    Budget 21:9 Monitor

    The LG 38" 38GN950P-B is currently 750 quid at the OCUK shop - which is a great price (but it's not a budget monitor). There's also B-stock around 100 quid cheaper. What are you going to use the monitor for - gaming, work or both?

    Chinese cars

    I think you're right. The main reason this will happen is China government invested 60 billion dollars into EV battery tech, the funds were managed by smart engineers with industry experience and now Chinese companies have the best and cheapest EV batteries. On the other hand US, EU, UK had far...

    Chinese cars

    Yes, as any modern industry assembly is separate from parts production. E.g. do you think that a Nissan plant in UK makes the engine parts, seats, wheels, tyres, sensors, processors, battery, etc. that go in a Nissan car?

    Chinese cars

    Have you tried a modern Chinese phone, like Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Redmi, OnePlus, Poco? They have amazing build quality. China is the world factory and most products on the shelves of Western shops are made in China, including expensive ones. E.g. Apple phones are assembled...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Turns out it's better to have Iran and North Korea for allies in a war than USA and West Europe. In the last year NK has delivered 2 million 152mm shells to Russia, while Europe has send 300K 155mm shells to Ukraine. Just as UK announced new sanctions, the news came out that Iran has send 400...

    Android security

    A friend of mine has an old phone running Android 10 that hasn't received any security updates in 3 years or so. Wonder how much of a problem it is. How easy is for a hacker to gain access to say a banking app installed on the phone? Do old Android phones without recent security fixes actually...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Good job to whoever designed and made the rockets and to the Ukrainian forces. If UK really wants Ukraine to win the war it should set up new production lines for Storm Shadow and 155mm artillery shells. This is going to be a long war and just sending a few old stock weapons and munitions now...

    Intel warranty for a second hand CPU

    Thanks for the ideas guys. The problem is definitely the CPU (I know that's very rare). I don't want to abuse the system. Plus Intel may check with say Amazon if a given order number is valid.

    Intel warranty for a second hand CPU

    So I bought a 13th gen Intel CPU off ebay a few months ago. Now it started misbehaving - blue screens in a clean Windows install, restarts when running Cinebench (while temps stay under 90°C). The CPU hasn't been overclocked or overvolted, always had a 240mm water cooler on. Intel warranty says...

    Laptops with Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake

    Looks like laptops with Intel's new generation CPUs are already on sale in the USA. When are they coming to UK? There are decent improvements in energy efficiency (and so in battery live) and in the iGPU. Interesting that this CPU contains 4 crystals, 3 of them manufactured by TSMC and only 1...
