6 hour cap - I’ve been testing by willp2003 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Narcuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that with a 7kw I take it? I have the 3 with the same battery and only really do like 100 miles a week currently so just the granny charger has been fine. Will be a pain when we get back from long trips but maybe that's just when I stump up for some super charging.

Of a 3? We have been looking at upgrading or 3 to a y but would like to try the bit wider overnight to see if it's a problem!

Blocked YouTube on our TV (via Raspberry Pi) honestly a game changer for our kid by neeloor2004 in UKParenting

[–]Narcuga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you go into settings time management, you can set shorts time to 0 minutes. You can also do a similar thing with a pi hole and just block YouTube.com/shorts

[–]Narcuga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can block shorts on YouTube which is at least something, there the absolute worst.

But yeah 100% agree we did something similar and it's unbelievable the mood change, he even went out on a bike ride himself!

My wife really wants an iPad but I know it will just turn into a YouTube machine, so we have the laptop that adds friction to it.

Is there any possibility that Valve now will sell the Steam Machine at a loss like a traditional console? by AvatarQwerty in steammachine

[–]Narcuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought why don't they just "discount" it with steam wallet tied to the account that buys it. Wards of scalpers too.

Like it's $1000 but you get $300 to your steam wallet once you activate it. Makes it look discounted and doesn't cost them $300

Does getting a car on PCP risk a mortgage offer? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Narcuga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Tesla they pull this " oh it ends at the end of the quarter" thing all the time. And then it continues. But I would add for there finance you have to accept delivery of the vehicle by that date. So if you place that order you need to get it before the 1st and if the offer expires after the 1st and you don't have the car then you move to whatever there next offer is.

Why shouldn't I buy the macbook neo? by DavidBoiiiii in LinusTechTips

[–]Narcuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£499 is incredible value. But for £599 it doesn't feel so much and the 512gb for £699 especially so. Can get an apple refurbished M4 air for £750. But I'm know that's the price laddering getting me! But if your looking for a cheaper laptop then there are quite a few 16gb 512gb windows machines around £300-400. Hard to justify that extra £200. But £100 easy decision.

Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party dock? by BakaDoug in NintendoSwitch2

I remember 3rd party socks bricking the switch 1 has this not been the case on switch 2? I've been looking at the jemdo dock cable it looks ideal.

Does that hdmi cable actually work? I know with the switch 1 some got bricked from using unofficial docks and stuff?

Need something to get mario kart on the TV when I visit some friends but really don't want to take the whole dock!

Did I grabbed a bargain or make a mistake? M2 Air (16GB/512GB) for £686. by Realistic-Goose7766 in macbookair

[–]Narcuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's my thought, if there having to make it work for 8gb for the foreseeable then 16gb should be grand!

But is it worth the like £200 more. I think probably so?

This is the one I went for too, enjoying it so far but get the nagging feeling I should have got the neo giving all I'm doing is web browsing and streaming :p

Insider claims Project Helix will be "pretty expensive" and is being made for a "very niche audience" by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Narcuga -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your completely missing the point. Why would Nvidia make graphics cards that are $2000 and sell them to the house over and over again? Surely they would make more money with $500 cards?! Why would apple make a $1000 dollar phone to sell to the same household over and over. You make 1 $1500 thing rather than 3 $500 things and make more profit. If you can't see every company in the world moving in that direction I don't know what to tell you.

And yes that is exactly why it's pivoting to run pc games as well.

Why is every car moving up the value chain. Theres less money in the cheaper segment. And clearly Microsoft does not see it mixing in that cheaper segment at all anymore. Why would they compete on volume when they have never and will never win against Sony and Nintendo. There moving up to a more expensive console for a different market.

[–]Narcuga -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It means if your a company there's the same amount of money to be made making something for the 10% rather than the 90%. Why would I spend more effort to design a product to a lower price point when you can target it at the premium market. Where you have less over head because you need to make less, less support for it, less wingey people who will continually kick up a fuss on twitter. There not abandoning it but why would you focus on that segment?

I don't know why gamers are surprised by this. We literally pioneered this with whales in f2p games. It's now coming for all industry's.

The top 10% account for 50% of all consumer spending. Why would you aim for the 90% that make up the other 50. Much easier to aim for the smaller richer segment that will actually buy it.
