    *** The official iPhone 13 (mini/pro/max) thread (The Pro Max has 120 Hz and everything!) ***

    The app was a nightmare with 'an error occured' and then putting things into my bag which upon clicking was empty! Eventually gave up and tried to phone, but then a 20 minute delay on that so whilst the muzak played I just went on the website and it was flawless. I pickup my 256Gb 13 Pro next...

    Sir Clive Sinclair has died.

    I could reminisce endlessly about what joy that 48k Spectrum gave to me. I'm saddened as another part of my childhood has gone, and I'm reminded that my own game over screen is creeping ever closer. He was a genuine eccentric genius and fitted the stereotype for sure. I even have one of his...

    The Outer Worlds (Obsidian)

    I've found a bug that's stopped me from playing this after an hour or so! I can't enter the Office Of Creative Incubation as the device to read the eyeball next to the door doesn't exist. I've checked Youtube and even the surroundings are different - I've posted to the support forums. Here it...

    Welding required to pass an MOT...oh dear..

    Hopefully i’ll have similar success Lopez - it’s booked in for the welding on Thursday so I’ll be heading straight over after the other items have been sorted. I know it’s an old car but it’s not broken down on me once in eleven years (apart from a dead battery when it had been left for a...

    Welding required to pass an MOT...oh dear..

    Thanks for all the comments guys. I know she’s just a Peugeot but i’ve become attached (mainly by the wallet!). I’ll give Saracen Autos a call and see what they say..it’s always good to get a recommendation. I should be getting it off ATS today and I’ll try to get a visual of it myself -...

    Welding required to pass an MOT...oh dear..

    I've had my 54 plate in for it's MOT (passed last year no issues), and been told that amongst other things there are two or three holes underneath that need welded. Not huge, and not far apart, but it needs doing. I know it's going to be rusty but I only do 3k miles a year (it's a second car...

    Wolfenstein The New Colossus

    Sadly I experience freezes at random places - I tried to return it to Game today but they could only offer me a replacement disc so I have to wait for it to be patched. Not a great customer experience from either Bethesda or Game...so beware, it looks like if you buy a PC title from Game which...

    RIP Prince

    I'd never heard of Fentanyl until now, and I wish I hadn't for obvious reasons - Prince must have been in a lot of pain to even be considering such a drug. Watching him dance makes me kind of wish he hadn't done so much of it - it was wonderful to witness at the time, but I'd rather he was...

    *** Official Fallout 4 - No Spoilers Allowed ***

    I was in Game Glasgow at lunchtime and was told they already have it in stock...locked up in the back room! So near yet so far..

    Tomb Raider 2: Rise of the Tomb Raider Announced

    I've just been to game and I see the release date is now the 13th. It was supposed to be the 10th? I had a chat with a member of staff and he confirmed...maybe to not conflict with Fallout 4? Amazon are also saying the 13th now. Either way that's a bit of a bummer, but I guess F4 will have...

    Digitising VHS

    I'll second that suggestion, I've used one of those with great success. Magnetic media degrades so it's important that people digitise important footage.

    Apple activation lock

    Well, apparently they can unlock devices if you have a genuine proof of purchase but I therefore didn't get anywhere. A lesson for myself and anyone else - you can check the status of a device at icloud.com by typing in the serial number. No lost message on it so I can't even speak to the...

    Sony RX100 advice

    A good purchase - I've only got the mk1 but love it, got one second hand for £250 a few months back. Macro is decent, but that f1.8 lens in such a small package makes it very good for clandestine concert shots or in theatres. I have a smaller Sony point and shoot then upwards to a Panasonic GX7...

    Apple activation lock

    In a nutshell, there's no way round activation lock is there? I bid in an auction of airport lost luggage items and got an iPad mini 2 for £50. I have no comeback as it was sold with no liability to the auctioneer and with hindsight I should have done my homework. The lot even said it was...

    Until Dawn

    I've spent an hour with the game today, and I'm very impressed. As a fan of Heavy Rain, it's right up my alley.. It drips with atmosphere and the graphics are sometimes uncannily realistic. There's been a lot of love put into this title, and if you have any notion to buy it I'd not hesitate...

    C4 cactus

    Avoiding unsightly parking dings by putting ugly plastic patches on the doors? Utter genius. Why didn't they go the whole way and cover the car?

    Beginner DSLR user needs some software...

    I almost exclusively use Fastone Image Viewer (www.fastone.org) for picture enhancement as it's so simple and quick to use and then I move on to Irfanview for file size changes as it does batch processing. I have Photoshop Elements and as a result of using those two programs I hardly ever...

    First time Android user..any app suggestions?

    Thanks Emlyn, I'll have a look at this 'Google launcher' of which you speak. I initially just wanted to browse the web on it to be honest, and anything else is a bonus - the catchup apps look to be very good. I wonder if I need to install any anti-virus software on it? Is Android prone to...

    First time Android user..any app suggestions?

    Hi guys, I've just bought my first ever Android device, a Tesco Hudl 2. I had some vouchers to use so I got it for about £100 with Clubcard Boost and I'm pretty chuffed value wise! It looks to be a really nippy performer and I'm pleased with how sharp the display is. Nothing really screams...
