Topic name is "Are you a PC or a Mac User?" Not Apple Vs android Vs Samsung.

But to add to that, Samsung make a very good phone but everyone has to admit that this is gay:

Everything down to the store layout to the blue shirts but their shirts are just a little lighter than Apples. Fail. So Samsung owners will now be "pretentious" like iPhone owners. Sad but thats what they are trying to be :(

But i find it strange that 90% of the people who have a bit of technical knowledge will go round to family members houses / friends houses fixing typical Windows issues again and again to then turn around and go oh yeah Apple computers are shit.

You cant really be that obsessed with Windows to think that Apple computers are not good for a person who has no knowledge about computers at all.

If you don't know shit about Computers Apple computers are more simple to use (get over it you know they are more simple you can at least admit that). If you know your shit and can fix your own problems then get Windows or Linux or something.

There are reasons why Windows is good and why Apple is good there are also reasons why Apple is bad and Windows is bad. Both types have there different uses and there own target audiences. If you were a bigger business with 100 computers it would be silly to pick Apple. If you were a couple in there 70s trying to get there head around computers Apple might be a better option.

Different horses for different courses. Pros and Cons for both.

Another iMac here has eaten shit. 24" less than 2 years old. Doing exactly the same as the other one which bit the dust recently; locking solid with no option but to hard reboot. Did a Prime95/Real Temp test and one of the cores was sitting at 93 with the rest at mid 80s.

We only have eight Macs in the office (and twenty eight PCs) and the score is 2-0.

Why the need for the macs at the office? Would be way easier to get them all running on the same system rather than the few odd ones out, would be annoying.

Developers and arty farty people have them.

The developers need OS about once a year (they run Windows 99.99999999% of the time) and for some reason arty farty people are incapable of operating windows based machines.

Couldn't possibly be because the software they need is Mac only could it? :whistling:

I highly doubt it these days, the whole macs have more power for graphic design bla bla is a load of crap. To get the true benefits of mac you need the whole iWank ecosystem, phone, laptop, network gear the whole lot.

Macs are great for non tehcnical people, much like my phag friends who don't drive manual because it requires too much effort.

And on topic, I actually use both. PC and Lappy for home and a mac air when I need a keyboard and not at home. Both have their benefits and draw backs.

Also mac air > iPad. 13" book is the same size but has a keyboard, more power, storage and external ports

Nope, there's nothing they use which isn't Windows compatible.

I agree with. I've tried to need a tablet to the point of taking the work ones home for a few weeks (and for all intents and purposes it was mine for that time) but I simply don't get it. I'm far more inclined to take my lappy with me if I'm going to be mobile and if I'm at home it's either my phone or desktop that I use. It simply didn't change even when i had full access to a tablet 24/7.

While I want a tablet, it's not strong enough for me to go out and get one and the more I try to need one the more I think they are bullshit. The only time I could see an absolute need for one is when I'm sitting on a train which happens maybe once every 6 months. Once my wife goes back to work I may have to catch the train a couple days a week (so I can do a baby shuttle between the grandparents and our house) so would get one, but outside of that I've failed to see the reason why.

Its the whole want vs need thing, damn advertisers and their sneaky subliminal messages

I have a GTR but I don't actually need one ;)

Yeah, but your GTR is useful. I have yet to find a use for a tablet that my desktop or lappy don't do better.

Would you buy a Commonwhore if you had an M3 and a 916 in the shed at home?

Tablets are great but need a keyboard. I have an iPad with a Logitech ultra thin KB, it's sweet.

Laptops typically have worse battery life, and worse screens.

Good thing about my iPad is its pretty much a laptop until I detach the keyboard and then its a tablet again.

Wouldn't try to get any serious work done on it, but for what I use it for (uni, email, games, movies, books) it's farking perfect.

Notice how all the windows tablets are coming out with keyboards? :)

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
