Troo dat.

Anyway, how long has this forum been going and how many nerds do we have on here and still there's no "Like" button??

Re: A Dutch first: Ingenious BMW theft attempt

"Ramblings" is the right word for that blog. tldr - Their grand scheme was to make it look like a simple break-in without theft, while cleverly disabling the internal alarm systems, and covering their tracks as best as possible. Most likely, if I parked the car in front of our house the ne...

Yeah, this recent weather has been tough for big hairy pooches!

We've been trying to get them to the beach as much as possible as they all like swimming and the rescue one is obsessed by it

Re: Forza Horizon 4

And yesterday does look superb although I wonder how popular it will be outside of the uk, I doubt dull dreary uk has quite the same global appeal as somewhere nice and hot and sunny... Some of the footage I've seen looks absolutely stunning - I seem to remember there's stuff modelled on the Scotti...

Re: Forza Horizon 4

Someone's just put up a 15 minute gameplay vid on Youtube (insanely irritating commentary) and the Edinburgh stuff looks insanely good. Although I still wish they'd remake Project Gotham.

Re: The Movie Thread

Empire have just done one (now two) spoiler special podcasts with Christopher McQuarrie about MI:Fallout which make for fascinating listening about the process, things they cut and everything else about the movie basically. The first one clocks in at just under 3 hours long and its great to hear an ...

Re: Cyclists - turbo trainer advice

They've just added the Innsbruck courses in to Zwift - as someone who isn't a cyclist, I made the mistake of picking one of those course to do on a rest day yesterday - by the time I finished I'd have been more dry if I'd sat in a bath for an hour.

Re: Networking your home

We put cat6 in a couple of years back and its well worth doing imho. I was put off home plugs by some of the reviews and wifi is never as reliable as it should be in terms of coverage, although some of the new mesh setups look really good.

The iPhone X is my favourite iPhone they've done, by some distance. TouchID seems positively primitive when you go back to it.

Re: The Movie Thread

A Quiet Place - really enjoyable horror(?)/sci-fi dystopian thriller about a family trying to stay alive on an earth which has been invaded by deadly creatures who hunt by sound. Really interesting idea, very well executed and for once the main leads (for the most part) behave very logically and do...

Re: Cyclists - turbo trainer advice

I’m going to invest in something smart for the winter and swallow my distaste for Zwift. I've got the Elite Direto direct drive and it's very good, although it is my first trainer so nothing to compare it with. Halfords quite often have offers on cycling gear and with a discount they were offering ...

Re: The BMW M3 compact (e36)

8-) I remember seeing an M Compact in BMW Magazine about 15 years ago, but it was one of the tuner specials. Was either Hartge or Racing Dynamics. Never knew there was an official M Compact. I’m sure I remember one which was done in army green colour I saw at a local dealer about 20 years ago. Same...

Hosting wise we've been using VIdahost (now Tsohost) for years and they've been brilliant - top notch customer service, good pricing and really, really good technical support.

Re: iPhone 6S - Charging issue...

Backup your phone.... Wipe it and set it up as a new phone.... See if issue is still there. If issue is gone, you can either restore your backup and see if that works (depends where the software issue is). Or just reinstall apps and content which is a PITA but that's life. If issue remains after a f...

Re: iPhone 6S - Charging issue...

The genius is suggesting a new battery (why ? It charges and hold a charge and the diagnostic has it running at 89%) or doing a full restore as a brand new phone (which I don't want to try unless I have to as it'll take a age to re-download 100GB of music) anyone come across similar - any suggestio...

Re: Anyone know anything about generators?

We've bought a few for the races after years of hiring them, but as has been mentioned, best bet would be to talk to someone who knows what they're talking about to understand how powerful a model you'll actually need in the real world. My limited experience running a variety of stuff off them makes...
