I worked in a hospital fixing equipment & have a similar name to a paediatric cancer surgeon. 3 occasions I was emailed a kids full medical history by his secretary. I told her she was breaking some serious GDPR laws. After a couple of weeks of this I told the head of IT. Never happened again.

Because they all want to use AI and if they all announce it together it dilutes the backlash. If you're going to get bad press, get it whilst everyone else has bed press. I don't like it, but if I ran a studio that used AI I'd put out a press release stating that right now.

I always thought Matthew Perry was good in The West Wing. Shame he didn't do anything else with Sorkin before he passed away.

I just bought it for my PS5 with the new expansion for £30. I'm only a few hours in but I'm really enjoying it, and the 3rd person perspective addition is great!

I doubt it, we've had these rules in place for 5 years now and nothing really has changed. We might get a surprise with the new regs but I doubt a small team will do a Brawn.

Williams finishing higher than expected in 2025 was probably due to them finishing second from last the previous year, which gave them 95% of the total allotted ATR. Also, James Vowles and 2 great drivers whose wages don't fall into the cost cap.

I'm completely aware of them, but if you've already got a huge state of the art facility, a dedicated wind tunnel, more skilled staff etc then the cost cap regulation basically means nothing. Which is exactly what we've seen over the past 5 seasons since they've been brought in.

Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull have bigger budgets than Hass, Williams, Alpine etc.
The faster cars all come from teams with the bigger budgets, more personnel, better facilities.
Occasionally someone will buck the trend (Brawn) but more money equals more success in F1.

Another load of bullshit on here. No drug testing service also tests for diseases. I know this, because I used to work for a drug testing service.

What is the make and model of the CPU? Same for the GPU. How much RAM does the PC have? What about storage space?
Or just put a link to the PC here.

That's an impossible question to answer.
What are the specs of the PC you're interested in, and what is the price?
