Zafira B Leaking Water Under Car / Personal_Finance / Motoring
By: HGR
Here's another Zafira B video, of what motorists can expect to experience after buying one. Here, I find my Zafira is leaking water! A lot of water! About 1 litre per hour so it's not due any rain the day before. What new nightmare do I face, find out as I try to determine where the water is coming from, and hoping that it's not related to my engine else it would imply the head gasket has blown! Yikes that fix would cost more than the cars worth!!
Another video of what I experienced over my near 10 year ownership of a Zafira than surely shall you, only a matter of time! Anyway you probably are already experiencing it hence why you arrived at this video! But do remember to subscribe for new Zafira B videos.

Is Oculus Quest 2 Good Upgrade for Samsung Gear VR Users? / Personal_Finance / Virtual Reality
By: HGR
It looks like Samsung gear users finally have a reason to upgrade their ageing smartphone powered Samsung Gear VR headsets following the release of Oculus Quest 2. Amazon UK Oculus Quest 2 - https://amzn.to/3lYujFS
It all comes down to resolution per eye, Quest 1 only represented a 10% or so jump in resolution for which Oculus demanded a hefty £400 payment that and it had a litany of flaws such as NO blue tooth, NO microsd card slot!
Whilst Quest 2 is far from perfect i.e. still no blue tooth or Microsd card slot so users are forced to pay rip off price for extra storage space, at about three times the market price for the same storage!

Dell S3220DGF 31.5 Inch VA Gaming Monitor Amazon Prime Day Bargain Price! But WIll it Get Delivered? / Personal_Finance / Shopping
By: HGR
I have been wanting to buy a pair of these 31.5inch curved screen Dell gaming monitors for some time, but the price was never right, that is not until Prime Day which saw the price drop from £415 to £379! So no time wasting I immediately bought 2! Though subsequent to purchase it's not clear how soon I well get them delivered. Anyway I've bought 2 at a bargain price that still stands for at least the remainder of Prime Day 2020!
So if your on the look out for a GOOD 32 inch gaming monitor, then the Dell S3220DGF in my opinion is one of the best especially at the current discounted price for £379.
UK - Dell S3220DGF £379 - https://amzn.to/2Io4MHn

For Some Remote Workers, It Pays to Stay Home… If Home Stays Local / Personal_Finance / Employment
By: John_Mauldin
By Dawn Pennington : None of us are medically invincible. We saw that last week when the president and first lady announced they had tested positive for COVID-19.
Remote work has helped to save many jobs and lives. And as coronavirus infection and death rates continue to tick higher, many people are settling into the idea of teleworking for the longer haul.
For some, that means social-distancing from expensive cities and seeking more space in the suburbs or across state lines.

Ryzen ZEN 3: The Final Nail in Intel's Coffin! Cinebench Scores 5300x, 5600x, 5800x, 5900x 5950x / Personal_Finance / Computing
By: HGR
Here's why now is one of the best times to consider upgrading your old PC to a new system based on the just launched AMD Zen 3 5000 series processors.
The Zen 3 launch has surprised all to the upside and is thus set to have an even more devastating impact on Intel's market share as AMD decidedly takes the gaming crown away from Intel's flag ship 10900k processor.
Even worse for Intel is that it looks like ALL of Zen 3 CPU skews will BEAT Intel's 10900k in single core bench marking and thus most games if the cinebench scores for the two processors launched pan out i.e. the 5900x and the 5950.

AMD Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 Launch - Performance, Prices Skews, Cinebench r20 Scores, 5800x, 5900x, 5950x / Personal_Finance / Computing
By: HGR
It's less than 2 hours to go before the big reveal at 5pm UK time when we finally get to discover the magic that AMD has worked on it's ZEN 3 5000 series of processors, Yes they will be 5000 series and not 4000 series as I concluded way back in May 2020 because AMD had already released their 4000 series APU's which are based on Zen 2 and not Zen 3 i.e. last Gen so would sow much confusion in the minds of many prospective buyers assuming that for instance a 4700x and 4700G were of the same generation when they are not.
What IPC Increase! My expectations since May have been to expect an increase of between about 15% and 22%, since which there is speculation that single core could achieve a gain of as much as 27% whilst multi-core a gain of about 15%.

Forget RTX 3080 Get Zen 3 Ryzen 5900x / 5950x - GPU vs CPU - PC Bottlenecking / Personal_Finance / Computing
By: HGR
Whenever we do a video about pc's, we are asked if X will bottleneck Y... well today we are going to show you what REAL bottlenecking looks like and why your focus should be on getting the most powerful CPU you can afford first before you even think about the GPU. Which I know at present is hard to do given the GPU mania currently underway in the run upto and release of Nvidia's RTX 3000 series and their liberal dosing to hundreds of youtubers who have dutifully been busy pumping out effectively adverts for Nvidia that looks set to be replicated on release of AMD's Big Navi!
But thankfully in the middle of the two side shows we have the real release of 2020 which are AMD Zen3 Ryzen processors, the 5000 series which is where prospective PC upgraders should be focused on.

By: Dylan_Moran
The stock markets are currently more volatile than they have been at any point for years, with some companies, markets, and sectors suffering sharp losses while others have enjoyed rapid increases in their stock prices.
For example, in 2020, after starting at record highs, the S&P 500 dropped over 1,000 points in March and April, before going on a six-month rally. In early September, this rally has been halted with several days of heavy selling.
