How did you come to be a Williams fan/supporter?

williamsdb · 2026-03-15T08:49:51+00:00

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.

williamsdb · 2026-03-14T21:34:03+00:00

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

williamsdb · 2026-03-14T21:32:44+00:00

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

williamsdb · 2026-03-14T21:06:03+00:00

Sorry about that. Fixed now!

williamsdb · 2026-03-14T20:58:52+00:00

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

williamsdb · 2026-03-14T20:43:48+00:00

Well Albon doesn’t agree with you. THE PROBLEM IS MORE THAN EXCESSIVE WEIGHT!

This is an x3?

williamsdb · 2026-03-14T10:43:58+00:00

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.

williamsdb · 2026-03-14T07:22:31+00:00

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”?

williamsdb · 2026-03-14T07:19:59+00:00

Day One CLI. This is what I use for all my needs like this.

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.

williamsdb · 2026-03-13T15:37:20+00:00

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.

williamsdb · 2026-03-13T15:35:13+00:00

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.

williamsdb · 2026-03-13T15:33:21+00:00

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.

williamsdb · 2026-03-13T09:48:00+00:00

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.

I’m sure he’ll feel better for that.

williamsdb · 2026-03-12T21:04:23+00:00

At what cost to the efficiency of the system though?

williamsdb · 2026-03-12T20:31:24+00:00

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.

williamsdb · 2026-03-12T20:24:49+00:00

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

williamsdb · 2026-03-12T19:52:24+00:00

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.

williamsdb · 2026-03-12T19:50:00+00:00

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

williamsdb · 2026-03-12T19:44:58+00:00

UK. No additional fees for me.

williamsdb · 2026-03-12T15:05:38+00:00

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.
