This terrible saga brings back strong memories for MH370. For me, that brought stark realisation of just how far we are behind technologically than I'd originally assumed. We couldn't find a 60x60 metre plane that was pinging location right into the ocean using the technology of the worlds...

Wow theres a lot who have gone through a LOT of cards! My journey starts in 1995. I didn't upgrade that much (2.5-3 years average) but many of the cards i had were good and lasted well. S3 Virge 1MB + Orchid Voodoo 4MB (The biggest WOW moment. Was completely obsolete within 2 years) Matrox...

I think you misunderstand mate. I mean the engine thermostat. It's a valve that opens when the coolant heats up to 90c to allow it to be cooled by the radiator. These can get stuck closed meaning the radiator won't be doing it's job. You can check it by feeling the temperature of the radiator...

Im not familiar with the car, but even with Headgasket failure, the fan should be coming on. Did you check to see if the Thermostat was opening and the rad was getting hot after it hit ~80-90C? The previous shape fiestas had a very common problem of water leakage from the washer jets. This...

Was the socket on the back or side wall with the washing machine potentially pressing against the plug? If so, the machine's vibrations can cause the conductors to fret. Fretting with high current and worn conductors could have caused this.

Bike Highway Code rule 88: "When in traffic queues look out for pedestrians crossing between vehicles and vehicles emerging from junctions or changing lanes. Position yourself so that drivers in front can see you in their mirrors. Additionally, when filtering in slow-moving traffic, take care...

No I don't, which is why it's so puzzling! I'll keep an eye on it to see if I can find a pattern! I have a USB-C dock for the work laptop on the way so maybe that will help somehow if disconnections are an issue.

Hey folks! Does anyone else have a problem with their HDMI inputs automatically changing back to default from 'PC mode'? The icon changes from the little PC symbol back to the symbol of an HDMI port randomly on mine. I have 2 PC's connected to the TV but both have had their input settings...

Your results sound the same as mine mate. I remember reading that game mode may give a lower relative brightness. My WBC panel which I calibrated last week was running only around 100nits at nearly 50 oled brightness. This was using an Xrite I1 with Displaycal

We had a takeaway nearby hit the news when it was found out they had 3 identical branded bright yellow Nissan Micra's using the same plates and insurance!! They got away with it for years. I always remember seeing them buzzing around - talk about hiding in plain sight!

This sounds a little like depression to me. To everyone who says 'just do something' you need to understand that people suffering from this simply don't respond the same way. Serotonin and Dopamine are our brain's way of getting rewards for things we do, from washing the pots to having a good...

As someone who gamed though the first years of 3D acceleration on 3dfx Voodoo's etc, i think its ingrained in my soul to take off AA and reduce shadow quality for the fear of turning the game into a slide-show. Back then you could use smoke grenades to literally grenade someone's FPS!

I work a lot over teams and have have interviewed many people over it and I've never worried about their attire - the convenience for both interviewer and interviewee far outstrip the formality for me. That's not what many may think however, so its best to stay safe - business casual. What I...

Fulton Stormshield as linked earlier 100%. Light, Immensely Strong, and they seem a very good company. A few years ago, I ripped mine on an overhanging rose bush and emailed Fulton to see if they could just supply a replacement canopy - they just sent me a brand new one without question!

GBP/USD was 20% stronger back then. Inflation also averages around 2.4% a year, so lets say a compounded ~15.5% So the 970 would have been £388 today. So they've actually only increased by £80. With the sheer amount of PC games available, thats pretty good value imo.

Very good indeed, what grade 'sample' does it rate yours? It must be very high! Mine is a Silver Sample: 1300mv CCX1: 4300MHz CCX2: 4300MHz

I'm really not missing the point, most others are. You can't just multiply the house and wages to come to a conclusion. The interest rates and deposit requirements were also different historically. Now you can get a 4x to 5x salary mortgage. In the 80s this was around 2x. That's all because the...

Its also amazing how few people know how interest rates have changed in that time. In 1980, the base rate was around 14%, as opposed to 0.5%. 14% plus the banks 4% or so compounding interest of a 'cheap house' is a hell of a lot to pay before you started to make a dent into repayments each...

Wow great results, will have to do mine. Another huge win is that your temps reduced also with a reduction of 350RPM!! Huge difference

What an awesome post, it certainly opened my eyes to new perspectives. Shame it got swallowed by keyboard warriors trying to get one-over each other.
