ok I really appreciate your responses...and they all seem to have their own pros and cons... problem with MSFS is that it is expensive and huge again, but if I run into the same problem as DCS then I will have bought something I won't really enjoy. I was rather hoping that someone would say...

Hi experts.. I have just upgraded my long overdue laptop, and now with windows 11 and quite a good spec, I thought I would try and get back into a flight simulator. So after watching a few reviews and videos, I downloaded the much acclaimed DCS, which took most of my hard disk space, and found...

cool, so these individual ports are more than 10Mb/s speeds?

So firstly I am testing internet speeds directly from the devices connected to the ports.. secondly, by mb/s I do mean Megabits per second. Each device connected has the same result, and as soon as I disconnect the device, to default to wifi, the retest more than doubles in speed. So the port...

ok say £30 - £70, I am more interested in the port speeds being faster than 10mb/s. My internet speed is around 60-70mb/s, so 10mb/s on a wired port connection is lousy. Everything I look at has the same selling tactic, 10/100/1000 switch, without actually saying what the actual ports speeds...

Hi all, I thought I was well up on this, being a network support engineer, but in trying to improve my network at home, I bought a small 8 port hub, in an effort to improve speeds over wifi. Expecting faster speeds than troubled wifi, I assumed the ports speeds, would be far better, but it...

so my mobile phone was quite happily paired and connected to my x6 tws bluetooth speaker, but now the speaker doesn't list as an available device. The speaker pairs to other devices straight away. From my PC and other mobiles, lists and connects immediately it is switched on, but still does not...

Hi, thanks for the advice. I downloaded the app to my phone, and when android auto was next connected, the app appeared in the menu, and worked perfectly.

which station is it?

never thought of that...I'll give it a try thanks

I have a problem in that I have a long term hire car, as part of my deal/package with my job. The problem is that out of all the hire cars I have had, which are changed every few months, this is the worst for radio reception. I prefer to listen to a particular radio station on my way to work...

Hi, I have a Lenovo G70 laptop, (has no usb-C connection). The laptop is brilliant, but I want to extend it's use, to use with a docking station, to drive 2 screens and keyboard and mouse. I also work from home regularly with a work Dell laptop, which has a usb-C port. What I would like to do...

hi, I have recently bought a 3D printer, but my everyday PC is in another room. I want to drive my 3D printer locally, but at present have to keep removing the micro SD card, creating the file and exporting it to the card, and then walking between rooms. I have a very old Advent PC in a...

Thanks for the info Started a Python course, so hopefully this will help Chris

Not sure if this comes within the remit for this forum, but I guess they are computer controlled these days, so there may be an expert out there. I have a very old central heating system, where my existing controller controls the central heating and hot water via 2 motorised valves. I want to...
