    Full size keyboard with built in USB ports

    Hi, Looking for a full size keyboard with built in USB ports, as my PC is under the desk and not too accessible. Ideally with backlit keys so I can use them in the dark (can't touch type)! My all-time favourite keyboard was an old Dell with black alps switches, but I also liked the keyboard on...

    Good Bike lock needed

    I have a Hiplock Gold wrapped around the seatpost/frame and an Abus Granite Extreme on the pannier rack. They weigh a ton but then so does the ebike. Cables don't seem worthwhile except maybe as a purely visual deterrent, bolt cutters will get through them in seconds.

    *** The Official macOS Catalina thread ***

    Anyone know how to override the security settings to install an old printer driver from a .pkg file? Keep getting the developer cannot be verified message. Was working fine in Mojave. It's a Samsung SL-X3220NR. Thanks

    Meraki AP 5ghz transmit power

    Turns out the signal strength is pretty poor in the office, possibly due to the sheer number of SSIDs and access points in the vicinity. The office is on the first floor, directly above a busy high street tube station in Central London. I'm sitting about 3m away from the closest AP and getting...

    Meraki AP 5ghz transmit power

    Thanks for the pointers. Just tried enabling band steering and users were reporting flaky wifi performance and drops, so reverted it back for now.

    Meraki AP 5ghz transmit power

    OK thanks. I'm a relative noob to this mesh wifi stuff. I read that 5ghz transmit power should be around 6dbm+ higher than 2.4ghz so devices would give the 5ghz preference, and I didn't really want to lower the 2.4ghz transmit power any further.

    Meraki AP 5ghz transmit power

    Hi, We have a number of Meraki MR42 APs. I have set the 2.4ghz target power to 13dbm and the 5ghz to 20dbm. I am getting 13dbm transmit power on 2.4ghz, but only 17dbm on 5ghz. RF profile is set to AutoPower min and max 13dbm on 2.4ghz and 20dbm on 5ghz. Anyone know how to get 20dbm transmit...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S review

    Been using the MPS4S on the rears for around 6 months now, very happy with them. Still have MPSS on the fronts tho, plenty of life left. Just a quick query: Is it normal/recommended to run the tyre pressures that low? I pump mine up to 37 psi cold - 275/30/20.

    **** The Official Note 5 thread ****

    Got one arriving tomorrow, in silver titanium. Ordered a couple of Spigen cases, but looking for a decent glass screen protector, preferably full coverage, but might not be possible due to the screen curve. Any recommendations?

    S5 as a car cam?

    Try AutoGuard app. It has most of the functionality you are looking for. Works fine on my Note 3 with the phone plugged into the car charger.

    Experience of SSD Sata vs PCI-E SSD?

    Interested in getting the SM951 512gb. Anyone able to confirm whether it would work and be bootable in my motherboard? Asus P6T WS Pro. Thanks

    Alloy repair in London?

    I've used wheelxchange in Hanwell a couple of times, seem to do a reasonable job. Doubt it would cost more than £100 to repair one scuffed alloy.

    *** Official Kodi (née XBMC) Thread ***

    I bought the Amazon Fire stick yesterday and put Kodi on it. Haven't really used Kodi/XBMC much in the past, but plenty of info on the web. Installed a couple of Chinese add-ons and it streams 1080p files from the PC just fine. I have noticed occasional sluggish-ness in the menus, but...

    Looking for new 32inch TV

    I was considering the Samsung 32H5500 but ended up paying a bit more and getting the Sony 32W7, as it just looks and feels like a more premium product compared to the Samsung. Using it mainly as a temporary pc monitor and screen mirroring my android phone.

    120/144Hz gaming

    Pretty decent system you have already. Aside from the GPU suggestions, you could also look at getting a cheap Xeon 5650 CPU for a couple more cores - should overclock to 4Ghz+ fairly easily.

    Bitfenix Prodigy Mini-ITX gaming build

    After a bit more research, I'm almost decided on a Kraken X41 with push/pull fans exhausting out of the back, with a 230mm front and 2x120mm top fans sucking air in. Hopefully this will also create adequate airflow around the GPU area.
