With Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon Join us on Mewe (https://mewe.com/join/techaddicts) Feedback, Fallout and Contributions Marshall Acton III in the house! Matthew Jones on De-Convergance (Ted mentioned on the last show in relation to FiiO’s PMP) I think you are right on the whole de-convergence thing Ted. I think the whole convergence experiment was great fun – and we’ve taken it a long way – but it has arguably has culminated in a “Jack of all trades/master of none” peak, where the separate components are prevented from reaching their full potential, or doing things that might improve their individual capabilities, if doing so doesn’t compliment the vision of the converged device. If you are right, and we start to focus more on standalone products, I think it can only be a good thing – and certainly more fun for the tech community!

Though not so convenient when I pop back over to England to see the family! Also, a tip… You can buy a prepaid sim with 12gb of data here in Spain for 10 euros but DON’T do it at the airport! You will be charged €30 for a €10 sim, when there are hundreds of little mobile stores in Barcelona (and I presume other cities) where you can nip in and pick one up for a third of the price. You just have to show your passport.   Double Stream Deck! Ted’s adventures with taxonomy! Mike Robins on How to Stop Windows From Powering Off Your USB Devices (https://www.howtogeek.com/296918/how-to-stop-windows-from-powering-off-your-usb-devices/) In a recent TechAddicts Podcast (26th June) there was a discussion about the Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse which would lose connection intermittently. I thought it worth reposting this reminder that often USB ports are 'powered down' by Windows - to save power, this behaviour can be turned off. So if anyone has a USB device that seems to go to sleep, it is worth checking that the USB ports / USB Hub are set to keep powered up at all times.
