Starting (or ending) at The George? Not been there for a while.

[Dave Rice]

Exactly.

I now can’t work out who’s a rebel Tory and who’s not the policy shifts so quickly. It’s time Jacob Rees Mogg, Boris, Gove etc. went on TV and spelled out what no deal will mean. And I don’t mean trade and WTO rules, which is all they bang on about, it’s everything else.

[Dave Rice]

Less heat than that I’d think. The latest motherboard I used has one sat under the main graphics slot and it’s designed for uber gaming.

[Dave Rice]

No you don’t, but it’s not rocket science to set up your own on a PC (or Pi) once you have your head around it. The beauty is you have 3 years to look at it or just pay £1 a month after that.

[Dave Rice]

That is the best place for an AP (on the ceiling below the loft though). For 300Mbps N I use these and for not much more you can get 1200Mbps AC

You need to run an Ethernet cable to them but that could end up in a Homeplug. If you get them from the link they will set them up for free with a cloud controller, all you do is put them up. If you find you need two (or more) they will automatically work together to provide a single roaming network. There are even external versions so you can barbecue and browse at the same time.

That’s why they can seem tricky to set up at first. The SSIDs and security etc belong to a site, not the AP. The APs are assigned to a site where their job is to distribute those SSIDs. This is very different to the consumer world where you assign SSIDs and security to an AP and then expect APs to work together when they are in fact self contained.

The cloud “controller” just sets them up and collects usage data. Once the APs are assigned they will work together without the controller until the crack of doom.

I was working at CSC when the NHS project failed and CSC got the blame. The Govt put up many different heads that rotate around and are usually looking at it as a stepping stone, not to see the project through. Goal posts change regularly and are never well defined. Politics is rife.

Look at the mess Universal Credit is becoming. Every knee jerk change in policy has to somehow flow through and quickly to the back end.

[Dave Rice]

Yep, it needs that sort of price. Or separation of wireless from router.

SAP professionals don’t come cheap.

Yet still you invoke jingoism and result to insults. Because your comment was incredibly insulting. How dare you imply that people who hold opposite views to yourself are some how guilty of some sort of moral cowardice. Yet this is typical of the way that I find leavers of a certain age and gender end up going. The situation we face today is in no way comparable to any of the historical events you mention.

Come here to North Bristol (or North Wales) and stand outside the Airbus gates and explain how your bold vision is going to improve their lives. Then go down the road to the small engineering workshops that provide them with parts and do the same.

Never mind boys, you can vote out your MP if we get it wrong. Ah no you can’t. It’s the same safe seat Dave lives in…

[Dave Rice]

It depends what you want. £40 won’t get you 5Ghz AC for example.

[Dave Rice]

I cannot vote out my MP, nor any of the civil servants who run the country and my local council.

I see you have invoked Godwins Law, it was only a matter of time.

[Dave Rice]

Neither do we want a cast adrift go it alone country with a weak government not even capable of agreeing with themselves having to bend the knee to the likes of Trump.

[Dave Rice]

I cannot see how the Tories can do anything other than dump us out with a disastrous no deal. They are holding each other up to ransom.

Whatever happens Jacob Rees Mogg will still be rich and his kids will all go to Eton.

[Dave Rice]

I swear by Draytek routers but they aren’t cheap. They have bullet proof reliability and loads of features I like for business, like dial in VPN.

Having said that, just been looking and the sub £40 TP-Link TD-W9970 I put in for my cousin after their BT Hub did it’s disappearing act. Its been up since the day I installed it in early May providing 80 down 20 up and a WiFi guest network for their 3 storey Victorian B&B.

[Dave Rice]

TBH a Chromebook will probably do all she wants, until she takes it on the holiday she’s booked!

[Dave Rice]

What “democracy” do I, and the millions like me, have living in a safe seat constituency?

As much as I disagree with their politics, how can UKIP have had 13% (3.8 million) of the popular vote and no representation? (reverse that for the SNP).

Would you vote to leave a system as clearly undemocratic and biased as that? Or would you give the beneficiaries even more power?

All political systems suck.

[Dave Rice]

Have to agree with the refurbished idea, I have bought several over the last 3 / 4 years including my own Thinkpad.

Personally I would stick to Lenovo Thinkpads or HP Elitebooks and I’ve used Micro Dream quite a lot.

The Elitebooks look fantastic with their mag alloy chassis, even my picky 19 yo daughter likes hers, and with an i5 and SSD they fly. £299 gets you a Grade A 8470p 14.1″  i5 8GB 240GB SSD DVD USB 3.0 WiFi W10 Pro 64 http://tinyurl.com/yag5svpx

Or they have the sameish spec (-DVD) but in the 840 Ultrabook chassis for the same money http://tinyurl.com/yc34fkgd

Save on laptops deal of the week looks good – £399 Lenovo IdeaPad 520s i5-7200U (2.5 – 3.1Ghz), 14″ Full HD IPS Screen
W10 Home 64, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB M.2 SSD, USB3 | HDMI | Bluetooth http://tinyurl.com/yc82bwrn

£326 Lenovo V110, i3-6006U 2Ghz, 15.6″ HD Screen, W10 Home 64, 4GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB SSD, DVD Rewriter http://tinyurl.com/yaospr5s I have bought several V110s, the build quality is good and they can be upgraded without too much hassle.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>She can’t come down on one side or the other as both are able to hold her to ransom. The snap election was meant to sort that out. Continual misreading of the situation by successive Tory leaders. These are supposed to be the safe hands responsible party. Pah!</p>

[Dave Rice]

Factually correct, but we’re the first ‘big’ one. Greenland took years. I was wrong about not hearing brexit here. News feeds on the trams had all about the resignations.
