If anyone's interested, Staples near me are doing a Crucial MX100 512GB for £119. If anyone wants let me know. I personally thought it was quite a steal as the MX100 is faster then the similarly priced MX300's.

I was going to buy one but im saving that money for a UPS
 
saving that money for a UPS

i live in the back of beyond, all our cabling is suspended on poles and we never get blackouts, brown outs or dropoffs....why do you think you need UPS?

Because about two years back we had loft conversion. Part of the problem is the electrics werent really wired up perfectly. The sockets in the room are hooked up to the same circuit/breaker as the kitchen and because my mum loves using 20 year old or 'questionable' devices to do her cooking. She's end up blowing a fuse and tripping the breaker quite a few times.

On top of that, The lights here occasionally suffer from brownouts. and since ive had to replace two premium AX series corsair PSUs in the last 3-4 months, I think it might be best that i get a PSU to stabilize the electricity my PC uses
 
i wasnt sure if i should post this story from my favourite online rag........:D




Couples across Wales have been celebrating Valentine’s Day by buying folded bits of cardboard and rubbing their genitals together.

The annual ritual makes the individuals feel more loved than they would have if they didn’t have bits of cardboard bought for them.

One romantic male, Tony Hardon told WalesOnCraic:
http://www.walesoncraic.com/thousan...ded-bits-cardboard-rubbing-genitals-together/



“Last year, my missis told me that she wanted the moon on a stick for Valentine’s Day. I thought she was talking bollocks and it turned out that she was. So I went down to Kwik Save and bought her a folded bit of card that said the words ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ on it and she was happy with that. There was me worrying about getting the moon on a stick and all she wanted was a card. Later on, I’ll be taking her out for some food because she’s a greedy cow and is only happy when she’s eating. After that, we’re going to go home, get our genitals out and rub them together. She always says that she feels more loved when we do that so I guess it’s something I’ll have to do.”

Tony’s girlfriend, Betty Bumflaps added:

“I love it when Tony buys me a piece of cardboard with the words ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ on it. It makes me feel so loved. I’m looking forward to Tony rubbing his genitals all over my face later too. Nothing is as romantic as Tony rubbing his bits all over my face. That’s what I tell him anyway. To be honest, I’d rather be cleaning the oven but I let him think that he’s being romantic. I have some anti-bac wipes next to my bed and I always wash my face afterwards when he goes to the bathroom for a dump.”

Valentine’s Day is celebrated all over the world to celebrate the fact that people rub their genitals all over each other.
 
Got talking to a friend of mine. If Ryzen does turn out to be an amazing peice of tech then he will be willing to take my 3930k system off me.

I'll still be keeping my 1070, PSU, Corsair H105 & HDD/SSDs though.
 
I play less and less games these days and find myself encoding, converted and compressing things daily. Ryzen seems interesting, but not sure I see any point switching from the 4790.

What happened to the system with your 970 in it?

I haven't had a 970 for years. Last GPU I owned was the R9 295x2 which served me for like 2 years?

Is that 1050ti faster than the 970?

Sold it and the full cover water block. Crossfire was very rarely actually working, and I didn't like the excessive waste of power and colossal amount of heat it was kicking out for the average performance. That and cause I didn't play games much any more it seemed like a total waste.

I've no idea, I'd say they're probably about the same. Only reason for the 1050ti is cause it's low profile and fits in this tiny quiet box.

I think the 970 is more on a par with a 1060 fwiw
 
The new Dai Phone 7 has been released and critics are already raving about its latest feature.

The new model comes with an ‘Unsend Text Message’ button which recalls texts sent in error, haste or under the influence of alcohol.

Spokesman David ‘Dave’ Davies told WalesOnCraic:

dai-phone.jpg



“People have been crying out for this feature for years. Only last night, I downed three bottles of Blue Nun and sent a cock pic to what I thought was my wife. Sadly, I somehow pressed the wrong button and sent it out to all my work contacts. Normally, I’d dread going into work on Monday but thanks to my new Dai Phone, I can recall my cock pics that I sent in error to all my work colleagues. The texts will simply disappear from other people’s phones which means that no one will have a picture of my cock on their phone. Not unless they’ve saved it to an external hard drive and then uploaded it to Facebook or something.”

Dai Phone user Tina WetCleft said:

“I’m always accidentally sending pics of my wabbers to people I shouldn’t so this feature will be a great addition to the portfolio of great erm…features. I shall be picking my new Dai Phone up on Monday when the shops open again.”

I haven't touched that game in a long time
 
Been awhile i've last showed up here..installed a dedicated wireless router for my bedroom as i got fed up with crap signal strength from my brothers room where the main router is which is only 5 steps away..Anyways i found a old Dell inspiron 1545 laptop last month from a electronic recycle bin in my office,cleaned it,replaced the old intel dual core with intel core 2 duo T9600,4gb ram,patriot 120gb SSD,windows 7 OS and new battery charger all for £100 and the thing works like a charm still as a machine that be mainly used for printing as my current home printer only supports windows 7. Only downside is the track pad is near enough unsuable and i can't deal with the poor/old screen quality for no more than 10minutes but it does the job fine.
Anyways..i've just ordered a Asus zenbook to use on the go,web guides and android programming if i need to on the go and on the hunt for new tyres..
How is everyone doing?

Should of waited for the Asus Ryzenbook
 
I need to stop drinking vodka alone...... :wtf::roll:

My better half is snoring on the sofa as I type, she bought a black hair dye tonight to do when she is unwinding and just being a general woman! happy times :)

Me being slightly tipsy (worse for wear) thought it would be hilarious if I applied said hair dye to myself whilst selfying and documenting how friggin hilarious it will be if she realises in the morning... My hair is dark brown anyway so I'm hoping it has some effect.... I decided to document the whole sad thing on my phone, sat here with hair dye drenched on my head and beard (who wants random greys on your beard??) (it's approaching the 20 min mark btw eeeek :D ) so.... yea, happy Friday people!!! lol hopefully if she doesn't kill me and I can figure out how to edit the videos together in a way that makes this as hilarious as I thought it would be in my drunken stupor then I will be reporting back shortly with my ultra sleek "YouTube" style video to rounds of applause....... haha :roll:
 
I just wanted to say it's nice to see that mailmans nuanced, subtle approach to debates has remained unchanged in the years I've been away.

Never change big guy x
 
Mexican President....."We are going to build a tunnel."

mexican-president.jpg



Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has announced that Mexico is going to build a tunnel under the Mexico/US border.

He said that the Americans were going to pay for the tunnel, which will cost $324bn.

He told WalesOnCraic:




“Trump can boast all he likes about his f*cking wall. I said to the missis last night that I should build a tunnel instead. She said that it was a good idea so I got up out of bed to draw some designs. I was there with a blank piece of paper and pen. It took me a good few hours but I eventually came up with something perfect. It’s of cylindrical design and will go underground.”

Enrique Peña Nieto said that the location of the tunnel hasn’t been disclosed to keep the Americans guessing.

“Shit, we’ve got hundreds of tunnels there already. The faster their lot are sticking up the wall, the faster our lads will be digging a tunnel underneath it.”

The White House hasn’t responded to the announcement, saying that they are still arguing about how many people turned up at Trump’s inauguration.
