    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST over complicated DCS

    ok I really appreciate your responses...and they all seem to have their own pros and cons... problem with MSFS is that it is expensive and huge again, but if I run into the same problem as DCS then I will have bought something I won't really enjoy. I was rather hoping that someone would say...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST over complicated DCS

    Hi experts.. I have just upgraded my long overdue laptop, and now with windows 11 and quite a good spec, I thought I would try and get back into a flight simulator.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Network Hub/Switch

    So firstly I am testing internet speeds directly from the devices connected to the ports.. secondly, by mb/s I do mean Megabits per second. Each device connected has the same result, and as soon as I disconnect the device, to default to wifi, the retest more than doubles in speed. So the port...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Network Hub/Switch

    ok say £30 - £70, I am more interested in the port speeds being faster than 10mb/s. My internet speed is around 60-70mb/s, so 10mb/s on a wired port connection is lousy. Everything I look at has the same selling tactic, 10/100/1000 switch, without actually saying what the actual ports speeds...

    Hi all, I thought I was well up on this, being a network support engineer, but in trying to improve my network at home, I bought a small 8 port hub, in an effort to improve speeds over wifi. Expecting faster speeds than troubled wifi, I assumed the ports speeds, would be far better, but it...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Android auto maybe

    I have a problem in that I have a long term hire car, as part of my deal/package with my job. The problem is that out of all the hire cars I have had, which are changed every few months, this is the worst for radio reception. I prefer to listen to a particular radio station on my way to work...

    I have recently been told that my inherited email from a former ISP service is due to be chargeable as I am not their customer anymore.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST basic scripting

    I wondered if there was a way of using windows and basic text files to script functions. I used to use a vendor specific scripting tool called 'ARC', but I don't think this is around anymore. I was able to write scripts to automate functions, and collect results, but now this does not seem to...
