Are software updates not the spares parts in that analogy? They're not free to produce at all. Granted third parties are not able to maintain old software to the same extent as old cars due to the way intelectual property las is set up.

I think expecting 20 years of service for the price of one copy of windows is a little unfair, assuming say £100 for the licence that's just £5 a year. Just because the business as a whole is profitable, doesn't mean they should therefore make a huge loss on windows servicing. Also, you could...

Very nice, also that Esprit is awesome. Slightly envious.

Why not fibre? Complexity, cost, the fact that everything has an rj45 so you need to convert to copper anyway. For a home network I'm not seeing the advantages.

You an attach it, but then it isn't a cat 7 system and is likely to perform much like a cat 6 system but for more money.

I use 502, no complaints.

I would just use standard wood glue, so of those, Titebond 3. You're going to have huge joining surfaces though, so almost anything will be fine.

If I were cabling now I'd put cat 6 in conduit so you can replace it by pulling new cables in the future. Cat 7 is poorly supported and uses different connectors so isn't going to be an easy fit compared to 6.

Correct, any live TV from any source means you need a licence. I've not had a licence for years, I don't watch much TV and what little I do watch is from Netflix or the like.

I have the same spray gun based off Peter's review in his videos. I'm very impressed - I got an excellent finish with very little practice with thinned acrylic eggshell. It really is so straightforward I don't know why I didn't try it before. As mentioned ear defenders and dust mask (I'd also...

Do you have any evidence that everybody used them and didn't use water stones? Or is "everybody" in this context actually just "you"?

Water stones date back to Roman times at the least. I'm not sure I'd call that relatively recent. Also DMT were founded in the 70s so there must have been a market for diamond plates at least back to then.

In fairness they don't legally have to refund you - if they want to repair or replace then they have satisfied their obligation under the law (assuming the repair or replacement is of the same quality as a new item should be). Also if they're now doing nothing, you can always get your card...

Make the holes in the plywood first. Then hold the plywood to the wall and tap screws or similar through the holes to mark the wall. You can get a little spray marking chalk that will shoot through holes as well which is good for marking blocks.

Why oil and shellac? I'd be tempted to just go for shellac alone.

Yes I did, but given electricity is about 4 times more expensive than gas, why heat your house with electricity using a dehumidifier when you could heat the intake air using your central heating for less? I'm not sure how getting part of your heat from electricity rather than gas is supposed to...

Given how much cheaper gas is than electricity, I think I'd rather fire the boiler for a PIV system than run a dehumidifier.

It's always the way, those with the least to complain about are the loudest.

A pair of safety specs is handy to stop roller spray getting in your eyes too.

I'm in the same career I've been aiming at since childhood - computer game programmer. I still enjoy it and the pay and conditions are pretty good overall.
