Re: Pest advice for controlling False Black Widow

Kol Tregaskes — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 10:23:11 -0000

I believe I have 2 living in my conservatory roof. I read they are as harmless as a wasp but my only worry is if one of them is female and has laid eggs?

I only spotted one a few days ago and only seen it away from the crack once. And I've only seen a second one once and only it's leg which looked bigger than the other.

I have a dog as well and worried they might bite him?

Very useful, thank you. How would I edit the VBS code to open Excel sheet as read-only?

Re: How to Clone a Hard Drive

Ignore me, figured it out. Delete the partition (if not already) then select Extend from the active partition. Simple when you know how. ;-)

So I've cloned my old 128Gb SSD to a 512Gb M.2 NVMe drive. It boots up fine and now have a faster boot time. The problem is I have a C: drive of only 128Gb when the drive has 512Gb available. I can see the unformatted partition in Disk Management. How do I merge this with the rest of the C: drive?

Apart from the hair colour, I prefer the 'before.

First Pixel branded tablet? Wasn't that the Pixel C?

Be careful with this, it's possibly that this is not the original November fork team.

Technically it will fork at block 501451, not specifically on 28th December. That date is an estimated. Let's hope that estimated is better than Bitcoin God's estimated of 25th December for block 501225 - which looks like it's going to be many days out! We're currently on block 501099: https://blockchain.info/blo...

I think some exchanges are using the BCH ticker symbol.

Isn't the PG27UQ the 27in monitor? Hence the 27 in the name. ;-)

I think you mean the PG35VQ, no?

Is this for USA only or will I get 4k on the Play Store in the UK? And where can you find 4k movies on the store?

A bizarre sentence.. 212 million is a lot of people. I think that's why it's still alive, no?

I'd like to see %s rather than figures to get a slightly more balanced comparison, i.e. the % of the total population.

Is there any plans for video filtering? It took them 80 hours to do this. Let's get the cloud to do this for us. ;-)

It's all about where your favourite shows are. if they are on Amazon, subscribe to Amazon. If they are on Netflix, subscribe to Netflix. If they are on both, subscribe to both. I think you mean adding Amazon rather than switching to Amazon. no?

The Google Play app gives me a blank screen. Any ideas? I've searched manually but says it cannot find any results.

Agree. It will be far dearer.

Re: PS4 Neo vs Xbox Scorpio: Rumoured specs, features and release date compared

Kol Tregaskes — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:11:25 -0000

I've already started to shift to PC gaming. I've been a PS4 gamer for a while now. But if Play Anywhere is opened up to all Windows games then the Scorpio/Xbox is in prime position as I can move between the two at no extra cost.

I'm not sure how important this this though. For me, my PC and consoles are in the same room but eventually the consoles will be in the living room along with a 4k TV (a long term purchase) so it's a toss up to where I want to play games. At the moment, I have an Xbox Elite controller for my PC so I can play any genre of game on the computer. The consoles are not too idea for RTS or similar games.

S the PC is still top for me but I'm lucky that I have a high spec machine. But even that requires one or two 1080 gfx cards to get up to 4k gaming. Those could be costly in comparison to a new console.

Kol Tregaskes — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:03:51 -0000

I think the PS4 Neo should be delayed a bit so they can buff the specs to compete with Scorpio. It's already pencilled in to be released at least 12 months before Scorpio, which MS say is out "holiday" 2017 - Xmas I believe? So another 6 months won't harm them too much. They can't release a lower spec machine after the recent years of being ahead.

Re: PS4 Neo vs Xbox Scorpio: Rumoured specs, features and release date compared

Kol Tregaskes — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:00:37 -0000

Apparently the PS4 Neo can only perform 4k video and not gaming. But even the Scorpio is apparently going to need to upscale games to 4k. They are relying a little on the developers to optimise their games to get near or up to the 4k standard.

Re: PC to Xbox One Cross-Buy Program Does Not Require Xbox Live Gold

For Play Anywhere we need to buy a digital copy but do we know if this can be bought from Steam, GOG and online stores like CDKeys or will we have to buy from Windows Store only?

Also, will ALL games support Play Anywhere or just a handful?
