Thank you! : ) I did the rough sketch in Procreate and the rendering in CSP!

I don't keep track on how long a drawing takes me, but it's been a few days on-and-off working on it, so I'd say like 10ish hours?

Hi there! I hope it's ok to ask this here. I've been wanting to crochet an almost floor length cardigan, so I would need a lot of yarn. The pattern said they used a Level 4/Worsted weight yarn and had a gauge of 8 stitches and 6 rows on 4"x4". Now, I can't really find out what equals as worsted weight yarn here in Europe, and the ones I found all feel too thin to achieve that gauge. I've been to a local store where they recommended some cotton yarn and wool to me that should be equal to worsted weight. Now the thing is, they are quite expensive and I still can't get close to that gauge, meaning I would need even more. However, what I found of WW yarn, they all seem to be acrylic and honestly not much cheaper.

So I'm currently a little stumped, am I looking for the wrong things or do I have to face the fact that this cardigan would cost me about 180€ of yarn?

I've looked them up a bit and I love the idea that they can also just be rewaxed! However, I gotta admit I think right now they are a bit too expensive for me. Most of them easily cost two or three times as much as the technical jackets I've been looking at. I will do some more research tho, and definitely keep that kind of clothing in mind just because I think it's a really cool way to make them weatherproof

Good evening folks! I am looking for a decent waterpoof jacket but getting kinda stumped at the options.

While I would mainly use it for just taking walks, I do want something a little better that I could possibly use on hikes and such as well (might as well get a better one right away in case I ever decide to do something like that).

Now, I've found Jack Wolfskin have some nice looking ones (in particular the Elsberg 2,5l), but opinions on the brand seem to differ a lot.

So I wanted to ask if anyone can recommend a good brand I can get in Europe that fits my budget and delivers decent quality. Thanks everyone in advance!

Thank you!! Love that there are botanic gardens in Edinburgh, I'll definitely have to inlcude them in my plans now hahah Also great tip on packing good waterproof gear. Don't really have any rn and most likely would've never thought about it if y'all wouldn't have mentioned the rainy weather there hahah

What a stunning view! I'll definitely have to get some good hiking gear it seems Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I think now Edinburgh would be a great starting point for my first visit there. But I totally get you when you say you'll need another trip just for the western side, I honestly underestimated how spread out all the cool places are hahah

I'm thinking of taking a holiday in Scotland, but frankly, I have no idea what I'd be doing there (nor have I ever been on holiday somewhere else tbh, so I'd love to do some planning beforehand). I really want to enjoy the nature and landscapes there and I'm sure there must be a few not so tourist-y gems I could plan on visiting.

Previous research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context.

This part made me think about how sometimes "retracing" my steps, going back to the other room, suddenly makes me remember what I wanted to do.

So, not sure how solid that study is, but it's certainly quite an interesting idea, thanks for sharing!

Thank you! She's a Lurk and we have a pretty chaotic Smuggler crew. It's my first time playing Blades but I can definitely see why so many people love it! My first character was a Whisper and her death was both tragic ingame and hilarious as a player, it's just overall super fun to play

I think it looks pretty cool! Can anyone tell me whether those kind of special edition sets are available for a longer time or just for this season?

Ich hab leider des Glück, dass jedes mal wenn ich an Laden find, der dann bald zumacht und gar nix mehr hat :')

Hab das Gefühl es gibt kaum mehr solche Läden, deswegen wär ich auch über Empfehlungen von Onlineshops (AT oder zumindest Europa) sehr dankbar!

Im Büro geht die Heizung net, Installateur lässt sich net blicken. Heit is ana der zwei Chefs mit an Heizstrahler ankommen - bissl besser, aber des ganze offene Büro damit zu beheizen funktioniert leider ah nur bedingt.

Wetter macht sowieso schon so arg miad und dann kannst noch mit abgfrorene Händ 8h am Tag vorm Computer sitzen.. und des schene dran: passiert jedes Jahr wieder aber irgendwie lernens net draus

Oh does it? That's interesting to know. Only used it for the testing now, but couldn't really warm up to their new designs haha

TLDR: CPU frequency on newer notebooks always at 1.6+GHz; fans are always on and loud; Is it a CPU problem?

Edit: Thanks for the replies so far! After looking for alternatives we've been eyeing the Razer Blade 14, Zephyrus G14 and Zephyrus M16. If anyone has some experience with one of those devices, please let us know. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

Me and an acquaintance have recently bought new notebooks, one with an i9 13900H and one with an i7 12700H. We were both pretty unhappy with how loud the fans were even when basically doing nothing (had one tab in Firefox and the taskmanager open - using Windows 11). We found out, that the idle frequency of the CPUs on both devices was constantly quite high (min. 1.6GHz, most of the time even more, even though hwinfo tests showed that they should go down to ~0.8GHz). Our old notebooks (i7 8750, i7 7700) and a newer Thinkpad (i5 12500) don't have this issue - the frequency drops to 0.8GHz and the fans turn off and stay silent. It's possible to browse, code and do everything else that does not create much load on the CPU without the fans spinning up at all.

On all devices we used various tweaks (turning turbo boost off etc.), but it shows no effect on newer models.

So now we're wondering if this is normal for newer notebooks (after 2018) or if there was something off with those notebooks in particular. Could AMD CPUs be better in that aspect?

We've both already returned those notebooks and can't do further testing (tho even with the manufacturer support we found no solution).

If anyone has some more experience with that topic and maybe some insight on what we should look out for on new notebooks, any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
