Just finished this.
The setting is unbelievable but the plot is a bit linear and "the book" sections bit long for my taste

Only just started this but hooked already

Just finished this, definitely up there with snow crash as my favourite Neal Stephenson book, although have only read four.

The £100 rx6600 is here. Swapped out the RTX 2060. Forgot to do any benchmarks before swapping but definitely running cooler and quieter. Also sure the 2060 didn't break 100 FPS on fh4 1080p ultra preset.
I also need to dust my rig.

Right here's the plan. Bought a rx6600 for £108 off eBay yesterday all being well will trade my RTX 2060 into cex for £100 voucher. Use that and £15 to buy a Ryzen 5 5600 so will have gone from a Ryzen 5 4500 and RTX 2060 to a 5600 and rx6600 for around £100 after selling the 4500 later.

Post your favourite film from the year you turned 18

Top level trolling from my 7 year old earlier that @safers.bsky.social will appreciate.
Five year old having a mini meltdown as died on Minecraft because it wouldn't turn around. 7 year old immediately starts singing the turn around part of total eclipse of the heart at him.

Just won an eBay auction for a secondhand GPU. Having some buyer remorse. Although seeing I paid the same that CEX offers for a cash trade in on the card makes me feel a bit better. Also should be able to sell my current GPU for around the same price.

eBay decides to play up as placing a bid with less than a minute to go. Nearly had a rx6600 xt for £140

When it wasn't pissing down it was quite pleasant.

Will have to check out my local home bargains. Think I'm down to my last eight cans.

Not seen in bottles before. My local Lidl has been stocking cans of it but sadly not seen any for a few weeks so think the supply may have dried.

Happy new office furniture day although I got to share it with the kids. Also while able to hide a few retro handhelds from the missus. No hiding the 3 pcs.

More fun

Having fun on Assetto Corsa

My wallet feeling nervous

youtu.be/QTxsMwZHxIU?...

Back safely from the first skate park run of the year. Running time felt bit shorter than usual and few signal issues. Putting it down to first run for over 6 months.
Charging batteries again and if weather holds will do a test in the garden later.

Yeah think the outcome still stood. As I said my only memory now is the fallout with all the be careful what you say, you leave the room not them so can't be recorded etc all made it feel more exciting than asking why had 4 days off sick in the last 6 months

Also a Greggs next door to Tim's too without venturing further afield. Will end up spending the pay rise on food and train tickets

New job starts Monday. Starting to get the new job nerves, especially as more office based. However there is a Tim Hortons at the end of the street so sure @pablo0151.bsky.social would agree it's a good move

Slightly off topic but remember someone in Tesco left their phone recording in their jacket during the break in an investigation or disciplinary meeting.
Not sure outcome in that case but offshoot was TLs had to leave the room in future. Ready made excuse when got questioned on my many smoke breaks

Quite a bit different to the TV series too

Odd not working. I own numerous anbernics, powkiddys and miyoo minis all with custom firmwares and never had any issues with them.

You are flashing the correct version of knulli for the device? If I recall correctly from installing knulli on my rg34xxsp need to match the knulli version with the hardware revision.

Fleets out of storage. Have got upgraded oil shocks to go on the boys trucks. However as they get bashed up the skate park waiting till they break one of the stock shocks first.

Jet washer broke now. To be fair is over 10 years old and was expecting this. Not in the mood for buying another outdoor appliance today so going to pack up and play some steam deck.

Lawnmower finally packed up today. Immediately ordered a new one from Toolstation took the old one to the dump and picked up the new one. Told the missus. How do you know it's a good one, good deal, read reviews etc....
It's a £50 lawnmower if it shit will put up with it for a year then get another

Have put over 7 hours into hyper echelon on the deck now. Still not very good at it but the constant upgrading of your ship keeps me going back. Not sure if id recommend it but if like me you claimed it free with epic games it's worth a go

The British press will no longer attend Max Verstappen’s future press conferences.

This is not intended as a show of support towards the journalist Verstappen ejected at the Japanese GP, merely a lack of interest in a driver sitting ninth in the standings.

Shorter run this morning after Sunday's 15k run.
