SSDs
by parthiban, 30-10-2017, 09:01 AM
I've noticed SSDs are now filtering into the market, with them being options when speccing some new computers. I was chatting to an IT guy a few weeks ago, but didn't get into much detail (mainly because I had had a few :drink
but he was saying that if you put windows on its own SSD using the hard drive just to store info, the whole machine will be so much faster.My questions are:
How true is that?
How easy is it to implement?
How much will it cost?
How reliable would a setup like this be?
Been considering upgrading to windows 7 in the next few months, so might try this as well if it sounds like a good idea.
This is a question for all the IT gurus out there

Bit of a bad day.
On the way to work in the morning and traffic opposite to the direction I was going was busy and slow.
I saw a police car in the traffic but I carried on as normal. Next thing I see in my rear view mirror he has turned his car round and shot off after me. He stays behind me and then puts on the blues and twos and pulls me over. Now I can't really think what I have done.
The Police officer comes over and says he stopped me because my front windows looked like they have been tinted! I mean surely there are more important things to be doing then pulling law abiding citizens for very minor offences. Gives me the lecture of limited visability etc. I said to him that actually I have never had any issues with visability and had the car for almost 4 years.
I have no grip with the Police Officer becuase he is only doing his job (and spent ages complementing my car :lol
, but was it really worth turning this car around in busy traffic just so he can give me a £30 fine for tints? The tints are 50% tints actually so yes are illegal but not blacked out and you can easily see in the car.Then on my way to my final appointment of the day I am on the M60 and take an exit that leads to traffic lights and a ****** VOSA van is in the left hand lane and has just pulled and asked a van to follow him. I am in the right hand lane so he can see me. Because the lights are red the guy in the VOSA van gets out and taps on my window and says my tints are illegal. I tell him I have already been done for them today and show him my fine on the passenger seat. He then goes and sits back in his van.
I am just annoyed that the law enforcment agencies have nothing better to do. I am taxed, MOT'd and insured. You would think that with Christmas coming up they would be rushed off there feet tackling CRIME!
Still atleast I have paid my bit for the Christmas do they are having :drink::drink:

Is customer service getting better?
by Saraj, 28-10-2017, 03:20 PM
Had a experiance at Argos which I thought you cant get better service.
I bought a USB pen drive from them yesterday and its not plug and play and would not work on my media adaptor on my tv.
So I took it back, but to my suprise I had not noticed on the receipt it states exempt from money back garuntee, so unless they was something wrong with it I could not return it.
Went in told them that I needed one which is plug and play and this aint so want to change it, she pointed out the receipt and said I couldnt, so I accepted couldnt agure with whats written and was about to walk out when she said give me one minute ill speak to my manager
expecting another no, she came back and said no problem, we can refund or change it !
Proper suprised, maybe the service is top class because its a brand new store in our town (its got catalouges and touch screen computers for searching for products !)
What do you think, is customer service getting better, I have noticed alot of companies are making an effect

Laptop advice
by parthiban, 28-10-2017, 07:56 AM
I don't mind if people want to start talking about macs, but the machine does need to be running windows so would need to satisfy firstly that the mac running windows has a significant improvement over a PC running windows, and also that it is worth the additional cost of having to buy windows on top........
All advice much appreciated
Laptop advice
by parthiban, 28-10-2017, 07:56 AMNeed to sort a laptop for my sis, is it still best to go for Sony? Have had good experiences with Sony laptops in the past, they've always been solidly built with quality components. However I am also tempted by the HP one with the touchscreen, will that be just as good or is it just a bit of a gimmick?

Google maps with navigation
by parthiban, 27-10-2017, 07:54 AM
Was looking it up on the web though and it looks fantastic, imagine how cool it is to combine navigation with satellite maps, or even better with streetview to actually see where you are going. Reviews say it does still feel like a free app, but all it will take is a hookup with Garmin or similar to turn it into a proper nav.
And if car manufacturers decide to buy in then that will be another step in Google's takeover.........

by parthiban, 27-10-2017, 07:54 AMGoogle maps updated itself a few days ago on my phone and now it includes a beta of google navigation but sadly its US only so can't test it out at the mo.

Web browser problems
by steviewevie, 27-10-2017, 07:04 AM
I'm running XP, and Internet Explorer wouldn't work if I opened up a second page - it came up with a Data Execution Prevention Error and closed. The first window is fine, but I can't open up a second window or tab. Firefox is fine but Google Chrome doesn't work at all - when I start it up it just hangs, won't go to any web pages.
Tried disabling all IE add-ons and restoring all advanced settings to default - no difference.
I tried System Restore to a checkpoint from yesterday and that failed. I don't hold out a lot of hope that it would help even if it worked though, since I thought it seemed more like DLL problems than just settings.
I removed IE 8 and went back to IE 7. That worked fine. Can't remember if I tried Google Chrome at the time though.
Reinstalled IE 8 via Windows Update - second window/tab still won't open. No DEP errors this time, window just flashes open for a second then closes.
Edit - I also removed and reinstalled Google Chrome, and Google Chrome still won't work.
Any ideas ?
