Don't play games on my computers - so no loss there. :-)

I don't like the weights. The power usage. The heat.

I'd rather pay for the electricity my Macs use than what that monster gulps.

I'll not be really happy until they are user-replaceable. My Samsung Galaxy S2 phone was the last I had with an accessible battery compartment. Certainly meant it was easy to extend life by just buying a (relatively) cheap second battery.

The Mac Studio can drive a 4K tv at the same time as the four 5K monitors. And what makes it very neat is that it is all done from one cable out of the MS.

I think driving four 5K monitors is pretty stupendous for the Mac Studios.

John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews I somehow don’t expect that #FreeNazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe will make it a priority to thank Boris Johnson for his efforts on her behalf when he was foreign secretary.

It would appear to be pretty impressive. I'm wondering what we'll see when they launch the M-based Mac Pro? I have a bottom spec. M1 mini - even then, it was a refurb! And it is pretty good. My much slower PC is noisier, hotter, bigger, predictably uses more electricity, and has little room...

It wasn't a matter of locating a specific card, but the limitations of the machine/mobo. I might have been able to get a slightly faster setup, but not enough to warrant cost and effort. Partner has just updated Monterey on her old MacBook Pro (I think it is from 2015). Still works fine. The...

Impressive. Where I used to live, we'd hear motor bikes being used a few times a year - never did find out where! But the reduction in noise will be most welcome to those in the area. There was also some closed biking facility near the motorway. Amazingly, at times you could smell the place...

I'm not convinced Microsoft find out anything extra by allowing Defender to run. We have always had limits on upgradability. Number of slots for RAM and spec. it will take. (I have been in the position of seemingly having the option to increase RAM but no suitable DIMMs being available for...

GOOD NEWS!!! Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori on way to airport to leave Iran after release, lawyer says – live Now we can watch Johnson et al. claiming credit for achieving this. And shout liar and other suitable words at our radios, TVs and computer screens. Or just randomly...

The new lot apparently changing cost from £2 to £1 to reduce barrier to purchase further still.

My experience of AVG (owned by Avast) is much the same as most other products. They are pigs to remove should you want to. And they can slug performance. And they tend to do things like plague you with pop-ups. Afraid I just let the built-in Defender do its stuff. You might be surprised how...

I see Camelot has lost the National Lottery contract. And a Czech company with claimed links to Russia has won it. Another fine example of taking back control.

A suitable size of flywheel could be used to make a refrigerator which has virtually no excess start-up current... :)

The more recent refrigerators have a massively reduced start up current compared with older models. I'd definitely look at ratings and not just assume, but I think this is widespread. With many old models, you could really hear and feel a thump when the motor started. And the sheer weight of...

How big is big? A Bosch 319 litre refrigerator, which isn't exactly small, currently available is rated at just 90 watts. Which needs one huge great multiplication to get to a single kw - let alone 3.

Is it even possible to become a multi-billionaire, oligarch or not, without having made some deeply questionable deals, made some deeply unpleasant associations (I'll not use the word "friends"), dodged numerous laws, etc.? I suspect not.
