "1-2-3" system for like 3 years now. Food waste every week, recycling every 2 weeks and general waste every 3 weeks.

Cable run will always be best for speed and stability but next best option would be fixed directional point-to-point antennas (one on house laser aligned with another on the studio). The higher up the better and will need a clear line of sight so make sure trees growing leaves in summer and...

For just 250GB of data? Cloud storage combined with some external HDDs or SSDs is more than enough for that.

Sent a parcel out (ebay order, sent by Evri) and has been delivered back to me with "SENDER" printed on the label. Does anyone know if customers can just go into the tracking and cancel the order before delivery or would Evri have done this themselves due to some delivery issue? I'm guessing not...

Yes it's just a resume point for the last time you stopped watching so assuming you never skipped it would technically be the watch time for the session. There's no way to find out overall watch time as in how many times the file was opened and for how long each time. VLC could be sending...

Paste %APPDATA%\vlc\vlc-qt-interface.ini into the address bar of any explorer window and look for the [RecentsMRL] line then the filename of the deleted file. This stores the final point the video was watched to in milliseconds. You'll have to count how many points up to the filename to match...

Been using SSDs as DVR drives for years and have had no issues with writing 60-100GB per day of HD video.

Another old desktop saved from a skip going to landfill. Be nice to find one with an AGP slot but the SFF makes up for it with this one.

Build a IPTV server with tuner adapters or buy one of those pre-configured boxes that does the same > attach to the aerial or satellite sources you have (will need a separate connection for each tuner) > broadcast channels over your network. Most half decent smart TVs should be able to play IPTV...

In a similar situation right now with InPost (who use Hermes) where the package has apparently been stuck in a warehouse somewhere since the 4th of Dec. I knew there would be no way this would be resolved over the Christmas period and the claim is still stuck on "Pending Courier". Does anyone...

If you're thinking of sending them to charity then be wary that they will mostly likely end up in the bin unless it's something valuable that sells for more than a few quid. The distribution centre in my area has been disposing of disc based media en mass for quite sometime including stuff like...

Something seems to have changed. I haven't seen an ad for as long as I can remember but recently been getting the "skip ad >>" button showing up only no ad actually plays. This is with uBlock and AdBlock.

A cake factory near me makes brownie and flapjacks for supermarkets. There's sometimes a skip outside for defective products and I've seen Tesco and other brand names written on the packaging for the same product.

I have for many years but I only really keep stuff that is not readily available at a minimum on DVD or is just too hard to find otherwise. I also written a DVR PHP script a few years back to automate the process so I don't have to manually scower through an EPG each time. I just enter the...

Only just seen your post, sorry. No I don't have the keyboard that went with this, nothing else was present where I found it or I just didn't see it. It beeps on power up but until I get a display that works with it I won't know what it's beeping about.

No, but I'll check it out. Thanks.

Recently I found this old machine dumped in a skip. Taking a guess it was probably thrown out after a house clearance from a deceased elderly person where it's probably been laying in a box for over 15 years. It's an Apricot Xen-i 386/45 Model No: SX345 manufactured by the Apricot Computers on...

Is it possible to replace the Home Hub with any other off the shelf VDSL modem? Ever since BT raised the speed on my line it's become a lot more unstable and disconnects almost everyday. It's was fine before with the slower speed and stable but it's now syncing at speeds the line just can't cope...

Offline HDDs are pretty safe (that's basically all RDX is) but it's still more expensive per GD than tape. I use offline HDDs (mainly for easier access) and then create another copy on tape to archive away. I can also free up lots of space on my NAS by offloading files I don't frequently access...

4 drives. No need for TRIM or anything else special. Speed isn't paramount so 3Gbps will suffice if slower controllers are cheaper.
