      I think the add is supplied by ebay based on the cookies on your machine.  That means it will show you something you have recently browsed in the hope you will remember you were about to buy it.
      Usually it just shows me something I’ve already bought or was researching for some u related reasin.

      They really should just have a simple Database that show related item (e.g. camera browsers should be show sd cards etc).

        I’m not particularly interested in the figures, I just wondered why people watched an episode out of the blue.

        Robin probably explains it – it’s not that extra people are watching but that the viewers are going out of their way to watch the episode on the day of release, perhaps because of a good trailer or perhaps even a cancelled show or sport on another channel.

          For most people I suspect not worth retrofitting but for reliability and speed (1-10Gbps) you need wired.  Like Dave said, just enough cables to get decent placement of routers and access points and perhaps a cable where the ‘office’ is likely to be.

            I have radiators in the centre of my house and it is dreadfull.  You can feel one side of your gody roasting while the other feels the cold like it radiates from the walls.  I get damp at the windows and on the walls.

            I’m in the process of moving them all under windows on exterior walls.

              The photo search is awsome on google photos.  Not 100% but at least 50% accurate, search your own images for objects or places etc.  Really handy.

                I always thought bigger was better but that isn’t always the case.  My boiler is too big for the house (well, radiators anyway) and it often turns off every 10 mins because the return feed is too hot, i.e. tge boiler is too powerfull or radiators are rubbish.

                  I recently saw my friend’s 34″ ultrawide screen and it was noticeably not as high as my normal 28″ widescreen.

                  I suspect the 1440 on his display is similar to 1440 on a normal 25″ so I’d class it as the edge of ok.

                  A 1440 25″ ultrawide would be tiny.

                  P.S. and I didn’t like the curve, thought I would but would prefer not to have one.

                    I’ve been paying a few months now via paypal.  Has always come through as £1.59 for the 100GB (+15GB email)

                    The website says “Your monthly subscription will automatically renew 2/27/17 and you’ll be charged £1.59 + tax”.  Can’t say I’ve noticed any VAT so far?

                      Check the page where you bought it again.  iirc sometimes you have to try the key twice or activete it by phone – just type a number in and all is well.

                          Yeah, I got my last keys from play-asia.com and not had any problems.  I think MS’s business model has changed, they want more people using the OS and using their online store for subscriptions and upgrades.

                            Or just buy an Nvidia card with Shadowplay.  considering changing my old GTX580s for this very reason so my kids can start youtubing a bit more easily.

                              I stand by my ‘sandbox’ statement.  Trumps aids told him “Yes Mr President, you have the biggest crowds” but their sandbox didn’t expect him to broadcast it in a childish manner.  Soon they will edit his broadcasts before they go public and tell him “Yes Mr President, they all saw your broadcast and agree with you”.  Then the sandbox will be complete.

                                      Someone was asking me for advice on building a system for photo/image editing.  Her budget of £800 is good but difficult.  You could spend that alone on a decent screen.  My advice is to buy a quality screen and a basic PC with a TB hard drive and Windows licence.

                                      Then (and my point is) add a 120GB SSD for the O/S yourself, upgrade the components over time until you have a decent system and then keep it up to date.  That is the point of building your own system, upgrading and not trying to save a few quid.

                                        Yep, it’s gone.  When your website gets a page request you get a referal url which is the address of the page than sent you here.  A little bit of script could take advantage of that and display a message accordingly.
