  1. Take a look at Shiply. They offer the job to people "going that way" and can be far cheaper than other options. Although you would be sharing with unknown items.
  2. Could be worse! Three users never got the warning.
  3. "Emergency alerts work on all 4G and 5G phone networks and will not include older "non-smart" phones, the government said." So people who are "older" who will most likely not have a smart phone will not get the alert! There's the pit fall of a classic government half assed job. 👏
  4. I have a similar home/ office setup as this guy and also did something similar. Thankfully never had to use it. Currently have Virgin Medias 1gig full fibre new network setup fibre to the premises.
  5. Thats all very well but ATMs wont be working so no cash!
  6. Seems that Apple do all the messages etc for you: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213426 Dial 911, if it can't connect via any network it will offer you the ability to send an SMS to 911 via satellite with all your needed info on where you are etc. Looks to be more for out in the wilderness than a town or city with no service because of storms etc.
  7. As a former Zettle/ Paypal employee who did some testing between us and competitors the SumUp machines are worse... Also we broke one just knocking off a desk onto a carpeted floor... Not a good look. Their readers are poor for those with low or poor visibility as they are just a sheet of glass with no defined buttons. The Zettle app is far more comprehensive in features and more to come! The only thing that SumUp has for it is the cost but if you are putting a decent card volume though then Zettle could match it or beat it if you ask! Especially if you're a registered charity! The issues you have been experiencing sound like an issue with the tablet than the readers themselves. If you have more up to date iPads you might find the issues disappear! Although what readers are you using? What colour is the wee flag? Green or Blue? *theses are my own personal thoughts on the readers and services while I was employed with Zettle/ Paypal for a while I am no longer working for them and the above is my own personal judgement after testing.
  8. All very well but how fast do they update via a Zero88 desk? I have tried something similar with a 3rd party DMX to Hue via the Hue bridge and unless you only ever do fades and don't mind a considerable delay then they are useless for live productions. Even using them with the app they are painfully slow to update.
  9. Anyone got a UK supplier of the foam driver surrounds for a pair of JBL Control 1s? I got a pair here that have no foam left on them and they work fine other than that. I can find stuff from Europe or the US but the postage is an arm, leg and two kidneys for a £5 part! Worst case scenario is a new pair of drivers but that would make the deal I got not any better than buying new so unless someone has a pair kicking about then I would rather refoam what I have. Cheers Callum
  10. Thanks everyone for their input. Seems its a "your results may very" so I am going to have to just play about and see what happens when the kit arrives. I will try something passive as a starting point and see how I get on avoids the need for powering and extra bits.
  11. Being budget conscious and looking at ways of making life easier I am looking at using something like this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/labgear-1-way-combiner-splitter/49019 to combine two 863 - 865 MHz radio mics into one pair of standard radio mic receiver aerials or paddles when needed. I would get the proper splitter but seems a huge over kill for two units in the one rack! Feel free to tell me I'm a total plank for thinking that this is a good idea as I am no RF expert! 🙂
  12. These are Maplin specials so finding out any info on them will be near impossible! Best of luck in trying to fix them but I would say buying something newer would be cheaper in the long term.
  13. I will 4th the recommendation of Tinkercad! Its stupidly simple to use! For printing You will be cheaper long term to buy your own than have someone else do it. You can pick up a Creality Ender 3 V2 for £200-£300 (The printer I have) and print off 5 times the amount vs somewhere like 3DHubs!
  14. https://www.nme.com/news/music/government-announces-1-57-billion-support-package-for-uk-arts-industries-2701834 Possible light at the end of the tunnel for the industry or it could be a train...
