    Poll: Will you be buying a 2080Ti/2080/2070?

    Currently have a 1050 (non-ti) and been waiting to upgrade for months. Think I'll just settle for a 1070ti or 1080. I was hoping the 2070 would be around the £450/£500 mark, but £600 is just too much!

    MySQL / c#

    Could anyone give me some pointers on this problem. Been playing about with it for a few hours and I'm going round in circles. Its been quite a learning curve this afternoon / evening (well to a novice) getting an Arduino to communicate over Xbee, then having this program pick up the serial...

    Microsoft downgrades free OneDrive storage to 5GB, ends unlimited storage for Office 365 customers

    The way MS have announced this is all wrong. They should have just removed the "Unlimited" element and placed a cap on it (10TB?). Downgrading the free camera storage and such like is really going to upset a lot of people.

    Running network cable externally?

    In terms of vandalism I suppose it would be pretty easy to just snip the cable. To actually snip it, terminate it and use it though would take someone rather determined to get onto my network and considering I have a switch and 4 devices connected to the cable I'd soon know about it. Plus...

    Running network cable externally?

    External grade CAT6 http://solwise.co.uk/networking_sundries_cat5_cable-unterminated-outdoor.htm Just make sure everything is punched down properly! I had issues with both cables that I ran. The office is terminated to a faceplate but I ran short on cable for the living room and had to end...

    Running network cable externally?

    I did exactly that a few weeks ago. Out of the living room, across the house and into the office.

    Ridley Scott’s The Martian

    Its the first film I've seen in 3D. I thought it was much better than I was expecting. I expected things to be fuzzy and not quite in focus, but everything seemed crystal clear. No cheesy 3D effects for the sake if it either. The glasses where quite comfortable wearing with my existing glasses...

    Ridley Scott’s The Martian

    I thought it was probably the best film I've seen in a long time. Loved every minute of it. We didn't get phones confiscated, just had to switch them off in front of security before entering the theatre and they had people inside, and it was an instant removal if they saw a screen light up.
