Whats it like using a big TV like that as a monitor, im thinking of doing away with my 24" and getting a 42" 1080p tv as monitor.

Not bad actually, I had a 26in but I wanted larger. 30in are like 1000+$, so why not go TV size... I got this 42in 120hz Vizio for 600$, can't beat that.. Btw I use HDMI for Video signal from computer. Only thing I notice is the colors arn't exactly the same when using a PC Monitor. IE: the colors are deeper, it could just be how I have it configured. I watch alot of movies so its color corrected for that.

24" is not big enough? :blink:

Never, im getting bigger come Black Friday heh.

Not if you only have one :p

Sadly my two 24" monitors no longer match - as one died 10 months after purchase and was a discontinued product so they couldn't replace for an identical - they even offered me a refund but nowhere was selling them any more.

I'm mid way through doing a big tidy up today... I should have took pics before I started as it will be quite drastically different (currently my pc is "thrown" on the desk as needed to get working asap at the time, its also a conglomeration of years of parts collated in all manner of ways.... just finished diassembling a keyboard to clean out and now it looks like new - really pleased as the buttons have become softer agin.

I will have to get pics up once done - other tasks mid way done include:

Complete drive clear of old Win7 and fresh install now Windows 7 now released.

Removing hard drives from WD MyBooks - and inserting internally.

Tidying up internal cabling, and also external cabling (getting rid off power cables to by scrapping WD external drive, also moving pc position, and repositioning speakers and subs and everything else.

A tip if anyone has a precious but old and dirty mouse mat they want to give new life to.... I have a "fabric" style one with an image on it, as it was soo filthy I risked cleaning it with Vanish Carpet Cleaning Foam - within a minute it looked almost like new and no colour damage at all! its quite obvious as its light grey colour mostly - or is once moreagain! Its a few years old but looks great again - im so pleased.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
