Yes true.... I never really thought about that. It doesn't affect me in any way..... just a curiosity that popped into my head.

Hi all..... I was watching a random youtube street vlogger video yesterday that raised a thought in my mind as follows.... I was of the understanding that if you took photos on the street that included people as being the subject or part of the subject, you could not use those photos for...

The thing about this subject that frustrates me most is that many citizens on the streets who would think it strange / suspicious if a stranger took a photo of a random child / children would probably enjoy / celebrate upon looking at an old photo they saw online of a so called "better time"...

I you had bought a Thinkpad again I have doubts that it wouldn't last as well as your previous one did. I may be old and cynical but I just feel that most manufacturers don't want things to last too long. It worked for my initial purposes which was to recover some files. Whether I will use...

Thanks for the reassurance gman. I'll give it a go.

Hi Ian.... I don't know how much you know about this stuff but clearly more than me and I have now extracted the hard drive and believe I need something like the following link to read it..? https://amzn.eu/d/08Ivah8n These are photos of the extracted hard drive (or so I believe)...

I'm not sure he would want to go that route, possibly due to a tablet not working quite as well as a laptop does for certain tasks (unless I'm mistaken ?) If he did want to go that route I have a three year old ipad pro 11 inch that I would maybe let him have and then maybe get a Macbook Neo...

Yes, he only really uses it for uni work and browsing. I had considered a Macbook Neo but was put off by the one I was looking at only had 8GB of ram. I'm aware that you can't directly compare ram in an Apple machine vs Windows machine but I don't really understand why so it still feels like a...

I must have been very lucky then because the Dell laptop I bought in 2011 still kind of works, albeit very slowly and needs to be plugged in so my son's failing before 4 years shocked me. Thanks for the heads up about re-using the hard drive... I don't really understand but I'll look into it.

Hi... My son's laptop has just died so I need to get him a new one pretty quickly before he goes back to uni. Given that it was less than 4 years old I won't be buying a Dell again so need to do a bit of comparing between models. When it comes to cameras there are sites that allow you to enter...

For a few years there were rumours of a Sony RX100 mark 8 which I was hoping (although not expecting) might arrive with a specific upgrade of a fully articulating screen instead of just the flip out screen. I also unrealistically wished for weather sealing as the cherry on the cake.

Hello from not too far away... I'm in Leeds

I don't think it's morbid at all, I have had this discussion with a particular friend of mine many times over the years (going back to when we were in our early 20's).... I have discussed this with a particular friend of mine several times and we both used to say that we would have "The...

I was born there and lived there until my mid 20's. My Dad still lives there so I still visit, but I moved to Leeds and have been living there for the last 25+ years.

If I remember correctly, my Mum's funeral in 2004 was about £3,000 to £3,500. Incidentally, it was at the same crematorium as the above bill.
