    Any Ring camera experts around?

    Yes. That's just one of the ways ring could fix this. That would take more power of course.

    Any Ring camera experts around?

    Just checked and it's 65. That seems bad.

    Ah that sort of fits the pattern. Makes them a bit useless though.....

    Deal or No Deal

    My local has a deal on Wednesdays: pizza and a pint for a tenner. The beer is a choice of any of their locally brewed craft ales, lagers. ciders (they have 10 on tap at all times). Since we get a lot of tourists and they are almost on the beach, a pint of DFL costs an eye watering £6 on its own...

    Any Ring camera experts around?

    Our neighbour reported some weird goings on the other night in our road so I took this as an excuse to buy a Ring camera :) Played with it at the weekend and it seems great however I have a weird issue with it. It only detects people leaving the property not arriving. More detail..... Camera...

    Microwave died 2 weeks after warranty expired - any recourse?

    I hope so too, but my experience is their service in this respect is nowhere near as good as it used to be. I had a problem with my Oculus Quest so I followed the instructions from Oculus / FB on how to trouble shoot. This process takes literally days (you need to cycle the batteries a couple...

    I finally found a use for cruise control.

    Now try driving in London - 20 mph adaptive cruise with creep turned off. Unless you are first at the lights you only need to steer. Kev could also do that but I like to do something to keep me awake.

    Windows Co-pilot?

    So.....there are (at least) 3 different things called CoPilot..... 1. Copilot for Bing (this is increasingly being called Copilot for Windows). I use this for very specific searches. "I study Chinese brush calligraphy and want a brush made without animal products. I'll be in Kyoto soon -...

    New Electric Cables.

    I don't know about where you live, but here in the sunny breezy south east, we generate so much power that for an average of about 4 hours a week, the cheapest thing to do is for octopus to give it away free. That's 80+ miles of motoring, house batteries charged and washing done for the week.

    New Electric Cables.

    Ok, this is rumour control: this is all "somewhat alarmist" and in general not true. (There are special cases of antique wiring, looped supply etc). A Tesla will charge just fine on domestic supply. 7kw charging point can be installed on the vast majority of systems and it will charge as fast...

    Windows Co-pilot?

    Yeah, I was involved in a pre release trial and now use it every day. Wait, which copilot? There are several.... What you up to?

    Any Electric DIY hobby folk out there , need help on testing usb current

    I'm not entirely sure what you're up to, but these are fun. https://www.amazon.co.uk/charging-Display-compatible-MacBook-transfer/dp/B0C54HYX9M/ It shows how my devices ramp down power draw as they get fuller.

    Money thoughts …

    There have been some fairly recent changes to make the process easier. It should be a single instruction to the new bank - my friend who did this reported that for her, it really was that easy. All regular transactions got moved over including incoming. You can read about the process (CASS)...

    Money thoughts …

    This. Once a year, go through all DDs and cancel everything you don't need. Once a quarter, review any savings (and especially loans) and see if they need moving. Inertia costs you a lot of money. A friend has made £600 this year just from moving her bank account a number of times. 3 hours or...
