    HELP I need a new desktop PC

    A little caution re Windows 10. Recent rumours talk about M$ dropping support for it in 2025. I can't fault Lenovo for smaller machines, I've been very happy with them... Though the current one on my desk (build for my wife) is built from bits. Case, 500W psu, Asus (AMD cpu) motherboard, SSD for...

    Moss

    (Guess+ my choice) When wet, since most are water based. Ideally damp, takes less 'stuff'

    Laptop "repair"?!

    Fairly effective way of 'securing' old hard drives. Unscrew all the screws. Take the actual disk. 16oz hammer does its thing. In the bin. Probably work with an SSD ;-)

    Vice lining?

    Leather. Jaws appear to favour left side (no idea why), so helps. Sourced from a cheap leather apron on Amazon.

    The things you find out....

    In reading through graduate CV's I found it interesting the number with very poor English skills.

    The things you find out....

    Comment on the radio; seems few university students read a book end to end? Just the extracts, summaries etc.

    Thoughts on graphic's software

    Qcad has the ability to scale (for your documentation) on output? Depends where (which app) you're aiming for, but format conversion is a simpler task once the drawing is scaled to fit?

    And I chose Makita batteries...

    Performance can vary widely within any standard. IMHO the customer 'definition' of standards will be the interchangeability and shared charger?

    And I chose Makita batteries...

    Not sure I can see a manufacturer changing direction totally for the sake of a battery? No need.

    And I chose Makita batteries...

    Good point. I'd certainly think about that... Which might address the competition (within a standard) that has been put forward as a reason for 'not' having a standard? Would most here think about 'daffy daves' batteries? Not if you were a serious user surely?

    And I chose Makita batteries...

    Not sure why you assume I'd buy a 'berts battery' rather than a Makita battery (compliant with the standard)? I know which manufacturer I'd prefer to buy from.

    And I chose Makita batteries...

    Again I beg to differ Roy? Switching to a common battery (physical battery size, connection type, firmware interface are the necessary changes). That does not (in my mind) necessitate all e.g. drills look alike, perform alike etc? Two (3 maybe) mouldings, connector spec, software change. No more?

    Agree with your first para @Spectric - not sure what car design has to do with batteries and economies of scale?

    And I chose Makita batteries...

    That's taking design to extremes @Spectric . I'd describe it as minor adaptation to increase sales.
