    Have Environment Issues Caused a Change in Your Behaviour?

    It's really shocking how much complacency and doubt you come across on this subject, Johnathan Pie made the point in his video about the XR protest in Oxford Circus, that we were being taught about the deforestation of the Amazon and other environmental issues 25+ years ago but what has been...

    Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]

    Surely Bran's warging was him going back to hand the original assassin in season 1 the dagger?

    Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]

    This is the biggest missed the point I've read so far, in about 10k comments between here, reddit and other places. The genius of GoT was precisely that it wasn't about the unstoppable force of nature, because that boils down to Goodies vs Baddies and we know who we want to win and who we want...

    I genuinely think our devices listen to us

    They are listening, I don't know why it's even disputed. It's called Surveillance Capitalism and there was a thread in SC about it the other day: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/surveillance-capitalism.18850964 I wrote a pretty long post in there about it but the fact it's listening...

    Cycle to Work?

    Hi, I know this question has probably been asked and answered on here but I can't find anything recent. I want to buy a bike to ride to where I'm currently contracting, I'm the only employee of my company, can I buy a bike etc. through the Cycle to Work scheme? Debating getting one today so...

    Spec me a car

    I thought about an Aygo but are they not a bit small for motorway driving etc? Do they come in 1.2 or bigger?

    Spec me a car

    Hi guys, I think I've changed my mind to a Yaris, found this one near me in London but I can't tell at all. It's 58 reg, 75k miles, top or close to top spec and just under £2k, is that a decent deal?

    Spec me a car

    Wow nice spot, I wonder if I could go there and try and get some more knocked off the price, none of that is particularly bad is it.

    Spec me a car

    Isn't a Yaris basically the same as a Jazz? And that deal I've posted seems too good to be true.

    Spec me a car

    This Jazz has been reduced to £2k, can anyone see a reason why this would be a bad idea? Thanks

    Spec me a car

    hmm a Micra is a good shout, looks like you can get a newer one for cheaper. What are they like for longer motorway journeys and being able to get them repaired?

    Spec me a car

    Morning guys, do you think this is a good deal? 2008 Jazz, 50k miles £2150 and conveniently pretty close to where she lives. It says it's priced low compared to other cars which does look to be the case but it looks to be one of the last before the 2nd generation Jazz came out and some of the...

    Spec me a car

    Yeah that's fine, same for Maundie's reply. Something that will run pretty reliably, is sturdy enough for the motorway (she drives Manchester to Oxford every other month or so) and won't fall apart within 6 months. What reg/mileage do you think I'd be looking at? I saw anywhere ranging from...

    Spec me a car

    Morning, I'd like to buy my mum a car as the ancient Fiesta she's driving around is falling apart, she's literally never had a single car that didn't go from her ownership to the scrapyard she keeps them for so long. I've been in London for years now so have no interest in cars anymore and I'm...

    PHP Question

    Hey guys, I've got a client that uses a mailchimp form on their site. I've asked them to remove it for whatever reason but their sketchy at best replies have been that I should "go ahead and remove it". This is despite me saying that my PHP is not even a grasp of the fundamentals but I just...

    Chrome/Internet Issues

    Hi, sorry only just replying to this. I can't find that setting, I'm not signed into chrome at all so unless it's in there somewhere. Still having this problem though but mainly with youtube now, other google properties are a little more consistent. Trying to watch almost any youtube video...

    Chrome/Internet Issues

    Morning, been having problems with Chrome over the past couple of weeks at home. For some reason it will either load Google related sites (search, youtube, gmail etc) or it won't. I'm typing this in Chrome now, works perfectly, my other open tab is mail.google.com and it's crashed, the same...

    Dell XPS vs Macbook Pro

    Thanks mate, I've had a look and there does seem to be some reports of bugs around battery life etc. but I would contend that with just replacing the search query with macbook reveals just as many. Having the new Pro for work, I haven't had a single issue in some pretty heavy use (photoshop...

    Dell XPS vs Macbook Pro

    Evening, I need a new laptop and I'd like one that's pretty capable spec wise. Reading reviews and top 10 lists the 2 that seem to come out on top almost everywhere are the Dell and the Macbook Pro. Now I am no devotee to either particularly, for the past 4 or 5 years I've always had a Macbook...
