Intel XMP is just a proprietary overclocking/memory timing thing. It doesn’t mean the RAM is intel only or won’t work without XMP.

I prefer using Xbox controllers too, most PC games know what it is and map everything nicely. Dualshock also works though. Not that I often use a controller but some games (e.g. Stray) pretty much need one.

I totally get the concern, but it’ll be fine. These days Amazon put sod all packaging around stuff anyway so it would just have been a box in another box, next to zero extra shock protection.

It’ll be fine, as long as the box wasn’t crushed etc. Very common these days for things to be shipped like that.

Yeah they do, but it’s live only with no catchup etc and the price is carefully pitched that if you’re not a very occasional user you’re better off getting a proper subscription.

Think I’m going to bin it off and get an F1 TV pro subscription again. I would genuinely quite happily pay them a tenner a month, even twenty a month, to just have Sky F1 and nothing else but nope you have to have the TV package and all the sports on top, and it’s a 24 month contract now where...

Sky Q box needs a dish which can need installation, it’s a bigger bit of kit with a hard drive in it so higher shipping and warranty costs. Much cheaper for them to just send out a little streaming box. Mine’s going up by £15 at the start of September but thankfully I’m out of contract pretty...

We used to use Keepass at work, it was…. “OK”. Bitwarden now and it’s decent, no complaints. At the end of the day, just want something transparent which keeps out of the way.

Can't remember, when we booked the track time did we have to specify a car? If we're bringing a different one than originally intended, does anyone need to be notified?

That is absolutely the right way to use it. Problem is, not enough people do and it makes it so easy for blaggers.

I’m genuinely concerned by the impact. Googling everything was one thing, but at least you had to be able to read and summarise it. Now it seems like way too many people can’t even write an email without AI.

Oh, and we binned off all six candidates that we interviewed. Depressing. I have now added to the job advert “Candidates who primarily use pre-existing solutions, web searches or generative AI to support industry standard products are unlikely to succeed in this role” You just can’t Google...

I mean, it’s not impossible. The office is in Bristol and I’ve no idea who you are IRL…….

Such a good feeling!
