Some years ago, a hotel I stayed at decided to charge my credit card twice. I tried to resolve the issue myself after I got home (I didn't know about the double charge until I got home). The Hotel just denied they would do that and offered no further help. Contacted my credit card and within 7...

If you pay by debit card and your item never turns up, then you have risked your own money. If you pay by credit card and the item does not turn up, then you have risked the credit card companies money. Until you pay off your credit card, you do not own the items you bought. So that makes the...

I use a credit card purely for the protection and pay the balance off at the end of the month. You can easily use a credit card and never pay anything for it, either in monthly fees or interest payments. Obviously ensure whichever credit card you go with, does not have monthly fees etc. The APR...

Proto beat me to it, see above...

I would recommend keeping what you have for now. However just to play devil's advocate and look at different options. I have taken your monthly commute and your average MPG and worked out roughly your fuel costs: Miles 1600 MPG 45 Gallons 35.56 Liters 161.64 £/Liter 1.34 Cost...

I always do mini risk assessments in my head before parking anywhere. If there is a space at the end of row, I will usually park there as that instantly reduces the risk by 50%. If I see a child seat, I'll stay clear etc. I remember around 10 years ago I bought a nice 12 month old Toyota...

I replaced my 290X with a vega64 a couple of months ago during black Friday deals. I have an ultra wide screen which has freesync, so that's how I decided. If the vega lasts any where near as long as my 290X, I'll be very happy.

When I bought my Radeon 290 it came with Battlefield 4, so a 590 or Vega card with Battlefield 5 wouldn't be a bad offer. Might even pull the trigger myself if that was the case :)

I'm also still using a 290X with a 3440x1440 ultra wide (I had 1080p monitor when I bought the 290X). I really thought I would need to replace the GPU, however the games I play run well. Might be due to Freesync, but either way it works. I mainly play simulators, strategy and MMO type games...

Not sure how else to help without converting your project to a Microsoft Office / VBA based solution. If it’s for work purposes and the Bartender Pro makes the job easier & faster etc then your boss may agree to pay for it. It’s worth giving him or her the options. On the other hand if your...

The Citizen printer usually comes with Bartender software, which you can download from their website. You can create a label template and link it to an Excel document or an ODBC data source. Have a look at this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4FD_FUbjEU I've used similar...

I've not used LibreOffice and it’s been decades since I used OpenOffice / StarOffice. I'm assuming you are doing code 39 type barcodes, which does not required any encoding other than putting * at the front and end of what you are barcoding. You need to send a separate print command for each...

Wow Overclockers are now charging £899.99 for the Sapphire Radeon RX VEGA 64 8GB stand alone edition (Link) Having a freesync monitor and an old R9 290X been waiting for prices to go down.

I'm almost in exactly the same boat, only difference is I have a 290X and I paid £260. I even recently upgraded from 1080p 60Hz monitor to a 3440x1440 100Hz monitor and it still plays Battlefield 4 at Ultra; silky smooth. Admittedly the freesync maybe helping there ;) I did check the fps and it...

I have been driving a 24 KW Leaf Tekna for the last 2 months. The car is on loan while the owner is on an extended holiday. I normally drive a 08 plate Prius. The app for the climate control is good for un-planned trips. You can use the car to schedule the climate control to come on just before...

I also do a lot of miles to work and back. If you want to reduce your running costs, then a hybrid or PHEV would most likely yield better savings. If you are able to sit on cruise control on the motorway for the majority of time without changing speed (in rush hour pretty unlikely), then the a...

If you’re doing over 15,000 miles per year, a full EV car like the Zoe or the Leaf can easily save you £100 per month in fuel alone compared to petrol or diesel. That includes accounting for the increased electric bill and that assumes your current car returns on average 60 MPG over the year...

I've driven a Yaris hybrid and I have to agree the experience of the acceleration & smoothness was pretty poor. However, the Toyota Auris hybrid is the same car as the Lexus CT200h hybrid and their CVT engines are much smoother. I have driven the CT200h and its worlds apart from the Yaris...

Toyota Prius T4 Spirit (2008) Full no claims discount. Fully comp, with business, with EU cover (which I use), with protected no claims, with legal cover. £340

I've done the Excel & MS Access solutions in the past. If you can, go straight to SQL Server Express as Quartz has already mentioned. I believe from memory you will be limited to 10 GB's of storage space, which is loads if you design your tables correctly etc. The other option which is free to...
