Just watched Alien versus Predator Requiem... yeah... it was going ok'ish until the hospital scene with the pregnant women, Who ever came up with that scene obviously has some serious issues, Should be locked up in an insane asylum for the rest of their lives and given extreme electric shock therapy on the daily.

From the sounds of that, I'm glad I didn't bother with any Alien film beyond Aliens
Got the final part for a new office PC I'm building for my partner's dad. Went to fire it up and the PSU is a dud... Another day, another RMA.
Anyone else having a good weekend?

Got up around 11. Decided to stay in bed for another hour as it's Sunday.
Came into the living room around 12. It was hot in here, so I opened up all the windows and then slumped into the sofa. Got this funny burning pain in my back. Figured I had a spot or something, so I reached back to touch it. My back was wet... I bring my hand back around and there is a very dead and very squished false widow spider on my hand.
Immediately start feeling very sick. Go into the bathroom, have a big red bullseye on my back. Then the dizziness started, so I called 111. Ambulance turned up pretty fast. When they got here my temp was very high, as was my blood pressure and heart rate. Seems I was in minor shock. They gave me the option of hospital, or whether I wanted them to keep and eye on me for 30 mins. Blood pressure etc all came down.
I feel bloody rotten. Still feel sick, back is killing me. Thankfully the swelling has gone down now and I'm not drenched in sweat. Seems I get the same reaction from false widows as wasp stings.

So as many of you know. I work with alot of mobile phones and prototypes that haven't hit the market yet
But lo and behold... I did not know that the Oneplus 8 Pro has effing "XRAY lense" (photocrom)!
It is only able to see through thin plastic and clothing, but my god it was hilarious viewing the insides of my oculus rift controller, or taking a cheeky picture of my partners bra through her clothing and showing her. Spent the best part of an hour running around looking for things to "see through" and giggling like a kid.

yep. No issues on my Galaxy S10, 20, oneplus 7/8, mate20 pro or Xperia Z. But things like this I don't really waste time on. I'm more involved in applications and internal settings rather than photo quality etc.

Might actually make me come back. Haven't played seriously since probably a few months after launch and a tiny bit with the scarab launch.

Really really interesting article on Ryzen memory benchmarking.
Basically use 4 dimms if possible and use 1T for command rate will really boost performance.
What was interesting was out of all the configurations the 3200mhz 4dim(dual rank dimms) CL14 was the fastest memory configuration. Even beating 3600/3733/4000mhz speeds.

Well, be quite hard if their SSD didn't die completely; also because my boss is a lady, haha.That's fine, just dig up his dirty pics to blackmail him in case you f it up
I was terrified of messing up because it's a fairly brand new HP Envy 360, Ryzen 3500U and all that so a pretty expensive piece of kit. Which I had to use my Dremel on at one point but that's a whole other story haha. I've sorted it now though thankfully. I was absolutely on edge all the way through in case something went bang
