    Rent arrears interest calculation?

    Bold move saying this on these forums. Bold move indeed.

    Thoughts on the Lenovo Legion quality

    I've got a Legion which has come with me on my many work travels for some time now. I've found it to be pretty exceptional. So much so that I'll be looking almost exclusively at Lenovo to replace it in the next year or so.

    £25 a week extra on my state pension

    Can't wait to see how hilarious my state pension will be if I (or anyone my age) is ever eligible.

    **British Armed Forces Discussion Thread**

    Meh - I transfered Army to RAF about a year ago. My take is that it's not all it's cooked up to be. I've been jammy with my next posting so I'll see that out and be back in time for my 12 year point to decide if i'll stay or not. -- I noticed the OR1-3 pay scales are all getting an immediate...

    5800x3D upgrade

    I've only just done it, but it's looking good so far. Scoring higher in cinebench and lower temperatures. Not bad for a 5 minute tweak! It is boosting to full speed consistently which it wasnt before, despite it not being near the thermal throttle limit at any point. I went for -30 with PPT...

    5800x3D upgrade

    Surprised to see mine reaching 70C with the cooler I have - but after a bit of googling apparently that's quite low! Might try this undervolt malarkey, though I expect it won't increase performance since it's not throttling.

    Cyprus - Car Shennanigans

    Thanks for your comment. I love the idea of road tripping it and it's something I'd not considered, but last night the idea did not survive contact with my wife! Perhaps on the way back? It's nice to have a ceiling price in mind but of course I'm hoping it'll be cheaper than that - I'll report...

    5800x3D upgrade

    Finally bit the bullet and bought one of these, since Hell Divers 2 is apparently so CPU bound. £254 - best price I've seen for a little while on the main websites, but still a bit steep for a last gen chip to be honest! Not entirely certian what to expect as far as direct FPS impact goes, but...

    Cyprus - Car Shennanigans

    My family and I are moving to Cyprus until mid 2027. It's a long shot, but I'm hoping one or two of you might have done this (or similar) before and are able to share your experiences. So far the advice seems to be that I should sell my car in the UK and buy one locally in Cyprus, but I have...

    Do you charge your children "keep" or rent? Do/did you pay it yourself?

    I paid keep and my daughter will be paying it too in about 16 years...

    Best savings account?

    That's the sort of thing that'll make me cancel an account to be honest.

    Going out Solo

    Only ever done this when travelling with work. I find it can be a bit hit-and-miss, much depends on the vibe in the restaurant.

    Printer ink subscriptions

    It sounds like you're trying to justify the subscription with extra use that goes beyond your actual needs. It's a printer... you're not going to enjoy it more just because your subscription allows you to use it more. I find the notion of a monthly subscription for printer ink quite resentful.

    5800x3D upgrade

    Looking at the benches, the 3900XT is significantly faster in productivity with its extra cores. What sort of real-world areas would I notice that? I use Photoshop occasionally if that counts. Think it might be worth waiting for the 5800x3d to come down in price a little? £270-280 is a touch...

    5800x3D upgrade

    Given the difference you're seeing from a 5800X, I'm starting to feel like I should definitely buy one of these to replace my 3900XT.

    3900XT sufficient for 4070 SUPER?

    No not really, just the usual highly demanding titles, that's grand then!

    3900XT sufficient for 4070 SUPER?

    Evening all, I'm looking to upgrade my PC purely for gaming performance. Ideally I need a 5800x3d and a new GPU, but I'm too tight to buy both. If I just got myself a 4070 Super for the time being, do you expect it would be significantly bottlenecked by a 3900XT? Thanks.

    ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Twin Edge OC or non OC?

    Definitely get the OC for that extra 1 FPS, 20% of the time. Seriously though, there's an annoying shortage of reviews for the 4070 super. Google either gets you non-stop Ti Super reviews, or not the exact card you're interested in.

    RIP Jonnie Irwin

    With his continued presence on TV I thought he was overcoming it - but sadly not. He was one of the better presenters out there for me.

    Your country needs YOU!

    I agree it seems very unlikely and to be clear - I don't support conscription. But I do recognise the desperate situation that the British army is in, and the implications of not having a credible force with which to confront Russian (or any) aggression. A true deterrence must be layered and...
