I like the bit where cars won’t be able to communicate because android and apple. Glad I’m using an apple device so can read this! Phew!

750M vs 3.2B?

Think it’s a fair estimate to say there are more than 4.3x the number of Male teams than Women’s teams. The women are doing pretty well there, on the popularity front.

So, we’re just ignoring Jimjam’s lack of basic comprehension? 8)

Los Del Rio has a respectable output, but “Macarena”…

Seeing as the verb “to Google” includes accepting a privacy policy – I’m out

Before you continue...

This comedown isn’t nice, can anyone pass me a fresh #TJArgues?

Small, slightly battered BFe?

That Intel build is better than the AMD, this AMD build is better than both

(All the rest is the same, just AMD’s new mid-range CPU rather than a low-end as per either of your builds above) ~£512 without Windows

Got a budget?

Overpopulation, innit

Shirley “Red steal”, no ?
Well I laughed, anyway

Came here to say something about STW gossip – then noticed Jamie was back and that I was woefully out of touch. Carry on

Looks like a typical case of “Office gossip, what can STW suggest that I say to make me sound well informed”

Well, too late – it was 7 hours ago; the moment for that killer line is long gone.

My Samsung SmartTV seems to need to update every time that I want to use the Smart features.

It’ll also update in the background, but when complete it will say “Smarthub update complete” in a large box right in the middle of the screen, which requires a prompt from the user to go away. Very annoying.

Will not be buying another Samsung.

3200 x 1800 here on a 13″ – run it at 100% scaling most of the time, “hilariously tiny” sums it up nicely.
Wish I could get anywhere near that for desktop.

It’s all bloody parking and bins with you lot

Keavany’s hit & miss; some days he has a spark, other days he’s just going through the motions.

“We don’t deal with Hope”

DezB – thats an 8 pin UC-E6 like-mini-usb proprietary connector!

There’s only 8!

Got a Vive. Excellent with the room-scale VR, potentially loads of uses for the handheld controllers (full 9DOF tracking + 3 buttons + touchpad). Loads of games making good use of it. Brilliant experience.

Not worth the money if you’re after a casual experience or just want to see what it’s all about.

I was only trying to bait you into reliving your PC-nerd glory days ;)

I wouldn’t get a 960 new now; the new AMD RX 480 is on par with the 980 for £200 – it’s the current go to “non-silly money” card to have!

I can’t believe no one has mentioned second hand! I’ve got an i5 4670k going spare – a socket or so out of date but more than enough for modern gaming, leaving more budget for the GPU ;) also overclockable!

Email in profile if interested, free + postage to a good home.

They now have no time or respect for the perceived mass voters (pensioners, benefits class, non graduates in many cases) who took Europe away from them.

EU values would promote respect for all, as would democratic values.

Perhaps they’ve spent a lot of time online reading their friends shared links, exposed to the echochambers of various forums, facebook groups etc. and don’t appreciate the nuances to the “leave” arguments – having not been exposed to them (aside, of course, from straw-man image macros).

I’d be angry with those who hold the actual power, rather than the fellow commoner, if I were in their position – divide & conquer innit? ;)

If you want to go the build-your-own route, This site is ace[/url] for playing with different builds. There are plenty of builds on there, take this for example at £902 for a tower, leaving a bit left over for mouse, keyboard and monitor – and if they get into it, any cheaper components will soon be replaced by some they buy themselves.

An experienced driver today is probably competent enough to monitor a self-driving car but what about a driver twenty years from today who will likely not have spent any meaningful amount of time driving a manual car?

An interesting point, but with technology decreasing the rate of human intervention, statistically insignificant compared to the current reality.

Note also the weasel words “experienced” and “highly skilled” – neither of which are prerequisite for driving a car.

lol

you’re just sayin what all the papers are sayin innit

Happy Birthday!

Bravo

The pathetic whir of the Nespresso machine puts my dinner guests and I right off!

What about “going forward”?

It’s not like you’ve got a Delorean parked outside, is it? You can’t go back.

Moving from one place to another in the direction one is facing (rather than, as is inferred, standing still intent on the direction one is not facing)

What’s time got to do with it?!

Wait a second – as a non dropper post rider, why exactly does it have to be smooth?

Mayor Keith? No – but there was Empresses Victoria and Emperors Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII and George VI.

But I guess that was OK?

A good series of edits there JY!

Looks like it’s rendered on SLI 1080’s.

Consoles are going to be well behind the curve, again.

Has it ever been any different?

Make sure you get rid of Hola – it’s a horrible bit of software.

It’s great – instead of people only looking at 10% of the website, you’ve force fed them everything!

You have the same amount of pipe in the heatexchanger in both scenarios – there will probably be very little difference in terms of heat transfer / temperature.

For the highest pressure at the shower head, you want the lowest pressure drop possible across the system.

Pressure drop across a section of pipe is proportional to the fluid velocity through that section squared (as stevomcd states above).

Flow through many pipes in parallel = lower velocity through each pipe = lower pressure drop through the heat exchanger (compared to a single long higher velocity pipe coiled around). This gives you the lowest pressure drop, and greatest potential flow through the system.

However, more flow through (basically) the same heat exchanger with the same heat source = lower temperature.

Get more pipe in that heat exchanger!

So would a smart tv decode the signal from a satellite without the need for an external box? Probably need to read the freesat site properly when I’m not just on the phone…

Any TV compatible with FreeSat will decode it, provided it’s pointing at the right satellite. (Sky & Freesat are the same) – no box needed.

Installed ‘Ad-Blocker’ and it’s back to normal again thankfully.

Uh-oh!
