@TrueBloodNet My Asus ROG has a Ryzen, stupidly over-speced for games, but great for editing. I've used Intel since Pentium III, never too late for a change.

I use separate SSDs (OS drive is for OS) so transfer of documents, cloud, and Steam library should be less hastle.

I'm pretty boring: I like understated cases, not bothered about LED fans; only window I want to see is the OS. 😏

Starting to look at a new PC. Was leaning towards pre-build, but I've built my last three desktops; I like my tower cases (Antec), and my 2070 Super hasn't given me reason to upgrade. Thinking it would be cheaper to re-use what I have. 🤷

Intel or AMD Ryzen, that is the question. 🤔

Always feels therapeutic.

@bluesbaby @DrFaustus Not a good day for him in Japan either...

I'm still buying the hard copy, mind you...:

@ceruleanbagel Good question, given the date. 😄

From BBC news in Febuary: "Smoking cannabis in many public spaces will become legal from 1 April."

Nice one, Germany!✌️🤘

"As of 1 April, adults are allowed to carry up to 25g of dried cannabis on them and cultivate up to three marijuana plants at home."

To those not familiar, Alan's saucy books are quite popular with the ladies.

When awarding him an MBE in 2000, the Queen said: “You give a lot of ladies a lot of pleasure.” 😂

@bluesbaby @DrFaustus Bar Adrian Newey, I'm not fond of anyone at RBR to be honest, but Helmut is particularly vile.

I'm guessing you won't find his books anywhere in North Korea either...

@veggiescott I'm looking forward to it. Personally I avoid any reviews these days, but would pay more attention to what the audience thinks and ignore the 'critics'.

@sfleetucker Will give it a 'read'. 🎧📖👍

Sad to see Indycar jumping the shark.

"IndyCar’s $1 Million Exhibition Race At A Club Track Was A Ridiculous Attempt To Recreate The Worst Parts Of Formula 1
No fan should be forced to watch a glorified test session dressed up as an opportunity to attract investors"

@awnaves Mine oscillates.

@ecksmc It's probably five hundred million in rubles, that he got for scanning those documents. 😏

@bluesbaby He's not been the same since McLaren. Definitely not the confident driver who showed up Seb, and toughest teammate Max ever had.

I do wonder if it's the new regs; he's been off the boil since, similar to Webber was with blown defuser and Kimi was with brake-by-wire. I remember Damon Hill hated and couldn't get to grips with the feel of grooved tyres.

Conversely, I refuse to believe Lewis has suddenly lost his mojo.
