I think I’m gonna go postal today. Been dealing with a project manager the last few weeks. All their comms need feeding through a business bullshit reverse translator. Engagement, progression, connect with, facilitate, yadda yadda yadda. Every time I email back and address their points, while...

It’s not a terrible price for a PC with those specs and form factor, that’s what’s really shocking IMO. World’s gone crazy. Don’t forget how much Sony subsidises the PS5 to get ecosystem lock in. Valve were never going to do that. The outcome is still the same though, no matter what the...

Stuff like CEC that works properly is great and I love the form factor. I think it was always going to disappoint the PC master race whatever happened, but the price point is just too high. That’s not even a steam deck problem, it’s an industry problem. I remember when the next killer must...

Goddamn AI-pocalypse. It's still got a lot going for it IMO, but a) that price and b) they really made a rod for their own backs by claiming 4k 60fps.

120Gb day one patch so it doesn’t crash at startup. 150Gb day 5 patch to make it playable. #rockstar

Rub it back, bit of hammerite, job done.

Yeah, absolutely f**k that 😂 Nightmare fuel.

It’s the mileage, like catnip to collectors. No-one is ever going to drive the thing anyway.

Indeedie, we’ve been chatting non stop about the trials and tribulations, it’s all entirely affable.

“Brakes are sharp as a pencil” Riiiiiiiiight

Ah, my bad, I thought it was a 172 Cup from a quick glance. I still think it’ll do well but yeah not proper Cup levels.

Thing is that they’re on track to be the next 205 Rallye so from a collector’s point of view you’d pay a premium for a verifiable low mileage car and tuck it away for a decade. Sadly, no-one in their right mind is going to drive that thing, the value is all in the low mileage. It wouldn’t...

It’s because the seller doesn’t pay any fees. Usually there’s fees on both sides but CC loads it all onto the buyer. It’s a lot….. minimum fee too don’t forget. 6% of final sale price with a minimum of £1200 and a maximum of £7200. But yeah, I think that will do very well.

Guilty as charged

That’s got to be ironic. Surely? Please?

Agree. IMO performance at road speeds is so accessible these days that I think it stopped being a differentiator years back. It’s all about how a car makes you feel now, almost everything decent is “fast”.

I mean, I’ve pretty much finished working on it now, soooooooo 😂

Only #1 if they have 320d tattooed on their arse. Definitely #2 though.

What about a refurb? Something like this maybe https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/refurbished-msi-raider-ge68hx-13vg-093uk-intel-core-i9-32gb-ram-1tb-ssd-rtx-a3-9s7-15m211-093/version.asp You'd need to upgrade the memory but it supports 64Gb and comes with 32. Problem is it looks like it comes...

Is the right answer, I got in there today and I can see it’s not sensing it’s end stop and is jumping as it tries to move the arm it’s connected to. Thanks @Sash , I’ll order a replacement.

I kind of blame Brabus for this to be honest. They started selling diesel tuning through Mercedes dealers, so technically you could argue that that car has Brabus bits on it. Assuming it has the map. Still not a proper Brabus, obvs, but for the deluded it probably justifies the badge in whatever...

This is where it gets all the murkier for me - Cursor runs on top of Anthropic’s models. Anthropic can’t make money, and Cursor somehow have to add enough value that people won’t stop using it when Anthropic hike their prices. So many AI startups are using Anthropic or OpenAI models and...

That’s what they’ve been betting on, absolutely. That was my take too, that when the bubble pops and most of them fail then just like in the dotcom boom you’ll still have an Amazon and an eBay who come out on top and become the money making machines. The problem is that it’s starting to look...

That’s fair, but the amounts involved here are crazy. Musk largely funded Tesla himself in the early days, and they IPO’d after seven years. Total investment into Tesla from private equity and raising shares across it’s entire history is less than Anthropic burnt in VC cash in 2025 alone, and...

Yeah, but Tesla is at least profitable. Stock valuation is completely insane but they do make money. What the big AI guys are doing is spunking $10bn in investment to generate $5bn in revenue, and there’s no path out of that place at the moment without massive increases in subscription charges.
