TBH its probably been close to that since I used it. Shame, It used to be a solid tool.

Piggybacking off this, is Ccleaner still any good?

After dealing with Scorptec a few times, I stopped buying off Umart.

I will die on this hill. BBT was 6 seasons of a quality sitcom dragged out over 12. If a skilled editor went through and cut out all the filler, it would be a much better show.

Also last night my daughter and newborn were asleep, I turned on the playstation and... needs an update that will take 90 minutes.

The biggest thing about consoles was that they "just work" no driver bullshit or updates.

Yeah I accidentally a word.

I once bought a car in about 2009 and yeah the tyres held air but were dry rotted but held air, I was thinking about driving it home nice and slow and gentle.

Then I saw "Made in West Germany" on the sidewall, I called a towtruck.

The problem isnt "could AI be useful?" Because yes, it very much could Its "Can AI be trusted with the data it needs?" because thats also a conversation about "Can the organisation that owns the AI be trusted with the data?" and "Can those people be trusted to work for the betterment of society?"

Imagine if you had live tracking information about every car on the road nationally and could map out their typical routes. That information could be so useful in terms of traffic optimisation, planning future road developments, enhancing and expanding public transport. If you reduced the amount of driving time and miles done by a typical car annually by 10% thats effectively 10% less emissions, 10% less petrol used, 10% less tyres... you get the idea.

Now do you trust your government, let alone a private profit seeking entity to use that data ethically to reduce consumption? Because I sure as fuck dont.

Its like Costco, I dont LOVE any big corporation but if I have to give money to one it would be the one that treats employees like people and appreciates its customers.

Thats the one thing I do like about Tesla. They were well styled. No pointless vents or wank. They just looked good.

I know its a bit off topic but at least in Australia all the free to air channels have their own app and if you have them all its a not insignificant selection.

 

I realised today that I cannot actually remember the last time I felt relaxed. I'm so fucking tired.

 

The memes about it coming starting to pop up in mid october. Its one joke about the song being overplayed, the joke is never original, Ive never seen a creative version of it. If old people have "boomer humor" whats the short term for "Millenials without two brain cells to rub together who will share on any joke that they understand"

The song is well produced overplayed pandering pop garbage. The jokes about it suck more.

 

Ive been looking into what I can put together for the price I can get a Samsung q990f system for and this reciever seems to do everything I want and it has the benefit of being cheapish.

Essentially I want to watch 4k blurays on a 4k tv with good surround sound. I love the "one box, minimal wires, no legwork" nature of the Samsung. That has value to me. BUT its not quite as good and if something in the bar goes dead, the whole setup is pretty much garbage. So I'm exploring my options.

Second hand receivers that arent 15 years old are still demanding half of what that receiver costs me new, and it seems to have everything that someone setting up a budget 4k 5.1 home theater could want. So, thoughts?

 

Ok, I need an honest, no BS assessment on how a Samsung q990d system will compare to a cheap 5.1 (or 7.1 etc) system.

I can get a q990d for $1400aud which includes rear speakers and a sub. Will connest with the samsung tv and its all just ready to go out of the box.

Surround sound setups range from free to $40,000... of course a well thought out setup will be better but I just want to hear the cars overtaking me when I watch Ford Vs Ferarri.

For the "sub 2k" price bracket. As a novice, how much am I leaving on the table really?

 
 

You still look a bit of a dick, but so much less bad now.

 
 

17x7.5,, has a made in england stamping but no definitive stampings for pcd, offset or centerbore. Look like RS Cosworth wheels but arent. Has a retaining bolt hole for the flat bolt hole cover (which I'll post in another comment, which matches some 90s ford wheels) owner says they came off a Peugeot but my fellow french car enthusiasts say they definitely arent an OE Peugeot wheel.

 

Yes, Its a Nazi salute. I just didnt want to load the question.

 

 

If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997... which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.
