Cool! and I swapped the Dell Hub/Station for another one I had kicking about and the lag with peripherals when attached to the laptop in exactly the same way is all gone. So even though I had tested the Dell thing on my GiantPC and it seemed to work fine, perhaps I was just lucky. Happy again now with Stream Deck doing what it should!

Sunday 9th July - The Close Knit Community of Threads
With Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon Join us on Mewe RSS Link: https://techaddicts.libsyn.com/rss iTunes | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Tunein | Spotify  Amazon | Pocket Casts | Castbox | PodHubUK Feedback, Fallout and Contributions Phillip Deackes Hi Gareth. I started my NAS journey some years ago. I use it extensively and most of my services run in Docker. I suggest you look at Nextcloud rather than using the built-in Synology services. Nextcloud is open source and free to use. It provides a cloud file service like Google Drive but also hosts your contacts and calendars which can then be synced through CalDAV and CardDAV to ask your other devices like phone, tablet, computers etc.. If you set up OnlyOffice you can edit and create MS compatible documents through a web browser, again on any device. There are many apps you can install from with Nextcloud too.. https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-nextcloud-on-your-synology-nas/ Marius has lots of tutorials for installing all manner of things on a Synology NAS. If you need any more help or advice please get in touch! Ian Barton on BackupPC: Open Source Backup to disk This is very useful for backing up your data to other computers/servers locally. It can also backup to servers that are accessible remotely. I backup my important data from my main computer to a couple of local servers. You can configure it to keep incremental backups, so you can roll back to an earlier version of documents/spreadsheets/etc. It's compatible with most operating systems. Since the system is so flexible it does take some time to configure and requires tinkering with the Apache web server setup. Since my complaint of referencing “the phone show”, I feel that every show there is a mention of or comment when phones are discussed. Just to make me feel more apologetic could you make reference to “Mr Wilmot”, (the old top gear), that way I will know when you’re ridiculing me even further! Keep up the good work, love all the shows / podcasts but this is my favourite one by far! Regards Paul Hardline on the hardware The Price of a Pixel Fold on Contract - The BEST deals!

It didn’t go well Scott Brady - In 1982, I'd say the Commodore line (VIC, C64) was popular in the US. Data storage on cassette tapes! 😄 Adrian Brain - If you think the Apple/Android rivalry is bad now, the Spectrum/Commodore divide was brutal in the 1980s UK. Chad Dixon - I had one. After the Sinclair ZX81, this seemed like such a jump in hardware. Jeremy Harpham - I think the spectrum was called the Timex 1000 in the US. Limited quantities reduced sales volumes so couldn't compete with the commodores Troy Dyall - I had the 128k with built in tape deck. What a time to be alive! Used to go to Woolworths on Saturday and buy a game for £1.99 with some of my pocket money Irfan Ali - I used to also religiously collect C & VG as well as Crash magazine. I have the 48k version in the loft with a load of original games on cassettes, also have the printer and Kempston joystick interface Kris Jary - The ZX Spectrum also stored data on cassette. Fond memories of putting the cassette tape of my game of choice into the separate cassette player, pressing play, then waiting for what seemed like several minutes for the game to load. All while listening to the delightful screeching sound of it reading the data! Or borrowing one of the many game programming books from the library, and spending hours proudly typing all the code to create the actual game.

They Actually Cost More to Run Comments from various members of our MeWe Group… Batteries are an environmental disaster waiting to happen - they are likely to need replacing ⅔ times during the life of the car. Emissions caused by the manufacturing process makes it worse for the planet. Is Hydrogen a better eco-solution? It’s heavy and needs robust storage arrangements. Did we know that there’s 20% VAT on Public Charging (but only 5% at home)? General opinion is that we’re going the right way, but much work needed still. -------------------- Mike Shwartz on the Audio Pro Addon C5A Multiroom Smart Speaker Never mind your Marshalls & your Sonos speakers, this C5A from Audio Pro (Swedish design) takes the prize for audio quality. Take my word for it, I'm a BBC sound engineer! It has internet radio, Bluetooth &  Alexa built-in - and they can be doubled-up as a stereo pair with the app or just a mono multi-room setup. They have 4 preset buttons for your favourite radio stations and phono & 3.5mm line inputs. WiFi or wired ethernet. The speaker is actually stereo for the tweeters only. Position it nicely in the room and the bass is unbelievable! Top-end is crisp too. Really Hi-Fidelity! The app has bass & treble controls if you need them. Very highly recommended.
