    [Technology] Laptops for kids

    Thanks everyone. I suddenly had a thought - i revisited our parental controls a few days ago and increased the settings. on looking into it in depth Isaw that 'file sharing' was blocked. Customising controls to allow file sharing seems to have sorted it. Thanks so much for trying to help.It was...

    clicking on the file on the top image just returns the error shown below... It's the same on both machines. I'm sure it worked on the day we got them but since then nothing. My laptop opens the files immediately, but i need to work myself!

    hi, we now have 2 chromebooks but i'm really struggling with them. ironically it seems as though, despite being chrome/google, we cannot open anything on Google Drive meaning that my kids still cant do their classwork. we can get into Google Classrooms fine, but cant open any files as i get a...

    Trump

    Anyone else think that Trump is looking to start his own party, a la Farage with UKIP/Brexit. A party with a position on the far right, looking to split the republican vote to the degree where they have to shift their policy in order to stay alive. And Trump claims his victory...

    [Help] Wood Burners - price and installation advice

    In terms of advice, get a mate who is a chimney sweep:). Mine pointed me in the direction of a bargain price stove, and did all the fitting (plate, flue etc) - whole thing came to around £1200.

    [Help] Wood Burners - price and installation advice

    Absolutely love ours. Had it 5 years now. Don't use it everyday, only on cold weekends, and even them not each day. Yes they are not the most eco friendly and, evidently, healthy, but everything in small doses. Of course, if you find radiators charming, fill your boots.

    [Offers] Talk Radio removed from Youtube....

    She has a point though. Can you imagine the carnage if it was hundreds of black activists storming Capitol Hill? They'd have been slaughtered.

    as a technophobe, that scares the hell out of me! Sorry, when you say 'full options' does that mean some areas of functionality, or misses complete packages?

    Can you use office on a chromebook? My 12 year old insists they need it (powerpoint etc) I really cant tell by reading the reviews, so i'm guessing not.

    [Technology] Laptops for kids

    Morning, Given the announcement last night my wife and I have decided to bite the bullet and buy laptops for our kids. I'm probably not the only person thinking along similar lines. I have 3 children - 14,12 and 9 and my only thought is that its probably best to get them all the same machine...

    Official Running Thread

    really chuffed with this, especially following the christmas period where I slacked off a little. It's my furthest to date (still no speed awards being won here!) I'm hoping to do my first ever 10 miler before the end of January, plus I've signed up for the Strava 100km January challenge.
