    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Very Unsatisfactory End to an Exciting F1 Season

No lights, no heating, no hot food, no internet, no mobile signal, no hot water - it makes one realise how dependent we are now on electricity. Fortunately, we have a wood burning stove, so that...

    Anyone else think that this is a pointless competition? I don’t see what this does better than (or as well as) T20. The on screen graphics are terrible and look like they are from the 1980s. The necessary information is spread all over the screen. This is very much a solution looking for a problem.

    I am interested in your selection of drives. My PC is in pre-production and currently has 2x500GB Samsung 980 Pros, a 2TB SSD and a 4TB HDD. My thought was to use one of the 980s for OS and programs and the other as as scratch drive. My photos and catalogue are destined for the SSD and...
