    Mid-life crisis series - do you enjoy your job?

    Well it's just a really good atmosphere and feels very social. Very flexible working. For example last week I had to sort out a new washing machine, delivery and fitting as mine broke so needed a few hours away from work. Not a problem. I go in every day to the office as I like to go in, but it...

    Mid-life crisis series - do you enjoy your job?

    Not Playboy, not OnlyFans - games.

    Mid-life crisis series - do you enjoy your job?

    Haha no, somewhere much better. It is good money, zero stress, lovely people, my time is my own and treated like an adult. Previous place was toxic but glad I left it and moved to where I am now. Coming up to two years here.

    Mid-life crisis series - do you enjoy your job?

    Really enjoy mine. Actually prefer the weekdays to the weekends as that's when I can be at work. Had to use all my holiday up at Christmas as I hadn't taken any as I didn't want to during the year. I'm definitely at the best place I've ever worked. Not a single complaint.

    Processes with a ridiculous number of stages

    Was a startup with a few people. No hr. They were the ones to initiate it all by messaging me on LinkedIn. Given I was working remotely for a different place I thought it would be nice to be working at a place in my city. Glad I turned it down even if the money had been right. Shortly after I...

    Processes with a ridiculous number of stages

    My rule is two, maybe three meetings. No tests, spend a day working with them for free or any other rubbish like that. If it is that type of place then it's not for me. Place where I am now had it spot on when I interviewed and the process was exactly how I liked it. Had two meetings where it...

    Are you embarrassed to put "Online Gamer" on your CV ?

    I would not personally and I work in games. Although it would not bother me if someone did considering where I work. I tend to ask people what games they play during an interview anyway as they often will lead into this when they tell me about themselves. I usually tailor my cv to the job. Not...

    RAM for Raptor Lake upgrade

    I think I would need 64GB for my uses though over 32GB (2x32GB or 4x16?). The fastest I have been able to find for 2x32GB is the 5600 MHZ one. Looking forward to seeing what the benchmarks say.

    RAM for Raptor Lake upgrade

    I will be building a new PC when Raptor Lake is out. Last time I built one was 2013 and I am very out of the loop with what to get. The choice is between 32GB and 64GB. I am thinking more along the lines of 64GB for my use cases. This is gaming but also work. Lots of compiling big custom C++...

    ** LG 27GP950 AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW - LIMITED AVAILABILITY **

    Can't try the update. Both monitors say to connect it to USB but it's already connected. The attached USB devices work. Tried all the other USB ports too. I've managed an update before when I first bought them.

    Upgrading old keyboard

    I am looking to upgrade from a razer blackwidow I bought 10 years ago or so for a new second pc. Been doing my research and I liked the look of the das keyboard 4 pro. I was thinking of going for it with brown switches as I do gaming but also programming work. The above keyboard is a bit hard...

    ** LG 27GP950 AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW - LIMITED AVAILABILITY **

    I updated the firmware in the end last night and not had the issue today so far. I have had a different issue though now. They have switched properly off sometimes and require powering back on by pressing the button. I thought it might be the deep sleep as it's happened when I have been away...

    ** LG 27GP950 AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW - LIMITED AVAILABILITY **

    Just had two of these arrive today. I am finding though both will switch off then back on momentarily every now and then. This is not when playing games. Just desktop browsing the internet. Any idea why this is? Wrong settings somewhere? Poor cable? I am using the display port cables that came...

    Struggling to hire/retain staff

    Happened a lot at my last job. People kept leaving for all sorts of reasons. The low pay being one of them. There was no payrise last year and well with the cost of living going up... People kept leaving and telling me I should leave. When I heard the significant pay raises they were receiving...

    PC for gaming and software development

    Okay not much difference really. I guess it makes the top one not good value for money, unless you want to throw it away or brag. Would definitely consider those then. I do a lot of Unreal compiling and custom engine work. Yes! One of the projects I work on is 1.5tb from the Perforce repository...

    PC for gaming and software development

    Hello all. I am looking to build a new pc. Been several years since I last did this and that is what my current pc is from - 2013. Been using the work pc at home since covid but need to give that back as moved to a new job. I am a bit out of the loop with components but have a rough idea from...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S22 Family Thread ****

    I would imagine the "free" one will get blocked eventually from its imei if not returned.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S22 Family Thread ****

    I wonder if it is because I cancelled my upgrade then reordered. I initially ordered the 128gb as an upgrade (they only had that). Later on the 256gb appeared for the same price (128gb was now cheaper). I rung up and they cancelled the upgrade then added in a new order for the 256gb. I received...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S22 Family Thread ****

    I received two parcels (like some others on here). I saw on the dpd tracking I had two and wondered why. Seems I have two phones now! Will need to contact EE about this.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S22 Family Thread ****

    Mine does this, it appears for a brief moment when you unlock. Although I didn't intend to use natural. It is fine when in vivid.
