    Rattan garden furniture

    I got my outdoor sofa set from Club Rattan 3 years ago. Still looks in good condition, the cushions are stored in one of those outdoor plastic containers over the winter and the chairs are covered. The frame is either galvanised steel or aluminium, not sure which I have but I imagine it'll be...

    It's LCD/LED's turn. Rtings longevity test update

    While not an image retention related issue, my 3 year old Samsung QLED is on its way out with a horizontal line across the screen with dithering and colour tinting below it. From what I've read, it sounds like the panel is goosed. Pretty poor for a 3 year old TV of that cost to pack in.

    Sky Sports to remain home of Formula 1 until 2029 after deal extended in all Sky markets

    If you get Sky Q, you can get the F1 channel on its own. Stream and Glass customers however get shafted and have to pay for the full Sky Sports package :mad:

    Sky Sports to remain home of Formula 1 until 2029 after deal extended in all Sky markets

    Turns out the Sky F1 option is only available to Sky Q customers. So if you have Sky Stream, then you have to either pay for the full F1 sports package or get your F1 fix somewhere else.

    Sky Sports to remain home of Formula 1 until 2029 after deal extended in all Sky markets

    Can you get the Sky F1 pack if you have Sky Stream? I paid for Sky Sports on the rolling 30 day contract last year just for F1 as I don’t watch any other sport on Sky. I can see it on the website but it only mentions SkyQ. I’d rather pay £15 than the £27 I was paying before!

    What do gamers actually think about Ray-Tracing?

    In the games I play (mostly online FPS type games), it offers zero value so I'm not bothered about it. I can see the appeal for single player story driven games to help create an even more immersive atmosphere but other than that...

    Is the end of Battery EVs coming?

    tbf, he did spout a load of nonsense and the usual FUD you see for EVs but I don't think you can lay the blame on him for it. It's the media funded by big oil.

    Is the end of Battery EVs coming?

    They are better for the environment but not perfect. I don't know anyone that claims they are. But you will then get idiots on social media suddenly becoming environmentalists, nature lovers and mining experts claiming all sorts of bad things about how an EV is made but overlooking all the...

    Is the end of Battery EVs coming?

    Maybe people waiting on Hydrogen should watch this… I also read tonight that Shell are closing their Hydrogen refuelling stations in California. https://x.com/mikejelfs/status/1755266310060060851

    Is the end of Battery EVs coming?

    They also have advanced battery management systems to balance all the cells and keep everything at the best operating temperatures via heating or cooling.

    Is the end of Battery EVs coming?

    So Hydrogen is "allowed" to evolve but battery tech isn't? The combustion engine has been evolving for over 100 years. Battery tech for cars has only really ramped up in the last 10-20 years. We've already went from cars with 50 miles range to 300+. Hydrogen combustion still emits NOx when burnt.

    Escape from Tarkov

    Ah yeah, you need to unlock workbench in your hideout.

    Escape from Tarkov

    If you right click on a gun and use edit preset, you can build it in there and it will allow you to buy the parts directly from traders or the flea market. I would start working on your hideout as it gives you perks such as more rewards per raid, Scav cooldown being lower and also allows you to...

    Quest 3 owners etc

    I prefer Synth Riders. Far easier to add custom songs, none of this developer mode, side loading malarkey :D

    Escape from Tarkov

    I think if you get to around 2 or 3 minutes of "awaiting session start", then you just have to Alt + F4 and then reconnect > leave game as you can't get into that session and just have to wait until your scav is available again.

    When are you going fully electric?

    The reason I chose the Model 3 (Y wasn't out in the UK yet) over an ID.4 was down to lack of standard kit on the ID.4. To get the same level of kit on the ID.4 was going to cost around £10k more and thats without the performance that the Model 3 LR has.

    If anyone has a referral link for SynthRiders, can you DM it over to me? Thanks.

    Quest 3 owners etc

    And I can confirm I was an idiot and forgot about the actual casting part. So it works great. No idea why I opened up the browser and just expected it to work. I had tried a few different things at that point and was still learning the UI and stuff so I guess I had a brain fart and never realised.
