    12th gen Intel is probably the way to go right now. If you're willing to migrate your current RAM and do the new build in the same case, you can get a lot of CPU and motherboard for £800 - you can easily get a 12700K with a solid Z690 DDR4 motherboard, like the MSI Z690 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 or the Asus ROG Strix Z690-A D4 for around £600, which would obviously leave enough money to include a RAM upgrade if you feel that's necessary, or you can just save the money for a future upgrade.

    At least wait for zen 3. A 6700k at 4.5ghz is going to perform the same or a bit better in games than a 3700x.

    It's so easy to forget that those drives are only from about 10 years ago around the dawn of SSD. I used to rock 2x WD Black 6401AALS which would do like 250MB/S sustained reads and 220MB/S sustained writes with sub 10ms seek times. Nice drives, still have them even.

    Dash charge is objectively the best fast charging solution yet.
     
    It's retarded to kill it.

    I think it would look better in gloss with the reflections in the water. Maybe more of a satin if you can get that.

    aj101202 reacted to daniielrp in Gloss Vs Matt Print   
    I'd go glossy, the reflections and colours will look great. It'll likely cost a bit more, though I haven't used a printing shop in a while so don't know if glossy is any cheaper these days.

    I'd do some more editing if I were you before printing.  Look at the noise in the sky, they'll become more prominent in a print.

    aj101202 reacted to AkiraDaarkst in Gloss Vs Matt Print   
    As for the paper, or the finish on the paper, it depends.  Your photo looks like it would go well on a glossy finish, however it could easily go well on a satin or silk finish.  Where are you (or whoever will get the print) planning on hanging it?  Is it going to be framed with a glass or resin/plastic panel covering it?  Will there be direct sunlight or artificial lighting (and what kind) shining on it?
     
    One thing I would suggest, if the lab or print shop lets you or if the prices are cheap, ask them if they can print out samples of your photo (in smaller size) on various types of paper with different finishes.  Or ask them if they have booklets with sample prints on different types of paper.
     
    Personally I'm not a fan of glossy, I find that it scratches easily without something over it to provide protection.  And it also reflects light, so choosing the right spot to hang a glossy print is important.

    aj101202 reacted to thegreatgazoo in Pokemon go latest update doesn't allow you to listen to Tunein radio   
    Same problem here. Found a solution for Android.
    Install "snap widget drawer", which lets you access desktop widgets from a pulldown notification window. Add the Tunein widget to the snap widget drawer. While playing Pokemon Go, pull the drawer down and press play on the widget.
    Made a video in case it helps:

    Interesting that they finally got the concept working, but it kinda reminds me of the shoes that BMW launched recently, you tighten those with a screw mechanism on the back of the shoe.
    yeah the samsung version will be the bomb.
