It makes sense to me, I’d certainly buy one again if I had a car with harnesses. Seems cheap compared to potential spinal cord damage 😂 The number of cars I see advertised with harnesses where they’re incorrectly mounted so the drivers spine gets compressed in a smash still boggles my mind.

Interest rates aren't kind, Winter is coming (er... I mean Christmas), there's a budget next month where god alone knows what's going to happen, fuel bill hikes have been in the news, all in all it's a tricky time for discretionary spending. Also I think you're in a small market for a car like...

Someone who hates the support team?

I don’t see how you can lose at that price TBH. Great option for a starter kit.

Coooo! Very nice. I'm definitely happy with my Moza R3, it's a step up from the Logitech G920 for sure. Just need to find the time and motivation to use the damn thing more!

Anyone else get clobbered by the AWS authentication outage this morning? Knocked out our automated monitoring for every customer in North America, so that was a fun 90 minutes until they got it working again 😂

I’ll be selling my G920 soon if that’s any use. It’s very well reviewed, TBH given Fanatec’s current woes the Moza seems like the way to go for me, at least if buying new.

DP is fully digital, so you shouldn’t lose any quality by using a switch box. I’d just pick up something well reviewed from Amazon, they’re cheaper on AliExpress but much easier to do an Amazon return if needed.

Thanks, useful to know. I have some decent SD cards kicking about so I’ll be sure to do that.

For £25 all in I just ordered one of the R36S things from AliExpress. They're selling for more on eBay so if I don't like it.... meh.....

Just ordered the new Moza R3 kit for the XBox. Proper direct drive unit, although only 4nm peak torque. Added the brake pedal upgrade too, not a load cell unit but should still be a step up from what I’ve got now. https://mozaracing.com/product/r3-racing-wheel-and-pedals

It’s standard stuff, as part your insurance contract you agree to assist them with litigation. Technically it’s you who are having legal action taken against you by the third party insurers, so that‘s not a disclaimer but is authorising your ex-insurers to act for you in defending or settling...

Is it just the time delay that’s worrying you? Pretty standard to be asked to give a witness statement if the third party insurer has gone legal on it. What’s sketchy looking about the disclaimer?

Single best thing I’ve added to my rig recently was digging an old portable air conditioner out of a cupboard 😂 It’s in a small room that gets sun almost all day, and a 42” OLED plus the Xbox chucks out a s**t-ton of heat. Still uhming and ahhing over what wheel upgrade to go for. I’m not...

Only if they're Slot 1, none of this socketed garbage ;)

Very well, apparently. Intel are in the s**t big time IMO.

Oh look - if your share price shoots up because you talk about a thing, but don't actually make money doing a thing, then sooner or later the bubble bursts. Who knew. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5ykkryglp3t?post=asset%3A3c675575-5218-4bb9-87ad-f9f447be6253#post

I…. Um…… I‘m a bit bereft of toys at the moment but tend to have an old rackmount server or some sort of other gadget on the go, just to tinker with.

Fair, I missed your edit (y)

Starlink is a good shout, if expensive. I've been using this for my home internet connection for the last year, can't fault it, 4k streaming, work meetings, all good. Way faster than the poxy fixed line broadband I can get here. I do have a strong 4G signal with EE though. It takes an external...

I saw this over in the funny pictures thread and it got me thinking So, I’m a 30 year time served veteran in customer support/success, my job title is architect, I work in financial reconciliation with some of the biggest banks and institutions in the world. I have never, ever done an IT...

At our place we couldn't sell our cloud SaaS solution for years, almost everyone wanted on-prem. Suddenly it was like someone threw a switch and now all we can sell is SaaS. Same product, same solution, we've gone from six cloud customers two years ago to over twenty. It is literally just that...

That would be most unethical. Excellent.

Cloud is amazing, with the right use case. You want to scale on a whim, with workload, and might have to deal with some massive peaks from time to time? f**king excellent, fill your boots. Just dumping a VM from an in-house server to a cloud server, "because cloud" and you want to fire your IT...

Bloody hell. I almost placed an order with them last week, but all of the DD wheel bases were out of stock which seemed odd. I guess that's why.

They must be shifting stock now the new one's out. Bloody hell that's tempting though, I know it has an issue with frying SD cards but still.

Every day is xkcd day, but especially gone 5pm on a Friday when you're still working :D

I get to run some recursive delete commands on one of our EC2 instances later today. As root. What could go wrong.

Many people at Crowdstrike got that creeping ice water down the spine sensation really badly last night as the true horror of the issue dawned. Can you imagine the shitstorm!

As if all the other b****cks wasn’t bad enough…. “Drop don’t the ball on BAU”…..
