It was a regular for spot my mom and step dad Frank and was the first 'proper' restaurant I went to (Queensway) back in the 60s when still a nipper. I remember Frank asking for water so he could dilute a tot of wine for me to eat with my meal...I felt very grown up and the waiter congratulating...

Western Digital are stopping remote access support for some of the WD My Cloud drives this year. You can still use them as normal on your home network but won't be able access away from home so maybe worth looking out for as people will panic and start flogging them off on ebay. If you have a...

A basic NAS is a hard drive in a box you plug into your internet router. You computer (and most smart TV's) will find it in explorer and you can back up your files to it. Next step up is one with two hard drives and as you move data to one drive its also copied to the second drive...

To be honest I don't care about the anonymous data the likes of MS and Google collect because it generally helps develop the technology more and its not like they are actually tracking the real you, that said I'm also in favour of a national DNA data base, and bio/medical/DNA I.D. cards. I...

I don't bother deleting 'bloatware', I just don't use them and if your machine is half decent they don't slow it down. Programmes I use daily are pinned to the task bar and its rare I need to touch the search box. I do change my desktop image pretty much weekly, usually mountains or film...

Enjoy the family Viv, far more important than any forum.

I've got some over 100 years old and they work, the technology is so simple and 10,000 BTU/3Kw they cook well. Back on track, I've got an old AMD X4 620 PC base unit coming to me so let see if I can get W11 installed and working on this machine from about 2007 I'm told...give me something to...

Yep, your quite right. There are ways around the block if you really want to do it, I potch about with technology so installed W11 on older machines I had kicking around at home and it not hard but that was for fun on a stormy afternoon ;) My latest 'potch about' with (older) technology...

Leo, here is what I found, he is listed on the memorial at Arras, France

Windows 10 is good at providing a driver for most 'extras' you fit, certainly enough to get you up and running. What does the windows network trouble shooter say when you open it up. If its a driver issue more often than not it will tell you.

Until they drop support for W10 no, there is no major need to upgrade. If your machine is newish you can upgrade for free now, just type check for updates in the search box and you'll get a message saying if your machine is capable of running Windows 11 which is what I've done on three machines...

Happy birthday OM, 73 and good DX hi hi

If you look on ebay you can pick up an old Grundig radio for @£25 and they have pretty good speaks and the radio is quite signal sensitive.

I had a little transistor radio for my 13th birthday and took on a school camping/climbing trip and it was like a kid today walking into school with a brand new iPhone lol. Up in Snowdonia Luxembourg and Voice of America would come booming through. Still love radio today, ham radio and...

BBC radio is log in free on the BBC Sounds app for phone/computer https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds At least we're not stuck with just four TV stations these days. Britbox is pretty good, PlutoTV on the NowTV stick/phone/computer has some good content sometimes but you have to look for it...

To be honest I've been a fan of aunty beeb all my life and thought the license fee good value taking into account what the beeb offers in total, TV/radio/news/podcasts but this last couple of years its changed dramatically with its focus aimed at keeping the young/woke/snowflake/offended by...

This was popular back in the day But sad to say

If you have an Alexa device at home ask it this "Alexa what happens if you tread on a lego" You'll get an answer ;)

Our daughter posted that photo of Jacob and Gryff the dog on a family Face Book group this morning and its had 11,900 likes in 12 hours, I've had some very good responses to photo's in the past but never anything like that, we're all stunned. I spoke to Jacob on the phone and asked what he...
