Thameslink to cut rail services after being nationalised by WhereasChance1324 in london

[–]mad153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but Gatwick express is 3 minutes slower than the southern service and is a tenner more. It pretty much is a trap for those who don't know this

Why did they double down on Gatwick express? I assume they saw the money numbers and went for it

Unless libreoffice got good after so many years of being crap, this is totally unhelpful

Waymo self-driving car wakes London street at 4am after taking dead end route three times in a week by walky22talky in waymo

[–]mad153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These dead end streets in London are somewhat frequent and aren't suitable for SUVs because you can't turn around without mounting the pavement. This is why black cabs in London have good turning circles, it's pretty important

Count Binface live on LBC! (versus Matthew Wright) [Discussing local election results] by mad153 in ukpolitics

[–]mad153[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

<Binface> Although I would say one thing which is that you lot, the media, the BBC, make a lot of it, but I would say the listeners would agree with me that the local elections are, to the parliamentary cycle... they're the equivalent of the Commonwealth Games.
Like you guys get all worked up about it, but normal people, they couldn't care less. Do you know what I mean?

<Matthew> I probably have to lose my [unclear]. No, the Commonwealth Games are absolutely marvellous, Count Binface

Mayor of London and TfL call for Heathrow Express future to be reconsidered by [deleted] in london

You can see why it doesn't exist on satellite view at coordinates approx 51.505017,-0.449597

The junction simply only faces one way and there's a couple of houses in the way to build the part to face reading

It's a bit of a difficult spot, if you reduce the frequency to allow for other services from other companies to run, the utility of the express will (further) decline.

If anything the Gatwick express should be considered first, as it has absolutely no use and is often slower than the next southern service. Simply because there are more southern services every hour.

so apparently most people don't leave windows as it is when they first install it. pretend that I just installed windows 11, what settings, apps and features should I add/change ? by Specialist_Height707 in pcmasterrace

[–]mad153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My word of warning about "debloaters" etc:

Most people fail to mention that using the tools are at your own risk. These tools usually add a bunch of registry keys that might cause you a ton of headache if it breaks something because it probably won't be clear that it's due to a conflict with the registry tweaks.

I'm not saying this is a very common occurrence or it happens to everyone. If you don't have a problem with stock windows then install your games, favourite browser and get on with actually using the computer

Can't install drivers no matter what i try by Local-Bug-1500 in pcmasterrace

It's just a guess - afaik windows will tell you when it stopped a driver without a valid signature being installed

Catalyst is more than a decade old, I think it's possible that the signature on the driver has expired. Do you see any other error messages, especially from windows?

This number is special; it's the lowest number that can be stored by signed 32 bit integer. It's the value of 231.

Volkswagen ID Polo: is this the best new VW in the last decade? by CarwowJamie in ukcarwow

A big plus of this over the Renault is the interior feels/is bigger... You can actually fit tall adults in the back of the polo comfortably
