I never thought I'd get a mention. Thank you guys. I've been listening to the both of you since forever (Ted from PSC, Gareth since Mobile Tech Addicts) and have yet to be disappointed. I too am like Ted. I'm currently an RGN working in a private care home here in Barrow-in-Furness and have been a tech enthusiast since I got my Atari 800XL. I then moved on to the NES (not SNES) then all iterations of Gameboy. And you guys are all so relatable. I am always looking forward to both PSC and Tech Addicts for my daily walk to work. Keep up the great work and cheers from the North West! @CheapRetroGaming Thanks so much for sharing this interview, I've only watched a few videos from Slopes Game Room but I've enjoyed what I've seen thus far. For the podcast/interview here, I liked the different stories of what Daniel had gone through, such as almost getting scammed by the other channel, but thankfully avoiding that. I had also never heard of his epic Amico video that he had produced either. I hope to check it out later! Years ago I was really interested in that system because I liked the idea of the unique controller and the family friendly games, but of course, I have no interest in getting it now. It's sad how all that has panned out. Thanks again for your interview!

After listening with interest to your tales of tinkering with Linux, and as Windows was getting on my tits, I decided to give Linux a try. I used a piece of software on a USB called Ventoy. It allows you to put as many ISO files on a USB as you want without committing to any one operating system. I tried about 5 live Distros over the course of a week. It really is a tinkering dream. Distro-hopping is so addictive. It's like setting up a new phone then changing it again! I couldn't believe how advanced Linux has become. In the end I opted for Bazzite which is based on Fedora but geared towards gamers as I have a big Steam library. Every game just works as soon as downloaded. As Gareth said, there seems to be a decent software store with everything you need - and it all just works. Thanks guys for giving me a little nudge. Looking forward to your Linux special.

A couple of months ago the motherboard died. I wanted to record TV directly to one of my UNRAID servers up in the attic. Unfortunately, there are no TV aerial coax connections in the attic. I decided to buy this box. You can plug the HDHomeRun into your aerial in the lounge and use the other aerial connector to plug directly into the TV. The HD Homerun has an ethernet port so I can connect to another box somewhere on the network. Using Emby I can connect directly to the box to watch live TV. Emby on my UNRAID server supports HDHomeRun, so I can record TV programs using the schedule from the HDHomerun. I can watch Emby recordings from anywhere else on the planet that has WiFi and decent Internet access. HDHomeRun app on both Android and iOS that allows you to record programs and watch the recordings. Steve Litchfield on Why you (probably) don't need a VPN You're absolutely safe without a VPN. Every Internet-facing application accesses data over an already-secure connection. There's nothing bad guys could do even if they were to somehow intercept random batches of your over-the-air 1s and 0s. VPNs are OTT security. It will make activity significantly slower, because of extra encryption - pages will take longer to load, videos will buffer more. You just don't need a VPN. You really don't. Even in a dodgy cybercafe in Turkey. Your own encryption, built into your OS and applications, is quite enough.

Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon host a St. Patrick's Day Tech Addicts podcast discussing Voyager 1's latest "poke" from NASA and its minimal computer capacity. They talk about LocalSend, a cross-platform file-sharing tool, and consider diving into Linux. The episode also covers a range of tech topics from Samsung's new phones, a potential TikTok ban, to the latest in wearables and AI advancements. To be sure.

A DSN engineer helped decode this signal, which may contain clues to the source of the issue. There is hope! The computers aboard the Voyager probes each have 69.63 kilobytes of memory, total. That's about enough to store one average internet jpeg file. The probes' scientific data is encoded on old-fashioned digital 8-track tape machines. Once it's been transmitted to Earth, the spacecraft have to write over old data in order to have enough room for new observations. The Voyager machines are capable of executing about 81,000 instructions per second. The smartphone that is likely sitting in your pocket is probably about 7,500 times faster than that. They transmit their data back to Earth at 160 bits per second. A slow dial-up connection can deliver at least 20,000 bits per second. …and Kurt Kaufman on NASA Restores Communication with Ailing Voyager 1 (but it can't live forever)! ------------------- Ian Barton on LocalSend (14-minute YouTube Video) A Cross-Platform, Open Source Alternative to AirDrop and Quick Share.

I have a lot of books on Audible. I would like to download them in a format that is decrypted in case Audible goes "Mammaries skywards" in the future, or is taken over by another company that demands you pay for all your books again. I came across a free program called Libation. You can view it on GitHub and it can be installed on most operating systems. It has all sorts of filtering options and will download a postage stamp size icon. Note you can only download books that you have purchased from Audible. -------------- AJ Santos on What's Going On With Voyager 1? Future Looks Uncertain Voyager 1 is the furthest any human object has ever gone from Earth. It is now over 15 billion miles from our planet, flying through interstellar space. Since its launch in August 1977, the spacecraft has remained in contact with Earth, but over the last several months, that communication has become nonsensical.

My Chromebox is 16GB but when I started monitoring memory usage (using diagnostics) I never saw a point when I was using more than 8GB - this is since Google optimised Chrome and Chrome OS with recent updates. In the end I bought the i5 8GB Acer 516GE and it is highly recommended as a great all-rounder with a fab 16" screen in a virtually 15" and light, too. The only downside is battery life where I tend to get around 6 hours compared to 10 or more on other Chromebooks - the price you pay for the spec I guess. £849 from Acer News, Mews and Views Bad news for BitLocker users — its encryption can be cracked remarkable easily Spiral-shaped lens provides clear vision at a range of distances and lighting conditions 31 year old sea-floor generator tech will soon begin commercial operation Microsoft is killing off Publisher in 2026 Hardline on the hardware Samsung will re-release the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite tablet in 2024 - Official site Acer Chromebox Mini debuts as a fanless mini PC with ChromeOS New Chromebook ‘Xol' emerges with an Assistant Key built in Easy-to-Repair Knockoff of Original iPod is Crowdfunding Smash The Wearables Watch Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro global pricing revealed ahead of launch Moto Watch 40 announced Phone Zone The first leaked Google Pixel Fold 2 image shows an extra camera and a new design HMD Global confirms there will be new Nokia phones You'll be able to use your Samsung Galaxy phone as your PC's webcam from March The Name of the Game Microsoft Store now lets you instantly try games without downloading them Microsoft is considering launching a number of Xbox-exclusive games on PlayStation - Starfield and Indy are NOT coming to PS5 Flap your trap about an App Microsoft's CCleaner-like PC Manager for Windows 10 and 11 is now widely available via the Store Microsoft's brand new PC Manager could actually slow down your PC Copilot will soon explain what you're reading in Notepad Audacity gets AI transcription and noise suppression courtesy of Intel OpenVINO plug-ins This fantastic File Explorer alternative now has its own list view YouTube's new Shorts feature is a direct attack on TikTok OpenAI's new Sora text-to-video model can make shockingly realistic content - Marques Brownlee's 12 Minute YouTube Video Google Gallows & Chrome Coroner Google Chrome's Android-like media player is just about ready Google One now has more than 100 million subscribers Google's Reading Mode app now works in Gmail and social media apps Hate replying to emails?

I can report that the A8 is excellent for all of these on its clear and bright 10.5" LCD screen. Audio quality is very good on its four Dolby Atmos speakers. There's no booming bass but it's definitely loud enough when watching music and concert videos and there's a 3.5mm jack. Battery is pretty decent, 7040mAh. I could go a whole week with light use. 64GB I've filled already but there is an SD card slot. My gaming is mostly puzzles so I'm not pushing the graphics capabilities of its Unisoc Tiger T618 (12nm) Octa-core processor. Build quality has proved to be good so far. It's been in a folding case since day one. But even naked, its 508g 6.9 mm thick body feels very sturdy in the hand. The back does warm up a bit during a long video viewing session but no real problem. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and at under £170. I would highly recommend this tablet for everyday use. You're getting a whole lot of tablet for a budget price. Tech Addicts Review ------------------ Xerxes Hodivala on Samsung Store at Kings Cross It's a beautiful space with all their current products on display. I had to get my Fold 4 repaired under warranty. The S-Pen digitiser had failed on each side of the crease. They are going to replace the digitiser, inner screen, metal frame, hinge and both batteries as part of the service. It will basically be a new device when I get it back. The experience was first rate, as good as customer service at an Apple Store. This was actually the reason why I decided on a Samsung rather than a Pixel or OnePlus for my first folding device.

Wonder The (re)learning curve has been executed brilliantly well to get back up to scratch with functions. It's very pretty but very childish. The enforced 5 minutes at the start is annoying having to wait and read and watch all the clap-trap before you get to actually play at all. The constant text pop-ups are annoying too. Hopefully they go away in time and as you get further in. The gameplay though is super. I got through the first castle now. The controller is a bit annoying using the Switch Lite as the right raised joystick thingie is in the way of my thumb hitting multiple buttons on A, B, X, Y like I used to on the SNES controller. Overall though it's fabulous, fun and 2D nostalgic. A masterstroke by Nintendo. I think this will sell huge for xmas, especially for Japanese kids.   Jeremy Harpham on Google Chromebook Update Extension This was mentioned on a recent Tech Addicts podcast, that Google was extending support of various Chromebooks with up to 10 years of Chrome OS updates.

I started my NAS journey some years ago. I use it extensively and most of my services run in Docker. I suggest you look at Nextcloud rather than using the built-in Synology services. Nextcloud is open source and free to use. It provides a cloud file service like Google Drive but also hosts your contacts and calendars which can then be synced through CalDAV and CardDAV to ask your other devices like phone, tablet, computers etc.. If you set up OnlyOffice you can edit and create MS compatible documents through a web browser, again on any device. There are many apps you can install from with Nextcloud too.. https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-nextcloud-on-your-synology-nas/ Marius has lots of tutorials for installing all manner of things on a Synology NAS. If you need any more help or advice please get in touch! Ian Barton on BackupPC: Open Source Backup to disk This is very useful for backing up your data to other computers/servers locally. It can also backup to servers that are accessible remotely. I backup my important data from my main computer to a couple of local servers. You can configure it to keep incremental backups, so you can roll back to an earlier version of documents/spreadsheets/etc. It's compatible with most operating systems. Since the system is so flexible it does take some time to configure and requires tinkering with the Apache web server setup. Since my complaint of referencing “the phone show”, I feel that every show there is a mention of or comment when phones are discussed. Just to make me feel more apologetic could you make reference to “Mr Wilmot”, (the old top gear), that way I will know when you're ridiculing me even further! Keep up the good work, love all the shows / podcasts but this is my favourite one by far! Regards Paul Hardline on the hardware The Price of a Pixel Fold on Contract - The BEST deals!

They Actually Cost More to Run Comments from various members of our MeWe Group… Batteries are an environmental disaster waiting to happen - they are likely to need replacing ⅔ times during the life of the car. Emissions caused by the manufacturing process makes it worse for the planet. Is Hydrogen a better eco-solution? It's heavy and needs robust storage arrangements. Did we know that there's 20% VAT on Public Charging (but only 5% at home)? General opinion is that we're going the right way, but much work needed still. -------------------- Mike Shwartz on the Audio Pro Addon C5A Multiroom Smart Speaker Never mind your Marshalls & your Sonos speakers, this C5A from Audio Pro (Swedish design) takes the prize for audio quality. Take my word for it, I'm a BBC sound engineer! It has internet radio, Bluetooth &  Alexa built-in - and they can be doubled-up as a stereo pair with the app or just a mono multi-room setup. They have 4 preset buttons for your favourite radio stations and phono & 3.5mm line inputs. WiFi or wired ethernet. The speaker is actually stereo for the tweeters only. Position it nicely in the room and the bass is unbelievable! Top-end is crisp too. Really Hi-Fidelity! The app has bass & treble controls if you need them. Very highly recommended.
