Bombjack was a cracking game.

Design classic though ;)

Sure is, one of the best speccy games ever.

Bought a couple of 48K spectrums (in good physical condition) on eBay, one was working and the other was faulty. Bit of probing around using the schematic and found an open circuit on a RAM chip, so fixed that and low and behold it sprung into life.

I’m tempted to install a UniFi G3 pro seeing as I have UniFi kit anyway and run their video server application on my NAS under docker.

Mental. Plus $39 each time you want to use it at an event. Knock that s**t up in a day! Lol

FileMaker is pretty much the standard when it comes to mac databases, the company is owned by apple.

Yeah, it was very weird. All I did was pull down the changes from another branch but then hell let loose. What I discovered though was that everything looked correct on the gitlab server, so I checked another machine and low and behold the code looked correct there. So deleted by local copy...

You know what I said about GIT... I moved our Gitlab server to our new NAS, my developer was trying to push some changes to a project but none of the remote branches were showing up.... Turns out the backup didn’t restore that project, so I redid the backup from the old server and restored it...

Awesome stuff dude. We are just working on a new design and it looks like I will have a whopping 1 megabyte of ram to play with! Lol

That’s why god invented GIT!

Well I'm moist. :smile:

What CPU is that? I just replaced my machine in the office, I’m rocking the built in graphics as I only ever access the machine over RDP.... I Posted a pic on Facebook of the task manager and my mate said “that’s not a PC, it’s a server!” Coffee lake 6 core with 32 gig of ram, builds fly on it!

The amount of equipment we've bought over the past few years is staggering. We have a state of the art pick and place line with solder jet printer. Means we can do JIT production and we can build prototype hardware in house as well. Not bad going considering we accidentally stumbled into the...

That's very cool.

Yeah, product has been shipping for a couple of years, but using somebody else’s antenna. Problem is, that due to the collapse of the pound and impending Brexit we needed to bring the antenna part in House. Lots of specialist equipment (£££) and a load of very complex engineering and time but...

Nice. I’ve managed to get an apprentice which has taken a load of work off me, took him a while to get up to speed with the Qt desktop software I wrote (he was amazed one person wrote it). I currently have a 24Ghz spectrum analyser set up on my desk in the office as I’ve been bringing up the...

No complaints here. Latest version of Plex supports hardware transcoding on the CPU as well and intel just fixed a bug in the intel drivers for transcoding so the quality is now decent and doesn't push the processor at all.

Never really have to touch anything, all just works tbh. NAS is a synology DS916+ (8GB ram) which I run docker on, Plex, plexpy and a whole load of other stuff run in containers on it.

Virgin "Super(Crap) Hub 3" running in modem mode. Unifi USG (previous used a mikrotik router) acting as the network gateway, separate switch, separate access points.

3 There's Sonos, Nest Thermostats, TV's, Laptops, iPads, Kindles, Smoke Alarms, Access Points, Office Phone, Consoles, NAS etc. Soon adds up. Most of the bandwidth is consumed by Plex or the NAS downloading.

My AP's are PoE. 400Mbit broadband coming in, NAS directly connected to switch to take advantage of full download speed. Lot's of Plex clients all over the house, 40+ devices (both wired and wifi) making use of the network. I love the stats you get out of the unifi kit, facebook consumes a...

I use these bad boys at home. (60W version) https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-switching/unifi-switch-8/

Amazon have a 3 for 2 offer on various hue bits and pieces.

We use our echo dot a lot, controlling the lights and setting timers while cooking. It's proved more useful than I thought it would.

Bloom is on discount at amazon.

AFAIK, apple take payment at the time on a debit card. Credit card is charged at point of shipping with a pre-auth on it.

Sure. If they never want to install anything on their phone.

I think it's definitely mostly it, I also think the fact that they've removed the 128GB tier (which to me and a lot of people is just about spot on) is also a factor so you're either paupering out and paying a lot for a 64GB device or you're paying an extortionate amount for a 256GB device...
