Apologies for going off topic - but it is a subject that has become more prevalant. For full disclosure - I work for the NHS (and have for 30+ years) so am probably more in touch with the impact than the vast majority of people. My point is, that if people are not able to fully perform their...

I wonder for how long businesses will use this as an excuse and customers will accept it. I accept where supply chains are involved this will have an impact, but for services that don't require a physical product - I don't accept No reason for people to still be working from home and in a good...

Microphone jacks are usually 4 pin whereas Headphones are 3 pin (I think, could be the other way round) If your headset only has a single jack, then you will probably need a splitter so you have one into the green socket and another into the pink. I had loads of issues with this exact same...

Actually - on further investigation (actually looking): My monitors each have a spare HDMI port Would the monitors be "smart" enough to pick up an HDMI signal from the laptop (potentially) and DPi from my PC and display accordingly or would I have to manually switch the input on them ...

Yes - i saw that. Cant understand why the sudden jump in price for just a couple of extra ports/switches Guess I will have to chat with our IT department seems as though they will actually be paying (hopefully) Thanks @Martinr36

That's exactly what I need - Thanks :) Just need to find one with the facility to do 2 (PC) in -- 2 out (possibly 3 and 3 if I ever get round to buying that 3rd monitor) Or 1 (Laptop) in -- 2 (3 if poss) out

Hi all, I have had my system for just over 4 years now - all still running fine and dandy. However, with the world going mad in the last 18months, my employer is looking to include an element of WFH for us. They will provide a Laptop - but I want to find a way that will enable me to plug that...

Its dropped over here significantly in the last couple of weeks As we work our way through the vaccination program from oldest to youngest that was inevitable Younger people generally have a better chance of surviving - although "long covid" still needs to be considered. I think the big...

Had my second back in April - wife had her 2nd last week. Both AZ Some side effects but manageable and far better than the possible alternative Vaccination isn't just about protecting the individual, it's about protecting the people you come into contact as well I genuinely don't see any...

This is the bit I particularly find amusing: "Because new drivers and bios and windows updates ALWAYS fix stuffs" In my (limited?) experience, its installing drivers and updates that usually causes a lot of issues

Came across the following post on MSE forum - thought it might be entertaining. I don't even know where to start with separating truth from fiction: in my years of experience this always fixes 99% of common problems: 1:- always try installing latest drivers / bios / windows update Why...

Quick update - working fine now and I didn't even do anything - love (and hate) those solutions I think @SpyderTracks or @Scott were probably on the right tracks All hail the power of the PCSpecialist forum - just mention a problem and the PC fixes itself in fear :) Thanks all

not sure if this is the right place for this or even if anyone can help - but: up until this evening Outlook and my emails has been working with no issues - it's set with my @nhs.net account as I have been working from home off and on over the last year However, just now, I went to check my...

It will be in the actual router settings - I have a BT one and it's quite "easy" although I am not sure whether it will be on other routers

Could the router be trying to connect at 5GHz ? Might be worth swapping the channel to see if that helps anyway
