    Change to MM access after 1st January 2024

    Hello. I can no longer access MM. After reading this entire thread, I am led to believe the reason for this is that I'm a leech who is contributing absolutely naff all towards the community. I've tried to pick sense out of nonsense in this thread, but despite people's efforts to justify this...

    Theoretical, what is faster, RAM drive or RAID NVMe?

    So if you wanted to build some fast storage for a millionaire, what option would be best out of the two? Isn't there a limit to how many NVMe drives you can have on the PCI-E lanes?

    Theoretical, what is faster, RAM drive or RAID NVMe?

    If you wanted a large amount of really fast storage, what would be the best option between a dedicated RAM drive vs a blazing fast PCI-E 4.0 NVMe RAID array? I thought a RAm drive would be faster but I overheard someone say the RAID-0 NVMe array would be able to perform better read-write...

    Couple of weeks in and still happy with the X3 Pro. Haven't tested every function but slowly getting there. Used the GPS a few times to navigate and worked well. Some friends told me my call quality wasn't so hot but wasn't sure if that was the phone or my soundcore Bluetooth headset so did...

    Custom Flat Bar Stolen - Need suggestions for replacement, please

    Yeah even though I had a good lock I don't think I attached it in a way to make a cut a bit more difficult. I'm in the market for a new lock but I will make a new thread for that. So I did some basic bike research and as mentioned above a lot of stuff is still sold out. I found myself...

    Not sure what you mean by stutters? but not noticed anything bad yet. Is this stutters thing something to do with 120Hz switching down to 60Hz when using Chrome?

    Just some quick feedback on the Poco X3 Pro. Only been using it a few days and so far so good. I'm upgrading from Android 7 so I'm not sure what is new Android 11 and what is MIUI?. Not had the bloatware experience I read about and the only adverts I've seen in 3 days were in the bundled games...

    Ok, after some reading and watching YouTube reviews I've purchased a replacement for my cracked screen UleFone Power 3. I went with a Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro 8GB/256GB for £199.49 inc with a handy PROMOFIVE discount code at auction. I didn't get an AMOLED screen but I did get a 7nm Snapdragon...

    Dropped my 3-year old Ulefone Power 3 mobile yesterday and cracked the screen! . . . did a few hours of research for a nice battery phone with good screen for gaming, video watching and flicking through financial charts. £229 - Poco X3 Pro 6GB+256GB £249 - Redmi Note 10 Pro 6GB+128GB (£269)...

    Custom Flat Bar Stolen - Need suggestions for replacement, please

    Hi Begbie, thanks a lot for the pointers, they both look nice, close to what I am looking for just missing the road bike gearing. I will have a dig through both the Ribble and Genisis range to see what else they have on offer. I also had a quick look at the COTIC frame and the "Escapade" looks...

    Custom Flat Bar Stolen - Need suggestions for replacement, please

    Hello Brothers/Sisters of the wheel, I spent five years building up a flat bar road bike and sadly it's been stolen. Portable angle grinder job while I was having dinner with a friend sigh... :( No insurance so I'm well out of pocket but more gutted about all the time I spent tuning and...

    Getting an additional SIM on the cheap?

    I think I see what your saying now and no I don't think that would work! :p Is PAYG really 1p per MB?

    Sorry, 6 inches is just too big

    Scam, the armpit comment made me chuckle, I understand but your other points are quite weak at least from my understanding, in Netflix you click one button to download a video, I think Black Mirror was about 300-400mb per episode which is nothing for good home wifi and not really what I would...

    Has anyone tried haggling with three?

    I always haggle with 3 . . . although they don't call me up anymore as they know I am a low value customer! . . . I always have to ring them once my contract has expired! :D What always works for me is to find a better deal elsewhere that you would genuinely switch too, then you contact three...

    Getting an additional SIM on the cheap?

    I'm not sure if I follow? . . . but I'll chime in anyways . . . I'm a 3 customer with a monthly £10 sim only contract (unlimited calls and texts and 4GB data). It was a good deal two years ago but now I feel its overpriced. I also have a PAYG sim from 3 which I use for a small business phone...

    Sorry, 6 inches is just too big

    Hey Scam, I know what you mean and I thought exactly the same as you until I got a 5.7" 18:9 screen, now after a few months I find myself wanting more. It's true most people have TV's to consume their media but you can't take your TV on the train or to a busy hairdressers. I finds myself...
