I wouldn't even bother, I'd wang it in a skip and fit a new one.

They don't do different levels, they just certify you for different scopes, so I've got domestic, commercial 3 phase, 3rd party cert etc. I could just have domestic and be the same as a DI, but the gist is you are just 'approved' as long as you tick at least one box and have the relevant...

First thing would be switch energy suppliers. No outlay and instant savings.

I went to do a job a while back and there was a police van parked across the lane so the residents couldn't get in or out and I couldn't get to the job. I just blocked the police van in and left it (admittedly after phoning them up and telling them they were in the way).

Not really, Waterfox is just Firefox recompiled as 64 bit, there is literally no difference, apart from the updates sometimes stop working and you are often behind the main Firefox stable branch. There is no benefit to running Waterfox really, not all plugins and addons work with it, and it...

Great news!

Hardware acceleration is effectively handing off some of the video processing to the graphics hardware rather than trying to do it all itself. This is one of the things that get disabled in safe mode. It is probably some driver issue.

I can't tell you what that does for me as I don't do Facebook. When you say it crashes, what does it do? Do you get the Mozilla Crash Reporter pop up or does it just hang/close? In the Firefox settings you should be able to enable the Crash Reporter if it isn't enabled. This should give us some...

Took me a while to work out what you were on about specifically. I don't know why anyone else bothers. I want to notify, that is all. Cheapest way to do it, joining the NIC (or any other scheme) would offer me no benefit at all in the slightest. I will say this about E-Cert, it is total...

As I said above, it is a plugin not an addon. Safe mode disables more than just add-ons, it disables anything that isn't strictly necessary. Assuming you haven't used anything specific it is probably using the Windows Media Player plugin. You can either upgrade that with the link above and see...

Again, you have got this backwards. 1667Ω is not "what someone decided in the past". Have a look at where that figure comes from.

If it is in and working I would probably service it but as soon as it needs anything adding/removing/replacing I would probably look at quoting for a replacement.

Hmm, not as terrible as I was expecting! It's just a Windows update. It's more than likely an issue with your browser plugin, and/or the actual media player itself. I'm guessing you'd be using whatever is default on the laptop? The above update may or may not fix the issue, but it shouldn't...

I think if I wanted to have a bad time with a computer I would put 8.1 on it, install Norton and Firefox and then try to do normal things. What sort of computer are we talking about here? I'd imagine the specs aren't great (low memory) and you simply have 3 memory hogs. Firefox is just...

You would be better off switching suppliers. I pay about 10p (or 10.something anyway) per kWh for a commercial unit, and I use a hell of a lot less than you do. Doing that would save you 1k per year without even laying anything out.

I think you've got that a bit jumbled up. TT's have an RCD because Ze is high. You could do that, technically it's not wrong but it's a bit of a half arsed way of doing it. If you have to do that then you are just masking a problem. The Ze on TT is higher, so we allow for that. The Ze on PME...

My point was, there are hundreds of thousands of users of IPB, some have hundreds and thousands of posts per day and the admins are constantly tweaking and fixing things. This forum is neither of those things, there is no reason to be on beta here. None of the bugs I have reported here (or on...

And that brought back memories of me and an apprentice in a cupboard the size of an airing cupboard with a 95mm² shaped 4 core, a 2 part hydraulic crimper (that leaked), a busbar and an MG DB. It was pretty cosy.

Why not just use the stable working version? I cannot think of a worse bunch to inflict a beta version on!

I don't like to go on about it, but this forum software is a bit thick at times.
