I don’t know if I’m getting old or what, but I just can’t get excited for consoles anymore. If we didn’t have the kids, this latest gen would of been the first since the saga masters system I wouldn’t of bought.
This time round, we didn’t e en bother with the Xbox one. Last time round we bought a hat full of 360s and two ps3s, this time it’s just a ps4 v1, I played on it one night to test it all worked, wasn’t that impressed, but back then it lacked many of the media od the ps3 had. It was about then I realised, the ps3 solely functioned as a media portal for me for many years. It’s last year I did get gta5, first game for me, in probably 3 years.
Didn’t event get that far, deciding instead to wait (2 years) for the pc version.
Ive not even looked at the new ps4 pro /slim, or the latest small Xbox, and looked into the incoming Xbox pro. Though no 4k tvs here, so I can’t see the need to rush out and replace the gen 1 ps4.
Sounds like you have bigger issues than just the hum, so this is likely a wasted post. But for thoughs that have have an Audible hum a ground loop isolator will sort it. I’ve got this one for my cars “unsolvable” issue. Worked a charm.

Ive tried and tried to stick with waze, but I always return to google nav. I’m not sure what it is.
Google maps scrapes all the user generated trafic info from waze so your getting all that in g nav just you don’t get to input data. I find g nav give you the best info in the best timely manner over waze. Waze lakes telling you what lane to be in on large junction turn offs and round abouts. Normally this isn’t an issue, but going to foreign towns/cities this becomes an issue.
Google nav is good at changing your route mid journey if there is trafic, as is waze, but I’ve found going to busy places like football games or leaving theme parks, as everyone is using Google nav (and waze same engine) all the routes it offers get busy. So my top tip is use Here Maps on these days, it gives you the most Wacky routes but does miss the trafic. I’d rather go a longer route and keep moving than sat in traffic.
I actually like being taken the obscure ways to palaces, as id never of gone that way so would never of seen the paces. I remember Here taking me through loads of great countryside to Alton towers once, I knew the way (been loads) , but wanted to avoid the traffic, and the journey was great. I’d of never picked the route off a map, to complicating, but neither did anyone else, so it was plain sailing all the way in and out. Probably added 20 mins to the boring motorway journey, but saved a good hour of trafic on a busy August morning and evening.
I’d agree about the sensors if i didn’t own the car I own. It’s shaped in such a way you just cant see or even judge the rear of the car, and its lack of Windows (being a Coupe) doent help, also the front falls away, so even judging the font corners is half.
The window thing is weird as I’ve dropped e vans, my first car was an escort van, and had no issues, but older cars was more square, so judging corners etc was easy. My current car is impossible.
Also i think my reverse light is a birthday cake candle, it is trully usless, I have to ride the break to illuminate behind me.
I just drove back from Liverpool 50miles while the fuel light was on, got home and fueled up at tesco. I put in 56.52 litres, the tanks capacity is 56 litres. One was riding his luck.
Your looking pleased with yourself their Bob. Glad it worked out for you you.
I have a theory the smaller (even though Hyundai is huge) the sellers, the more they will do to get your custom.
Hyundai own their own steel, so they have more high strength steel than any other Oem, they are great cars, and over the last 5 years, they have really started to break into the higher end of the market. The Koreans are coming for the likes of GM and VAG.
This is an ethical mind f+*k
It’s bad, but could be ultimately be a good thing. Maybe? I really don’t know how I feel about it.
Probably won’t change a thing… But it may.
If he logged into his windows machine with a Microsoft email address (live /hotmail/Outlook) then it’s very simple. Once the pc is working install win 10 and as soon as he logs in with the same Microsoft account it will automatically re register.
I wouldn’t bother with win 7, and just use the ms win ten creator tool to install 10, it will be almost upto date so no kind updates etc.
Win7 wouldn’t register now, or it shouldn’t, it may well do, no one quite knows how ms police this. But just go straight to 10.
I’m more of a Swingles Keyboard classics or Electronica type of person, but Music is like Brexit – most people have their own firmly held views. Music takes many forms and can even provide a suitable accompaniment for political events!
If we’re comparing music to brexit, then I’m on the out side. I just have no time for music of any description. I find it a waste of time. Rather have a book playing in the background, or a podcast of some description.
Being an ex Marine I’m all for finely tuned outfits. but I can see trouble ahead, if the EU is to collapse. ?
They seem to be a very popular car, I have two in my street, both on the Motability and both love them. They have the sat nav spec level, which I think is the second tier up.
Both silver, I like yours in red bob better. Silver is good if your owning the car, as it’s the easiest colour to sell, bit red isn’t far behind silver I think. But silver is a bit boring.
Glad the wife likes it, it’s a big bus, hope it had reverse sensors or camera. Personally I prefer sensors over a camera. The blind spots on the gtc are that big, front and back, with out sensors, it would be almost impossible to manager in tight spaces.
My next car will be Matt grey, if I get the Octavia Vrs, but me and the duchess have been looking at the rav4 hybrid, totally different car to the Octavia. But the rav4 hybrid had a non turbo 2.5l petrol unit with 2 electric motors, and gives the power and mpg of a diesel. Real world 44mpg combined, which is great for a proper 4×4 of its size.
I quite like how ones it is too, I hate Cheese tractor 4x4s, I don’t really need a 4×4, and would usually avoid a true 4×4, and get the 2wd version, but in the case of the hybrid and the way the 4×4 works, actually it’s AWD not 4×4, it doesn’t hurt the milage, and the grip is nice for our area and caravan pulling.
Though the new 245bhp Octavia vrs will likely win, just because inside I’m still 12. Well not quite as at 12 skoda wad a laughing stock, but you get what I mean.
Anyhow bob loving that your liking the new bus. Now you have a smart phone install fueio and take your milage. I’ll link it below
My car is reporting I’m now doing 38mpg on average, but when I track with the app, it turns out my car over the last 3 months has gotten 32mpg! It’s like 1980 all over again! The skoda will get about 26mpg so can’t wait for that!
Just finished SAS rouge heros by Ben Macintyer this morning and then smashed D-day through a Germans eyes by Holger Eckhertz, while at the football tonight, and travelling.
Both books a fantastic. The second one much shorter At around 5h, but a great book from eyes of the losers. Not usually a point of view you get to hear, given its always the victory that get to curate history.
Should we wrap this thread up now? It’s been done to death a year ago. the only thing that came of it was bad feelings and a dip in traffic for a month of so.
There is far more bad news reports than good, so you can only believe the bad reports.
The whole thing is a joke. These jets, our new ships, the whole state of the armed forces is a mess. The troops currently employed are at an all time low, few believe I’m what they are fighting for (or was).
And it looks like we are going to need a bigger, stronger armed forces in the future. If the EU is to fail, some bad news today, the bickering between states will soon follow.
Good morning lol.
I didn’t do it, but I suspect the word ‘physical’ I used wrong. The guest network, doesn’t allow connected devices to see each other or the main network. The main network is a virtual walled garden. The guest network only gets access to the Internet.
I actually have 2 guest networks, one i demo iot crap on and the kids, which has a proper pw, Plus another that friends and fambo can use with pw 1234. Neither of them 2 guest networks can see my network. Also the guest network don’t get access to the Routers home admin page.
But I’m sure with enough time and effort one could breach the other, but I’m hardy concerned by this, given I can demonstrate I’ve not been careless and taken reasonable steps to protect my data. Someone would really want to get in to my network.
Even if it was breached I hold little work data on my network, it’s all backed x up to usb drives and pens, and only connected when needed.
The most anyone could get is my dvd collection, and a handful of “grey downloads”. So I really don’t care that much.
But physical was the wrong choice of words, is virtual. But I thought it a better way to explain the diffence of the two, to someone that hasn’t played with their guest networks options. As you know there are ways to run two physical networks, but unlike you I lack the knowledge, not to originally set it up, but rather in 6 months to trouble shoot and fix the inevitable hick ups. That is what prevents me from going all in. A simple virtual setup is sufficient for me.
You can password a guest account and it will stop Windows saying it’s untrusted, but the router still won’t give it access to your main network.
Its just an Internet access point. Windows just says it’s untrusted as it’s not password protected, so it’s letting you know anyone could be potentially snooping on you. Once you put a password on its fine.
I have a very basic and easy to break password, just so I can say to friends, it’s 1234, (which it is), but this is an improvement to the no password I had on my gest network for years. Im not to bothered about anyone being on that network. Where I live, there is 6 houses in reach of my wifi signal, all occupied by over 70 years old.
I put the stuff i don’t trust on a separate guest network that has no physical connection to my private network.
However this is starting to become harder, when the iot in question, needs you to have access to it, (lights for example) ad if you put them on a guest network, you need to swap networks to turn a bulb on. This isn’t ideal.
My bulbs get round this, by connecting to an external server, but this brings up probably more threats overall, than it fixes. But atheist keeps them off your network. Bit im my case I’m trusting a Singapore server to turn my lights on/off.
If there is a hidden mic in there I’d never know. But I’m sure someone out there had ripped apart the Yii lights to look.
But keeping things off your personal network is only going to get harder as the devices become “smart”.
I always used to carry a spare tube, couldn’t be doing with road side repairs.
I’m going to take control of all the tvs when X factor is on, get them to call my premium rate number when voting. :yahoo:
It’s funny as immigration will likely rise.
A large potion of the voters was under the impression that the Indians, Iraq and Syrians would be stopped. I don’t think they realise no of them countries are in the EU.
Anyhow, i see the Spanish want to use a Scotland veto as negotiation tool to get us to give them control of Gib. Ie give us gib and we will veto Scotlands re entry into the EU, making them more likely to say in G Britain.
Not a fan of Ms skydive tbh, but surly this is user error. By fix ms mean we will make it more ‘thick proof’.
I don’t see how it’s MS’s issue to clear up after user errors. If you post 100of Ks of files through the post, the Royal mail surly wouldn’t have to make a statement regarding how it will “fix” the issue.
Seems like just another hit piece on clouds.
The beeb, being a public service, really should of linked off this story, (written it better first), to a safe practices page, maybe some limited, short and simple tutorials about the he doos and don’t of each platform. For the average man to ponder over.
That way 1. Some future mistakes could be avoided, and 2, the average Joe that reads this, just gets out of this, ‘cloud is bad, stay away’. When it’s far from bad, when used responsibly Its a great great service to have on hand.
It’s a hit piece.
