    ~£1000 m1 mac

    Hi I am aiming for a macbook pro at a cost of ~£1000 although can stretch to £1300. I hear great things about m1 so that's all i am particular about. I'd also be docked a lot of the time so keyboard / touchpad doesn't bother me too much. What am I best getting? I could either get the lower spec...

    UEFA Euro 2020 Group D ** spoilers ** (England, Croatia, Scotland, C.Republic)

    Just did a quick bit of research and we haven't beaten any 'top' team in major finals knockout rounds other than 0-0 (win on pens) Spain 1996 Euros since our world cup win in '66. That's 55 years of us being distinctly second rate. Generally if you review our results and performance of major...

    New PC or upgrade?

    I think its time for an upgrade for COD. Here is my current system Graphics - Geforce GTX 950 Motherboard - Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3 Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz RAM - 8GB DDR3 OCZ CoreXtreme 500w '80 Plus' Power Supply I am trying to decide if I should just get a whole...

    £350-£400 Android options.

    I'm looking for a similar priced phone and I'm waiting for the Pixel 4a as i've seen people say many times its worth waiting for. Unfortunately lockdown has delayed it. I think their conference was due this weekend (which would have enabled them to launch it) whereas now they will likely launch...

    S8 or LG G6?

    What about the Moto G6 plus too? Looks slightly lower spec than LG g6 unless i'm missing something.

    S8 or LG G6?

    I've settled on buying a handset outright for ~£300 - £350. It looks like i can get a G6 lightly used for 285, whereas the s8 generally about 380. At those prices, is the s8 worth the extra? There seems to be lots of side by side reviews almost comparing them as equals.

    Freemasonary....

    My Great Uncle was a Freemason. No idea how, as he was just a postman i think. As far as i can tell it's essentially just a big "we look after each other and our direct families" club. I don't know if there's much more to that, or if different areas are more / less cultish with other stuff. We...

    PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

    This seems to be flying off the shelves, and yet there's mixed reviews. An initial skim read suggests it's dissatisfied Oceania players getting pitched against hacking Chinese? Are there any other major gripes with the game?

    Star Wars VIII : The Last Jedi [WARNING: SPOILERS]

    Just watched IV again. It's really not that much of an amazing movie. I think a big part of its popularity was perhaps it being ahead of its time? And in turn a huge fan base came about and people fell in love with the original cast. There are plot holes and certain negatives about the recent...

    ** Official Ubuntu Thread **

    I didn't get any "magnetism" . I really like the GNOME desktop. It feels like the entire thing has modernised and there are less apps with a grey surround which makes things feel much cleaner and fresh too.

    Web development - which language?

    Javascript makes sense as a spring board for newer libraries such as React and Angular taking off. I learned solid HTML, CSS, javascript and jQuery. From there i've done Java and android just for app making, but once i'm able to make some decent apps i will go back to Udemy to refresh on...

    Git Question

    Thanks all. I understand forking, branch etc. It was just whether i was doing something wrong in opening files in the local repo on my PC, (rather than some other workspace folder elsewhere on my PC) but it doesn't sound like i've done anything wrong. I understand that the .git folder contains...

    Git Question

    Hi All I recently cloned a repository to my PC. I understand the idea of add, commit, push etc, but I am slightly confused at the idea of a "working directory" and what is actually happening in detailed terms when a commit is made. Is a "commit" actually updating a file which lists an index of...

    Could Germany have won WW2?

    Yeah i read a lot on US indifference, but there's too many red lines that the US set. Eventually due to their very nature, the Japanese/ Germans would have crossed one. The Americans were also doing a hell of a lot of supplying / passive help. they weren't heavily emotionally / politically...

    Could Germany have won WW2?

    True about air superiority, but we'd have tried to disturb military supply as much as possible and maybe go on the offensive to a few German ports at the request of the US if they were then being reactive. In general, Britain was a huge faff in proactively being a nuisance rather than just...

    Could Germany have won WW2?

    I've read a lot of similar wwII questions on quora and it's changed my understanding to be roughly the following: - Germany could have eventually won the battle of Britain (air battle) if they didn't turn to Russia, but it'd have been Pyrrhic. As from there, they would have needed to keep...

    2018 FIFA World Cup Play-offs and International Friendlies ** Spoilers ** [8th - 14th November 2017]

    I never see any other teams do that thing where the back 4 just pass it in their own half for 30 seconds. We have always seemed to do it. As soon as it reaches midfield we then seem to try and create a chance within 3 passes and then lose the ball. The Germans pass around all team members as...

    UEFA Champions League/Europa League ** Spoilers ** [17/18/19 October 2017]

    big result for us (chelsea) tonight. Provided we beat Qarabag away (no mean feat) then the only way we don't qualify is Atletico will have to beat everyone and we will have to lose in Rome too. (and that's assuming ROma beat qarabag too)
