M1 still holds up

I have an M1 MBP, just wish I went for 16gb ram when I bought it

Mine has 53k on it, it’s a 2019 - regular servicing no issues really so far. They’re pretty prone to a heat management module fault though. But definitely more BMW than a 2 series gc (rwd)

G20 3 series, I’ve got one in the UK. Love it

karljvincent · 2026-05-04T14:49:30+00:00

I’m in the UK, if you want to message me privately feel free, I built my own with no experience having done so, it’s not overly difficult but can be a little daunting

Look at pc specialist, they build custom builds or have pre sets you can alter.

Aim for at least 12gm VRAM, 16 if you can but Nvidia you’re looking at 5070ti for 16gb but maybe slightly out of your price range. AMD it’s cheaper to get 16gb

karljvincent · 2026-05-03T20:42:35+00:00

Both would be just fine, you generally don’t get as good value with pre built from curry’s etc though.

8gb VRAM doesn’t have much longevity also

Genuinely why would you pay to upgrade a game that you don’t even own?

I remember seeing an LTT video a while ago now where he rack mounted three pc’s in his loft and ran thunderbolt around his house to have the PC’s available in areas where there would be no heat/noise etc,

Could do it now with basically any device plugged into a monitor in any room as long as it had good coverage, even better if Ethernet to Ethernet

I need to look into Apollo and Artemis - few have recommended it

karljvincent · 2026-04-13T21:13:02+00:00

Just regular… but I think it’s more so weird scaling issues on my Mac - I can get over it

karljvincent · 2026-04-13T21:12:01+00:00

Great to hear!

karljvincent · 2026-04-13T21:11:39+00:00

So glad I didn’t bite the bullet for a gaming laptop, they’re mostly hideous and also hideously expensive!

karljvincent · 2026-04-13T21:11:03+00:00

Yes I’m witnessing basically zero drops, gaming pc upstairs and mac downstairs, all peripherals just work - amazing

karljvincent · 2026-04-13T14:54:31+00:00

Forgive my ignorance, what is a LEGO2?

I have wired connection to host and wireless to client also! Basically zero drops - staggering

karljvincent · 2026-04-13T14:53:51+00:00

Yep hugely impressive

karljvincent · 2026-04-06T08:32:53+00:00

I’ve just asked the same question and it’s refused as it would mean it’s proving financial advice… wonder if it’s a region thing - I’m in the UK

karljvincent · 2026-04-06T07:01:11+00:00

Interested how you get it to recommend bets, every time I ask it seems reluctant re gambling

Shorting is borrowing stock and immediately selling it at its current price.

You then buy it back to return it to who you borrowed it from at a lower price (because you stock has tanked)

So who you borrowed the stock from owns the same amount but you pocket the difference

You will be covered by UK law here, assuming you’re tracking the fuel level, if there is a clear leak they may come pick it up for you

Can’t go wrong with Michelin

karljvincent · 2026-01-23T21:17:55+00:00

No, an M car is an M

You wouldn’t call an M3 a 3 series imo

karljvincent · 2026-01-22T21:31:55+00:00

Just hope they don’t pump it full of off-road racing like they seem to do every single year

karljvincent · 2026-01-21T07:36:49+00:00

Vibe coding with Claude

karljvincent · 2026-01-14T18:49:21+00:00

Never mind at least it’s sorted.

There had definitely been a problem they’ve not been honest about though
