This sounds like he wants to drive a USB printer from a parallel port on the PC?
Not sure why anyone would want to do that!
Nolan, I thought you may want 4K, that’s why I thought something similar rather than mine. It was more the concept than the specific.
VFM That Rollei takes me back, I’ve always like small cameras for the same reason as you. Which why I wanted Nolan to look at the camera bag in your pocket idea.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ80 is the updated model of mine with a 30x zoom and 4K video. IIRC the reason I got mine over that was a flash sale and not being worried about 4K.
I would really recommend going to a camera shop and get your hands on one. The down side of small cameras is small controls, but even my fat fingers have no issues with the Lumix. Cardiff Jessops have a TZ80 in stock for the same price as Amazon.
I promise I’m not trying to push you at a specific item, but having come from the SLR world (a long time ago before kids) through a bridge camera to the shirt pocket sized job, the only thing I miss is a big flash and you will have that issue with the Lumix DX800.
I given up trying to make sense of the world at the moment. I even found myself agreeing with Piers Morgan this morning when he said to Stephen Doughty and Mark Francois:
“What about all the lies Remain told. Why pick on the lies of Leave? You all lied, all of you. Now you have managed between you to completely cock it up as well. So you all lied to us, then you cocked up negotiations, and then you left the country in a shambles. Thank you very much indeed, on behalf of your parties.”
I may have to change my avatar ?
Perhaps that was it? A pig flew over the City?
Go for it.
I have the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ70EB-K which is the same size. It has a built in 24 – 270mm lens with a five-axis anti-shake system review and all the programs and manual etc.
I wonder if you be better off with something similar rather than the interchangeable lens world. I literally have a camera bag in my shirt pocket. I don’t miss that camera bag at all! ?
As Ed says it does sound like the file system screwing up. SSDs don’t suffer from the physical problems that spinners do, like bad sectors or failing bearings, head crashes etc. that cause “local” problems in certain areas. But like spinners when the electronics fail they die totally.
If the SSD can be partitioned or formatted it’s physically OK. I think I still have your address on the workshop PC, I’ll send you a bootable USB with EaseUs Partition Master on it, it may give you some insights. It’s based on WinPe but goes straight into the app… eventually ?
I must admit that in my recent return to Linux (mostly servers with no GUI) I’ve more or less settled on Ubuntu as that has the best support. I know the default desktop is a bit naff but it’s just a means to an end – launching apps. It’s being able to get answers to problems and How To’s that work that’s swung it.
Yep, when they go they go good and proper. The very first Corsair Nova 60GB I bought has just failed, probably 5 years old? At the same time a 2 / 3 year old Toshiba 240GB went west but apart from that they are all still going.
Last month I inherited a 10 year old 1TB WD Green from an HP PC a customer was scrapping for a new Ryzen. It has been in use probably every day. I put it through all the WD tests and had EaseUs Partition manager do a bad sector check. 5 hours later not one in sight!
I remember him. He would have left for Liverpool just before I went to my first Rovers match as a 11 yo kid.
Rovers have a long tradition of bringing on local kids and selling them on, Ian Holloway probably being the most famous. His f-i-l was in the bike club I used to run.
Scratch this one! I’ve just found out that a public DNS server is a bad idea as it can be used in amplification attacks. So it’s off. However the VPN one is OK security wise.
Sounds about right for the trendy parts of Bristol around the old docks and Clifton (where the suspension bridge is). However most of it isn’t like that!
We did have some students renting next door so most weekends it did smell like Amsterdam though. But they didn’t have red trousers and as they went to the University of the West of England (Bristol Poly as was) wouldn’t be public schoolboys.
At the youth housing charity the support workers have to sometimes show the kids something on their screen. I got them these gas powered monitor arms for £30 (their idea). It enables them to flip the monitor through 180° to face the person sat opposite from them and flip it back again. Only light finger pressure is needed.
Balancing them is easy, there’s a screw hole in the “elbow” allowing you to loosen or tighten the tension. Once the monitor is balanced flipping it doesn’t send it dancing up and down. The cables are hidden behind shrouds so it looks neat too.
JCD, if he makes the icons OK for his screen they will be too small for the other screen.
The answer is a £68 AOC monitor from Amazon for the other monitor. I’ve bought a few of these recently.
You could try making the smaller screen the primary and cloning that then seeing if your monitor will upscale it.
It will still be 1280 x 1024 so the icons etc will be a bit big ?
A clone is a clone i.e. they both have to be the same resolution. If you think about it it has to be.
Not an answer but over the summer 2 of my kids went from Hungary in a big southwards circle ending in Brasov Romania, my son has friends there. They had a fantastic time in the ex Soviet states everywhere but Serbia.
Memories go back a long time, look at Ireland and what they still march about. It gets forgotten what the actual reason was and if it’s still relevant, just the hatred remains. Of course if it was WWII then there will be those that were there still alive.
Could be dyspraxia, Jack holds a pen in a very weird way and even then can’t do for long. That’s some sort of the body won’t do what the brain says. His sense of balance is crap too but he can ride a bike for miles, it’s his main mode of transport.
Tippon, Ubuntu comes in many flavours of desktop manager https://itsfoss.com/which-ubuntu-install/ Xubuntu is Studio without the media apps.
Xfce is also the default desktop of Manjaro which you can run from a usb drive. It’s based on Arch and is #1 at DistroWatch.
Personally, most of my Linux is now virtual servers in the cloud but I do keep an Ubuntu virtual desktop going. I know what you mean about the new interface.
My hand writing was great as a kid, now it’s a mess. I haven’t got any thicker (apart from the waist). My son is doing a PhD and it’s just as well he’s using a computer. In his case it’s dyspraxia, in mine it’s lack of practice.
I’m not sure hand writing tells you anything and I’ve met people with multiple degrees who you wouldn’t trust to cross the road on their own.
Unfortunately I think they have no choice, Joe Public does need herding into setting security. Kaspersky objects to WiFi SSIDs left on default, like Netgear50, which is ridiculous.
I will not now use any ISP that doesn’t let me use my own kit, like Sky. Last year I had to swap out 6 BT “Smart” Hubs, 4 of them in small businesses which now have Drayteks (the home users have TP-Link TD-W9970). My own TalkTalk router went TU and that’s now replaced by a Draytek.
What you mean like Trump? Make sure something else less damaging to you personally is the story of the day even if it still isn’t exactly edifying or risks world peace. Corbyn seems to have learned how to do the opposite.
