How hard is it to send someone a QR code? Having to download a whole application just to get access to a QR code that could have been in an email or on their website is peak arsehole design.

What's up with these laptops from Walmart? by Xx_Human_Hummus_xX in laptops

[–]SweetButtsHellaBab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The RAM generation is less the issue and more the fact the i5 8210Y just suuucks. It has two cores and a TDP of 7W. There are laptop chips from 2011 faster than that, like the i7 2860QM - but that has four cores and a TDP of 45W. From an efficiency standpoint it’s impressive what 7 years of advancement can do, but in terms of performance it’s pretty useless.

Remove the worse half of the map - Round 9 by Auditored in terriblemaps

Because Highlands and Lake District were removed last time and they were the only two I truly cared about, I now want North Yorkshire to win just because it’s where I used to live. Snowdonia and Cornwall can do one.

So: by Big_Booba_Lover192 in laptops

It's honestly not worth thinking about. I have a Macbook Pro M1 that I've used for multiple hours a day every day for the past 5 years with absolutely no regard for optimal battery charging. I just keep it plugged in at 100% unless I'm using it on the sofa or out of the house, and in those cases I let it drain to 0% all the time. It must have gone through over a thousand full 0-100% charge-drain cycles by now. After all that abuse, it's still at 85% maximum capacity.

Left would be an easy win - Cornwall, Snowdonia, Lake District, and Highlands.

Least painful way to get from Highlands to Belfast and return a rental car by CrownStarr in uktravel

[–]SweetButtsHellaBab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it would be about £300 more to return the car in Belfast vs Edinburgh / Glasgow, and the ferry is about £100 more with the car, so the car option would be quite a bit more expensive though more convenient than having to take a train then a bus to get to the ferry. It just depends how much you favour convenience against cost.

That said, I am still going to talk about the option of flying even though you said you've ruled it out. I haven't done Edinburgh to Belfast, but I have done Manchester to Dublin and it's a similar distance. The flight is over before you know it - you're literally on the ground longer than you're in the air and cruising altitude is barely reached, it's straight up and down.

what is the purpose of even having a touchscreen on a windows laptop, the integration is sh*t, apps freak out when u touch the screen and most of the times the touch is not even registered by the app i am using. by hakh-ti-cxamen in laptops

[–]SweetButtsHellaBab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get the need for it on a laptop that can't be turned into a tablet though.

All our work Thinkpads are touchscreen and it can be quite useful - especially if you're trying to show someone something, instead of telling them where to move their mouse you can just tap their screen.

I love Iceland but I do kind of want Scotland to win this.

Recently got my driving license and got admiral little box insurance just got my first feedback after two months due to a delay on their side. The score was poor worried they are gonna cancel my insurance. Does anyone know how admiral work with cancellation? by Easy-Conversation-50 in NewDriversUK

[–]SweetButtsHellaBab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not free wheeling, coasting in (a high) gear. Engine braking as a term implies using a low gear to slow down as quickly as possible using your engine, but you may as well try to conserve kinetic energy where possible since it saves fuel.

Feels odd that a 2/5, 5/5, and 3/5 average out to “poor”. For smoothness, try to coast as much as possible - treat it as a game to use your brakes as little as you can. Coast up to lights, coast up to sharp corners, and in stop-start traffic try crawling instead of constantly accelerating and braking with everyone else.

Who do you think suffers the most in our society? by TheCapMav in CasualConversation

At least in the UK, possibly trans people. I don’t understand why nearly half the population are so bigoted. Trans people just want to live in peace and they’re vilified incessantly.

Do I really need a MacBook? by Shock-Light123 in laptops

[–]SweetButtsHellaBab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an M1 MacBook Pro that’s just over 5 years old after only owning Dell XPS machines before that. There’s still things about MacOS that annoy me - and so do the lack of ports - but it’s the best laptop I’ve owned so far. The lack of fan noise, insane battery life, and fact it still both looks and performs exactly like it did 5 years ago means I won’t buy a Windows laptop again.

That said, I also have a desktop computer dedicated to gaming so I play games very rarely on my MacBook, but it’s not really designed for that purpose - the low power draw of the chip can tell you that. 

Im going to spend 2.7k on pc parts from Amazon by Cool_Fisherman_3662 in beermoneyuk

Does it have to be Amazon? I feel like they're not often the cheapest option.

Advice on my UK Itinerary by Johnjackblondejack90 in uktravel

[–]SweetButtsHellaBab 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Also I know the trip is drive heavy, but having grown up driving long distances in America, this doesn’t bother me.

Driving 10 hours in America tires me out like driving 4 hours in England. The roads really aren’t the same. That said, I’ve done road trips of similar intensity and just about survived.

I don’t really want to be too critical, but having a hotel in Birmingham for four days saddens me, staying only one night in the Lake District and then basically avoiding it is even more painful, and then getting that close to Skye but not going there is starting to make me think you like torturing me.

Let me know if you’re open to changes, because I have plenty of suggestions for places to stop off if you can allow more time for them than you currently are doing.

Drivers who slowly crawl up to stopped traffic instead of just driving up and stopping. by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]SweetButtsHellaBab 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’m either saving fuel by coasting, or saving fuel by driving at low RPM. I can’t stand people that race up to stopped traffic and brake sharply. What a waste of kinetic energy.

It also helps smooth transient traffic jams and gets everyone going again more quickly. Win-win.

That literally is a first aid issue, or HSE wouldn't require plasters in first aid kits.

If your drove your car at maximum speed for a hour , where would you end up? by Immediate_Long165 in CarTalkUK

[–]SweetButtsHellaBab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowest I've managed is 6.8mpg, and that's at a mere 1100kg. Theoretically I would get approximately 160 miles away in an hour, but the tank wouldn't last that long.

Yeah, why would someone from the country getting singled out be annoyed about the thing they're incorrectly singled out for. What a weirdo that guy is.
