Re: EV Thread

Different starting point, there’s less gains to be made on a car which is already fitted with 90+ % efficient drivetrain vs one which was only 20% to start with. This is kind of what I mean, there's not really a massive amount of potential left on the table when it comes to EVs I happened to watch ...

Re: EV Thread

The Macan will be the Taycan killer in the same way the Model Y is now the only Tesla you see. I hadn’t realised Porsche were going to update the Taycan with the tech from the EV Macan so quickly though. I think you’re right; I hope that means a gen2 Taycan Cross Turismo with 360 mile range is now ...

Re: EV Thread

For someone really "into" cars and technology, I have to admit, I'm very bored of electric cars already. They don't excite me, and it doesn't appear there's very much innovation/development going on? The biggest challenge people seem to feel about them is range, and when it comes to tackli...

@Gavster

If Sir likes camelphat, may I recommend Sir watch their set from Printworks?

I think the darker, more minimal aesthetic of both the venue and their performance/visuals works better

For sells: vintage Pioneer SA-608 amplifier

I've decided to sell my 1979 Pioneer amp It's one of these: https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/pioneer/sa-608.shtml It's in extremely good condition, almost "as new", and fully working (the blue VU meters are fully working and really bright still) The only niggle is a slight channel...

I wonder if, on the flip-side Tik-Tok have loads of people in Equador (and other places they don't run this program) registering via a VPN so they can get around this?

Re: Wales 20mph limit

In software/product management, we often find ourselves talking about outputs vs outcomes This data from Wales reminded me of this The average speed dropping is an output But the impact of that would be an outcome Has the number of accidents/injuries changed? Usually speaking, it's harder to ask &qu...

Re: Fricking Lasers!

Sounds like the Uzi of torches

Yes, the Uzi had a ridiculous rate of fire, which just means you run out of bullets quicker

Sounds like this torch is so bright, you can't really use it (at full brightness)

Re: The Watches Thread

Saw these recommended by AM on watch finder - https://underd0g.com/products/01mcbr Love a good micro brand and underd0g seem to offer something genuinely different (in a good way). IMO they're overpriced (at c£500) They use the Chinese-made ST-1901 movement that can be had in watches like this on A...

Re: The Watches Thread

Oh yeah, these aren't original designs @GG.

I've always preferred the BB58 (the red triangle behind the pip at 12, and the faux-tina) to the BB54 (black & white/silver look, no red triangle)

And I really don't like Tudor's fussy (to me) 5 link bracelet

And the SM is £140 :lol:
