Pocster Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Ummm and ahhhh HA software is raspberry pi or PC based . The front end designer though is windows based . I tried I really tried to ‘accept’ windows in VM on my i7 Mac . I can’t do it - moving the mouse is making me weep . So ! For not much cash went for a INTEL I7 10TH GEN NUC Plenty of power for HA ; also designer software will run . Now at least I can move the mouse pointer in a Windows environment without swearing ( as much ) . Order placed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By vastly improving the inefficient Bolton and Watt steam engine. This made mining more profitable and allowed people like Humphrey Davy to develope chemistry and physics quickly. This led to the development of electrical systems used by Marconi, who sent the first transatlantic radio signals from Cornwall, which also had the main global telegraph network. So if you need something done, get a moaning, pasty munching Cornish to do it. And, we did not need slave labour like Bristol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was trying so hard to be balanced) I think getting my stuff to work and communicate will be infinitely easier than your satirical comparison. After all in my world I am the dictator . If one of the 27 devices doesn’t agree it goes in the bin . Sending a firm message that disobedience will not be tolerated . They will be ruled with an iron fist and I can do as I wish with or without their support . Indeed I hold the trump card . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
