    Tado X therms for all rads

    Current experiences with car servicing?

    When I had diesel vehicles, servicing was £200-£300 including the MOT. Never had any vehicle serviced at a main stealers, so nothing to compare there. Never bothered with books or stamps either.

    Making Tax digital

    The main purpose is to get people who currently shove receipts into a shoebox to actually keep proper accounting records, which will be a significant benefit to those individuals, as they don't have to wait until months after the end of a tax year to discover what state their business is in, or...

    Standby for broadband failure

    Range mainly, possibly speed if it's a USB2 version. Wifi settings are in the tray bottom right of the taskbar on Windows 10 / 11. Or go to Settings and search for 'wifi', or look under Network & Internet.

    Standby for broadband failure

    Same process as connecting a laptop to the phone hotspot. Phone takes 4G / 5G signal, phone creates WiFi signal, laptop or any other computer connects to that WiFi. If they are both connected, it will use both. If one goes away it will use whatever is left. If it's on the cable connection and...

    Keeping track of cards and certs - what do you use?

    But not any more, as it's broken. Exactly what would be expected when people use vibe coded AI slop. For anything that needs any kind of reminder, any calendar will do the job, whether printed or electronic. Apps residing on someone else's computer are neither required or wanted.

    Smart Fused Spurs

    Plug and socket, FCU, an inline fuse holder somewhere, a chassis mounted fuseholder in the device, it's all the same. That reply from Ven Taxia should be disregarded , as it refers to 'I.E.E. regs'. It's been the IET for the last 20 years, so if the rest of their knowledge is as outdated as...

    Katsu Router...newbie question

    Those are cheapo lightweight affairs designed for trimming laminate or doing very shallow cuts with small diameter cutters. That is a substantial 1-3/8 inch cutter on a 1/4 inch spindle - something which is far too large for that spindle size, and certainly not suitable for a low powered...

The other videos on that YT account have been posted on this forum by someone else in the past, regarding nonsense enquiries about certain other buildings and locations. and given the content of one of those videos, that YT account surely cannot belong to...

    Can i add hardware so i can upgrade to windows 11?

    That processor is not supported by Windows 11. The motherboard doesn't support UEFI Secure Boot either which is also a requirement. There is no way any of that can be used with Windows 11.
