My existing doorbell was wired so powering the ring was easy enough with a new transformer replacing the inside bell, but the main reason I went with ring was to integrate it to other smart systems. I usually wear headphones or have music on so listening to Alexa mutter there's someone at the...

The 2 M2 slots are the latest connectors for NVME hard drives, basically look like sticks of ram but have incredibly fast read/write rates (typically up to 7x faster than a SSD) because they connect directly to the PCIE bus the same way the graphics card does. Depending on your case and...

Did you have bluetooth on? A lot of venues have beacons which is used for analytics tracking, this is why android phones will often have google ask you to leave a review of a site if you've been somewhere recently and you write reviews, your phone has detected the beacon and tracked where you've...

It's not always in error, depending on how some O2 business accounts are set up when changing user information it might send out the one time code to the number originally set up on the account. We had this issue when trying to remove a user who wanted to PAC their number but the account...

If it's only a basic setup (no logins etc for wired connection) it could be as simple as buying a cable wireless router as MrMackyB has suggested (has a WAN port, no modem) and connecting that to the wired connection, then you'll get a handful of wired ports plus your own wireless network. This...

I know it's "scope creep" but replacing the SSD hard drive with a M.2 NVMe SSD in the specification will see further performance gains, especially when working on photo catalogues, opening, saving and live previews. The cheapest one isn't great for a NVMe drive, but at £10 more it more than...

Shell are a nightmare, my app still says I'm switching to them after 9 months. I gave up supplying meter readings because they were often rejected (no heating on in summer so why would I be using gas?) and they seemed fine making up bills as they went along. Account was in credit from another...

Sometimes it's the same seller but they use Amazon for fulfilment, if you're passing a lot of goods through Amazon or based internationally (like a lot of sellers) it's often more efficient and cheaper to have Amazon manage your fulfilment for all of your orders regardless of what marketplace...

Managed to get hold of one through a pre-order loophole, arrived on launch day. My first serious console since the Dreamcast (still in use) so the step up in graphics in 4k is still sinking in. Subscribed to gamepass ultimate for 3 years which should keep me occupied for a while.

I've had the complete opposite issue recently, I've applied to 3 different colleges for different courses and none of the courses were started either because the staff member left before the start of term or not enough numbers for the college to justify running the course. We recently looked at...

I'd have a chat with both and see what they can offer, both have UK sales and StablePoint is run by the people who first started Vida/TSO before being bought out so they might have something custom they could offer and support.

You could look at Krystal, they do a package for £99 a year which could be switched to using a cpanel migration if that's what you're already using on TSO. They claim unlimited web storage on that package for all related website content which yours would be, but you're potentially moving between...

No longer feel like I'm sitting on someone else's lap when eating out or having to cuddle a stranger at the cinema. Work colleagues are now far enough away they no longer perch on my desk when they want something, but still close enough I can throw things at them. Still idiots everywhere but now...

Every monitor I've ordered online has always come in its own branded box with an address label on, same with laptops. I've probably had one box with a corner dent where it's been dropped and one where it looks like it's had something dropped on it but I've not had any concerns with packaging...

This has screwed over so many people. If a company had furloughed half it's workforce but kept the other half on, if they now need to make people redundant due to workload they're going to let the ones who worked through the lockdown off instead of the ones they were funded to retain to keep the...
