OV9

My parents had MK1 Astra with rust orange seats that was horrible, I like all the rest though.

Even after all this time you still look at the Scorpio and think "what the fuck were Ford thinking?!"

Watched a couple of episodes last night, Flavio seems to be channelling that French bloke who was head of F1 before Bernie and was an even bigger prick.

Yep, 95 not bad though.

RAM is far more important for mainline laptop processors these days, for running multiple apps. And I mean, like, seriously, don't get less than 16gb, Windows and Chrome and Teams will gobble that memory up and make it chug.

Any modern processor that isn't an Atom or an ARM (qualcomm) should ...

Cool, thanks. Are AMD processors to be avoided?

I’m not up to date with current processors, which are the ones to have? AMD or Intel or are they much of a muchness? I need to get a new machine, it needs to run a Teams call all day while running things like YouTube, presentation software, Word and similar. All will be running at the same time. I ...

I use a camera lense brush so you can blow at the same time.

Having to coast at the end of the straights because the power is dropping off seems a pretty shitty form of motorsport however you dress it up.

No, they have a turbo 3.4 V6 non hybrid.

I quite fancy the Maersk container ship!

Try a factory reset (as Mik suggested )

Failing that get a price for a screen replacement.

If you cba with that, get a new phone :lol:

I take it you’ve done a search to see if it’s a known problem?


It's not a know issue that I can see. It's around £200 for a new screen, a lot to spend it it ...

AKOTSK is really trying my patience, I probably should've waited until it was done and binged the lot in a sitting. It's beautifully made and I am hopefull for an absolutely epic conclusion but there's just not enough in each episode to feel satisfying.

Fallout I gave S1 a shot and unexpectedly ...

My old iPhone SE2 is doing the same regularly, generally after doing something too quickly for it and it feels like it ...

No

The airflow monitoring things they use every year in testing?

I've had my S23 Ultra since they came out and the screen is starting to slow. Often when you use 2 fingers to zoom in nothing happens for the first couple of attempts. Can anything be done or is it time for a new phone?

A one make race series for these would be fantastic!

I wear Lee jeans as they come in 3 waist and are usually on offer on Amazon, they are really comfy and last well.
