Will high end GPUs be sold out forever?
The 4090 was released 2 years ago and it's still impossible to get one without buying second hand or resale from scalpers with a 400% price margin.

Panasonic TV not playing sound from devices plugged in via HDMI
Thought it was Virgin box initially but just plugged in a Fire stick to another HDMI port (and tried both in all of the three ports) and none have any sound. Using the native Freeview/apps installed in the TV means sound works perfectly. It's via an external Samsung soundbar and nothing else had changed. TV was new…

Lappie was connecting to WiFi fine until yesterday, until it started dropping out - 'not connected', but I could usually persuade it to connect again. Tried the 'power management' trick so the laptop cannot cut power from the…

Smart TV Problem
I have a 5 year old Sony smart TV and it works fine as a TV and I can also use pre-installed apps such as Youtube without difficulty, so I assume that the internet connection to it is ok. In fact you can do a dignostic check to see if that is ok, which I did and it reported no problems. I also did 3 internet speed checks…

2 and a half grand for a 5090.
This is just getting silly now. I have a pretty decent gaming rig and my entire build was less than this. Think I'll be sticking with my 4070 for the next 5+ years then.
