I'm tossing up which graphics monitor (tablet) to get for my daughter's 20th. I'm not flush with cash, so Cintiq is out. I heard my daughter talking to a friend saying she loved the …
Long story short— had to do a reset of the tablet. All went well. However, it's missing drivers? I did the reset thinking it would fix it if I just reset the thing, but sadly, no. This …

Anyone here moved to Mebank, and if so, how are they? I'm tired of ANZ. My accounts earn nothing and our local branch has been removed so I have to do everything online or at the post office …
So, I'm looking for a good board but it'll mainly be a test bed. I don't want cr*p— but i don't want to break the tiny bank I have. I'm not fussed AMD/Intel— …
Ive been looking and can't find anything. Is it just not possible? Plenty of B, or B+M, but no "M-slot", only? Why not? Anyone know of an enclosure that works? Thanks!

Okay- here goes! We moved last July to a new place which had just had FTTN hooked up as we got there. Prior, we were ADSL2 using a TP-Link Archer D7 modem/router. All's well, & though not …
