Is “bought” legitimate in the present context as well?
I need to buy a new PC. WTF. It won’t boot to Windows anymore. At first, I thought my GPU had burned out, but after removing it and booting with the onboard GPU, it still won’t boot to Windows.
I’m now creating a boot USB. Let’s pray it can recover my current installation. If not, I’ll lose all my game settings, etc. Damn.

Found the problem. After an update from win11, the drive letters are swapped. The C: drive(os) became the D: drive and vice versa.
Now I need to find a way to fix the mbr. But that is not for in this topic..

Before it became abundantly obvious that there was a pricing error, I ordered a few 4k discs from the excellent Arrow Films store on Friday. It all arrived this morning, along with the Paddington in Peru 'suitcase' set (don't judge, I'll fight anybody that tries to argue that Paddington 2 isn't the most perfect movie ever made)
Demolition Man 4k, Heathers 4k, Carrie 4k and the Mexico Trilogy (Desperado in 4k, El Mariacho and Once Upon a Time in Mexico on bluray only) cost £36 in total
. I did contact the store but they still shipped it.

Congrats, nice piece of hardware.
You might as well weld your GFX card in place—it’s running at the speed of light!

Finally got the ebike upgraded to pretty much how I imagined her from the onset.. new anodised air forks, upgraded top tube battery, phenomenal brakes, offroad capable lights, turn signals.. plus a horn that can cause instant, involuntary and often uncontrollable diarrhea to those on the receiving end.. PAARP!.. 
A few more bits here and there and I'm done with the build.. maybe..

Since, Fanatec doesn't make one 
image.
I had the QR1 clicking sound turning left and right the other day on my GT DD Pro. I noticed in Project CARS 2 recently in the vehicle select menu was flipping back and forth between the Group by Manufacturer and the full vehicle listing. It was getting frustrating and I thought it was my throttle pedal. Then the disconnect occurred and the clicking while turning afterwards. I have a two piece clamp coming in today to get rid of the factory clamp which should resolve the issue completely for now.
Due to everything at Fanatec moving completely towards the QR2, I will probably need to update my base with the Fanatec QR2 and all of my wheels
. I didn't want to leave the CSW 2.5 wheelbase behind as I recently pulled it out of my bedroom closet. I decided to purchase this while it's available and test Simube's shipping/quality. What I have been seeing seems positive.

Not so much a 'look I just bought', more a 'look I just received'
The bean-to-cup machine at the back is great at making my daily mugs of coffee, but it's a PITA for making espresso as I use medium and light roasts day to day. So in comes the machine at the front, one of the more discrete espresso machines you can get courtesy of my father (thanks dad!) for my birthday. Which was today. Happy birthday me! (Subtle eh )
Not really had a chance to test it as the only espresso coffee I had was 'a little' out of date. Like 2.5 years out of date
EDIT: I did, however, buy some coffee today. Just 13 bags of the stuff.

What a coincidence.. last night I also ordered a Type-C base side QR2 + QR2 wheel side bundle (for my 2018 Limited Edition Formula wheel with Podium Advanced Paddle Module, which I adore).. along with a Clubsport R330 V2 steering wheel.
A rather splendid 60th birthday gift from the lovely Mrs Savoury, it's been exactly 3 years since my last upgrade (to the DD Pro 8nm base), so I'm rather excited tbh!
