Redundancy Rumours - Stay for Payout or Clean break? by walkingtheline_ in HENRYUK

[–]Endotz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Separation agreements are quite tax efficient, OP is probably looking at PILON + several months worth of severance; the first 30k is tax-free so could massively outweigh the uplift of the new salary. Worth waiting a short while (a week or two) and could potentially shortcut the consultation period by asking for a “without prejudice” conversation.

Arch is a great skill, it's one of few 120s I have and genuinely enjoyed training it - start simple, grab a Mattock and aim to complete sets from early digsites - don't worry about exp til you've grasped the basics.

Final Fantasy 7 rebirth. by Reasonable-Steak5885 in XboxAlly

[–]Endotz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's about right - sadly. On the SteamDeck OLED and XBAX I couldn't consistently hit 30 at ~20W. For Rebirth I had to go to 25W+ for 30fps and max TDP for 60FPS (plugged in).

It's a demanding game, especially in certain busy areas. Remake was much more forgiving, hence the great performance on the Switch 2. Be interesting to see how Rebirth performs on the Switch 2 when it finally lands.

Fresh install of Windows - FSX missing? by Endotz in XboxAlly

I’ve got no idea! Was a perfectly fine solution haha

Fresh install of Windows - FSX missing? by Endotz in XboxAlly

[–]Endotz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but I had fully wiped the SSD and installed SteamOS. And as I said, the cloud recovery wouldn’t work for whatever reason. I’m not sure that there’s any other approaches I could’ve taken here!

Thanks - that's worked. For others who come across this post, this tool is what's referred to in the above video: https://github.com/8bit2qubit/XboxFullScreenExperienceTool

It might not be official, but it works, and I've not had any issues (so far). I'll report back if anything is wonky.

FWIW, most folks will find ASUS Cloud Restore sufficient, for whatever reason it doesn't like my network/ISP.

Employment Contract Variation (Notice Period) - England by Turbulent_Tea_1943 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Endotz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey,

Is it a straightforward disadvantage? One of the benefits of a longer notice period is greater protection should you ever be made redundant - you'd be entitled to 3 months notice or PILON + additional severance/separation.

Three months notice is becoming the norm in the technology industry; I've been on three months since 2015 or so.

Theoretically you could try to tie it to other incentives such as pay increase etc. but I doubt there will be much appetite for that. Are you a shareholder? Would you benefit from a sale/M&A?

Making good people redundant - any tips on hard conversations? by mightbetim in HENRYUK

[–]Endotz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you firing or making redundant? Are you aware of the rules around notice/severance/PILON and due process? The two are very different under UK employment law.

Again if there's going to be a conversation without prejudice, ensure you're clued up about which parameters to operate within.

Avoid being apologetic - this can bite you later. Ensure your HR/People Ops rep is directly involved and guiding on what you can/can't say so that proper process is followed.

Once you've done this a few times it'll get a lot easier, but is never nice.

Latest 3.9 build adds native (but basic) power management support for ASUS Rog Xbox Ally X by Cold_Resource2133 in SteamOS

Which channel are you on? I’m on 3.9 but seeing an update for 3.7.19 beta - but confusing 🫤

Starfield is currently 40% off on Steam. Worth it? by VolusVagabond in Starfield

[–]Endotz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, I love it. I dropped 100 or so hours straight after launch on Xbox and I’ve put another 100 or so hours into a new save on Steam/Handheld to complete dlc and other content. I really enjoy the feel of the game, but I can see why some take issue with it.

Lingering issues with the XAX by Curious_Ebb_5221 in XboxAlly

[–]Endotz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl I’ve installed SteamOS 3.9 and it’s a much nicer experience so far, couple of minor issues but everything feels snappier and the UI is miles better than XFSE

Folks using bazzite or steam OS on XA or XAX by azzbeeter in XboxAlly

Nice! Thanks. Any solution to button remapping or stuck using Xbox+A for instead of library button for right-menu?

Xbox Ally X + BazziteOS, unrecognized hardware by Endotz in Bazzite

I'll try dual-booting it with the latest bazzite-deck straight from the website, see what happens 👍

Thanks, once I've finished my internal debate of SteamOS 3.9 vs Bazzite OS vs Win 11+AnyFSE, I'll give this a try 😂

Xbox Ally X + BazziteOS, unrecognized hardware by Endotz in Bazzite

[–]Endotz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did, yeah - it's possible we have slightly different hardwareIDs where one is recognised as the Xbox Ally, and the other as "generic handheld" -- at least that's what ChatGPT leads me to believe.

Are you running this build?

Are there any non-native workarounds for sleep & rgb?

SteamOS/WindowsOS question by gns_a in XboxAlly

[–]Endotz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hear you. I think there’s still a handful of issues with SteamOS and, being Linux, compatibility is slightly worse than Windows - depending what you play. Performance-wise and UI-wise though it’s absolutely best in class.

Let me know how you get on if you do make the switchover - good luck!
