  • Biography
    I am an IT Engineer from the UK currently studying Computer Sciences also (With a focus on Networking).
    I started out helping friends with I.T but as my reputation grew I begun to get more work from outside sources.
    I finally got my self a job doing what I love full time, for some rather big companies, specifically working with IT and Aero Manufacturing.
    I am fully self taught although I am certified via CISCO, I gained a lot of my knowledge from Google or more specifically "Googling It", Channels like LTT, and breaking things.
    I try to help around the forum as much as possible with areas I understand well, more than likely hardware.

  1. I do a fair few conference calls, but I also hear people on laptops in calls, so maybe its not too much of a concern as long as they can hear me.
  2. Hi All, I am looking to get some wireless headphones and not sure which to get. So for starters I am using Android, and yes I know airpods are designed for iPhone, but they also apparently work very well on Android. The reason I am looking at the airpods is the mics, theyre know to have decent mics for what they are, plus they let a lot of sound in so when people are talking to me and things are happening around me I can still hear them. However, the sony has ANC and can also pick up voices while its active, but the mic seems rubbish. Any thoughts? Thanks
  3. That was my plan originally, I’ll go for that Thanks!!
  4. Is it worth the risk? I’m hearing on reddit there crap my other choice is a 35mm f1.8, upgrade from kit
  5. So I have an old 50mm 1.7 Pentax SMC lens that was my dads, and I was wondering is it worth buying a cheap adapter to use it? this is the adapter. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fotodiox-Mount-Adapter-Pentax-Camera/dp/B003Y31A2W i understand I can’t use auto features but that’s part of the reason I want to try it. anything to consider like focal length and image quality loss? thanks
  6. Okay! so I am looking at an iPad, this will be my first iPad, to replace my older laptop. Over the last 6 months I’ve used my laptop less and less and moved more to my iPhone XS. But being the filthy casual I am my gaming is more on iOS these days, and I’ll be getting the arcade when that comes out. so I am looking at which iPad, I would obviously spring straight for the pro, but is the price justification worth it? Ill also be using it as a notepad/drawing book. thoughts? thanks
  7. Winreducer.
    I have reduced windows Iso over 1 gb. the final size is about 2.2 gb 2.4 gb depending if I install on desktop or laptop with wireless drivers.

    I really think it's a great tool, it just takes some time to get it setup how you want it. I removed net framework and had to reinstall it with dism as I don't have steam on my laptop which would install it for you anyway :) .

  8. Hi All, I am looking for some advice towards building a PC specifically designed for Handbrake and MakeMKV, although MakeMKV is already covered by the drive in use. I know the application relies on multicore performance more than pure clock speed but I would like to keep everything on the cheap with this build as its going to be a secondary PC also used as a NAS. I was thinking possibly a 2200G may do okay with this? or maybe look second hand? Thoughts Thanks
  9. Hi All, So the other day I ordered a second hand LG 27" 4K HDR monitor from Amazon, cost me around £317, I knew there could be slight cosmetic damage with the item but I was willing to take the risk. When the monitor arrived it came in the LG box, but it turned out to be an Asus PB27UQ monitor (27" 4K non-HDR) and I am wondering if I should keep it. I did inform amazon about the issue, and they gave me the option to either send it back within 7 days and get a full refund, or keep the monitor with no extra charge. Now this monitor is a professional grade monitor to my understanding and its worth like £200 more than what I ordered. It does fine for my needs which are basically digital drawing, photo editing, games on PC and PS4 Pro, and I am wondering should I just keep this monitor? What are your thoughts? Many Thanks
  10. While it was on my list my local stores don't seem to have it at all (we have quite a few stores here also lol)
  11. Hello everyone So I am due a new contract and I am looking at springing for a high end phone as I spend most of my time on that these days. So let me list my usage Netflix (offline) YouTube (both offline and off, I want to download high quality videos and would like to hit higher resolution) Games (paid premium games and android emulators like retroarch) Heavy web browsing Emails, texts, WhatsApp Heavy picture taking (mostly family pictures) Google music (i use both Bluetooth for car and hd300 for headphones) There maybe more but that's the important things I think I want to stay with android because I have so much stuff with my account and im not sure about emulators on iPhone. What phone would you recommend, again I want a high end phone with excellent performance and good battery life when it's not doing much, an excellent screen for my content watching and is HDR possible? I'm leaning towards s9+ even though I don't normally like samsung. Suggestions Many thanks
  12. Trust me, that kid will break things on my desk, he does like to watch, although his mum doesn't like him watching because "she doesn't want he to play games and use computers a lot" like hes got a choice
  13. not saying its bad, but I like lower numbers I did unfortunately have to give up my beloved CM elite 110 case for a Nano S but the temp drop is worth it. Plus it doesn't heat up my room anymore. its warm enough here at the moment.
  14. I wanted to use my NZXT X62 but I dunno where the pump cable is I will be swapping when I find it. Also I used to raid back in WotLK and got bored, plus I don't have time due to family (got an 11 month old) plus I don't have the patience anymore lol, will be trying mythic dungeons in BFA, slacked off a lot in legion due to work and having a baby.
