    Simple video editing software

    I use the free version of HitFilm. Not sure if it's basic enough for your requirements, but it does everything I need it to.

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES (3090 / 3080 / 3070) NOW ONLINE AT OcUK **

    I can see the [expired] voucher codes with my 389 posts; I guess they lowered it from 1000 or it's to do with my 17 year membership. Gonna have to be quicker off the mark next time stock comes in!

    Is the LG Gram 17 2020 a good step up from a Surface Pro 4?

    Hey guys. As per title, I'm currently drooling after the LG Gram 2020, which has just appeared in my local Costco. I'm currently using a Surface Pro 4 as my work machine (web, video, editing, VMs and occasional Skyrim/RuneScape), and it's getting a little long in the tooth. Because of the...

    ** Retro Gaming/Hardware YouTube Channels **

    I hope you won't mind me plugging my own YT channel here - it's called D77 Gaming. It's not exclusively retro, but it does have a dedicated retro side to it (titled D77 Retro). Among others I've just uploaded a longplay of the C64 conversion of Atic Atac that was released today. Channel...

    Spec me some desktop speakers

    Interested in responses here, as I'm after something pretty similar. I'm also eyeing up the Z200, but unsure if the bass will be good enough.

    Curious those with touch screen laptops

    Got a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 - I use the touchscreen about 40-50% of the time. Mainly for scrolling, zooming, hitting web links, as well as casual games. In case of relevance, to this day I hate touchpads. I use an external mouse; the touchpad get used about 5% of the time. Might be why the...

    Steam or GOG

    Absolutely this.

    Breastfeeding in restaurants

    Here's my view - adults are allowed to eat at the table, so why not babies? Yes, there is such a thing as discretion. But discretion does not require throwing a large napkin over your hungry infant's head, merely exposing the required amount of flesh in a quiet and dignified manner is good...

    Is it only thick people who measure the time until future events in terms of 'number of sleeps'?

    Yep. I never mention holidays online until I've already got back.

    How do lawyers get away with their charging?

    One of the few lessons I didn't have to learn the hard way when dealing with house transactions was always to choose your own solicitor after confirming with them that they will do the whole job for one agreed fee, regardless of the number of letters, telephone calls etc they have to make...

    Is it only thick people who measure the time until future events in terms of 'number of sleeps'?

    I don't like the phrase, but I've got used to hearing it. Similarly to the way it seems mandatory for all northerners to refer to London as "That London" these days. Plus, it allows the joke of reminding my fellow insomniacs that it's only 3 more sleeps till Christmas. Which people find...

    Return of the ZX Spectrum!

    No keyboard? Not interested. How can anyone play Skool Daze on a joypad with four buttons? Let's see what controls there were, shall we... up, down, left, right Shift to run S for sit/stand F for fire catapult J or L for jump H for hit U for "yes I understand Einstein is going to grass me...

    One for Spectum owners

    That should still work. My hifi worked back in the day, as did my walkman.

    Sick of EBAY!

    So your eBay photo showed cap discolouration, and he still chose to buy it? More fool him, surely.

    *** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread ***

    I thought the PC version was always missing the amazing theme music...? Not to mention the different level names, e.g. changing "****** Me It's Cold" to "Blast It's Cold"

    Given stick for working extra hours?

    If you're a limited company contractor operating outside IR35, leaving at the end of your current contract is pretty much your only option. If you stay beyond 2 years things will get rather tricky for you... mileage allowance etc will be out the window.

    Is this normal??

    I've been involved in a 3-car shunt before (I was the one in front) and tried telling my insurance about it whilst stating that I didn't want to make a claim - they STILL opened a claim up despite me telling them clearly, THREE times, that I didn't want to as I was dealing with the at-fault...

    Beware of More Than House Insurance

    And it's precisely because of situations like this that such companies are able to run adverts stating "switch to us and save UP TO £480"...

    Expensive mistakes you've made because of stupidity

    :eek::eek::eek: Wow!! They could buy you a brand new car for less than that! And in fact should have considered doing so, because you can sometimes get cars with a year's free insurance, sometimes (but rarely) even two years. By which time you've been driving that length of time and...

    Real-world differences between i7 4510U (dual core) and i7 4710MQ (quad core)?

    Thanks for the input - based on what you've said, I might get away with it actually. My Windows VMs will most likely be relatively idle for a fair portion of their uptime, as I will be setting up a test domain then running specific scenarios to test functionality and/or compatibility - I can't...
