    Getting in to hacking

    The screenshot in Malevolence's post is simply ffmpeg converting a video (I use it all the time on my HTPC). Doesn't appear to be anything to do with hacking.

    Black Friday/cyber Monday - what would count as worth buying?

    At £270 new, it's £40 less than I paid in March. It's still a fantastic CPU for AM4 users who game so they're not going to go for peanuts. People appear to have been paying more that this on fleebay.

    Got a new sub and speakers for my PC

    Sounds like electrical noise is getting into the soundchip on the mobo. If it does it when loading games, this would point to the CPU or SSD. (you could test this out by listening to some music while creating a large zip file). I'd first make experiment to sure that all the cables are routed...

    What Will You Do If Windows 12 Isn't Free?

    If you already don't like Windows 11, why haven't you already moved to Mint if the decision is so easy?

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Flu and Covid double jab for me as soon as they're available. I had the double vaccination last year and had to take the following morning off sick as it hit me like a train and wiped me out for abut 18 hours (I'm 59). But it was a hell of a lot better than when I had "full fat" covid during...

    Official 2023 Singapore Grand Prix Thread - Marina Bay Street Circuit - Round 16

    I posted above to make the point that Williams were also handed out the same penalty so it wasn't "one rule for them and another for everyone else" and I agree, €5K is a joke for such dangerous behaviour. The speed differential is terrifying.

    Official 2023 Singapore Grand Prix Thread - Marina Bay Street Circuit - Round 16

    Red Bull has been fined €5,000, becoming the second team to receive that fine on Saturday as Williams has also been ordered to pay up over Logan Sargeant “clearly impeding” Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll – with Sargeant likewise escaping with just a reprimand due to the lack of a warning.

    Your bad driving encounters

    I don't know. I said I was "experienced" (having driven for 37 years and driven over 700K) and "competent". I made no claims to being "better than average", mindful that most men consider themselves to be "better than average" both on the road and in bed.........

    Little tiny blobs stuck to car.

    Make sure you throw that mit away! You shouldn't use a clay mit to wash the car, but only use it to remove bonded contaminants after you've got the car has been thoroughly cleaned. Clay/mits nearly always leave some degree of marring and ideally the car should be polished afterwards. Any marring...

    What network streamer

    One of the key things you need to consider is what are all "your music streaming services" as this may influence the best solution for what you want to achieve. I'd recommend that you take a look at the Bluesound Node. The new gen3 model is £550. I don't have one but they are popular and I...

    20 years ago today....

    I remember seeing a billboard in London advertising that AMD had broken the 1GHz barrier and thinking at the time "wow"! I bought my first PC in 2000, a Pentium III from PC World, it was terrible. So in 2001 I opened an account with OCUK and bought an Abit NF-2 mobo and Athlon Thunderbird and...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    I could understand a new road (or new restrictions) being unknown by the satnav for a while but that missing road in the screenshot i posted above has probably been there for 100 years. Once I've updated the map, I'll have to see if the road has reappeared and if it now has any awareness of...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Im sure I wouldn't have an issue if I used google maps either but I don't have android auto or carplay. i could possibly get carplay added but I don't have an iphone. I doubt potentially get a 3rd party android auto unit fitted but I'd be a) slightly concerned about how this would impact on...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Hoping that the EVO 2023-1 map update improves the ability of the satnav to be able to figure out if I'm actually on a road (see screenshot) and to be able to properly calculate city routes. I've wasted a heap of time trying to following the satnav through London and Bristol. e.g. "turn right"...
