    South Africa's anti-spam register is at an advanced stage of development, and consumers can now register

    Four ISPs are selling Cybersmart's symmetrical 1Gbps FTTH package for under R800 per month

    I hardly download big files. Occasionally the kids download big games on Playstation, and 100gb takes about an hour or so or maybe longer, but they'll just be on their phones while they wait. And i think this would be the scenario for most average household.

    HP Laptop possessed

    Some good news. I don't have bitlocker installed, but maybe HP does by default, so i just left TMP as is. After the re-install from cloud again, I updated the BIOS, on it's own, after the HP diagnostics software did not pickup a need to update. I also updated / installed a whole bunch of...

    HP Laptop possessed

    @kolaval I have tried that option in previous restore attempts. GPT suggested rather install drivers driver direct from Intel, not HP, which i did. but to no avail. I have also tried disabling hardware acceleration, but normally just disabled it via Tools->Options. No help there either...
