The Rugby World Cup is just about to get underway with France taking on Argentina.

Anyone else going to be watching, your thoughts about the game/whole world cup in general.

I also thought it better to just pop everything about the world cup in one thread rather than create individual threads per game as it would make this forum rather cluttered just about one subject.

There was a Rugby World Cup thread.

I'm going watch last 2 games of Portugal. The others are broadcasted on weekends, when I'm working.

Tomorrow we're going to kick some Scottish ass. :p

Yeah England do need to step it up a gear or 3 when we play South Africa or we will lose, badly.

Not really a great result especially considering our opponents, but at least we won. Should of got a scoreline more like towards the numbers that New Zealand and Australia managed against their opponents.

What do you mean we will....we did and we got pwned...it was pretty awful.

If anyone isnt aware - England just beat Australia!!!!

Most of it was defense work on the England side, saw Australia constantly trying to penetrate our defence. The last 20 mins was bloody intense - so many close calls on either sides!

All in all, im going to be grinning all day now :D

England played really well that game. Australia looked very dangerous a lot of times but couldn't really do anything about it. France <b>or</b> New Zealand - neither would be nice; but that's the way it goes. Preferably France to be honest lol nobody likes going against NZ!

England FTW! :)

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
