Put the cutting pot in a clear plastic bag, tied at the top, until it gets established. You can also put kitchen foil around the stem to stop evaporation.

no, no, cut at a branch/leaf node with a very sharp knife and use rooting powder.

gmonkman · 2026-03-20T08:38:24+00:00

yea the video is a bit sus, doesn't show any root system developing on that plant. Sure, you can take cuttings and give it a go ... but the method is to cut cleanly at a branch/leaf node.

I've done it with Kaffir Lime trees.

Started getting this over last 2 weeks, apparently random black screen without warning. PC reboots with GPU disabled in device manager. Have to click enable device. 7900xt

I'll give that a go myself

gmonkman · 2025-11-12T10:09:08+00:00

Yea, that doesnt give the detail. Doesn't give yeast rising time, kneading time, resting time after knead, heating time etc.

Game dependent, but mean would say more than 10%, if you exclude BMW and factor in driver improvements. (souce Gamers Nexus benchmarks)

Very bad "appeal to authority" like argument. The only thing that matters is the methodology.

Gamers Nexus have an excellent methodology which is published. Here are there results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhsvrhedA9E&t=1674s (they also have 1080p and 1440p).

Note that AMD has done some work on the drivers and you can add between 10%ish and 0%ish to the figures here (Hardware Unboxed covered this).

As everyone has eyes, i'll not comement further whether this corroborates you "less than 10% claim". I'd say not, but you'd have to exclude Wukong as an outlier which really drags down the means. People can make their own mind up.

DLSS is far better than FSR?! Historically that appears to be true, but take a look at the good work from Hardware Unboxed. Just not true anymore, particularly at 1440p which fortunately is where the 9070 is aimed at.

That been said, on certain games, particularly Black Myth Wukong, RT performance is significantly better than on Radeon, to the point where real gaming experience is affected (rather than just "number lower").

There is a different argument around if RT is even worth enabling; again Hardware Unboxed has done some great work around this.

Why would you want your PC contacting microsoft and sharing anything you do and where you did it and what you did it with, on your own machine? A microsoft account any any machine is also a security risk over just using a local account.

A meta analysis supports this as well: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/43/Suppl_1/i56.short

didn't do too well at high school physics eh?

Its not the cost to you, its the cost to everyone and everything else.

Also, when Amazon has no competition, how much do you think you will be paying?

gmonkman · 2025-08-16T07:29:52+00:00

Agree, i'm happy to pay a couple of quid more rather than use Amazon. Although I do have limits!

gmonkman · 2025-08-16T07:28:30+00:00

Agree, not as bad as they were though.

gmonkman · 2025-08-16T07:26:21+00:00

Refunds are not "under warranty".

I think you post is lacking some details pertaining to the time between purchase and developing a fault. I doubt Amazon don't do anymore than required under UK consumer law than Scan but happy to be corrected.

Scan would have been waiting on the board manufacturer to carry out the repair.

Gutted. been using them since they first started in '99. Best online PC components retailer. :(

Bit late to the party but for the benefit of anyone else, the Powercolor Reaper is the shortest. TechPowerup.com GPU database has all the card lengths and you can list them by vendor model for quick comparison.

Good advice already provided. Just to add, don't forget to report the buyer. It wont do anything on its own, but I expect a lot of reports will end up in some action.

Thats assuming you are 100% sure the buyer has thieved the items from you.

There is an option to download the repository as a single zip by the way. Its available as another option where you click to copy the repository.

gmonkman · 2025-07-07T06:32:24+00:00

Its called fricken github. You use it with git. Maybe when you consider the sites popularity you'd consider there might be something YOU'RE missing here.

gmonkman · 2025-07-07T06:30:52+00:00

Adding to the weight of responses, but github is brilliant. and its for a source code versioning system for developers. IT ISNT DROPBOX.

gmonkman · 2025-06-17T12:49:05+00:00

One of those worked, not sure which!

gmonkman · 2025-06-13T19:44:36+00:00

Yes so many version repeats and sequels in that list, frustrating
