You used to be able to sign up to the Windows insider program (still can I think) and you get Windows 10 pro free legally plus you get to try out all the new features before the retail updates, and all the bugs too. My spare machine has been using it since before windows 10 pro hit the shops...

Should be grateful they don't follow other countries for instance in Turkey they stick 2% on your electricity bill and also a charge on appliances. Portugal and Serbia also add a fee on to the electricity bills. In Germany it's around £180, Austria the TV tax is around £200-£300 and you pay for...

We've not had a TV licence for around 20 years, never had any hassle at all. I have no problems finding all the best TV shows to download, not that we watch much stuff. The BBC should be forced into finding a better way of being funded. ITV, Channel 4/5 etc.. do not charge you but yet you...

Quite a lot of people use a raspberry pi for emulation, including PS2, in MAME cabinets etc.. You can get LCD screens for a Pi and also cases with built in 7" LCD screens, you can also run a Pi from a battery. Not sure is you can get a case with built in LCD and also game pad, but you can use...

I'm actually getting more adverts now using this DNS than I was getting using Ublock origin, especially on sites like twitter and facebook. I did put this in my router but it seems like my router won't let me take out the ISP DNS settings. So I put this DNS in my PC instead. I have to wonder...

This seems like a good idea. Pity it doesnt block ads on youtube, this is why I use ublock origin in my browser as it block everything but allows you to whitelist sites that you want to support by turning off your blocking.

As Onedrive is built into Windows 10 I use this to share TV shows with my mother-in-law who live 30 miles away. I have a folder that is shared between us. I also use Dropbox for customers with several shared folders for comic distributions. But if you really want to use an FTP you can use...

I remember reading a story online a couple of days ago that said the US State Department raised concerns in 2018 about the safety protocols in a virology lab in Wuhan which was near the seafood market the Chinese officials said the covid-19 outbreak began. The US inspectors back in 2018 said...

Cheeky fookers. So at the moment if you don't want the BBC or live TV you don't pay the tax. But they want to charge you anyway by putting it on broadband, council tax or electricty bill even if you don't have a flipping TV. The BBC knows full well that if given the choice people would just...

I have an older AMD radion 380 that has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 display port. I have 4 Asus 1080p monitors connected, the one on the display port is using a active HDMI adapter. All 4 can have different images or you can combine them for a virtual 4k image. I also use the inbuilt graphics card for...

I'm sorry but after Nordvpn got "hacked" and then didn't tell anyone for over a year I wouldn't trust them. Not really compromised but they can't say with 100% certainty. Plus unless you have got a specific use for vpn, like IPTV, there is really no need for it. There is a good video by Tom...

On archive.org there is a collection of 7000 dos games compiled by exoDOS all compatible with Dosbox etc... You can get a torrent of it, if you want to download all 500gb of it. I just set my NAS to download it. :)

I use a Panasonic DVD Ram recorder, unlike a DVD Recorder the files it makes are digital video files and NOT VOB DVD format files. You can just copy them from the DVD Ram disc in the PC and play them without any conversion. Then you can just delete the files from the Ram disc, no need to...

We have family in the US so when we go we always get a US sim card so we can contact them. We got one for our month long Route 66 trip was £40 and that lasted 1 month from activation with unlimited data, unlimited calls to the US, unlimited texts worldwide, and 60 minutes of international calls...

My car has an android unit in it so I bought IGO about 3 years ago and have had 2 or 3 free updates every year. Wasn't too expensive from the google store. Worth the money to me so I don't have to keep cracking it or trying to find cracked maps. Also I can install it on any android device that...

I've have a cheap one that I use with my DJI Mavic quadcopter, it's quite good. Not played any games or video much though. I was thinking of getting the Playstation VR but it's quite expensive when you get all the pieces together.

Microphones that are controlled by software are easily turned on remotely. Windows 10 updates turn many things on each time they install, and also off like privacy settings. Spyware works by making things look as though they are turned off when actually they are turned on. Best just get on...

To be honest I don't know why anyone is surprised at this point. Ever since the smartphone was created back in the Windows mobile days, there has been paranoia around phone snooping and listening. The only difference these days is it's any IOT device, phones, Amazon Echo, Google alternative...

It is a possibility, but I haven't tried mine, not need to. I have 3 external slimline USB DVD writers made by Lite-on. They have a special mode for using with smart TV's. If you plug them into a pc they work as normal, but to use them with a TV, which has no drivers, you just hold the eject...

I use the shield for everything. I have my DVD's and Blu-Ray's stored as ISO files on my NAS and kodi on the shield plays them just fine. I also have use an external USB hard drive with the shield with ISO's too with no problems. I don't use discs at all these days. 99% of the stuff I watch...
