    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    I think they’ve made a sensible choice, it’s a funky car and making the “free” colour a bold one will make it stand out from the herd. Even if the reaction is just “I like that, but in a different colour” it’s still capturing attention.

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    Woah now, what’s all this common sense I’m hearing? Are you SURE you work in security 😉 We’re definitely getting there now at my place, but getting the security/risk stuff in place…. well….. let’s just say a bit more of that attitude was needed.

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    Enterprise application support in fintech with a lump of AWS on the side. It’s unusually deep dive support, digging through stack traces etc. The team are really good, but demoralised and generally beaten up by offshoring and years of being under-resourced. I’d want commitments on being able...

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    Looks like I’m going to be asked to move back into technical team management again. I’m a bit torn to be honest. I love being a techie and I hate the stress of management bullshit, but on the other hand I can see they are absolutely sinking and need an experienced manger to sort stuff out...

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    Struggling to think of a sector which is as nailed-on for growth as defence TBH. Aviation is vulnerable to economic shocks, fuel prices, etc and I wouldn’t want to bet against a rocky decade on that front. That’s on top of the already absolutely savage levels of cost savings. Depressing really!

    Blimey, Don at Kalmar Union, that name takes me back to my T5 days!

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    It’s not looking good for the 5090 with 12v HPWR. Massive variation in current and therefore heat across the conductors.

    Absolute p**n. Thanks for the pics 👍

    check Injection warning

    You’ll probably waste a lot more money replacing parts without a proper diagnosis than you‘d spend on getting the codes read, so I’d always start with that. The message could have multiple causes unfortunately.

    Just man up and get one from eBay. £3500 to £5000 seems perfectly reasonable 😂

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    AI is killing us on the recruitment side. We’re doing offshore interviews and the number of candidates blatantly using it is off the scale. We had someone typing the interview questions into their laptop and just reading what it said 😂

    Alpine steering wheel controls

    Connects2 do a range of harnesses for the Clio, one of these will work depending on what the original head unit was. https://connects2.com/products/steering-wheel-control-interfaces/vehicle/Renault/Clio You’ll also need the Alpine specific patch lead...

    Most important thing is what colour it is, ‘cos that tells you how many rams it needs, or something.

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    I think they’re going to be a big hit. They look great, they’re decent to drive, they’ve got good efficiency, they’re well packaged thanks to being on a dedicated EV platform, they’re relatively affordable. Mini have lost the plot with their new design IMO so that segment is ripe for the taking.

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    The idea was to give people certainty over the battery cost because in the early days the worries over battery longevity were so strong. Don’t think anyone does it any more.

    I’m sure they’ll be immediately available on eBay at entirely reasonable prices 😂

    The Gaming Thread (General Gaming Jibba Jabba)

    Next Doom game comes out in May. This looks right up my street, never got on with Eternal because it was so frenetic and if you weren’t constantly in the air you were toast.

    The Retro Gaming Thread

    This is a little bit of a thread resurrection, but if anyone is into retro gaming I can’t recommend this place enough: https://www.retrocollective.co.uk/ I went last year and volunteer there now. It’s not some pokey load of boring static displays, it’s hands on retro gaming and they have some...

    Tried Airbnb? Depends how close you want to be, there was one that was really close but unfortunately that‘s gone. Some b*****d who’ll probably cancel at the last minute anyway must have grabbed it. What a prick.

    So let me get this straight, meet you bunch of reprobates in real life? Like actually speaking to real-ish people? In the real world?

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Looks like nVidia are claiming big performance gains by using the AI cores to drive a new version of DLSS. Interesting to see the shift from brute rendering performance to frame generation continuing to pick up pace. Benchmarks should be interesting!

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    Installed a load cell mod to my Moza brake pedal today. Bloody hell, what a difference! Braking is suddenly so much more natural. Easy to fit too, well, apart from undoing the fuckups I made when I originally built the rig 😂...

    Ah, the meeting of doom. “Catch-up” or similar. The only thing worse is a sudden team meeting called “team update” 😂

    Illegal Number Plates

    If it’s already gone that far then the time for discretion from the police is gone, it’s in the system now. From what you’ve said I think you’ll just have to pay the fixed penalty.

    Never use my VR headset for gaming, it’s far too good at p**n to waste time with s**t like that.
