OBDII
I have one at home was around £100 but current car is non OBDII so had to spend £300 on a code reader.
Excellent value for money.
Sorted out ABS issues (which wheel has duff bearings). A few running issues, (worked out a few needed cleaning). Live data identified a few issues fixed over the years.
Chassis issues, worked out an ECU had blown outputs. Recalibrated £15 replacement.
Usual slush box issue of dodgy reverse on selector switch (why does every TC auto REGARDLESS* of make I have ever owned get selector switch issues), reset is quick and gears are back.
* Known include GM and ZF
A good code reader is an essential tool.

Re: Brilliant?
My TV is used a lot. Every day. It is on for quite a few hours per day.
So what does it get used for?
Day time gumpf my wife likes.
Me however, I watch up to 2 hours a day of TV, 90% of the time recorded, mainly BBC1 2 4 or C4, if not watching and want background noise BBC News 24.
But then I will also use the same TV to watch streaming TV, I really enjoyed Good Omens recently, and as a CHM fan The Grand Tour of course.
But the streaming box also has another trick, it does games, so I shoot aliens in the face more than I watch TV.
My TV gets plenty of use, just not all broadcast TV.

Heard some
I have heard them being done.
A company called Clickworker has assignments and quite a few have been for Microsoft and involve listening to difficult to understand or unusual voice commands.
A lot are accidental triggerings, but many are stupid questions, where a drunk asks a really random illogical question.
But I won't forget the Welsh chap asking for big gay dicks.

Re: Patel
It is not that she is a woman, but that she is not suitable.
I LIKE women, I also like having them in parliament, I also think that many people will look a lot more favourably at Theresa May now we have BoJo.
The women who do get the mickey taken are the ones promoted above their abilities like the current HS and the shadow HS. Mind you the PM and Leader Opposition are also promoted above their abilities.

Criminals and Terrorists
As I keep saying to death sentence supporters, are YOU prepared to be the mistake.
Look at that paedo who got the Police investigating lots of other people including gay MPs, mititary people, death cults and the like.
He was the criminal but his victims were treated like them.

Saving money can cost money
Someone I know always goes for cheapest he can, changed his internet from a reasonable company to the cheapest he can get. Then complains about a bad connection, people near him are getting fast speeds but they are using middle of road ISPs.
So he used his mobile phone as a hot spot, and it overheated.

Re: Samsung and crapware apps
And force ran
So it force stops something you do use so some of the compulsarywere can be ran.
So glad I did not pay for it, but so annoyed that its replacement will be infected as well.
Anyone want a new unused A6 still in box?
Boss said we paid a lot for it, yet before they bought them I let it be known I can't stand the Samsung compulsaryware.
If the next one is also junk I will take all 3 to a shop and swap for something with base Android, any recommendations for a mid range one?

BoJo the Clown thoughts
This MAY be interesting, a few people I know
1 - A left leaning person who wants to leave the EU, would never vote conservative, thinks BoJo is wonderful. (were a Blair fan)
2 - A right leaning person, voted Fartage at the EU elections, thinks BoJo is great.
3 - A centrist, remainer, thinks BoJo is an idiot. (normally goes LD)
4 - A soft right pro EU person, has voted for both Thatcher and Major governments, thinks the whole of ERG should be taken out and shot and BoJo used for target practice. (Likes Heseltine and Clarke)
5 & 6 - A veteran Labour voter, hates Corbyn chose farage party for EU and his wife also with anti Corbyn and anti EU sentiments voted Green (A Brexit fan voted for the chap off Hunted, Hagid Magid I think), not seen since BoJo selected so will ask when back at work.

Re: Joining the Lib Dems
Well done.
I found my EU vote was wasted though sadly, as I voted for Change UK*. Even got beaten by kippers.
I find "Pencil in a suit" very punchable and cannot understand how it can be in the same party as people like Heseltine, Major and co.
* Regional no 1 was local and I have met some of their family.

Re: Joining the Lib Dems
Thinking the same here.
But it has been infighting since forever, since pencil in a suits dad was an MP.
Where as to many the coalition put LD off the voting intentions, to many it put them on. My daughter is a LD supporter, she thought they did well in the coalition, so when she was of age, she chose them.
They understand why I have voted in the past, the older MPs with more individual experience than the whole of the cabinet.
They are no longer the home of politicians like Heseltine and Clarke and are now the home of idiots like BoJo and pencil in a suit.

Re: value of genuine content
I gave up of C4 online, my wife decided it was too much hassle to watch one programme.
My wife actually bothered to register BBC I player, we do use it.
C5 still works OK (so she can catch up on hotel programmes).
shITV is missing (but not missed).
A little bit of advice shITV, do a client for the best selling games console, I DO NOT watch TV on a telephone.
Yes I called and moaned, and told them it was a good job that so much of their output was shit. (I wanted to see one programme).
So for streaming, we only bother with BBC or C5, C4 have 27 catch up channels and no TV is that important that you actually have to subscribe.
I do subscribe to Amazon Prime though, they do do some good programmes.
We don't mean to poo-poo this, but... The Internet of S**t has literally arrived thanks to Pampers smart diapers
