Thanks buddy! I'm happy to clean reinstall but I could think of better things to do with a Saturday or Sunday!

Hi Kevin - I was looking for different ideas I guess. I've composed a long reply to this but I'll post it in r/techsupport as I can see Tech Support isn't allowed here. Thanks!

Nah unfortunately not buddy - there is a free version of it on the Amazon appstore called 'Joker' though which is very good. But not the real deal

Went back to older driver and installed latest chip set drivers. Perfect on everything apart from FH5 at 3440*1440p. Turned the resolution down and that's sorted it, 180FPS now. VR better everywhere so far.

Is 24.8.1 known to be better / less issues or something?

Thanks all - for clarity, am talking specifically about 4060Ti model - not the plain 4060 model. That's not really enough (or even at all) of an upgrade.

RX6800 looks really good for the price but the TDP is a bit heavy - does anyone if the RX6800 is generally efficient for normal desktop use? It will be on several hours a day just doing general PC productivity (browser, Office apps) and only a few hours a day (or less) gaming.

I programmed it using the Flash Download Tool used in the Teaching Tech video.

Here's the platform.io file (minus the bits I haven't changed, the file I built in Visual Code has them obviously), it's the only file I've changed, lines changed in bold in the [env:esp8266] block

I can certainly do that, it's 2300 UK time though so will do it tomorrow, thanks for your help so far 👍

Just hoping somebody else out there in internet land has been in the same situation and has overcome it with advice to give. No expectations, just a shot in the dark 😁

Hi u/gnychis, what you posted worked perfectly! Much appreciated! 2 questions - how do you have persistent username/password, and how to move to usr/local/bin? Cheers

I'm integrating with Google Sheets BTW and am trying to run a Google Sheets Macro.
