Frank Lampard: Coventry name ex-England midfielder as head coach - BBC Sport
  • Where is Coventry at these days? I must say I don't really follow English domestic football since the service provider for those games in the Netherlands makes it awful.

    I might check MotD every once in a while but I saw Lineker is leaving so that'll most likely drop in quality too

  • Frank Lampard: Coventry name ex-England midfielder as head coach - BBC Sport
  • Let's see what he does.

    Yesterday I was watching the Liverpool game and some of the Dutch folks said something interesting: the most successful coaches were mediocre players at best. They had to start at the bottom, build up a lot of experience and look at the game a bit differently.

    Arne Slot is like that. But when you see all these superstars going into the coaching game, expectations are sky high, they can start off at huge clubs and they usually don't do that well.

    Maybe it'll be good for Frank to have a look at Coventry, see what he can do there. Maybe if he's in his 70s he'll be able to get Chelsea for a few seasons.

  • Yes the idea is that you don't have to plan exactly which constructor goes where in order to not have to build lifts. I have indeed also built a loopback but every center output is only set to overflow. This way, it's less likely to jam. At the very end I made a manifold of specific items going into dimensional depots and if they're full, every next item just goes into the Awesome Sink.

  • If you were a rich man... What would you do?
  • Pay the debts of myself and all my close friends.

    House with a yard is already a check for me but I have a neighbour on both sides. I want a standing house.

    Then I'd invest a lot in art, my own and others. Work less, play more. See the sights. Meet people.

  • Laptop recommendations for Music Production?
  • sRGB is fine for gaming and your DAW, DCI-P3 is only useful if you want very accurate colours. The DCI-P3 one has higher frame rate, but it'll have more latency. You could go for the HDR variant, but HDR is mostly bad on laptop screens. Apart from that it uses a lot of battery power.

  • Laptop recommendations for Music Production?
  • For some things, the i7 works a bit more efficient than the i9, the i9 is a beast but that also makes it bulky. And power hungry.

    32 GB RAM is solid, I wouldn't go for 16.

    And for the graphics thing, well... If it's photo/video editing and you don't plan on using an external display as a default, you might want to consider the 3rd option for a screen. DCI-P3 is much broader than sRGB.

    Edit: oh and I don't know what the upgradability is on this thing but you might wanna go for the 1TB drive just in case.

    And if I can give you a bit of Windows advice: see if you can chop up that disk in two partitions before you start installing stuff. Keep your Windows partition, the part of the disk where you only keep Windows, at around 120GB. This will cause Windows not to create tens of gigabytes of cache files on the disk, freeing up space for more content. And something I always immediately do is turn hibernate off (powercfg.exe /hibernate off) in order not to get a hiberfile.sys the size of your used RAM.

  • 4060 or 7600XT but that's still very pricey. It really depends on what you call graphic heavy. The latest video games will not run on an Xe. Then again, they'll not run great on a 4070 either. If you need to do stuff like video editing, especially rendering, will take longer on an Xe but will work. A 4070 will be quicker but you'll be far better off with a Quadro or whatever they call their professional series now. They do add to the price but you can settle for a lower model. If you're looking at just stuff like photo editing, an Xe will do fine.

  • Laptop recommendations for Music Production?
  • I wouldn't look to hard for a decent gpu. Matter of fact, you might even get one without a discrete gpu but one with decent integrated graphics. You'll be fine with a Ryzen 7 or whatever Intel's equivalent currently is. Get a 9 if you want it to have some extra oomph. But save yourself the cost of getting something with a 4070 or 4080.

  • Do you use smart/programmable splitters to minimise spaghetti at the assemblers? I'm experimenting with that currently. I have one massive building with constructors and their output is delivered by train to the assembly line with smart splitters in the middle

  • Best GPUs of 2024, November Update - Please Don't Buy Edition
  • I was playing Hogwarts Legacy when I was in the market for the 4070. I finished the game on my 1070Ti, rebuilt my system, started the game again and I thought 'yeah okay, I get 30-40 frames extra but it really doesn't look that much better'. I thought maybe the VR on F1 23 would look better, it didn't. Especially the AA on it is bad in VR no matter what GPU you use.

    The only real difference is you can put some lows to high or ultra and the difference is hardly worth all that money.

  • Best GPUs of 2024, November Update - Please Don't Buy Edition
  • Yup I bought the 4070 right before the Supers came out. Could've saved a few tenners. Especially since the stuff I played pretty much would've run on my 1070Ti.

    It's never the right time to buy a GPU unless you really need one. Upgrading from Ampere to Lovelace is just really unnecessary and going for this next generation won't really benefit the Lovelace crowd either. I thought getting the DLSS3 functions would really help out but most of the stuff I play doesn't even support it anyway.

    Headphone choice

    Hey all, I've narrowed it down to 3 options: AKG K371 (at €149) AKG K361 (at €104) AKG K182 (at €69)

    Use case is just at my desk. I have CX Wireless for on the road and wireless listening.

    I like a full low end and defined, crisp highs. I mostly listen to soft easy listening like Mazzy Star or rougher rock bands like Evanescence, Bad Omens etc. I also listen to melodic electronic music.

    I've read a lot of reviews and I can't really decide on the soundstage. For this I've chosen AKG because I have the K512 mk2's now and I've been very pleased with them.

    As for comfort, I need them not to clamp after an hour or two. I don't mind having to pause every now and then.

    Any other recommendations welcome.

    But bottom line, I think 69 for the K182 is a great deal even though the K3x1s might be better cans.

    Green or red? Mid-range gpu decisions

    Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23).

    Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT.

    Benchmarks don't really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don't really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier.

    I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along.

    Thoughts?

    Thoughts on build?

    Hey all,

    Lately my old ATX i7-7700K with custom aio cooled 1070Ti seems to be coming up short. I wanna replace it and look for something smaller to boot. The idea is:

    Intel i7-12700F ASUS ROG STRIX B760-I Gaming G.Skill Trident Z5 Inno3D 4070 Twin X2 Phanteks Eclipse P200A DRGB

    Whaddaya think
