AMD: killing it with great supported CPUs across two sockets lasting multiple generations Also AMD: killing off future game-optimised driver support for the not at all old AMD Radeon RX 5000 & 6000 graphics cards. I only just replaced my RX 6600 last week but how long will my 9070 XT be supported?

I kind of wish there were more Mon-Fri 9-5, 10-6, 11-7 etc factory jobs in and around London - I don't think I'd be unhappy in one for a year so long as I got paid, had weekends off and flexible annual leave.

Laws and regulations I would make for issues regarding AI -must not be used to replace human jobs, only to aid them -must not be used to mislead or trick someone or a population when imitating a real person -real people must not be imitated for sexual reasons

How do the multi-millionaires and billionaires pouring everything into AI to replace more human jobs expect to stay multi-millionaires and billionaires when the increasing levels of unemployed job-seekers caused by AI replacement can't afford to buy their products anymore?

The new European Schengen Entry/Exit System (EES), kiosks take a photo of a traveller's face and requests their right hand's fingerprints. What are the arrangements for -people who have had fingers amputated on their right hand? -people who have lost their entire right hand? -Double amputees?

Is that Andrew "oh no meee shoes!" Jarvis? #F1 #MexicanGP #MexicoCityGP

I don't understand the booing towards Lando Norris either #F1 #MexicanGP #MexicoCityGP

Love that fan's sign saying "LEWIS & CHARLES - IGNORE THE STRATEGY CALL!!" #F1 #MexicanGP #MexicoCityGP

Impressive race from Haas and Ollie Bearman! Congratulations to Lando Norris - championship is super close again. Damn that VSC at the end though. #F1 #MexicanGP #MexicoCityGP

I am now the happy owner of an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT :)

Greg's big ball swinging game is just him reliving his secondary school drama teacher days (as referred to via Maisie Adam earlier) 😆 #Taskmaster www.reddit.com/r/AskUK/comm...

Can't say I'm enjoying the spitting task in #Taskmaster haha

Points for Nico Hulkenberg! And Yuki Tsunoda managed to score again today too. #F1 #USGP

Waited and now seen

A very funny episode of Taskmaster tonight

Battlefield 6 is just too addictive. Runs so smoothly too compared to 2042 - no (shader?) stutter at all.

Dear AMD and all board and card partners of AMD - please make sure you continue offering 8-pin PCIe power connector options for all "RDNA 5" graphics cards so we don't have to worry over 12V-2x6 power connectors charring, melting and burning at the connector pins or cables.

Not a fan of the latest YouTube media bar. Previous one was better

Is there any data for countries ranked by lifts/elevators getting stuck with occupants inside per capita? I always seem to see videos of Americans getting stuck in lifts/elevators. This led me to Google search "why do Americans always get stuck in elevators?".

I remain sceptical over whether the Israel-Gaza war ceasefire will really hold up. I fear now that everyone has their remaining people back that if things spark up again, any hesitation from Israel to obliterate Gaza further could be gone. Not even cautious optimism for peace - just a wait and see.

How irritating - was in the process of building a new desktop PC for my father and discovered the bottom expansion bracket had not been machined correctly. 1 to 3 can be popped out from the little weld holding them but No. 4 hasn't even been cut, only the outline to cut etched in. Return processing.

Pre-ordered Battlefield 6 on the EA App and it doesn't even work

I wonder what Taskmaster would be like in the year 200,100 on the Satellite Five Game Station in Doctor Who

It's disappointing to hear there will be no factory-entry Porsche in the Hypercar class from next season in #FIAWEC

The adverts I get nowadays - this one's from Temu (which I have never purchased anything from) 🙃

Nothing quite like a bit of jackhammering and construction work noises in the background of your podium national anthems 😅 #F1 #SingaporeGP

Congrats to George Russell and Mercedes on winning the #SingaporeGP. 🏆🏁 Congrats to McLaren for winning the 2025 #F1 World Constructors Championship 👏🏆 No more team orders for the World Drivers Championship between Norris and Piastri (I hope)?

Dual/multiple-citizenship for British/aspiring British citizens must not be threatened.

Got a new laptop. Not intended for gaming but I wanted to have a chance at it. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 with AMD Radeon 860M and 32 GiB of RAM = decent experience in Battlefield 2042. Playing at 1920x1200 at low settings with dynamic resolution scaling and getting over 60 fps. BF6 capable with FSR?

If my dream of the UK (and Ireland) swapping membership of the CTA for the Schengen area membership were to happen one day then ID cards would be sensible. However, as irrelevant as that is now, I am against a digital-only ID. Don't tie us even more to our phones. 1/

Sadiq Khan has never rubbed it in our face that he's a Muslim or pushed for any religious agenda, yet Trump keeps reminding us that he's a Muslim and it's somehow the end of Western Civilisation. I don't think about our Mayor's religion until Trump makes it an issue because it hasn't been one.

America is getting closer and closer to the reality of the American Reich in The Man in the High Castle

Stayed home all day to wait for my new laptop to arrive. Watched the tracking from UPS all day and then it got past 19:00 and nothing, then updated to be delivered by 21:00, then a delay by one business day. So bloody annoying. I had stuff I wanted to do today and now I have to wait another day!

My brother's wife is Slovenian. She has settled status and has lived continuously in the UK since 2013. They bought a house, have a daughter and they're paid well, but £60k??? So many individuals and families at risk. Also, some nationalities forbid acquiring dual-citizenship by naturalisation.

Home from work and delighted to see that Carlos Sainz managed to capitalise on his front row start for a P3 finish with the Williams! Smooth Operator on the podium! 🥉🏆🏁 #F1 #BakuGP #AzerbaijanGP

Labour have finally done a good thing - the United Kingdom now officially recognises Palestine. However, it should not have taken the atrocities committed by Israel for Palestine to be recognised and despite recognition, the British Government continues to sell weapons to its oppressor.

Way too many Monday (.) com ads on YouTube. After a 20 seconds of research, I found good reasons not to use them.

Got home to discover the 100,000+ march of racists, fascists and thugs in London. We need to exceed that number in the March to Rejoin the EU with a message of peace on 18th October.

I wouldn't mind St George's flags flying if they weren't flown for racist, xenophobic & jingoistic reasons while also accompanied by the Union flag & the county flag. One day I'd like to add-in the European flag when we hopefully re-join the EU. But currently the flag is flown for vile reasons.

Time to hold UN assemblies in another country

Perez and Bottas were sensible choices for Cadillac. #F1

Israel must be stopped. Halt arms sales and military contracts. Threaten to put troops into Gaza (and the West Bank) to defend Palestinian civilians from Israeli attacks while providing food, water and medicine.

From people and organisations I like, feel nothing for and dislike - please stop using AI to create posters and animated imagery. It looks weird and the amount of spelling mistakes generated by AI annoys the hell out of me.

The EuroMillions has rolled over again to another huge 9-figure jackpot. If I won I wouldn't tell everyone but I would still support a wealth tax and pay it if implemented - I'd still be rich and so would all the rich opposed to it. Sadly, the most I've won recently is £3

Looking forward to Battlefield 6 - I need to retire my PC though - I built it over a decade ago and it's still on a Haswell i7-4790. My PC is begging to sleep.

Haven't been posting much recently, so here are a bunch of my thoughts and opinions in a thread, which I'm sure many agree with or is based on my agreement of what many have said about certain topics. 1/

I tried Threads from Meta. Date format is stuck in US-style MM/DD format even when set to English (UK). That annoyed me enough to not want to bother using it. DD/MM(/YYYY) 👍 MM/DD(/YYYY) 🤢 YYYY/MM/DD - good for file sorting YYYY年 MM月 DD日 - also fine because month (月) and day (日) are clear

Recognising Palestine is overdue. Halting arms sales to IL is also overdue. They must be done. It is 63n0c1d3 (not sure if I'm even allowed to spell it anymore after seeing who is being detained).

Balancing the desire to keep constituency MPs with the desire for #ProportionalRepresentation can be done. Mixed-Member PR (MMP) Merge every constituency with another for 325 constituency seats (ranked choice, NOT FPTP) and allow 325 party seats with a 2.5% threshold - regional list #PR.

I'm glad to see the careers of Greg Wallace and John Torode ending after their awful behaviour (Wallace's being deplorably worse). Although, I haven't liked either of them ever since they criticised a chicken rendang for not being "crispy" enough and their lack of meaningful apology to Malaysians.
