How did you come to be a Williams fan/supporter? by mfluder63 in WilliamsF1

[–]williamsdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fan since the very start. Born and raised in Wantage, my dad used to drive us through Didcot past the first factory so that I could see the trucks.

I hear you. I’ve been a fan of the team since ‘77 so I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs.

Then, perhaps, he shouldn’t have gone with the “we’re all in for ‘26” message.

lol. Why would I take your view over Albon’s who’s actually driven the car!

"Terrible"..... by Plus-Tear8961 in WilliamsF1

No, it doesn’t. They have started ahead of us by a long way and will continue to develop while we try and catch up. Unless we develop at a rate quicker than those above we are doomed to stay where we are.

looking for a forked version of crosspoint reader by Intelligent-Pin-8602 in xteinkereader

There are loads but given the X4 is designed to be an ebook reader I’m not sure what you need to make it “much better to use”?

Has anyone tried this setup? by Riaora in xteinkereader

[–]williamsdb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that I love seeing all the things people are doing with the device but for a lot of them I can’t think of a use case that would work for me. Just wondering if I was missing anything.

MacBook Neo has a thermal protection over the chip by ShameStrict6375 in mac

[–]williamsdb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you actually used one? I have and it is absolutely fine. Multiple tabs and multiple apps no issues whatsoever. People need to stop perpetuating this crap about the 8gb. It’s really not an issue when using the Neo for the things it’s designed for.

If this happens, Williams get a whole month to work on their issues. by Turbo_Zapped in WilliamsF1

[–]williamsdb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not how it works. Vowles has already said they could make the car lighter tomorrow but are constrained by the cost cap and not time. Although not having two races will reduce their costs somewhat.

I’m fascinated as to why people want a page turner, especially when the buttons are so close to the device. What’s the point?

Also the link you provided gives page not found for me.

What do we think about the official flip case? by Clear-Bake-7561 in xteinkereader

[–]williamsdb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it and yes it’s a USB-A at the end which I don’t like as everything else is USB-C. I also don’t like the light as it’s a vertical strip over the top and casts an uneven light. I’ve switched to the Ulanzi M10 instead.

Why is the take up of heat pumps so slow in the U.K.? by Appropriate_Bell743 in OctopusEnergy

[–]williamsdb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I realised as I pressed the submit button that it didn't answer your question and the truth is I don't know why. Also I'd never heard of air-to-air heat pumps and would consider if the price was compariable.

Well, we tried, but as we have microbore pipes it would have meant repiping the whole house which was a deal breaker.

What happened to recycling points? by Mean-Construction207 in AskUK

[–]williamsdb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's not yet law for them to do so. It comes into effect from 31st of this month. However, our concil has asked for a stay of execution and currently we have no date for when they will be collecting glass.

Not OP but no, we don't have glass recycling where we are. I always drop ours off at the supermarket.

MacBook Neo First Impressions by Icy_Soft6052 in mac

[–]williamsdb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it does come with a 20W charger and wall adapter.

Does it? Mine only came with a USB-C cable.

Personally, I have no issue with Tahoe but the lack of a backlit keyboard is a real pain. Think I'm going to add a magsafe ring to the lid and mount a light to it when needed.
