    Tough decisions

    I think it's the same with a lot of "modern classic" stuff TBH, if you get the best low mileage example that you can then you'd frankly be mad to destroy the one thing which makes it valuable/special by actually using the thing. I've always felt that unless you're rolling the dice on keeping...

    Honestly it makes some things so much better if you mentally replace duck with f**k :LOL:

    Michelin ps3

    Nothing wrong with sticking with what you know and like if maintaining the same feel is a priority over outright performance.

    Michelin ps3

    I don’t, but Tyre Reviews really rate it for handling and steering feel https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/2022-Tyre-Reviews-17-Inch-UHP-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm

    Working in IT

    A support role can definitely give you a grounding in whatever you want to do. I started off as wanting to be a developer, did a straight computer science degree, did an industrial placement at IBM (back when that name actually meant something 😂) but once I finished all of my training, I...

    Working in IT

    You've put your finger straight on the problem with project management in this sector. You get newly qualified PMs with their goddamn gantt charts and "how things should work" who are all about making sure the customer is happy yadda yadda yadda and they just completely f**k it all up because...

    Working in IT

    First thing is what do you want to do. “IT” is a vast field and I’d suggest you need to narrow down your criteria a bit. It can be as soul destroying as any other job if you’re stuck doing something you don’t enjoy. Entry level anything you’re up against kids but life experience and maturity...

    Tough decisions

    Another +1 for CC, they have real market reach for stuff like that and without being funny about it, that's still a cheap car compared to most of what they sell so you're dealing with people who might pick it up on a whim. I'd hold onto it for now though if you can, you never know what life...

    GTA 6

    I cannot wait to drive some sort of enormous 4x4 monster truck down that beach and kill everybody there. Yes, I have some frustrations to work out in a virtual world, what of it. :LOL:

    2025 my arse, this is Rockstar. 😂 Looks awesome though.

    Michelin ps3

    PS3 is positively ancient now though. In the 16” I’d go with the Continental premium contact 6, that’s a tyre which is a match for the Michelin ps4 in performance and it’s cheaper than the ps3 too. In 15” you’re a bit buggered by a lack of choice :(

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    I am loving the GTO Titan. I’m not a sim racer at all, I play video games to have fun, but it’s just so much more immersive even with entry level kit on it. Some of the best money I’ve spent I think.

    Could just be UPS being cretins I guess. I was looking at getting some fanatec stuff too, but this has put me right off.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    Already have 👍 It’s great, I can’t feel any flex although admittedly it’s hardly the most powerful force feedback wheel and it’s a lot of fun to use. The monitor actually works fine. although I’d like an ultrawide for better immersion I can see me just getting another TV. A lot of tweaking...

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    It is very big, the rig is ok for people weighing up to 200kg 😳 I could certainly have a smaller seat and still be perfectly comfortable, but overall I’m perfectly happy with the seat.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    I’ve yet to actually use it, but impressed with the GT Omega Titan so far. Easy to build, comfortable seat. OK the other components are a bit “my first sim rig” but I am just using what I had lying around. Must have had the Logitech for five or six years now and never used the thing 😂 A monitor...

    Winter tyres

    Whereabouts are you? For much of the winter in the UK unless you're dealing with snow a winter tyre will be overkill and one of the new generation of all season tyres would be a better fit. You'll give up a little bit in snow and ice performance but gain elsewhere...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    The Ally runs Windows 11 - basically it's a handheld PC so anything you can do with a normal PC to sync your saves will work - Steam cloud, battlenet, Rockstar, as long as they sync between PCs now they will also sync from the Ally.

    The New Phone Thread

    Just saw this on YouTube, really impressive stuff. I reckon with the Max giving it a bit more thermal headroom performance may be a touch better compared to a non-Max 15 Pro.

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    I think I'm going to go for the GT Omega Titan. 90% of the strength of the Prime range but a simple two hour build. I can't see me ever needing any more than what it offers.

    Car inspection camera

    I’ve got the first one. It’s fine, does the job, picture quality isn’t great but as an entry level thing to use from time to time it’s decent.

    The New Phone Thread

    On the one hand yes I agree USB C is an extensible standard, but on the other who knows what the future holds for tech. The aim of the legislation is laudable for sure, I’ve no problem with that, it just seems like a bit of a blunt instrument. Time will tell 👍

    The New Phone Thread

    This is genuinely the problem with mandating a solution. The market had already completely coelesced around USB C anyway apart from Apple who were gradually going there. So what happens when USB C is old hat (and let's face it, it's hardly new at this point) and someone wants to implement a...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    My problem with 11 is how they are pushing more and more advertising into it. As an operating system it’s absolutely fine though.
