This is the 'Rig Of Gods', aptly named by a drunken housemate on philosopher night (nostradamus show on TV, he gets wasted to it) Its a P3 Coppermine 735mHz that I overclocked to 810mHz, its down to 800 now because of some heat issues. Its a pretty nice machine with 512mb PC133 RAM, 35gb combined HDD space and a 128mb nVidia GeForceMX 4000 graphics card (christmas present, Im not complaining) Add in a Cambridge SoundWorks 4.1 surround speakers and a 17" Flatscreen Philips CRT monitor and you have a great, cheap, useful PC to use. And for all of you who ooh and ahh of the LCD and Plasma TV's, never forget your roots! I found this sucker beside the road, a box full of good tubes too. Works like magic.

what keyboard are you using?  The new one, the one on the right?

I'm using the Logitech DiNovo set. The one with the small laptop mouse. I got the MX1000 mouse separately (before the DiNovo media desktop). The DiNovo media desktop includes the MX 900 mouse, which isn't quite the MX 1000.

Thanks for a fast response.

The mx900 has its own BT cradle to connect to the pc, right. Is it(keyboard) using the same cradle to connect to the pc or its own usb wireless connector? This is a stupid question but how do you charge the battery?

The MX 700, 900, 1000 mice all connect to the PC using a cradle. The cradle is also where the mouse recharges.

The DiNovo wireless set that I have connects using a USB transmitter, which I keep close with the included extension. HOWEVER, if you have the DiNovo wireless desktop, then you just have the cradle to connect to the PC, which works for both the keyboard and mouse, and also charges the mouse. The keyboard on both sets use AA batteries.

correct me if Im wrong but the mx900 uses bluetooth, while the mx700 and mx1000 uses a different kind of wireless connection, right? Coz when I was searching for a BT mouse, the mx900 is the only one that shows.

Correct. The MX900 is a bluetooth mouse, while the other two are standard wireless. However, the MX1000 is a laser mouse.

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
