    Sudden Android Auto Issues

    Thanks so much for all your help on this - I think I have cracked it. I think my understanding of how Android Auto worked was messing things up - my Tasker logic referred to other networks, without my realising that Android Auto uses a wifi network itself for connecting. I updated my profiles...

    Which robot vacuum cleaner - Xiaomi H40 vs Roborock Q10 S5

    Thanks very much for that - I went with that model and it is amazing.

    Sudden Android Auto Issues

    Thank you. Do you think that connection to Android Auto itself, rather than Bluetooth, might work better as the trigger to turn off the VPN?

    Sudden Android Auto Issues

    Thanks Orcvader - good call. Wireguard is always running, so I might try turning off the app completely and see if that helps. I have just read that Android Auto dislikes VPNs and disconnects when they are detected. My current guess is that there is a brief disconnection from the Bluetooth...

    Sudden Android Auto Issues

    Hi there. I would be grateful for some advice as I seem to have messed up what was a perfectly working setup in my car. I bought an Android Auto screen that sits happily on my dashboard (Bluetooth recognises it as T86PRO-8A35). Until recently, I would just turn on the ignition, the screen...

    Which robot vacuum cleaner - Xiaomi H40 vs Roborock Q10 S5

    Hi there. I am after robotic cleaner and have narrowed things down to these two - both on sale at the same price at the moment. Which one should I choose? I have a single-floored house with hard floors but for one room but have a few rugs in the other rooms. I also have a couple of cats...

    Cannot use Adguard after changing ISP (Plusnet to Vodafone)

    Thank you for this - it is really encouraging that, should I not get things working (I shall do some more testing this evening) with the Vodafone router, at least I have the option of getting it working with a new router if needed. Out of interest, what router do you have?

    Cannot use Adguard after changing ISP (Plusnet to Vodafone)

    Thanks aaronyuri. What do you think the best setting for testing is? 1. Running DHCP on my router but changing the DNS address to that of Adguard or 2. Disabling DHCP altogether on the router and running that on Adugard instead (if I do this, I assume I do not have to change any DNS settings...

    Cannot use Adguard after changing ISP (Plusnet to Vodafone)

    Thank you. Assigning the DNS directly did not seem to work and I did indeed disable DHCP on the router itself before activating it on Adguard. It does seem that Vodafone router's really do not like bypassing their own DSP, so I either get no web browser results on some devices or, on the...

    Cannot use Adguard after changing ISP (Plusnet to Vodafone)

    Hello all. Until recently, I had a perfect setup on my Openmediavault Server. I am running Adguard as a docker and was redirecting all my internet traffic through Adguard so all the adverts were being stripped out. I did this by changing the DNS on the router to the IP address of Adguard on...

    Budget monitor advice - 27" flatscreen with 1440p

    Hi there. I am after a 1440p gaming monitor (flat screen and 27") for my son. I know very little about monitors and any advice on what to look out for would be much appreciated. Budget of around £150.00, though would pay a little more if really worth it. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Hardware equivalent to XBox One S

    Thanks for the input, guys. The reason I ask is that my son has a really good gaming PC in his room and, over time, we have rebought all the Xbox games on the PC, anyway. He has loads of Xbox games that he never plays and the Xbox only gets used when he wants me to join him in playing 2-player...

    Hardware equivalent to XBox One S

    Afternoon all. I currently have an XBox One S, in our living room, that is purely used for playing Fortnite and watching Sky Go. I was thinking of replacing it with a mini PC but I am not sure what to get - what sort of specs would be equivalent...

    TV Advice - have to purchase from Richer Sounds

    Hi there. My Hisense 55" TV has just bitten the dust and, as it was under warranty (just), Richer Sounds have given me £230.00 towards a new TV. I was not really looking to buy a TV at the moment but my budget, including the credit, is about £800.00. My room could definitely take a 65" TV...

    When did Scalextric become so expensive?

    Interesting - I actually feel a bit guilty now as I think my parents bought us quite a bit of stuff and I don't think I fully appreciated that it wasn't cheap and didn't really take that much care of it. Really good point about the Train Sets/Subuteo - also, those Citadel warriors are still in...

    When did Scalextric become so expensive?

    Just as an example - I had a yellow Mini Cooper that I just saw on E-bay for £45.00. Wish I hadn't poured olive oil on all the wheels and cut the lid off, now - you live and you learn.

    When did Scalextric become so expensive?

    Thinking back, I think my brother and I eventually switched to RC cars as we always felt that the lack of steering did slightly irritate us. I watched a few videos on Youtube and there are quite a lot of alternatives as well, these days - Real FX and Anki seem possible alternatives. I actually...

    When did Scalextric become so expensive?

    That looks amazing - thanks for that. Might have to consider a day there. My brother has a high spec 3-D printer. He reckons it would be fun (and definitely possible) to print cars and stick in a cheapy motor - might be fun to have a go with that.

    When did Scalextric become so expensive?

    I reckon that loads of people have Scalextric in their loft and have no idea of its worth. Seems bizarre that my son is interested at all in slot cars, at all, when I built him a gaming PC, last year - I bet he will want a yo-yo or a slinky, next.
