For now. 5 years ago the current state would have been unthinkable. With the speed that AI is developing, in another 5 years who knows. I'd hesitate suggesting anyone consider starting a career in coding now - it doesn't seem like an industry were many humans will have long term prospects any...

Software engineers making themselves redundant, and thinking they're so clever whilst doing it.

Thank you. Even if it came with one it is exceedingly unlikely I still have it after all this time and even less likely I'd be able to find it!!

The 7700xt may well be overkill tbh (especially at 1920x1200) - I only started looking this evening. My son wanted me to play Sea of Thieves with him (him on the Xbox, me on PC) and the 1660Ti wasn't having it! Other than that.... BG3 made it struggle a bit. OK, so... spec suggestions? I don't...

Have you considered a design role? I've spent the last 10 years designing and building database systems (as time passes, spending more time in the design and less in the build. It requires a mixture of people skills (extracting useable requirements from business people), data skills (what...

Awwww maaan

When you're an ant, both an elephant a buffalo seem very large...

I'm currently running an i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz CPU with a 1660Ti. I'm thinking of replacing the GPU with maybe a 4060 or a 7700XT - something around that level. But I'm wondering about the CPU - I've had it a *long* time (long enough ago that Overclockers have forgotten the order history)...

Seems a rather convoluted way of doing that - a record create date and record update date are pretty standard fields on a database.

A lot of people seem to miss this. It isn't in the long term best interest of stores or manufacturers to ignore scalping as it harms the market. In a dog-eat-dog world, you end up with fewer and fewer dogs - which isn't good if you're selling chew toys.

Sounds like a MUD of some sort - the first type of MMORPG

The audiophile world is absolutely *rife* with snake oil and emperors new clothing. "Reviews" of things from people within those communities are utterly worthless - as proven by the number of them who will swear blind that a particular HDMI cable improve picture sharpness and/or colour.

This was a broadband supplier I had several years ago. I don't still have the paperwork.

If you want a laugh, read the WhatHifi review of the Tacima CS947 Tacima CS947 review | What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com) Apparently the mains adaptor you use can "squeeze the soundstage somewhat"

It's entirely possible it was a different company too. It was definitely a broadband provider though. And we were with NTL at one point (then moved to an area that wasn't cabled) but we've also moved since then too, so... who knows. But anyway - VM have something in their T&Cs that...

Well that sucks - I think it was NTL (who were Virgin before they were Virgin), but it was a long time ago so I'm not sure.

Read your contract closely. In the past I've been in a similar situation - moved to a new house that didn't have cable - and the contract said that under such circumstances they'd close it. Alternatively, say you don't want to end the contract but insist that they provide the service to...

That's not really it being impossible to fire somebody, that's your former company being useless. It's not at all impossible to fire somebody for incompetence - even if they've been around for a while - you just can't do it straight away and there are processes to be followed. Mostly, people...

There are legal maximum power outputs for a single device, so increasing coverage is going to be a matter of adding devices (mesh, repeaters, wired APs etc).

I second the recommendation for the Pot Still. Also, it's October now so the weather will be pish, bring a coat.
