Nice. I'm all for making the most of my purchases, and when the time comes I'll get something more efficient etc - nonetheless, fingers crossed that'll be another decade. My hi-fi system is 25 coming up on 26 years old. Rotel

Oh thanks! I didn't realise this was a possibility. Edit: Ah the flat ones are still fine, they have decent glass in them - it's the plastic milk/bottle door bins (also called bottle shelves or guards) that are cracking up.

Ha ha, I just made a post that reads almost exactly like yours. Saw yours after. We might have the same model fridge. :)

As we are discussing anecdotes, my Samsung fridge is over 15 years old and still ticking along ok. I've cracked one of the plastic shelves and it's hard to get replacement parts, that's all. And for a nearby post: Older phone

I think you last point is very important. For overall health, going for "failure" in weight lifting appears to be the delusional to me; it's much better to lift at a consistent, repeatable level than to greatly increase the r

This. They've been fighting the EV transition tooth and nails, it really needs to be called out. I mean, how nice an EV would that new Insight of theirs just released have been? The design is gorgeous. Instead we get yet another hybrid

The honesty on display is so amazingly old school. Love it.

Absolutely. As an EV owner who wants to keep his car for at least ten years, it doesn't make sense to me to dull out the high capacity batteries to support the grid. It seems to me that it would be better to use recycled batteries for

On my S21 Ultra the viewfinder will sometimes show a brightened image, to what I would prefer. A long hold on the focus point brings up an exposure slider, which lets you easily darken the image. It works really well, but the Samsung doesn&

Crazy, another hour gone by and it's still down (in Australia, at least).

Confirmed still down in Australia two hours later. (I'm on the NBN, with Aussie).

Twitter managed that on their own; is down in Australia at least.

Over twenty years in Australia and I still haven't gotten used to it (being 32C / 89.6F) on Christmas. So I do miss that, to be honest. The difference to my family's place in Norway right now (-21C/-5.8F) is stark. As a

I truly see it as a Chinese campaign to dumbify our society. We are swallowing it hook, line and sinker.

As a somewhat responsible parent I see TikTok as intellectual poison, or attention pornography at best. It is banned in my house. (I grew up on the Vic20/C64/Amiga etc; am not a Luddite).

To me it would be the opposite; we all have our faults, so how do they manage the feats that they do? There's no point idolizing people for their accomplishments in the "they must be perfect" kind of way. Ie I look at John an

I guess you could say doing it right wasn't exactly rocket science.

Except there was a crapload of social engineering testing around this feature that was just skipped altogether. Suddenly that simple change had the potential for catastrophic consequences.

True! The Wikipedia entry makes for really good reading, so much went into its making: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Hard Aliens: My son suffered from night terrors in the not too distant past - I'd rather n

It was an amazing bonding time actually, so yes very good points. There were quite a few things to explain. All the best for the journey ahead!

Yes. I showed my 12 year old son Die Hard for the first time the other day. He absolutely (...) loved it . Unprompted, he talked about how good all the effects were - they didn't look like the bland CGI he is used to. And he absolutel

Nice, good times ahead for us virtual pilots! I'm likely going to do another CPU upgrade as well, probably end of next year once/ if DDR5+AM5 mobo pricing has settled down a bit - but mostly because I want my son to have a better

Absolutely. Personally, I'll be excited to see higher colour depth for my next HTPC GPU and monitor upgrade. I can really notice colour banding, and having 12 bit colour will be a game changer for content consumption. I'm disappoi

That's awesome re the Threadripper Pro! Yes, DCS World in particular, but also Star Citizen (where nothing else comes close at the moment) and to some degree iRacing. It went from stuttering all the time (bad 99% lows) on a well overcl

Great to see AMD focusing on performance per watt. I might very well jump ship now; will be interesting to see the reviews - I'm into the kind of "poorly optimised" simulators that saw a massive impact from the 5800X3D. The

Nice, ha ha. I was going to say, look into Undervolting. I saw 95% perf at 60% of the power come up, ie 270w; that's actually going to be superb (very cool, quiet, still extremely performant). So maybe configure that as an optional pro
