The sales team did a s**t job in Q1 and my company missed its targets, so they’ve frozen recruitment to save money. All recruitment, including backfill. We are three heads down at the moment, all needing to be backfilled, and we are blocked until at least Q3. Workload is high and I’m back on...

Yeah my conclusion from a few hours of searching is that it’s dire out there. There are some jobs but the salaries are laughable, public sector ones are the funniest. I quite fancy training as a HGV driver, might do that.

I’m thinking more of where I should look for a job 😃

What’s people’s IT focused job search sites/apps of choice these days? LinkedIn obviously but any other go-to sites?

That was actually a decent episode too. Of course they’re going to finish on episode 42, being the middle aged pop culture geeks that they are 😂

I had a look at that. They’re currently doing a six month offer at £26 a month for sky sports, after which it goes back to £35 a month. It gets better though. That is to stream in 720p “HD” like it’s 2010. Want full HD? Another £6 a month. 4K? Another £9 a month. So, f**k that. I’m going to do...

There’s also these https://cliosport.net/threads/cs2025-images.853128

Yeah they seem to do that fairly regularly. Wish they’d just grow some balls and go fully streaming but hey ho I guess Sky pay them a lot to lock brits out of the service.

I have cancelled Sky! After yet more messing around - “we have tried to call you“…. bloody liars - I phoned them again and this time got offered WhatsApp as a contact method. Why you can’t use live chat but can now use WhatsApp, who knows 😂 Anyway, it was genuinely easy to cancel that way. Job...

I had the Merrells angle covered, there’s nothing like a pair of walking boots for track driving.

Massive thank you to the organisers, I can’t even imagine how much work goes into something like this. Sorry that I had to leave early, but it was great to meet a few people and the 330 was good fun on track too 👍

This joke has already not aged well 😂

Don‘t kill my car, I love that thing! I”m sorry, I know it’s not mine any more, and I decided to break up, and it’s been with others since then, but I still care. Wait. What. What are we talking about?

I too am in my BnB. Never have so many miles been covered so slowly 😂 I cleaned my car a couple of weeks ago, but it lashed down for about an hour on the way here so it’s all washed again now. That’s how it works, yes?

Probably should have done a route before tonight. Arse end of beyond or what 😂 Thanks for the advice about the A55, scenic route it is.

I’m confused. Some people on this forum own Clios? What’s that all about?

I’d buy that for…. errrr…. £2.99 Doesnt have the same ring does it.

Our recruitment has been going so badly that management are suggesting we’re too picky and our online tests are too hard. So I’ve got my wife to do the test. So far, she’s doing about as well as one of our worse candidates. Bear in mind, she is 100% a user with no technical or customer support...

Scan will do exactly that, but you’ve got to get the parts from them. https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/custom/pc/pc#anc I’d imagine most independent PC shops would be happy to take you through a build, but I suspect the problem you’ll have is not having bought the parts from them - who’s liable if...

Oh I will, after the 31 day notice period is up. But I’m sure it won’t come to that, it’ll just be another agonising phone call 😂

My cancellation by email is going well. They replied to say they couldn’t find my details and can I send them my correct name, address and phone number. I mailed them back saying check again, because the details I sent are right. So that was a good start. Just got this. Obviously, despite...

https://www.ign.com/articles/robocop-rogue-city-unfinished-business-review More of the same if anyone's interested. £16.99 on CD Keys. Think I'll wait for a while and pick it up when it's under a tenner.

Didn’t even get that far. He said they had to tell me all the Sky VIP benefits I’d be missing out on and review my package to give me the best deal. I said I totally understand they have to do that as part of the retention attempt but it was pointless as whatever they offer I was cancelling. He...

I’m on the phone with the cancellation team now. Can feel my blood pressure rising as the guy tries the tricks of the trade. Edit: I very politely told them I wasn’t interested in negotiating on price and just wanted to cancel and they hung up on me 😂

Done right and properly documented, all good. If not, a descent into “it’s your system not returning the correct response/it’s your system not parsing our response correctly“ hell.

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.

Piece of piss 👍 https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/pair-dualsense-controller-bluetooth/

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.
