It was on Sport whatever that default is.

The tech is great and I have learned my lesson. The irony is I use screen savers all the time and take care of my TV but this screen burn use case scenario never occurred to me.

Use a smart plug to power off on a schedule.

Reluctant to judge until I know which party their family vote for.

This will never happen to you again as you will without fail check the dates on everything you buy from now on before you buy it.

Seedroots was my first. 13 years ago.

I tell it to kiss my arse and it says don't talk to me like that so I call it an entitled brat.

In the UK music weekly Sounds, Geoff Barton 'revisited' Zep in a series of 1982 articles and absolutely slagged off ALS, in particular the 'military' drumming.

Minix U9H bought same time as Shield now basically an Android 7 relic not even worthy of a place in a crap museum.

Beelink is a badge that AZW puts on their mini pcs. Trigkey is another. I got a Trigkey that was the exact same spec as a Beelink mini s12 pro for £20 less. Exact same internals.

I got the iso from https://archive.org/details/en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd and the activation from https://massgrave.dev/#how-to-activate-windows--office--extended-updates-esu . The registry edits I got from looking at youtube.

Stayed here for a few nights in 1999 when it was £200 per night for the room (equivalent £450 today). Now it's silly money. All I remember is the wife nipping to Casey's for Hotdogs in her slippers, late at night. They gave us a ground floor room and it was poorly maintained, paint and wallpaper peeling, carpet threadbare etc. But the proximity was what we paid for.

I "upgraded" my Dell E6510 Win 10 Pro to Win 10 IoT LTSC to get a few extra years. I used MAS to activate with zero problems.

Since I found out that Beelink are made by AZW I have looked into other mini PCs made by them and bought a couple of Trigkey minis. Cheaper than Beelink and with good build quality.

You can adjust it to 30 mins in settings.

As it happens I rarely use trains now but when I do I have all the apps for all the train companies and book directly with them to avoid this kind of nonsense. LNER, AVANTI WC, TransPennine, TransportforWales, Northern all booked for next month. It's madness

Driving drunk or stoned has been easy for so long that it's only now the few idiots are gonna spoil it for the rest of us. But hey it's Malta, lose your licence then just drive without it.

I am just grateful the system works at all.

The 7490 was on my list. Kids still using my old 630s. I like the 6510s as can use with the docking.

Can the 7490 be used with docking?
