  1. No Man's sky is installing, virgin are offering a speed upgrade and I think I've finally sorted out OBS to start streaming. Today is a good day indeed.

      It seems to me that it's mostly a very vocal few, and people running maxwell gpus that are having issues, I'm not the only one with a 770 that has it running smoothly

      Lucky. Glad you're enjoying it though. I've not heard anything good as I said.

      yeah, most people are complaining either due to it not performing well for them, or because it's "not what they expected" when it was never going to be elder scrolls: the final frontier, which I think most people were looking for.

  2. http://www.zboardshop.com/ that's what the z board is, it's the one Linus reviewed but they've made it considerably better than that model.
  3. flip knife, personal choice for convenience really, nothing to do with CS:GO. Z board or Boosted board?
  4. If I was a US citizen, I'd vote Clinton, purely because I would prefer her to get in than trump, at least she hasn't managed to bankrupt 4 companies and isn't blatantly racist (these days at least). If she was wise, Clinton would put Sanders as one of her secretaries of something or other, to get the backing of most millennials, and hope that trump manages to keep spouting absolute nonsense.
  5. flick g1 has arrived, feels interesting in the hand, definitely a lot lighter and lower than the g600, but the buttons feel nice and it seems responsive. Also have no issues with the wandering sensor as some people have reported. Expect a full review at some point in the future that may or may not exist.

    Just ordered myself a new mouse, gonna try out…

    so I've heard, and which one do you recommend?

    correct, it's not a zowie, never tried one, although they do seem to get some good reviews

    with the 3rd finger mouse button, I can have 24 macros all mapped out on the pad, and I can cycle through 3 profiles built into the mouse itself, so if I use one of the 12 on each profile, I can have 69 macros all set up at once, all within a few button clicks of one hand. Pretty handy if you ask me

    I'll keep the G600, I can use it for other games, other rigs, I like having the 12 side buttons, they're useful for setting up macros for when programming

  11. Just ordered myself a new mouse, gonna try out the fnatic flick g1, the G600 is just too heavy for use in overwatch.

      All of them past 2015. 

      The ones before had some sensor issues at lower sensitivities. I used to be able to out pace the sensor in my old EC1 eVo. With my ZA11 and EC1-A, I don't have that issue and I'm on roughly the same low sensitivity. 

  12. I'd give that a 7/10. the focus, colours and subject are all really good, you must have bribed it to pose like that for you! The only complaint is the brightness, maybe close the apeture a little more and it'd be even better. Here's another cars and coffee photo, took this about 3 meets back when there was a fair amount of italian supercars about, including an original F40 in yellow!

    it's when I'm at uni, I have chrome and firefox running, each with plenty of tabs, plus I'll have steam running, plus I'll likely have a few uni specific programs running that aren't the best optimised, shall we say.

    Oh a GPU upgrade is on the cards, I'm just waiting for a bit more money and the 1070 to drop in price a little bit. I don't even use 16GB yet, 12 is about the most I see used on average. To be honest, I'm not even sure that the front slot is clear enough to fit another stick of ram in. Maybe I'll get more ram another time.
  15. Is it worth adding another 16GB of ram to my rig, even if just for bragging rights? The current ram in my system, hyperx fury 1866Mhz has jumped £15 in price in about 2 weeks, and it doesn't look like it's coming down any time soon.

      I don't even know how people use more than 12 anyways... you video edit?

    That problem sounds very similar to me, a lot like I had with my Z3, the wifi would cut out whenever you tried to load anything with wifi. I think I hit my data limit twice before I picked up a new phone.

    yeah, one of my mates is on 3 and the coverage ain't as good as ee in liverpool, that's the main thing. Most places in Liverpool have 4G, I've only been to a handful of places in the city where I've been without 4G consistently.

    besides the awful customer service, general poor pricing, bad advertising, lazy app development, inept employees and low quality products (looking at you "free" battery banks) what have they ever done wrong? To be honest, 3 were going to get my signature, they've an unlimited data plan for the same price as my current contract, but this deal is pretty good, and ee do have good coverage.
  19. So EE have a great deal on sim only contracts for existing customers. 16GB of data, unlimited calls and texts for just £16.50 a month on a 12 month contract. I'm seriously tempted to just pay off my existing contract and go for this deal.

      Laying in bed, I have 2 bars on 3G with 3. Though they're growing extremely fast, they need to expand their coverage more than just a 2mm diameter. 

      Annoyingly, looks like my phone is going to die before I get my hands on something new. The WiFi no longer stays connected.

  20. So if this is going to be a theme, I'll rate two and post one, so the next person will rate one and post none 1. 7/10 I like the subject, as well as the background, although the muted colours kind of detract a little from it, overall a really nice photo though. 2. 9/10 This is really nice, the colouration, the subject, the scene all look great, wish I could find subjects like that when going to the countryside, sheep are kinda boring to photograph. So I've been going to the Liverpool Cars and Coffee a few times now, and I've gotten some photos from there, both off my phone and camera, so I'll be using those for this.

    they'll just nick one anyway, why do they care about the price of it?

    I'd love to get a GTX 1070, but with the cheape…

    It's not that I dislike AMD, if I wasn't already integrated into nvidias ecosystem then I'd switch sides in a heartbeat. I've helped one of my mates upgrade his GPU before today with an AMD GPU, and most of my friends have AMD based systems, I personally take the view thet whatever is the best is the one to use, and although the RX 480 is very very good, and my personal choice over the 1060, I just can't go for it due to my past decision to get a shield.

    480 is a no go, I can't use AMD, not when I have a shield and use gamestream getting a 980ti on ebay is also not an option, I'd rather avoid getting something for my main system from ebay, maybe for another rig I would consider doing so.

    Yeah, shame I need one for 1440p and possibly for good VR (If I can convince my lecturer to let me "borrow" a headset) that will last a good few years. I might just save for a 1070, it's only an extra week and a half's wages really.
