Here's a good video from Computerphile that explains how this works without revealing your passwords. He provides a python script to make the process very simple and cross platform. I'd recommend the Computerphile channel, it has some great stuff on all aspects of computer science including...

I've used a us-122 to digitise a few LPs with very acceptable results. Never managed to get it to work with W10 though.

My band did our first pub gig on Friday and when we came to get paid at the end of the evening, they said we don't pay bands directly anymore you need to go through 'Event UK'. I'd never heard of them, but I guess it's easier for the venues and probably just the way it's done these days. To use...

Same for me.

Thanks for the reply Bob, at least I know it's not just me! I'd be interested to know if anyone has ITVX working without issue on a Firestick. If I find a solution I'll post it here.

I used the ITX X app on my Firestick yesterday for the first time. The program played OK but the adverts constantly stuttered and buffered and dropped out, on two occasions I had to go back to main menu and play the program again. I tried several other programs and all exhibited the same...

Ahh, OK, now I understand.

I've recently (last couple of days) noticed that the word "Mastodon" is being displayed above the pink fish logo at the top of every pink fish page I visit (Chrome on Android) . Looks like it might be a link. Is this new? Is it meant to be there or have I been infected by something.

Use with caution! Example to delete all emails in inbox date 2014 or older: Open Gmail in Chrome browser (probably works in other browsers) In search box enter: label:inbox Before:2015/01/01 This will give you a paginated view of all the emails in your inbox that are older than 1st Jan 2015...

Thanks for the replies, lots of useful info. It's a small gig, no more than 50 people in a sports club function room and we are the only band. There is no sound engineer! It'll be me reluctantly doing that job! We will be using all our own PA kit which includes a pair of 15" powered speakers...

tl:dr How do you monitor the guitars at a gig? My band is doing it's first gig in November and I'm wondering how to monitor the 2 guitars so that the rhythm section can hear them! In practice it's not a problem as they place their amps in front and turn them to face us. In performance mode...

I've just done the comparisons on the Cheap Energy Club and for me, Octopus is about 20% more expensive than the cheapest deals (E.On Next) for a 24 month fixed dual fuel deal with no early exit fee. Can get it slightly cheaper still, but only with companies I've never heard of and I've got...

Thanks for the reply Amber Audio, that was exactly the infomation I was looking for. The email was exactly like the one in the picture you posted. I thought it was genuine but was not happy to tell my friend that it was until I'd checked. I realise her IT system at home is way more...

Thanks for the reply Heckyman The first thing I tried was to inspect the links, several are to dratek.com (non are to dratek.co.uk), some are to myvigor.dratek.com and some are to emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com. Non of the links are plain and simple, they all contain very long strings...

It turns out that the 'Samsung Data Migration Tool' that I used to clone my old drives (as recomended by Samsung!) does not work with anything other than Windows NTFS (possibly FAT as well) partitions, it completly ignores (doesn't even notice that there there) any ext4 partitions. This appears...
