Want to ask everyone about what the best camera and photo editor is? Im not very good with technology but want to learn more about it. I want to get a better camera I currently have a fujifilm finepix S. I want to upgrade to something that takes more clearer pictures of the dogs. Ecspecially when in motion! I want a camera that can catch every detail. As for a photo editor i just need something that I can turn the light up a bit, put my photo logo on and maybe change it to black and white but leave the eye colors..Just cool things Thanks in advance!

Hi, I bought my son a cheap laptop for Christmas ( as he tends to break everything he touches) and it is driving me insane. It had a free trial of macafee installed and he has only been on it a few times and the rest I have been trying to remove pop ups telling me it is blocking unwanted programs. I tried a malware remover thingy and it all seemed fine but tonight when he tried to get online it tells me ' the remote device or resource won't accept the connection. In frustration I did a system restore and now it still won't log on and the pop ups are back. I am seriously thinking of chucking it tin the recycle bin and buying another. It is a toshiba cheap thing from Argos.…

Determined to see if Im the only mac user on here. So come on guys, are you a mac user or a PC user? I guess Im kinda both. I have a mac, but I also use windows on it as I develop windows applications LOL. Unless I'm developing though, I tend to stay off it. Windows just drives me crazy these days.

Been a while since I posted anything up in here, so thought I would see how many people are getting into the whole home automation thing. With things coming out with the echo, hive, nest, hue etc, more and more people are automating things. For me, I've been automating quite a few things lately. Stopped doing it so much as it could quickly cost a fortune and money going on other things, but eventually I will be doing the whole house. Amazon echo in livingroom, office, diningroom, kitchen, bedroom Smart light switches in livingroom, office, bedroom (and one for the diningroom once I get it put in) Smart socket in livingroom for lamps Hive b…

Decided I needed a new desk. Problem with my old one was that it looked a bit worn and we are trying to get the house into a sellable state, so I moved to a small desk. When you work from home every day though, a small desk is not exactly comfortable, so have had one custom built into the corner

Hi all, I'm working on a site to try and automate a competition we have annually on another forum I'm on. The guy that used to run it used to calculate and lay everything out manually in excel, and had to give it up due to lack of time a couple years ago. I decided it shouldn't be too hard to revive it, and it was a good bit of fun. I've designed it to be as little work for myself as possible (once it's done), so users submit their entries themselves, and once a question is answered, I simply drop the answer into a file and it calculates all the scores and lays them out for me, no extra work required Seeing as the actual contestants can't see anything until the 1st of N…

Hi! My husband's mom listens all the time to her Bose radio, and we want to get her into the digital music-streaming age....😁 She already has a computer and an iPad, and she has WiFi in her home. So we were thinking about getting her some kind of wireless speaker for Christmas. Does anybody have recommendations for a wireless/Bluetooth kind of speaker, where she can stream Spotify or Pandora or iTunes or something, and have the sound quality be nice? Thank you for any thoughts!

Just thinking about how people browse the site, so I thought I would just ask the question. Sure I could probably look at stats, but thats just not as much fun So what do you have that you browse the site with? Personally, I use one of 3 iMac - I spend most of my day on this, and so generally this is what I use to browse and post on the site. MacBook Pro - Don't always want to sit on my desktop, so will often sit in the living room on my laptop. Galaxy S8 - I do often use the husky owners app for android. Tends to be more for browsing than actually posting personally, although I know there are many who use it for posting.

That is it folks if you havent upgraded yet the free offer ends on the 29th June, its worth backing up personal stuff doing the free upgrade and taking a copy. Then you can revert to previous system keeping the free upgrade on an 8gig usb stick so if you want to upgrade later you can

I downloaded the freebie of Avast the other day as my old antivirus had run out and I didnt wanna pay to renew it. i'm having a few issues with my laptop tbh and i'm not entirely convinced that Avast is doing it's job too well. (I know it hasn't got a firewall in the freebie but it's not even finding stuff when I'm running a full system scan. That would be fine excep that when I run superantispyware it tells me it has found adwares so clearly avast is not picking them up!) i've tried AVG in the past and wasn't all that impressed with that either, so the only other bigwig i can think of would be Avira. I've heard it's not graphically pleasing but pretty powerful w…

Over the weekend I have tried to download the november update for windows 10. It got as far as 7% then did nothing.....for 4 hours! I've just tried it again today and it's stuck at 3% What's going on?!! I've had a look online and it did say you wouldn't get the update if you've only upgraded to windows 10 in the last 31 days but the fact that it's started trying makes me thing that this isn't the problem. There was also an article saying that multiple users were having problems with the update getting stuck at 44% if they were using an SD card. I'm not getting as far as 44% and I'm not using an SD card so doubt that's the problem either. A…

Hi I haven't been on much lately as every time I switch on my laptop it keeps telling me I have very low memory (system memory) I spend more time doing clean ups than any actual time doing anything else. I have removed pictures and documents but still no better. the hard drive still has over 100GB available. Is this possible to fix or do I buy a new laptop.

Work has been a 'mare since camp. Up and down the M6, culminating in an [expletive] crypto locker attack on our school last week. Finally thought we solved it on Saturday and the blighter rears Its head again yesterday. Many files lost. Many upset students. Many computers scanned. Many beers drank. Think we nailed it now.
