    Fcuking Apple !!!!!

    My old 5 had the cold issues that Dave mentioned at the start. Got a 7 now and no doubt that it will do similar in a few years. I'm no Apple fanboi but iOS trounces Android in terms of what I want and ease of use. iOS is iOS across the board. I really dislike the various 'flavours' of Android -...

    Steam - including latest offers

    Bought Tyranny and Sniper Elite 4 so far. I was tempted by Bulletstorm - Full Clip Edition. But I’ve played through that game at least twice and I’m not sure what else the Full Clip offering provides?

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    You guys must have patience (and sanity) of saints. Just watched a YT channel of this for about 10 minutes. No way could I play this - I was getting annoyed just watching someone else play! Made me smile a bit with anyone getting shot at starting to bunny-hop. If any form of movement control...

    Project Cars 2 Time Trial Challenge December 17

    Lol - surely that should be the other way around? :smile: That said - I swear I'm quicker on DiRT Rally with a pad than with the wheel. I think it's down to the necessary quick change in direction where the pad comes out on top.

    How Many Iceburg Clio Cups Left

    Are these these just standard Clio items and non-RS specific? I personally hate mine on the 182 - they look cheap and can't be cleaned well enough.

    Project CARS 2

    It's a really difficult balance to find a sensible, yet not-too-serious racing group online. Simply joining an open lobby is fraught with frustrations of people doing doughnuts mid-track or simply ramming you off in a corner. Yet I don't have the time nor commitment to join online racing...

    Gigabit Ethernet switch

    Nice. I think Synology will be the route I go if/when i replace my QNAP.

    Basic CAD workstation advice?

    Cheers chaps - looks like I'll need to be looking into this a lot more. Way too many options!

    Basic CAD workstation advice?

    Chaps, At one of our production sites, we're looking into buying a new PC that's sole focus is on using SolidWorks 3D CAD. It will be used for the designs of various tooling and machinery bits - allowing the engineers to make amendments and suggestions on, etc. This naturally points me to the...

    Audio file converter?

    Just had word back - looks like Audacity did the trick. Thanks again!

    Audio file converter?

    Cheers James. :up: I've sent a saved file over the to phone support people to see if the file is of the right type. I'll let you know what they say. D.

    Audio file converter?

    Cheers @JamesBryan - I've downloaded it and tried converting to uLaw standard. While it's allowed that, our phone system supports audio files that are barely one up from Morse Code. I believe its 8-bit mono, which I don't know if Audacity's conversion ability goes that low down to. I've have a...

    Audio file converter?

    Chaps, Have you any suggestions for converting standard WAV files to low-spec ULAW format, for use with phone systems? I used to have an app that did it really well, but it's been a while since I used it and can't recall what its called. I don't mind paying for it either - it doesn't have to...

    Washing after driving in grit?

    I don't envy your decision mate. If I followed the 'fix' path - I think I'd go the whole hog and strip it back to the metal. Spend several months (years?) getting it exactly right.

    Washing after driving in grit?

    Get an Evo and underseal is used to hide issues that weren’t dealt with in the first place! Mitsubishi floor-pans are a proverbial cheese board for rust.

    Not heard of that before - does make sense I guess. I might start to rinse mine just that bit more...

    How many KMs are too many for a 182?

    Depending on if a Clio has been in-country for a long time, you'll probably be less likely to suffer the usual long-term weather related issues that we get in the UK. Rust is one to keep an eye out for - certainly after 12 years. Seals are likely to start degrading by this point - I had an O/S...

    Dirty Cars 2017

    Mine is skank. The pictures really don't highlight how bad it looks. More silver now than BG.... :confused:

    Gigabit Ethernet switch

    That should do the trick. Just be a bit wary that the switch - while fully capable of gigabit, will unlikely to be able to cope with eight ports in heavy use concurrently. The throughput under heavy use can easily overload a basic switch. An example from home (granted, it's a standard BT...

    Gigabit Ethernet switch

    Yep - even the entry level stuff these days is semi-intelligent in terms of routing and giving out IP addresses. The switch will 99.9% for sure, hand those functions over to the router anyway. I would personally buy gigabit throughput as well these days. The small price drop alone for the...

    Anyone want some drugs? - New car content

    Not for me I'm afraid - I think I would have preferred the rareness of the Alpina, tbh. But definitely agree with the colour combo when the time comes to sell it. I would assume that will be snapped up in no time.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I think the only way SLi will survive is to make clear and better results through the likes of DX12 and the fabled ability to chuck several gfx cards all into one pot and utilise them as one. However, if the manufacturer of two identical series of cards are struggling to make it work (using...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Agree. Burnt my fingers so many times with that. On the very rare occasion it works - it works brilliantly. But then there's the counter-argument of just having a more powerful card to begin with? Such a shame. Definitely one of those 'could have been so great' technologies - but I don't think...

    if someone stole your car!

    Sad isn't it, that in this day and age that we all feel this way. People have died through their own stupidity, doing something that shouldn't have been doing in the property of someone else. Yet I'd be the same way. At the very last second on my Clio's existence - it took them with it. I'd be...

    Had ED for ages, including the Horizons add on and a few other bits. Just never really put the time into it. I should do as I know I’d like it.
