Television anybody else on Saturday I really concentrate on lay for 6 months it's a kick of 12 to save the entrance to raise money I said I guess I'll just fail to see your full station 5 lines in 5 sports extra. This is a put out of 5 live on Dawson added by coming up in this hour we'll open up the phone lines for our techie for me right there over right now I'm being told just the right right now you know Ok you're up there open you Ok good fun I just didn't know I to ask 080-859-0969 extension 3 is number one I toss that and I off by heart 008-085-9096 extension 93 if you're not to join him if you've got a question of a technological nature then feel free to summon this Go room of your tele or your agent or your mobile phone your internet that kind of thing and if you play games on the computer here even that as well if there is anything you need to know of a techie nature anything you need to solve over tech in nature or anything you need advice or on a techie nature to give us a call 808-590-9693 extension 8 gadget insectivorous of those firms he took a good morning good morning good to speak to you get a hold of him at the edge of the sec to you know catch a detective on Twitter and Duncan says confirms he recommend a pair of reasonably priced bluetooth head for to please my buddies up to 60 pounds I'm looking for noise. Can's thing is I work in a loud environment also with a built in microphone so I cannot see my Android phone when not working I've seen many pairs some with the s.d. Card slot if as the nose of some with and without that feature the great you know I mean that's quite unusual features have a on a set of headphones and I see cards so that in fact the headphones then become a player a musical player put forward the playback of you don't have to connected to anything you've actually got the music on the s.d. Card so that's kind of a that an interesting unusual feature I guess I mean there's a lot of ways that you could go with this Logitech to some nice ones Plantronics do some nice ones I think with headphones it's a very personal choice you've got to think about for example what type you want want there are the ones that go right in the ear they're all the ones that sit over the year or the ones that sit you know in compass the whole day or as well so $33.00 types if you're an Apple user the airports are quite good not not because they're the pinnacle of quality but because they have some very good integration with Apple devices so that you get sort of you just basically switching more than they pair automatically and this quite a lot of faffing around I guess the other feature that I look for is or these considered looking for is ones on any one of us but can also work as wired headphone so if you plug a wire into them they commit that way otherwise they can do that wirelessly one of the reasons why that's important is that then if the battery dies you can still use them. So. I guess those are the things to look for the only other thing I'd say is buy them in such a way that you can return them if you know they're not to your liking because headphones are very personal choices that you not to be able to reach on the packaging because yes it destroys. Yeah and you know this is very very interesting because this this is a good point awesome because this points to a change that happened in consumer law. A couple of years ago now I guess where I mean we used to are sort of Rights not consumer rights getting stronger over the years that used to be the case that you could return anything bought at a distance you know this used to be called the Distance Selling Regulations used to be the case where you could return anything that you bought at a distance as to say online or over the phone or by mail order because you hadn't had a chance to look at it in a shop you had the right to return it I think for 14 days. For any reasons even if it didn't match your curtains for example you just change your mind and as long as you hadn't damaged the products you know that that was it you know it was understood that in order and the point of that law by the way was that you should have the ability to inspect the product in your own home. You know because you didn't get the ability to inspect it in a shop and as it turned out you know that turned out to be a superior way of buying things because especially with tech I mean how much really can you work out as to how good something is in a shop you know you see a t.v. Set in the shop it looks great because they've caught it and you know the colors ramped up and the brightness ramped up and everything there's you know shops have a special t.v. Sets of course special shop mode where you know display mode for selling it doesn't mean that's the way you want to watch it so that used to be the case you could return it for any reason the law then changed to say that you can return it if you bought at a distance as long as the product is recyclable in a basically as new condition and. Opinions are varied as to whether that just means the product or the product and the packaging most people would would would say I had the article but John Lewis I went you know beat about the bush John loose of going to extremely good returns policy were wrapped up in knots when I asked them this question and I went through members of staff like cornflakes and one was saying yes you know the packaging has to being you know pristine condition the other would say no it doesn't you know as the u.s. Does and so a lot of it comes down to you know the interpretation of their own policy much less the law so that a lot of products you can't actually get into without breaking a seal on the packaging and what the law allows them to do is yes they have to take it back but they can actually refund you less than 100 percent of the of the cost of the item because that's the amount they'll have to discount to buy to sell it some products you know you could lose it you know off or something it depends what it is that once you've broken the seal people won't necessarily want to buy it so you can buy either. An Amazon tablet hammers and seal the product do they thank you they said in a box with a record on it like you know the ones we you know like like the Amazon boxes when you get something from Amazon you tear the cardboard along the edge they do that so it's impossible to get to the product without damaging the package you should be allowed to get a refund for the change so that you had somebody to get into the packaging anyway Duncan is question it was his taxes and said look I can't call him because I'm at work but the head phones are one of the over here ones and and no I don't have a knife and I have an android right I think look at look at Logitech look at kit sound as well as is a good budget brand look at anker a m k e r those are sort of affordable. Good not excellent but good quality parts a good value for money if you want to look at the high and then look at something like pose b o s e Ok those those of the suggestions I would make but it's a very very personal choice not just because we we differ in what we think sounds good you know and the soul music that you like I mean you know. Some people if they listen to a bass heavy music you know you know certain types of pop music very heavy on the bass other people saying you know I like classical I needed to be you know even across the range so you know a cagey I guess if you want something a bit sort of Saddam and I don't mean that in some derogatory way but if you want something that's called a true good frequency response and since a k.g.b. Finds are quite good for that storm if you want the bass then look at Dr Dre for example Ok let's take a call Toby is with us in long long agent. Oh yeah I just read your favor Sigurd. When did right I think get radio not gentile back. When I was a contraction get tune into the different local radio stations and on the media why is. It so on to long ways the commission for Australia is a Test match you know that I'm on 5 so I go in the daytime you can be tuned in to get. A little background you go to get it. And it was good no fluid emotion to tell you what they wanted why Ok said So Toby there's I guess 2 parts to that so different types of radio waves always used to propagate radio signals am f.m. Longwave they have different properties so used to be called v.h.f. Very high frequency is very good for high quality stereo signals but because of because of the wavelength that used to carry that it's not necessarily great for. Long distances. Longer wavelengths which have a lower frequency so I am happy to have modulation or longwave those will go longer distances it's a bit like why fine in our home you get 2.4 and 5 gigahertz Why fight different frequencies they have different capabilities that the the the more energetic way through the high frequency wave is good at providing performance but in the short shorter area and the 2 points will give you perhaps less performance but has a better reach. Those waves also you mentioned nighttime certain waves bounce better off clouds and others so that's often why you can you can put sample which in the daytime as well yet you can pick ups Well let me just say China sure it's a nighttime in terms of that in terms of that. Morse code type thing that that's usually another radio source interfering with in the most common one is your mobile phone your mobile phone specially when you're on the move. No no no. I'm not so you know shows you're in the last 2 years right because I've not been out of commission I'm not a Mickey Mouse never. Shot full I'm not about 74 right. There's no engine back to its credit. Card because I think of killed. I mean the engine is 929 so I mean not going to take you 5 years. Been on this for 25 years and I think sometimes you get the stages where you know you're listening to some think really goes like a doctor call a new addition to him and I get it and then all of a. Caution and the most Lucian's is. Probably. The most common I mean that that is almost certainly radio interference or something is Brokaw staying at as a frequency that's similar and I don't mean the 7 you know the radio station would want you to be a piece about 20 Quitman most likely to be a mobile phone and mobile mobile phones which stuff is not as if you know everything you can imagine I mean to be honest with you where I am now. Yeah. I have a go it's made an actual way of life and there's nothing around here that you can. Interfere in. What I would say Tobey's You'd be surprised because you know things that make interference in radio frequency time s.a.v. Might normally so you get certain types of that and so forth that that will produce that sort of pulsing the sort of pulse the reason why I said mobile phones maybe we've all heard it you know we need but should we switch on your phone and sort of trying to communicate with the local cell tower and say mobile phone are you a cell tower and they do what's called handshaking those those sorts of sounds to make that so but what about type sounds on. Radio equipment but if it's not that it's it's almost certainly something else that you know aware of. And it's difficult because it's a radio receiver you can't really shield it from that easily I mean no point trying to wrap in tune for anything because the antenna is either going to pick it up when pick up the radio signal either have you tried the a.b.c. Radio. And I laugh about that ability to do the. Right shots cause. When you're laid off and the boat moves against the line she says just a sec. And going to show it cost me 75 times I'm only just about Trish you know but some of it would take a specially when you talk about interface. Then my mobile phone is a simple mobile phone it rings and I say. There's nothing else I have on it if you're honest I'm not quite meant on the boat could cause i don't have any computers or anything I'm 75 years old and may only contact but at. The moment my lady I. Don't wish to listen to her English on the radio from when I get all the different ones I got much again last stroke. I get all those different technologies that you know I go into for $5.00 and just got $5.00 and when I don't want. All the channels I can't get you Yeah Ok I'll listen to you all the time because you come across some terrific subjects and I listen to it I can even get bloody Australia. On I don't know why I say well there are you know cough it up but Ok Toby the company in principle 2 ways of approaching this either you get a radio receiver which is which is or a better quality I don't mean that to denigrate but some some radios are better rejecting interference from other sources than others or you try and pick it up in a different way so that could be d.a.p. Not not because the IP talking to fit with but because it uses different frequencies and you might get lucky and their audience be radios that use less battery power than than than the one that you describe the the older chipsets in India be were more power hungry than the new ones and new ones on a much more efficient you could you could look at that or you could even look at Internet streaming So if you've got sufficient data on a mobile phone and there's no ideal for the. The but then you can listen to pretty much everything and you're much less likely to suffer this those sorts of ordeal interference problems none of these solutions are a perfect but those of the choices you've got to try and receive it in a different way or if you intend to receiving in that way some receivers will do a better job than others of rejecting and hearing signals to be thank you Errol in West Superman a good morning Kyra good morning morning oh. I'm trying to have really. Some advice on h.t.m.l. Eat I've got I've got a Playstation 4. And I lead t.v. And open trying to get a 5 meter lead so I can. Lead into. Wireless. But every time I buy a lead for now saying that their 4 k. Are capable of carrying a 40 pound where. They keep breaking down so. They would work for about 10 minutes. The screen will start trickery and then black and stop working I'm wondering if there is. I can buy or where I can get. Good leads from yeah I mean. I'm sorry so I've looked on read up on things and some sites say there is no such thing as a 4 k. H.t.m.l. Eat. There are there must be because they don't play station one works but all the other ones I don't think yeah yeah I don't think as far as I recall I don't think there's anything proprietary about the edge to my cable on your on your Playstation I think stand at the should work in terms of them breaking down that sounds more like a quality issue. There is there's a lot of rubbish talked about h t m i cables and people talk about you know gold plated them and spending huge amounts of money you don't need to do that as in a Chimay cable is a digital connection it's either going to work you know as well as a as a $200.00 pound cable or it's not going to work at all so you know as long as it's as long as it's not so cheap that it literally fall in the palm bits of it coming off you know it should work. In terms of what you could try I mean. You know 5 meters isn't too long either it's not such a length that you'd expect the signal to degrade for h.d.m.i. So what I would suggest is you know a good cheap option might be something more Amazon basic So Amazon sell their own brand of products various types process all sorts of things under the Amazon basics brand name there are others but I'm just giving you you know one example that that's their brand it's I was in basics is one word it's There were fordable if you know happy with it they don't quibble about returning it either. And the guarantees pretty pretty you know they stand by it as well so I say that's a that's a good way to go because in my experience there that you know that's an example of products that are you know not expensive but still well enough built to do the job it's not what you're going to be plugging and unplugging every 5 minutes if you're going to you know just plug something in and leave it that you don't need to be spending a lot of money on a physically strong cable or one that sort of you know places and all the rest of it so I'd say go with that you can find other leads from Marketplace resellers on websites like Amazon as well I personally have bought them and they're following and you know sometimes you get in for a pound or something I think Ok I'll have a spare but I think you know something along the lines of the basics range it's probably going to suit you well yeah thanks for the call in South goes says give us the gadget man is there a way to make it can do paper white work as an audio book with things. I don't think it supports the I think the new Kindle. This supports it so it used to be that the early Kindles had speakers in them people don't remember this but some were talking when I say can do I'm talking about the. Display e-book readers who are not ones with bright colorful screens but the ones with these sort of eating displays of which the paper white is quieter you know squat high up in the range it's not the most basic model the original Kindles used to have speakers in them. And even little quality keyboards along the bottom we have time to start from keyboards for you they would do it the new ISIS the mark to our faces from going from 2017 that one doesn't have a speaker but it does have to so you can pair a pair of bluetooth headphones and do it that way but I find the best way of listening to audiobooks is is typically on a on a small phone if you own a small phone there is a Kindle app available both for Apple's i.s.o. I Phone and i Pad but also available for Android and all of those it's funny because the app which is free on a piece of 3rd party equipment. Actually has a fee feature baked in because all smartphones have got speakers and you can still pair them to Bluetooth if you want to but you don't have to they got they got speakers and I have to say that you know since I started listening to audiobooks I get through so many more books than I ever had time to read I find it's a great way of consuming books and they usually have a deal of the day I think where room you know they do one book for about 2 or 3 pounds for an audiobook at night 90 type of that's what they yeah for the e-books themselves but for the audiobooks you know the ones on the rating and that that you get that by the white Can I also just say that the text to speech that's built into devices now that's to say the ability to read an e-book nor would your book that's being forced by the act of but just a textual book that you can read on a device. The text to speech on those has improved immeasurably even in the last year or 2 and the best I've heard actually is on Alexei units one of our that's trying to take over our jobs well. But what I'm saying is because all your books tend to be more expensive you know special offers notwithstanding and not everything is available as an audiobook either they're all exceptions or you may already have a sort of few 100 people as well but you didn't know that you could do that but if you actually get something like you know your your I was an echo unit to read. The the e-book not be what your book actually does in a way that the listener ball is still not perfect but it's it's getting there and by the way they use ounce of intelligence there to study the way that we all speak when ever we give commands to not realize it's not the same No it's not it's not the same study but you know what it's good because it's it's very Once you've got the book Get real person truly in Bryce what you want but also what you want is basically to be employed by someone in their thoughts and to really look for the you know that's sort of say one approach that would probably solve the employment issue. Might be more expensive is there's robots that have to pay our taxes as well and keep us in some kind of give us some kind of dole money if they take about job well that is the one that you know there's a lot of serious talk about that some universal hate everyone gets that hate because really it's just the rich people anyway this thing that's was I don't want to get too political Judy in Brighton says And God says go harder which I love but only holds connections for 90 minutes and then goes bonkers bought the new batteries on e Bay a bit scared to fit in. Scared to fit it in case it's something else wrong and I leave everything what's a good Android replace these. Wow The cheapest way to do it is. Is to. Get an Amazon h.t.h. For example which is. Got their own version of Android and actually load propaganda joyed onto it but that needs a bit of technical know how other than that there are. Good devices from Samsung I think. Are rather good on the on the Android from they have a good build quality that sort of. Not quite as high as an Apple i Pad but not far off and can be a lot more affordable. One thing I would say to use you know that the benefit you can also get is to get one with a micro s.d. Card slot as well so that. If you get that so it doesn't matter if it's an affordable tablet with relatively little storage if it's got a micro s.d. Card slot you can put you know 128256 gigabytes of additional storage in there which is quite good if you want to store your music collection on your part consecration or something like that something that would normally fill up the internal memory own on the tablet so that's worth you know worth having but the reason I mention the Amazons is not because they're the you know the best build quality or whatever they're not but they really cheat because Amazon subsidize them because affectively what. When when with their operating system which is a version of Android their own sort of what they call Fork 2 version of Android the whole way it's designed is to promote all their content so the device basically becomes a something that invites you to listen to audiobooks read e-books buy things from Amazon then the whole thing is like a marketing device because if the software is good that way but actually you can with a better know how and you can just sell online you can actually make that into a standard Android bit of equipment and then what you've got is a bit of subsidized equipment cheap. Performing a generic Android tablet task let's get the latest model of headlines that is richer faster.

All right we've all seen no no concrete information on it other than she's gone off to hospital to be checked she's got a little bit of pain around her shoulders or she's talking and she she seems Ok and in good spirits Stoke and Scotland midfielder Charlie Adam says it was the right decision for the Scottish f.a. Chief executive still Regan to step down Regan had come under fire for Scotland's failure to qualify for the World Cup and for his handling of the recruitment of a new national coach to succeed Gordon Strachan the situation where no new manager over 3 months you know leave it to 3 months before you even think of a talk at this award was was incredible and. You know when you want to go there's always probably one reason why they don't go to kind of comfort finances a league on referee who aims to kick a player then send him off has been banned for 6 months the Tony shop fell to the ground when his heels were clipped apparently accidentally by non-so Diego Carlos during a match last month chaperoned kicked out of the player then booked him for a 2nd time p.c.b.

Fix it you have any idea what kind of people your you want to move my project directly into the room I need your friendships and infrastructure and there will be consequences good and bad. I mean I. Feel this conversations we've had about doing things without their families and will sit down fortunately. On b.b.c. I Player across the u.k. This is b.b.c. 5. It doesn't matter. If you are asking many questions about the issue that you have him over then do you give him a call or 590-969-3808 extension 59 or no and 6 than 3 you can text him and. Remain up all night at b.b.c. Dog is a charge you've. This robot business is a must he said Gee Absi spot on about those robots don't absolutely spot on so what side are you on. The side of the robots taking over the world to make in is all an implied or are you on the side of humanity we needs to know we got to know we got still not so you're assuming I'm not already robotized Well yeah I think I tell you what I think there's a certain inevitability about all this. There's been some quite serious studies done by people with university and in the commercial sector that the exact figures vary but the thrust of them is that in the next 20 how much should we tax them how much are we to well you know you have to also I mean you're bang on the money about all the possible solutions that people are looking for so what I was about to say was that the figures tends to suggest the projections suggest that maybe somewhere between 30 percent and half of all jobs will be lost to. Paste. Machinery in the next 20 years or so and and the difference with those is we used to certain jobs being taken over like you know assembly line and so forth but as artificial intelligence actually progress is and becomes more useful it will replace jobs that we don't normally think of as replaceable things like lawyers accountants some some sort of white collar jobs will will will will be going as well so. I'm fact there's a yes you can believe there's a there's a still up it's a couple of years old now but there's a b.b.c. . Link where if you can find it where you can actually put in different project professions and it will tell you how likely it is according to this study that your job will be replaced in the next 20 years and I'm like Joe There isn't a job I mean name me one jobs a robot car 11 joke that wrote a book on a bench really I think it's probably almost every job well but but there are ones are more so for example if you're if you're a you know. You know telephonist horse or you know telephone operator or something like that going for that that you want to be hasn't gone it will already got people to tell the sales going Oh that will go I have to say some radio broadcasters will go by the bar as well and you know which thankfully well not me but we've seen that we've seen it with music radio haven't we where you know human being. Brought in for half an hour to say this isn't that was and there's a drop in between the best radio Ok I get you have a mind for all the questions that people have and I just threw in that as a sort of mischievous little thing but let's get back to the questions if you don't mind from this as William says I'm listening to you in Thailand recently and I need my v.p.n. . Turned on to get b.b.c. Radio Yeah I wasn't Ok so b.b.c. Is funded. For the most part most of the output is funded by the license fee it's only the the b.b.c. Output that's meant for the broad which can carry up to toys and so in order for the people who pay for it to be the ones that are able to enjoy it the b.b.c. Try to restrict their output to people in the u.k. . And that's why it's a v.p.n. So it's a virtual private network and one of the features of v.p.n. Is that you can appear to be where you are not so you can use a v.p.n. From Thailand to appear as if you were in the u.k. Not advocating this I'm just stating a technical fact that one of the things that we peons to say spoofer your location so you appear to be somewhere else so someone in Thailand appears to be in the u.k. They can suddenly access u.k. Only services someone using a v.p.n. In the u.k. Well you can't do it with Hulu now but used to be have to have the Netflix I think used to be able to pretend you were in America and watch American who in America Netflix which is different so that's one of the reasons for having a v.p.n. There are more legitimate ones you know relating to. Security and privacy v.p.n. Is often used by business people and often used by people in Internet cafes who want to try to do something to secure themselves although it's not foolproof solution also used by people like journalists and political dissidents in unfriendly regimes. It's also a way of getting around 5 or so if you're in either you know China or all Russia where certain websites might be banned even you know access to You Tube or Facebook or something may be banned again one way around it is you sitting in that country you can appear to be where else and can we just had we go into the pin and we b.p.m. Is a service that uses there's a service provider who will provide you with that and route you to you know one of these other locations. The thing about B.P.'s is. They see everything that you do rather like your Internet service provider so you really need to know that you've got a trustworthy v.p.n. And the problem is that it's really hard to know who who's really trustworthy because there have been cases where there have been v.p.n. So we thought to be good turned out to be run by nation states that are just trying to collect information for from people who are quite keen to obscure their location to do see what I mean store honeypot type trap so what I would say is as a rule of thumb someone you once you pay for are generally more likely to be good but technically and in terms of security than the ones you don't like you need to go by reputation and you know recommendation I suppose but you need to don't think that's a good thing has crossed the problem that someone could be using a v.p.n. To be very happy with for years and still not know it. Is a honey trap or surely would make that movie as well Linda if they haven't already Linda working says question very easy I have a Sky Digibox that doesn't work anymore if I buy a 2nd and digibox can I use it to get the free channels or will I have to register it as mine to make one off yes so it depends what you want to do if you're talking about free channels then yes Sky box will pick up the free channels a lot people don't realize that they source they shut down their Sky subscription by the way something interesting happened last week with Sky for the 1st time they made all their content of valuable to customers that don't have a dish and that's kind of a recognition of the fact that you know they used to have this big advantage that they had all these dishes installed and this was the only way to get this premium content and now you get all these people coming along and providing you know t.v. Content via the Internet so they have recognized that fact and for the 1st time I think it was last week they made it so that you customer used to have to. But you no longer have to have a dish that's that's by the by so if you still got the dish but you've struck down the Scots guy subscription the Sky box either that one or another one should be able to pick up the free channels which are going to be then the equivalent of Freesat which is a bit like Freeview but with a slightly different mix of channels Failing that you can go for a 3rd party box I say the one of the better known manufacturers of those would be human x h u m a x and then you can get some really nice features you can get hottest recording still built into it because the thing is if you use a Sky box to receive these 3 channels yes you can do that but even if it's got hard drive built in and previously you were able to record without an Active Sky subscription the recording or even the playback of previously recorded material will not work whereas if you get 3rd party box like a humanist box and you get one with the recording capability then you can get one with 2 tuners and they will it will you know. Record in due time or stuff and all the rest of it so that's quite a nice way to do it. Just. Hold on to go grab the mike got one here. Whew Max f.t.p. 5030 with a one terabyte drive that's humor x f v p foxtrot Victor papa 5000 t. For tango and that is a good way of getting some real good functionality. Without having to have a Sky box but still making use of your of your satellites and Tom says some guidance on price is a space on a gaming p.c. For high spec flight sims D.C.'s 2.5 is the saving of building it myself with. I'm right Ok So gaming P.C.'s are you know computers are dedicated to or designed for gaming and gaming is one of the applications it sounds like a frivolous thing it's just gaming but actually modern games are really amongst the most resource intensive activities that we do on a computer I mean you know that bit of browsing a bit of e-mail isn't going to challenge any any modern p.c. At all any p.c. Can do that but you start staking out a modern game for resolution a high resolution lots of frames per 2nd and stuff and it will bring even though you know very good p.c. To it's knees so. What you want Ok so you don't build your own gaming p.c. To save money. Because by time you've done it is no real saving to you build it either because you like building stuff like that it's fun it's like having a Macand they're set all because you know enough about it that you want to choose you can pick your own components so you have pick your own graphics card or cards you have pick your processor and the type of ram and the speed of the you know the motherboard and those facilities. So that would be the reason to do it not for cost saving. The difficulty is this stuff has got really expensive recently for all of slightly unusual expensive usual reason the. The game the graphics cards inside these machines are also used by people who are doing mining of crypto currencies explain what I mean by that so you've heard of things like Bitcoin. Big coins and other walk all crypto currency sort of digital currencies are created on computers are running a program and the more the program runs and the faster it runs in the more programs you have running it the more these Bitcoins will cryptocurrency coins you can mint yourself with a digital process you don't physically produce according but you produce additional coin now and people do this they have farms of these banks and banks of these computers doing it and that the thing that does the processing is the graphics card because it turns out that the graphics cards a very good processes for general use as well if you program them right you can use them for that and because there's so much demand now from people who are trying to mind their own crypto currency it's pushed the price of the graphics cards up immeasurably I mean they've really gone up a lot in price so that can be another reason for buying one that's ready built because if you buy a graphics card now you're going to buy it at its current market value if you buy a machine with a built in you know high speed graphics card gaming card in that it would have been bought when the price of them was a little bit cheaper so actually that can be another reason to buy one ready built so I think that's the answer most people don't need to build their own there's lots of you know gaming P.C.'s are made and sold specifically as gaming p.c. But you just have to know your stuff because some of the stuff that's sold is going P.C.'s really isn't it just you know it's sort of average but not great John of shows she says how do I get my photos off my i Pad that I can no longer access to my new Android tablet. Ok so it depends on your settings if you've backed up the i Pad in the past and the photos will be either on the p.c. That you've backed them up to on the mac or you may have synchronize them with the cloud as well and depending on your settings some Apple devices will automatically send a picture and so to store the picture that you take not only on the device but also in an i Cloud account so you may find that you've got a complete set of your photos in the i Cloud account or or as a backup fading that obviously then otherwise you need to get the i Pad working sufficiently to get the photos off there sometimes even if they say the screen instead of the digitize is that that's the bit that responds to your touch on the screen. It's still possible to plug an i Pad into a p.c. And for the i Pad to appear on the p.c. As an external drive like an f. Drive or g. Drive or whatever it is and then you can literally copy the stuff across if it doesn't start synchronizing automatically with Itunes you can just copy across anyway so I thought I'd give that a go if the machine's not working look for backups if you haven't caught go back up when you can't locate a backup then try backing up and synchronizing it as long as machine powers up has a reasonable chance that it will sink noise with a p.c. Or Mac. Running i Tunes And Steve says I live in a basement flat never poor mobile reception one bar is very good just variable the can be used to signal one he yeah so this is still a problem as one of the frustrations I have that we you know we we talk about all these whiz bang features and you know 45 g. And all that sort of fast data and still you know we find it hard to make basic phone calls and use use of basic functions of our phone that are still you know sometimes at the level of 970 s. Landline so one of the technologies that can help this. Is to use your wife at home or in your office or wherever you are to supplement the signal when the signal is weak on the mobile phone network so this goes by slightly different names but the generic name is why fi calling and a lot of. Supplies including the offer it not only will not necessarily for all their customers it depends on what So deal that you're on sometimes but if you want to contract for example you can normally get why fight cording So what would happen then is that. If Essentially you start doing what's called Avaunt course so it's a bit like having a Skype call where you're using the Internet to make or receive a call but because it's integrated into the mobile phone service that you're paying for it it's it does in the background so for example your phone would still ring so you've got no signal at all but you've got wife I calling or you got poor signal and someone rings you on your mobile phone number your mobile phone will still ring as if it had been contacted by over the mobile phone network but actually it's being routed via the Internet equally if you make a call on your handset and you've got no signal but it's being routed as a as a wife I call then again the other person will see your phone number as if as if it was routed through through the mobile phone network and this is important and it will count towards your minutes in the same way as well so you just it's just using this wife eyes in the sister of technology you so that would be my suggestion just speak to he and ask them if they if they actually have a wife I call the option and it can be as simple as asking he's to switch it on and then changing the settings on your mobile phone to allow for a wife I calling and this is from another Steve this time Steve in Coventry I know Apple we're on about giving discounts on some new batteries I was wondering if my i Phone 6 s. Plus is covered Yeah everything from the 6 on the words so the 6 or 6 plus the success a success plus $77.00 classic cetera all of those are covered. Yes So so from I think the deals already in place of think it's check this by I think it's in place to tilt towards the end of the year and the deal is that if the $25.00 pounds you can place your battery one thing that you might be interested to know before we run into that is that the. Next revision of I.O.U.'s which will be which is Apple's operating system for i Pad and i Phone The next one will be or one of the future one soon will be the $11.00 and that will do 2 things one is it will give you a measurement of the health of your battery built into your device so will tell you you know it's working 80 percent full capacity because the idea is as you probably know with rechargeable batteries and not you need to Apple it's all the theme on batteries inside mobile phones after a while after a year or a couple 100 charges they start slowly to degrade and by that I mean that the maximum amount of charge they hold will reduce So maybe after a year with only hold 90 percent of what it held maybe after 2 years it might only be 70 percent and then eventually you won't have enough you know battery power to get you through to the end of the day for example that that's a normal process so I waste 11.3 will do 2 things it will 1st of all allow you to assess whether your problem is because your battery has deteriorated into what level it's deteriorated and the other thing is it will allow you to under what Apple very controversially and secretly did which is to slow down your machine when the when the battery starts to degrade in order to lengthen the battery life during the day and also stop it from switching itself off when it becomes overloaded by demands on the processor so you so there's 2 ways to bring an old degraded battery i Phone back back to back to full speed one is the best ways to change a battery 25 pounds if you go on i Phone 6 or later or the other way is to actually install $11.00 when it becomes available and switch off that thing that slow down your machine that will then mean you have less battery life in hours each day because the machines are running for pelts and in some cases it may mean that the machine may unexpectedly shut. Itself down. Because what what happens is when the battery degrade is not just the amount of charge it can hold but it's also the the maximum voltage that it can produce and because the process is in phones of call a lot more well a lot faster and more demanding. Sometimes if you have a leader load a processor with requests from programs it needs a full voltage and if it can't do it then it shuts itself down to protect itself and 2 can walk 5 Kevin says attempting to free Wi-Fi signal that I'm allowed to use but only get it in one room I would like to extend its range without involving the owner I've been why for The Root a u k y model AC 1200 but that's a go about it is illegal when he says he's allowed to. Do with us yeah I'll take him is what I'll ignore the bit about him not wanting to speak to the owner of it I don't know why that would be if it's if it's permitted but yeah they were they would take it on. As it's being described because I wouldn't I wouldn't obviously want to give him advice to anybody who's leeching someone else's wife by the way be very careful because free wife or I with which is you know typically may not even be locked down in terms of the security well. This is you know how can I explain your on a network with other people that you don't know the network itself could be set up as a honey trap you get these things are airports and things like that so you get someone you know in their in their bag has sets up a wife I hope spots and calls it free for the airport why file something like that and people start logging onto it then great free why 5 I only only to find that someone's actually done that so they can skim through your data that you're sending and receiving and try and steal your you know your passwords and your money and all the rest of it so that's by the way that's what again another reason why people use v.p.n. Says to provide a measure of protection in the home on public wife but. So there's that cabbie to be very careful any any publicly accessible wife I. There are there are tools available doesn't need you know rocket scientists to work it out that would allow anyone else in that vicinity to interrogate your machine and and what you're doing on your machine Yeah so be very careful about that I still think that you know if you have to use internet on the go it's better to use your your own data plan in use a cell network is not nothing's 100 percent but it's more secure than a than a public wife I got even the ones where you have to you know you're in a cafe and you also for the password and enter in because someone else may have also the same password and may still have access to that now to deal with the question which was how to extend it to not just the room so it sounds like you know a neighboring premises or something has got wife saw it's either protected or you have the password but the signal was to comes over the boundary wall doesn't extend through out your premises So there's various ways of extending that one way is to use what's called generically that is Home Plug technology that's to say where you you send the the the Internet signal around your home using the mains network the mains power network and home plugs come in pairs so one plugs into a main socket near the source or the router so in your case it would have a wife 5 receiver it would then take that wife I signal and send the internet along the mains wiring and it would pop out the other end where there's another mains Home Plug plug into the main socket which would then need to give you an ethernet connection that's to say the Internet socket to plug a cable into or it will produce wife at the far end that's one way of doing it and you know for that look at companies like devote a low d v I o l. T.p. Link they were to those sorts of products another type of product is a sort of wife or repeater so you put a repeater unit. In the room where you can pick up the signal and it basically puts the signal sends it on again so you know radio repeater which is tight signal just before and send it on it's a bit like you whispering in my ear and to be shouting and then the other person is just within earshot hearing and then shouting and possibly on that computer so that those are the sorts of technologies you can use the engine is referring back to know you can get mobile phone signal boosters but you fix an external wall with a cable going through the wall or window frame and piece the signal indoors that refers to the earlier quarter remember you wanted to live in the basement and didn't that's a good reason you should you can do that but those boosters often use your own Internet as well the wife I called and I alluded to is generally held to be a better solution in the modern solution than setting up your own sort of cellular hotspot in your kitchen and in the basement Well the numbers are going to join in and pose a question that you might have of an issue that's troubling you technology wise the number to call is 080-859-0963 extension 0 in up from my talking gadgets for another hour for.
