It's funny, I didn't realise this was even a thing that people could get worked up about until this very discussion. Yeah, me either. I'm really into music, and I love streaming services because the algorithms constantly give me new bands to discover. Loads of them aren't for me, but the feedback l...

I use comparison sites for every kind of insurance we have, for every renewal. I have no loyalty, and pretty much always find a cheaper deal, even if only a little. Seems like it would make more sense for insurance co's to prioritise repeat custom, but since they don't this is the dance we have to p...

I'm not yet convinced this guy is mentally unstable.

I'd argue that mentally stable people don't attempt murder, even when pushed!

Oh she 100% does NOT support Trump, that much is undeniable. Finally a chink of light in the Media blackout of truth, which I hope will escalate. This orange arse has gotten away with the big lie for far too long: https://youtube.com/shorts/BVp64s4wTXM?si=6x-T4UHxvZqcSA6t The metadata says that's f...

It's... ok, I guess?

Did not grab me at all - nodded my head a bit, bailed out before the end. And I really love some of his stuff!

Somehow Disney were convinced it was going to be big, and they bought the lie so hard that they themed an area of their Animal Kingdom park around it, so they'll never stop pushing it.

I dunno how they decide which ones are available, but they already have some: PC Game Pass subscribers can currently access the following titles through Game Pass: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Assassin's Creed Origins Assassin's Creed Valhalla Far Cry 5 Far Cry 6 For Honor (Marching Fire Expansion) Ghos...

Stomped on the head while prone is more our policing style.

Destiny 2 Gambit mode though has and forever shall remain a borderline unhealthy addiction for me personally It's very hard to get a feel for the general feeling towards D2, partially I think due to the very vocal and polarised player base. I never play The PVP mode (Crucible?), I am terrible at it...

Just picked up the complete X-Files boxset on blu-ray (seasons 1-11), as I'm long overdue a rewatch from the beginning. I'm stunned as to how good the restoration is - considering it's over 30 years old now, it looks like it was filmed yesterday. Given its age, it was probably shot on real film whi...

A whole bunch of their policy ideas range from completely head in the clouds mindset to downright dangerous for the entire country.

I'd be interested to hear more of a breakdown here, a lot of it seems pretty sensible from where I'm sitting.

Not sure anyone else will know the names involved here, but…

Well, discrete is a silly name then A big eff off GPU and noisy fan is not discrete

Yes it is. It is not discreet though.

Discrete: separate or divided
Discreet: polite and careful

...you realise discrete *is* the gaming GPU, right?

That’s what I said!

If I'm round my girlfriend's and need more piece and quiet I'll try the 'discrete GPU' only route too. Pretty sure that's the opposite of what you want? Discrete GPU means it'll use the "real" GPU instead of the CPU, so now you have two heat-generating devices powered on. 2 fans going vs 1 going ha...
