Fair point that, I went to one store, but all the phones were caged, which meant I could not grab them. I would not buy an S24 Ultra though, I do not see the reason to upgrade from mine for that much money. I want the 120Hz display, as I feel the 15 would feel sluggish after 2.5 years of high refresh screen, plus I like a smaller telephoto lens. When I had the 6S it was great, and in peoples hands the iPhone looks like a nicer feeling phone, but S24 has that look as well. It might be the whole "grass is greener" thing, but it is a bit of a toss up. Of course keeping my S21 Ultra is an option as well, if downsizing in not that big of a change

I have an S21 ultra for 2.5 years, and in general I do not have any complaints with it. I like the 120hz display, I use 2 cameras only (0.6 and 3x lense) and that is it really. The display just got cracked, and it would cost me £350 to repair both the front and the back, and it made me look around for option. I had large phone for the past 10 years, HTC M8, iPhone 6S plus, note 8 and now the S21 ultra, and I realised that I want a physically smaller phone. My s21 ultra barely fits into my pocket, and it can be difficult to handle, and honestly I just don't need a large display, all I do is instagram scrolling and reading work emails sometimes. What are peoples experience by downsizing, are there any features that you started missing, or was the smaller device worth it? I am looking at 3 phones now, S24, Pixel 8, 15 Pro (in this order), but I would be happy with repairing the screen as well.

Samsung indeed does, I had a 3.5 years old Note 8, cracked screen, worn battery and charging connector, and I traded in for £200 refund from Samsung on my S21 Ultra. You are absolutely right, if the GW5 is indeed incredible I can change it. So 3 days in, battery is over 1 day, it tracks my heart rate well, and the Samsung health app is great showing the average heart rate, and it stores the data, so I can look back on my day and see if my heartrate is too high And the app is subscription free, unlike the fitbit app for the $20 price you cant complain then, and you can save up easily for the GW5/Pixel watch

Thank you, I went with a 46mm Classic, so far it is great, and the app has all the features I want I agree and understand, but as I said it is for actually tracking my health from now until October, so I wanted to wait the least amount of time, otherwise I would have waited.

After a tough year I realised that it is time for me to invest into a smartwatch to check my sleep, heartrate and to monitor my health in general, as I have long covid and my body is a bit funky still. I have watched every review that's out there, including the Quantified scientist, who tests watches against scientific equipment, and I came to the conclusion that either a Fitbit Charge 5 or a Samsung Watch 4 would suit me well enough, the main decider here would be price/availability (I would buy the galaxy watch used from FB Market) and the apps. Which of the apps is better for heart rate tracking plus overall health tracking? If I could export the data out that would be really handy as well, but honestly I do not know what features I would need. My phone is a S21 Ultra. I would use each the watch with the correlated app. I heard that for the fitbit app to get the full experience I would need to spend a monthly charge (£8/m), not sure about Galaxy Health. I could not really find up to date info about them, and nor real comparisons. I do not want to wait for Watch 5/new fitbits or the pixel watch, as I want to track my health ASAP, plus both of them would suit me well IMO.

After 3 years of daily driver duties it is time to retire my trusty Note 8, as the battery dies at 20% and the screen is cracked a bit. So I was thinking about my next phone, and I realised that my favourite feature of any phone I have used is the pen, its bit of a gimmick, but I use it regularly and it is useful. Naturally I looked at Note 20 Ultras, but then I heard about the S21 Ultra supporting the S-pen as well.. which confuses things. Price is very similar, on one week there is better deal on the Note, on the other the S21, so it is not really a factor, and the 128GB model would be plenty for me I know that the S21 is slightly better as per technical specs, but I am just worried that the case with the S pen holder would be too bulky, and I like my Note hence I am leaning towards the Note. So my questions to you, is which one do you prefer, if you have the Note 20 Ultra, are you happy with it, if S21 Ultra are you happy and is the case with the pen too bulky?

Hi all, So I need a new chair for my PC and I have a budget of £300-400 There are 2 routes I see currently. Either a used good Herman Miller Mirra 2 for around £350, or a brand new gaming chair like noblechairs hero or something similar I am not looking for coolness factor, all I want is comfort, great ergonomics for my health and looks would be just a bonus In your opinion which option should I go for and why?

I am in the exact same boat, core temp reports around 60 C° temp when I am just watching a 1080p stream and web browsing, which is outragous. What I see is the voltage is really high (1.4V when watching a stream) and the CPU is boosting all over the place rapidly, so it might be a cooler issue (I will change it if I see a sale or have funds, its a bit small) but it can be a boosting issue, check these numbers. I will try to find more information on this behaviour

Right I sorted it its all good Cause: Battle.Net Call of Duty Modern Warfare dowload corruption. They are aware of the issue, not sure about the whole corrupting partition tables. Symptoms: Disk shows up in Device Manager, and Disk Manager says it needs to be formatted. Solution: DONT INSTALL ANY OF THE PAID SOFTWARES FOR PARTITION RECOVERY, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO WORK, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE FROM DODGY COMPANY. Learn from my mistake, as a diagnostics engineer with panic, I have made this mistake... Get a software called TestDisk. It is free, command line interface and works wonders. Saves you £35..

Hey guys, I was trying to install COD MW from the battle.net launcher today, and it just could not. So I have closed the program, restarted my PC and now I it cannot find the partition on the SSD. On that hard drive I had a save folder with some old pictures and data I would like to keep. For some reason I have placed my save there and not my save SSD that I usually do... Is there any way to recover those files? I am aware that there are some freeware programs out there that I could use, but not sure which one should I go for. Disk Manager sees the drive but it sees it as a new, unallocated drive and asks me to repartition it. If I do that I would lose all my files on it wouldn`t I?

I have a 144Hz monitor, but when the FPS goes below 150 FPS, the spray gets choppier. Look, I know it sounds ridiculous, but this is the only game where I need that high FPS. Before I have upgraded for 12GB, I had 8GB and a GTX 770. I got roughly the same FPS on the same settings.

Hey guys, So I just upgraded my PC and I have noticed that my FPS is not shooting up for some weird reason. My current set up is i7 3770, 12GB RAM (4th memory slot is poo), GTX 1070 I am usually playing on 1080p, low setting, very high shader and no MSAA or FXAA and I get only around 200 FPS, with some dips below 150. While I was watching the major with high settings and a bit of MSAA, I had got around 80FPS. Temps are fine, nothing goes above 50C, GPU load is around %60, and CPU load is %70, nothing gets maxed out. Online I have seen an average of 300FPS at low settings. Any idea?

Normally I would say you are right, no preorders. my first and last preorder was Titanfall 1 If they would ship me a box of shite with a picture of CD project red employees giving me the finger with an extended gameplay video on floppy disks for £200... I would say still worth it

I will preorder the collectors edition game. I might not be able to pay rent but I do not care

If that would be the case nVidia would have told us right away.
