    Raspberry Pi 5 Announced!

    Love that case, a cluster of these would be jaw dropping to look at IMHO. Trouble is that price :(

    What retro things have you done today?

    @Retro6 , not sure what I'm planning to do with mine at the moment. Don't suppose you're anywhere near North Wilts are you? Could consider a loan.

    What retro things have you done today?

    Finally got around to trying my ZIP drive again last night. Found an old PC with PATA HD (Pentium 4 running XP Home) and it does indeed work. Sadly about 20% of the disks I had are no longer readable but I don't think they had anything on I will miss (directories were readable). I did have some...

    Any memories of the old shops we used to visit?

    I bought my BBC Micro from a small computer shop in Sheffield back in 83 but I can't remember the name of the place or exactly where it was.

    PC not getting full speeds with wired ethernet cable

    What's plugged in and powered on at any particular time can have a dramatic effect on powerline adapters. I remember doing some tests in a community hall and they looked really good until we plugged in another 4 or 5 PCs, then the speed dropped horrendously. Upload survived better than...

    Lit Fibre

    Best I ever got when on 1000Mbps was about 700 using WiFi 6 on the iPhone. Just done a successful speedtest, I guess you need to talk to their tech support. That's actually one criticism I have and that is their TS is not 24x7

    Lit Fibre

    Are you doing a test using Ethernet? Wired I always seem to get close to my contracted speeds. I was on 1000 and got 940+ up and down, now on 500 and get 460/470. There is overhead so you'll not get 1000.

    Forza Horizon 4

    Been running on the Ally since I got it, it works great with 15W performance mode, so I don't need to listen to the fans scream. Great way to collect my 275 MS Reward points each day.

    Help with frustrating HDMI sound issue please

    Following mainly the help from @lucid I've acquired a HDMI 1 in 2 out splitter. This seems to be working pretty well even with my 'unrealistically' long HDMI cable to the bedroom. Thanks all.

    Lit Fibre

    The advantage of a static IP is so you can host services yourself by use things like port forwarding. Normally Lit only give you a CGNAT connection so you can't create rules like this and use it in conjunction with a DDNS service. I have a static IP and replaced the Lit Fibre router with a PC...

    What retro things have you done today?

    Oh, that does make it sound that my drive is dead then? Was that natively or did you install some drivers?

    What retro things have you done today?

    I have at least one Zip drive and a bunch of disks but last time I tried it I failed to get it to work? I suspected it was because the PC/OS was too new, is there a good idiots guide as to what OS supports them these days? Of course it could be it's suffering from that click of death or whatever...
