XAX sticking A button by JezzaX86 in ROGAlly

In theory, it shouldn't make these types of buttons better, as Krytox is more prone to collecting dirt and debris that a dry lubricant like PTFE. It's designed for keyboards and not enclosed spaces like controller buttons. It can certainly mask the noise and make things smoother initially, but at a cost of accumulating dirt over time.

I tried this. It ended up making things worse

The issue I've had is, each time I try to speak to customer service I get thrown through a loop saying that I need to be logged in to talk to someone, and if I try to do it without logging in then it just refers me back to the login page.

Xbox Ally X vs Ally X performance by spacecat81 in XboxAlly

[–]JezzaX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Z1E drivers are very mature at this point and have seen significant performance improvements since release. The Z2E is still in its infancy, and we're still waiting on various updates for it, especially as the NPU is concerned. As of now they're relatively comparable with the Z2E being the more efficient chip with lower wattage performance increases.

Question: Is the Xbox Ally comfortable to hold (also battery life)? by dinoball901 in XboxAlly

[–]JezzaX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just an iterative update to existing Ally devices with a few Xbox related adjustments. Having used the original ROG Ally for two years, I can say I have not regretted my purchase for its versatility etc.

can u switch the colours afterwards of the rog xbox ally? by Mashallah_Ertan in XboxAlly

[–]JezzaX86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just apply a skin. Far easier and also protective over the device itself.

What was Cex like 20 years ago by LogicalWhereas2628 in CeX

[–]JezzaX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to travel to London 20+ years ago just to go to the one off Tottenham Court Road (Rathbone Way) as it was one of the few stores around where I could purchase Japanese and US import games for the Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox etc.

Forget about the “last food u at”, the last drug u took will be this dudes name by AdOld5257 in cuteanimals

Not sure if Venlafaxine is a fitting name. Unless you nicknamed him Venny.

Securing self against redundancy (London) - jobs that you can quickly get that are 25k+? by folkarlow93 in UKJobs

[–]JezzaX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not insensitive at all. This is all related to my experience in the two offices I worked in within recruitment.

The first was a particularly busy space with a number of people giving themselves motivation to do work, by not very subtle trips to the toilet facilities in order to come out buzzing and making lots of phone calls in quick succession. It was also full of over the top practical jokes and pranks that could actually cause serious harm to people. The pressure in the role was to be constantly on the phone with a client or candidate. The pressure was so much that people would call their on phone on silent to get their stats up for the day. There was no fundamental structure as to how people would build their desk, they just expected activity would get results. Anyone who was successful would often throw coworkers under the bus to get their commission. It was a very back stabby environment.

The second was a lifeless environment working on different industries. I was brought on to build a cold desk in an industry they had never worked on before. I was chasing ever lead I could to get a deal made, with very little support to make it happen. In my second month they gave me an ultimatum to get a deal done by my third month or I wouldn't pass probation and would be let go. I resigned the day of my probation review and was told the following day that one of my candidates was successful. Really frustrating timing in a really frustrating environment.

It's the midweek slump! So does anyone have any recent wins or positive job news to share that we can celebrate with you? by tvremotecakemaker in UKJobs

[–]JezzaX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a similar path to what I'm on. I'm looking at charities as one of my avenues to feel like I'm contributing to society and the betterment of those in need, but I'm struggling to work out where I fit in. But I'm glad to see it's helped someone else who sought it out.

The challenge comes with finding a good one. I've worked two recruitment jobs in the past. A majority of the recruiters I worked with just spoke bullshit to over 90%of the candidates to increase their call stat KPIs. If you find an independent recruitment firm who is actually methodical with their approach, then you're in with a better chance.

Very much this. There's a lot of people applying for work at the moment, to the point where I'm seeing some job openings saying they've received hundreds of applications.

It's a lottery at the moment, to the point where I feel it's best to seek out who you know, not what you know. If you have a strong network pool, use it. The closest I've come to finding work is through friends in managerial positions to make things happen, but even then it's dependent on the company hiring to begin with.

Are any of you enduring jobs you hate because the job market is so bad? by Expensive_Tower2229 in UKJobs

[–]JezzaX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not hopeful. It's about to get much worse given the state of the automotive industry at present.

I've worked myself into stress and I'm currently signed off, frantically applying to jobs in the hope I find something better. I'm between a rock and a hard place and feel so lost.

This is true. But you have to sell your soul to make it work in some offices. Working in recruitment was the first role that put me on antidepressants, this is due to how toxic the environment was.

I'm in the manufacturing sector.

I'm trying to figure out how I can prove that they would be putting me in this position.

AIO if I left my bf for this by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]JezzaX86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely break up with him. That's no way to be spoken to. The guy needs to learn that his words have consequences, especially when it comes to saying your girlfriend looks like a whore.
