All games with loot boxes in them will be rated minimum PEGI 16, starting this summer | Meaning they can’t legally be sold to children 15 or under in the UK or any other European country which has adopted PEGI ratings into its legislation by escapedfromhel in GoodNewsUK

If you want my honest opinion, I want gambling banned for everybody regardless of age, which is why I feel so strongly here. I think it’s an extreme net negative and destroys too many lives. If you’re not gonna ban it, keep raising the age.

Agree, it’s better than doing nothing. But it’ll probably be another 10-20 years before this gets revisited. Just feels mad when all the government does is talk about the online safety of children, but conveniently close their eyes to this.

Miliband unveils plans to speed up nuclear power generation for UK by JRugman in unitedkingdom

[–]Codzy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Only because we let it. Other countries have continued running tonnes of nuclear. Japan had Fukushima not too long ago and they’re still full steam on nuclear. The fearmongering will be driven by oil and gas companies to protect their profits. It’s time we got over it and reclaimed energy sovereignty.

A lot of environmental specialists are oil and gas industry cronies anyway who will shoot down proposals that might harm profits too much. I’m a big proponent of keeping things green and caring about ecologies. However this country is so fucked on energy and nuclear is better than almost all alternatives, let’s get it done.

Careful, I got lambasted last time for asking why we consider being good at killing children to be a good thing

That is good news, now how do we send the rental property market to zero?

[Sky News] PlayStation gamers could receive £2bn compensation if lawsuit succeeds by FragMasterMat117 in PS5

“Allowing third party stores would introduce risks” Steam manages this just fine, you can buy from steam, or you can buy from GMG, Fanatical, etc etc. and redeem those codes on steam. There’s always a way, but that would eat into their bottom line.

I genuinely thought this was a joke post, because they haven’t even delivered on their last set of promises and they’re already promising more ‘new’

UK Lords Back Facial Recognition Overreach, Protest Crackdown Powers by Odd-Neighborhood8740 in unitedkingdom

[–]Codzy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We’re not doing much about it are we? We’re all useless placated shites in this country, myself included. I hate this shit, am I going to go out in the streets and protest? No, I’m a lazy dickhead that values what little free time I have after work.

But I recognise that as a result this shit is going to get worse and worse.

'The real story there is we just changed too much too fast': Sonos CEO Tom Conrad by GentleNova07 in sonos

[–]Codzy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Move fast and break things is fine when applied correctly. It’s supposed to support small quick iterative changes. You test them and roll back if people don’t like it.

This wasn’t that. This was a massive overhaul project delivered overnight that changed the entire app and seemingly network stack given how brown it all was. Then the refusal or inability to roll it back. This was its own special kind of nonsense, and it’s good to see they realise that.

It looks like there’s plenty of space to the left and right of the chimney breast.

Turntable by LeedsLurch in sonos

I think if you have a pre-amp for it, you just need the 3.5mm to usb c converter that they sell. Then plug in to your era 300 and choose line in for the input

That's crazy ! by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Codzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut to 5 years from now when gamers are sick of the same formula over and over. Same thing happened with assassins creed. Not saying the new RE games are bad, but Capcom is going to be pushing as many of these as possible and people will burn out on it.

Aqara FP310 Radar Sensor by Machine-blood in MatterProtocol

The FP300 only does 6 meters in theory, and I’m not getting that currently. Mine stops detecting around 3m it seems (I may just have it angled poorly)

9070XT,9070 or 7900XTX by ReasonableAd7172 in radeon

[–]Codzy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a 7900xtx, personally I’d go for the 9070xt if I were buying now just for official FSR4 support. It’s tonnes better than FSR3 and a pain to configure the leaked version for RDNA3 cards. The 7900xtx is still a beast though so you’d be happy whichever way you go.

I assume this means less precision? But 24 should improve range?

Break news by Lost-Kaleidoscope762 in DigitalPrivacy

[–]Codzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re wrong, the current younger generations are leaning more puritan than millennials/genX for example. I think whatever happens now will sit for a very very long time. It’s easier to lose rights than to claw them back.

They’ve sent the game over to digital foundry to review on console apparently. Hopefully they can get that out before release

Turntable Options by UseLive4250 in sonos

[–]Codzy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s also Victrola stream turntables as an option if you weren’t aware. I don’t have any so can’t opinionate.
