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 :(

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.

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...

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.

It’s the XL RS, ‘cos I am a chonky boi

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...

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 👍

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...

Looks awesome, but f**k that! 😂

It’s not too bad for me because I’ve got an office 365 subscription anyway so I’m doing most of what they want already 😂

Sign up prompts and then further “reminders” for MS products, suggested content, suggested apps, yadda yadda yadda https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/08/windows-11-has-made-the-clean-windows-install-an-oxymoron/

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

So it’s proper skill tree build your own hero stuff then, fair enough. I don’t mind that as long as it’s not insanely World of Warcraft nerdy and there’s a good plot driving things along, I really enjoyed the DeusEx games for example. I’m more inclined towards combat-first games like the...

I’ve been playing this a bit, and it’s absolutely gorgeous but it’s not grabbing me. The weapons “feel” insubstantial and the cars drive incredibly badly. I’m only about four hours of play into it though, so I’m wondering if that changes at all.

To be fair, they were started in 1990 and focused on PC flight sims, so virgins was almost certainly their core target market.

For me if it hasn't got the Sachs then it's not a trophy and doesn't demand a much of premium over a 182 with Recaros. Literally the whole point of the Trophy is the Sachs suspension setup and the values they demand are firmly into the collector market now so it has to be right.

"In my day, this were all fields" :) Honestly, I love you guys but it's like a bunch of grumpy old farts in here, things were so much better in my day.... and I'm nearly 50 so I can say that :ROFLMAO:

The new Clio looks the absolute b****cks in Alpine spec with the blue paint IMO. It is pretty much the same as the previous generation, just has a new face and new trim. The pictures really don’t do it justice. It is quite colour sensitive though, didn’t look good in red or orange.

Does that actually come with a ruler to measure your e-penis with? :LOL:

Classic pyramid scheme really - made a few people very very wealthy but anyone who didn't get in early lost their shirt.

That's fair, but the hackers didn't just take the site down or extract some names and addresses, they were able to get access to the stored data on people's devices. It was a major ouch at the time and I was very glad I didn't use the cloud part of the drive. OneDrive will probably be busted...

WD stuff has had some pretty major issues with security in the past. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/04/users-fume-after-my-cloud-network-breach-locks-them-out-of-their-data/ I have one of their NAS drives but never used any of the online connected stuff, just used it as a...

There's a reason I don't have a glass side panel on it. (y) It worries me not a jot, it's not going anywhere and there's tons of airflow. Sure, I could tidy it up by trying to route it all underneath the motherboard tray but it's not a show pony. It's just an unobtrusive little PC with no RGB...

Nice, it’s even a bit less long than my 3070, although slightly thicker. Cable management is for weirdos Pretty chungus heatsink on it! The bottom of the case is mesh and it’s raised off the floor so I’ve got a nice bottom to top airflow going on. Loving the small PC game.
