Just want a decent TV box... bit of a rant.

They have a large selection of 4K now and every world cup game and Wimbledon CC is 4K so worth it for that alone. -

Residential FTTP ownership

You need to stay with Trooli. -
Set a pi up as a VPN server if you have enough upload at home. Residential IP so no captchas and always works.

Forerunner 245 Music here, love my Garmin watch great for notification - battery lasts ages and auto sync to strava with ease. Would consider upgrading for Garmin pay, but I haven't felt the need to yet. Go for it!

Localtechie replied to VeryPC's topic in Our Advertisers
I would use it for VR gaming, got a quest 2 and with this bad boy I could VR game in full glory. Would go perfectly with my new 350mb Virgin connection as well -
All booked thanks

I haven't used Sims in a while but you used to just be able to copy the Sims folder from an upgraded pc into the problem pc and it would work fine.

Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)
Localtechie replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
Thank you for writing this, I have had my second dose now (8 weeks after first) as I have been volunteering at the vaccine centers locally neither were bookings just spare stock at the end of the day. I feel embarrassed to even say I have been vaccinated as otherwise I would be at the very very back of the queue. I don't know a single friends as of yet who has been vaccinated and most I haven't even told. Hoping to continue volunteering where I can as it is so rewarding -
TP Deco owner here and it's faultless. Get my appalling 25mbps full speed round the house - 2 are wired one to router other with homeplug and the other is mesh. Never gone wrong a set and forget thing. Can get the S4s for £100 for 3 on Amazon a lot and for that price I recommend.

Well done for doing it but maybe now email due to the late notice this required X amount of hours outside work and as a result I will be having a day off here to compensate. Give them and inch they take a mile

Kindle Fire 7 - skip registration?
Localtechie replied to iSteve's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
I used the toolbox on a personal tab and the Amazon launcher would appear a few times a months by itself just something to be aware of. -
Same phone I use. Unbelievable for the price can't fault it.

Disney+ possibly blacklisting us

This post appears a few day before we see the return of baby Yoda. Coincidence? I think not. -
All depends on distance from cabinet. We get 25/3 here due to distance from the cabinet. At times 4 people all streaming (we rarely watch normal live TV) it simply can't cope. Xbox/ Game downloads are banned during the day (after 10pm only) and when lockdown happened I had to switch to 4G for video meetings as others were on video calls. If I was on 80/20 and we got that it would be fine. No Virgin, No FTTP, No altnet at all. Just waiting for LEO or 5G to improve things then can ditch the awful BT line. For some it's okay for others it's not and that's the problem it's not good enough as it's not consistent for everyone.

Worked at Sainsbury's yonks ago was 3 strikes and your out. I worked in a small store and being sick even for a day was massively frowned upon in your return to work interview you had to have. I went in with colds, even one actually was sick at work and the I could get sent home so they couldn't question why I was ill. -

Went abroad twice in August and the thing that surprised me most is EVERYONE wears a mask. No exceptions. It's a simple case of no mask = no entry. I asked some locals about people who couldn't and they said there is no reason why they can't wear a mask and if they can't wear a mask they are too at risk to be out at the moment so stay at home or don't go inside venues. -
https://github.com/nhsx Why don't you check the source code and judge for yourself. FYI it doesn't even have the api calls for location neither file storage on android. The only thing I can see is camera to scan a QR code. Much better then the ad supported games on apps using Facebook analytics. I've installed it
