  1. Miata? Are you sure that's not a C5 Corvette? Those are the only cars that came in yellow.
  2. That is true, however there's a ton of more than capable hardware that will still be capable in 2025 that will effectively be obsolete. CPU 2019 Benchmarks - Compare Products on AnandTech WWW.ANANDTECH.COM CPU 2019 benchmarks: Compare two products side-by-side or see a cascading list of product ratings along with our annotations. The 1950X is not supported by Windows 11, the R3 3100 is and is worse in every way apart from power consumption. This makes no sense.
  3. Oh nice, mine will work, not really surprising though since I got a 2020 motherboard and CPU. I still don't agree with Microsoft doing this. They just effectively made a whole bunch of relatively new hardware obsolete.
  4. Well, I did see someone say that Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro upgrade is going to be free on twitter. So I wouldn't 100% believe it but it does seem like a very likely thing for Microsoft to do. It makes the £220 price tag for Windows 10 Pro seem not so bad. Especially if this is a thing that Microsoft are going to do indefinitely. Apple do have a dark theme and they have had it since at least High Sierra in 2017 that I know of. From videos that I have seen, a dark theme is still there and it's a lot better than the Windows 10 dark theme.
  5. I'm not a fan of the start menu being in the centre. The applications being in the centre isn't really an issue for me. Luckily, someone who was using Windows 11 on Twitter did confirm that you can move the icons to the left like in previous versions of Windows. They were also using the dark theme which I did think looked a lot better than the light theme used in that screenshot. One thing I am hoping for, is that it's going to be a free upgrade to Windows 10, like 7/8 to 10 was. I don't really want to buy Windows again, especially since the amount of money that Microsoft get from consumers like us is negligible compared to what they get from corporations, and especially their server software. People who bought an OEM desktop/laptop with Windows installed on it aren't going to spend upwards of $100 to get a new version of Windows, they'll just stick to whatever they have installed. Mac updates are free to Mac users, so why not Windows? Except obviously the corporations, otherwise Microsoft won't make much money. I did think that Windows 10 was supposed to be the last ever "version" of Windows. At least that's what Microsoft said when they announced it. Maybe they just don't want to go the Mac method of being MacOS 10 for 15 years, especially now that Apple has abandoned that with Big Sur (2020) being MacOS 11 and the upcoming Monterey being MacOS 12.

  8. I thought Microsoft were going to stick with Windows 10 for a while. Hopefully they are going to go the Mac route and just do free updates for it. I don't particularly want to buy Windows again. Especially with all of the data collection that they do. Either stop data collection or stop selling Windows, at least to private consumers. Don't do both.
  9. Oopsie whoopsie UwU Well, at least the good part about this is that she took her phone to an official iPhone repair contractor so she at least got that huge payout and Apple are doing something about it. Too bad the only thing Apple can't do about it is unpost the photos and video. They're probably going to be out there forever now.
  10. Basically everything is done now. now I just need to get these things + oil filter + spark plugs + front license plate + battery and it should be ready for an MOT. A picture that @Alexedited because I can't find the original. I probably should also get some Loctite and a torque wrench as well.

  15. Homemade pizza. Ingredients: 50g mushrooms 1x store bought pepperoni pizza 20g jalapenos
  16. I got all the wheels on. It also doesn't move under it's own power yet, I tried to push it back to get it on more level and safe ground, instead, the car rolled forwards and is now stuck. I'll have to see if I can get it towed out or something. You can actually see how far it rolled forward based on the concrete slab there which I didn't move.
