    PCSPECIALIST One-liners

    It depends on which country I'm working that week. UK work is Monday to Friday, sometimes I have to start Sunday afternoon, to get to a delivery that would be impossible from a Monday start. EU work is Sunday to Thursday, which often runs into Friday morning. Minimum is 45 hours off for a...

    PCSPECIALIST One-liners

    I've got the perfect job for an introvert. Go to A, collect this load, take it to B. Distance from A to B is 2,000 km. At a maximum speed of 90 kmh, that takes 2+ days. 2 days, on my own, in a truck cab, driving, sleeping, not at the same time hopefully. When I get to A, and B, I report in, am...

    PCSPECIALIST maybe your phone maybe listening to you afterall

    That sounds good. I have a friend in Ukraine. They can't use many apps, like Messenger or Whatsapp. Government restrictions I think, but I'll look into that. Signal might be just the thing. It might also be blocked as well though. I'll have to find out. Then I'll have to learn to speak...

    PCSPECIALIST maybe your phone maybe listening to you afterall

    I've never even heard of Signal. After a quick look at the site, it looks interesting. Is it any good? I don't have any Smart Speaker, nor do I want one. They have to be listening to you at all times, otherwise how are they going to hear you say "Smart Speaker, what time is it?". And if they...

    PCSPECIALIST More Playstation games coming to PC

    Starting at 7 is a long lay in 😊 I started at 5 today, that is 5 am for clarity, there are definitely two 5 o'clocks in a day :oops: But I don't work a fixed number of hours. I start when I need to and finish once the work is done. That was 4 30, pm, today :unsure:

    PCSPECIALIST A better answer than EV's

    Oh good, I haven't totally forgotten all that stuff they jammed into my skull way back in the day 😂 So essentially we'll all be driving nuclear powered cars and lorries. Hopefully with the reactor in a totally indestructable cell of its own. I'll never be driving one, I expect, but my daughter...

    PCSPECIALIST A better answer than EV's

    As far as I'm aware, we get hydrogen (and oxygen) from water by electrolysis. And it takes 2 units of electrical power to get 1 unit of hydrogen power, roughly. This is from memory of basic O and A level physics, 40+ years ago, so have I just plain got that completely wrong? So, does this race...

    I think it's the 'how do I do that?', which the OP is after.

    PCSPECIALIST Benchmark Results Leaderboard

    So now I've had some spare time, I thought I'd do a run of 3D Mark Benchmark tests. This is the updated Ulfheanor, with AMD R7 7700X and ASUS AMD RX 7900 RX. It's just as I'm using it now, nothing adjusted. Exactly as it has been being used to run games, the usual kind of programmes for a home...

    PCSPECIALIST How do I update my profile signature?

    Ah, OK I'll try that. Ahaa! It worked 😊 It was the actual emoticon it didn't like. Just using the old keyboard smilie input put it back :LOL:

    PCSPECIALIST How do I update my profile signature?

    As per the title. A few months ago, I updated my GPU to an ASUS AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. As I have my computer spec' in my sig', I tried to update it to reflect the upgrade. I've tried several times since. Every time I try, on clicking 'save', I get this message > Oops! We ran into some problems...

    PCSPECIALIST Help With Gaming pc Specs.

    Check out Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed and the like on YouTube. They all do monitor reviews, produce 'Best Monitor for a price range' lists, comparisons of similar spec monitors, and some do HDR compatibility. Quite often, although the manufacturer claims it's, lets say HDR 400, it isn't...

    PCSPECIALIST Can You Pet The Dog?

    There's a puppy in Days Gone. You have to rescue it and give it to your best mate. That's a game mission. You can't actually pet it, but you find dog toys throughout the game, which you give to the puppy :love:
