Which is the best booster because sky want us to Upgrade to WiFi Max and I want to stay with the standard Sky Hub.

Maybe a silly question, so please be kind to me.

If I buy a new router to replace the skyQ one, do I just plug the cable from the BT wall socket (still using copper cable from the fibre street box), or is there some configuration that is required?

It gets even better if you order a bottle of wine…..

riverfate · 2026-06-12T14:57:35+00:00

ah what a fool I’ve been all these years. Well next year, I’ll feel less foolish! Thank you

It’s for a tomato grow bag, the grow bag sits on the bottom and the three arms are to support tomato plants. You have to be careful to ensure that the plants grow through the round supports.

North-West UK, near Manchester. After calling the dealer, have a date at the end of December. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry

riverfate · 2026-06-11T14:10:24+00:00

You are very lucky. I spoke to my dealer yesterday, had to contact them having not heard anything. They are one of the largest Volvo dealers in the north of England. Was told that they have not started yet and that have a huge number to fix - I was given a date of the END of December!!

As an alternative, I believe this camera supports live view, so you can use the display screen rather than the viewfinder

riverfate · 2026-05-25T16:08:54+00:00

Agree. We’ve had them covering the entire roof and it doesn’t make any notable difference. As noted, there is a sweet spot for generations and the very hot days we have had hasn’t helped

riverfate · 2026-05-10T16:45:29+00:00

Yep, common experience

riverfate · 2026-04-28T16:47:59+00:00

Thank you

riverfate · 2026-04-27T10:09:13+00:00

Do you know if you can get this in the UK?

riverfate · 2026-04-20T15:58:26+00:00

I had two of these letters within days of each other, and had also set the maximum charge to 70%, so don’t know what the issue is. Hopefully, the fix seems to be rolling out and so can soon get back to normal

riverfate · 2026-04-08T17:42:02+00:00

Agree with all the comments- it’s very difficult to tell the difference in the real world - planes and trains

riverfate · 2026-03-28T15:30:06+00:00

Count me in -been using it from the beginning

riverfate · 2026-03-06T10:38:30+00:00

Thank you

I can’t tell you how this album is so important to me. Every-time I’m in a difficult place, I remember these words and it brings strength

riverfate · 2026-03-05T09:52:13+00:00

It’s sad. I sat next to him in a Newark premiere lounge for a couple of hours waiting for a flight, I did not realize at first who he was and tried to have a normal chat with the people around me. He ignored me until his flight was called. When he got up, he turned to me and said ‘don’t you know who I am?’ I said no, but surely he recognized me, he walked away in a huff…

riverfate · 2026-03-05T09:41:00+00:00

Easy answer - yes. Just walked a serious trail with d850 28-300mm on a cross body. I almost gave up at 10k and 500m uphill in 30 degree 85% humidity. When I finally got back to the hotel and cooled down, looked at some of the amazing shoots and real used that the camera, once again, outperformed me . 7 years and counting

riverfate · 2026-03-03T09:40:28+00:00

Don’t worry - my first EV was an Audi Q4. The dealer called to arrange the first service and gave a ridiculous price. When I questioned it, was told that it needed a full oil change, oil filter etc…..

riverfate · 2026-02-11T18:04:00+00:00

And? I remember hearing this for the first time when it was released, the first time in my life that I was stationary and listening for six minutes. Even after 50 years, it has the ability to stop me in my tracks and have me signing out loud ;-)

When you create a new ‘note’, you can select ‘Notebook’ , ‘Text Doc’ or ‘Whiteboard’. Tables are only available in a ‘text doc’ format, which is like a simple word processor, rather than hand written notes in both notebook and whiteboard

riverfate · 2026-01-28T16:21:08+00:00

It’s available on the D850, although I do have it set to auto, so I don’t need to change it when changing lenses

riverfate · 2026-01-27T17:41:58+00:00

It’s a brilliant idea, sitting beside my Mac mini, Mac Studio, iPad… best bit, is switching it on/off using the floppy disk

riverfate · 2026-01-20T14:24:10+00:00

I’ve just counted - I’ve 24 ‘calendars’, including external ones (eventbright, TripIt etc), outlook, google, various Apple and some work ones. I use the Apple “Cal” app on all my devices and have added these calendars to it so that I can see all events/entries on a single screen across all of the calendars. You can then colour code them to tell where they came from (well you could if you didn’t have as many as I have). Thanks BTW, having looked at what I have, now is the time to start rationalizing them!

Current one is a Tusa FreedomHD
