I'm starting to think khemist has an issue.

I did for a couple of weeks, i've got an idea in my head for a cpu only loop though i want to try.

Yeah, it never stops for long!.

I bought one of those bequiet silent loop 120 AIO coolers the other day and threw the original rad, tubing and fittings straight in the bin and attached a much thicker rad and normal sized tubing and fittings but i think i have to do it properly again.

I have one, so far so good.

Disappointing they are not 1080P, instead 720P and the battery life is not as good as they suggest, certainly at first anyway as you will keep having a nose at your house. But other than that I am pleased with them, find the motion detection and night vision works well and they seem to work with the app really nicely.

Well...the first step to a cure is acknowledging you have a problem

Not in this case... first step is new pump, second new block, then just surrender and get the fittings and pipework and rgb everything and a new case and fans and whole rig while you're at it.

Thanks for the address, I'll be over this afternoon for a cuppa

e: Newcastle? Sod that

I'd be happy to have a brew with you, but that ain't my address - that's OcUK's address. I'm a few miles down the road in Stoke.

As I said my comparison to the GTC is an Audi TT so for me it was a worse comparison but as you say it still feels very stable and handles reasonably. I haven't tried the companion app yet, im not sure it will work as I don't have the full infotainment system only the basic radio.

I think you need to have OnStar for it to work.

Would be interested in how you get on with this. I like the idea but I'n unsure how secure the devices are from getting nicked if you decide to host externally and whether or not the cloud based platform is as restrictive as some individuals claim.

gord said:
They look cool, they must have batteries in. How long do they last? How do you recharge them?

crinkleshoes said:
Unless you mount them out of reach, they're very easy to nick.

Cloud based platform I'm not fond of personally... I prefer control over it and no subscription for longer storage periods.

They're only 720p...

I picked up some much better resolution HikVision PoE cameras for about £80 each instead.

darkgen said:
I just read up on the specifications of the Arlo Pro and a little surprised they're only 720p. Definitely not for me then.

I've had some for a month now and they've used about 4% battery life but that also includes setting up and configuring them.

They are held onto the supplied magnetic (strong) mounts and would be easy to swipe, suppose it depends where you mount them.

720 and cloud based (free 1gig storage) is fine for me, they're not really for security as such more to watch various wildlife coming and going in the garden

So easy to setup and the app works well as does the night vision and motion detection - batteries should last for months depending on number of activations

They are, in my case, a bit of a gimmick and certainly wouldn't have paid full price for them, but at virtually half price, brand new and unopened I thought I'd give them a whirl

So far, so good

Wireless earphones & usb hub.

ElliorR · 29 Jul 2017 at 12:07

Those Bluetooth earphones are surprisingly good for the money and a great fit in the ear.

Same as me really. I don't need industrial security due to my location and my wife wanted to keep track of her guinea pigs in the garden when she is at work and I wanted to see anyone arriving at the property. Already caught a delivery driver drop kicking a box to my front door!!

Those are alright, but still too many USB ports.

My ebike is getting old & rusty so I'm getting bits in to build a new one.
Current motor is just 200 watt so this should kick arse somewhat !

Gotta save up for the battery which is nigh on double the cost of the hub !

For just over £20 they are very nice. I thought they would be cr@p but I was wrong.

lol, just about the right amount. I just need a spare power socket now to use them

Whats sort of speed can these bikes do? I was quite surprised when a mobility scooter went flying past me the other day, up a hill! Seems motor/battery tech is making some big advances.
