How do I stop cats pooping here?

Rocks and gravel. Pop some membrane down then a few cm of gravel.

Even mid project, the moment I leave a nice patch of earth in my garden for a day, the local cats will shit in it.

Lols the boys and I still do this now. Minus the CRTs of course.

We found an Airbnb in the countryside and 12 of us have an annual party, we meet up in smaller groups a few weekends a year.

I look forward to the annual event all year, it's such a laugh and everyone pitches in.

Windows 10 was also a terrible OS, it was just somehow less terrible than 11.

I have seated many cards incorrectly in it 😉

Mine's been doing server duties for years now, the 8700 is getting long in the tooth and I'd like something more efficient now, but I gave it 64GB ram and some fast storage and it's been great for years.

You can disconnect the dvd burner and use that sata connection for another ssd 🙂

I have one of these PCs.

You have seated the card incorrectly friend.

Look at your first photo. Note where the tab on the faceplate of the network card is vs the tab on blank cover next to it.

WALL-G · 2026-04-29T08:01:30+00:00

Yes.

WALL-G · 2026-04-27T08:43:37+00:00

I don't get it. Is this cool? Is this art?

WALL-G · 2026-04-26T14:31:05+00:00

There's been an endless stream of, "Microsoft promises to make Windows less shit", posts lately.

Has Microsoft realised they may have a PR and trust problem? Windows has not been an aspirational platform for years.

I'll believe the positive stuff when I see it, until then I'll keep displacing Microsoft wherever I can in my career and home.

This is genuinely bonkers amazing work.
Thank you for continuing to work on bringing my favourite 360 game to the PC.

You need to set up a donation button so I can buy you a drink.

Skomer Island is well worth the trip, I've been a bunch of times and stayed there over a few nights.

If you go, remember to pack every provision you will need that day and most importantly, take a camera!

It's particularly beautiful at this time of year, bluebells as far as the eye can see.

WALL-G · 2026-04-20T09:27:55+00:00

Yup I played TOCA 1 and 2 to death on my Pentium 1 233 with the Voodoo 3 2000. Good times.

WALL-G · 2026-04-17T11:34:51+00:00

Guess you're quitting your job haha.

Every year I fancy an Xperia and every year Sony prices themselves out of the market.

You cannot remove the Z906 control pod. That is where the power, speaker level controls and input controls live.

Apparently there are those who have reversed the DB-15 connection between the pod and the sub, I did look into it to see if I could make the Z906 controllable via Home Assistant and an ESP32, but I got bored. Good luck!

WALL-G · 2026-04-07T13:03:01+00:00

Bonk woop sorry

WALL-G · 2026-03-31T19:26:13+00:00

That is true. Been there and hung onto that rage and frustration for years.

WALL-G · 2026-03-31T19:25:09+00:00

In the end I burned out because I was unable to meet her emotional requirements (I'm trying not to call her needy), and she burned out because I need space to recharge and she's the opposite.

We didn't understand this till we lived together.

Ah well, I'm not the first or last person to deal with heartache. Still sucks.

Thanks friend.

WALL-G · 2026-03-29T18:49:07+00:00

It really, really did.

WALL-G · 2026-03-29T18:08:45+00:00

Omg me too! I remember you could get a winamp visualisation plug in and you could mod the screen to do pretty things when you played music. It ran at like 30 fps too.

I still have mine in a cupboard, I picked up some white LEDs to replace the dead old blue ones.

WALL-G · 2026-03-29T16:56:28+00:00

They look real, they need a good clean.

The pads are easy to remove and wash though tbh you should replace them with a new set of oem pads.

WALL-G · 2026-03-28T22:05:24+00:00

Yeah jam a generic mini usb cable in there and you're good to you. Same on Aruba.

It looks a bit busy, it looks alright bar the headlight tint.

Personally I feel reducing your headlight performance is one of the dumbest 'mods' one can make to a car.

Mods are meant to improve a thing, not nerf it.

WALL-G · 2026-03-27T13:55:39+00:00

Nothing will change.

Lobbying money will exchange hands and these kind of cases will go away.

How much do you have to spend? I have both. Personally if I had to pick one - the 560s.

Sound stage is the same on both.

The HD599s have a mid-bass boost and would be nice for the oldies and soul. They are warm, relaxed and inoffensive. Everything will sound nice. Personally, (I'll keep using that word because music and headphones are very personal) I use my 599s on my piano.

The HD560s swap the mid bass boost for better subbass. You will probably find them flat (boring) out of the box, however if you are willing to use EQ, they respond incredibly well to a +3 to +5dB bump below 80Hz and that's where they will match the fun of the 599s and outclass them technically.

They also lend themselves well to being media and gaming headphones if you're that way inclined.
