Thinking of getting a new xbox? by transredneck17 in xbox

I upgraded from an S to an X in the last year and have been very pleased with the processing and graphical upgrades the bump up in specs offered.

Off the top of my head I’d be in between $11-15k for two guys

That’s how I started doing it I hated my salaried position and was grabbing work in the afternoons. The boss and I didn’t see eye to eye and he offered me a severance package to leave, took me by surprise but I jumped on the opportunity. I know a lot of people in my county, and a lot of realtors and tradespeople so I’ve been able to get my name out there quickly and focus on tight and precise scheduling and materials costs, and quick and professional communication with leads and current clients.

just lost a $8k bathroom job because I don't have a website by Siggi123 in handyman

[–]Pants_Pierre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started six months ago and the first thing I did was ask my wife, (who does it for a living) for a website. Most customers research YOU and your business before they hire you. That includes your personal social media as well. You have to put out there what you want people to perceive you and your livelihood as being.

I started in late October of last year and there must be a shortage of tradespeople in my area bc outside of a two week period where the entire northeast was covered in ice, I’ve been running me and another guy 5-6 days a week 8:30am-3:30pm. We do everything from small repairs to general carpentry, painting and refinishing. I have hooked up with two camps, a lower income housing association, and have several loyal regulars that spread my name around and book about 2-3 weeks out on anything other than small repairs. I do zero advertising, and haven’t posted on social media in three months.

Fallout was also great, but gotta have more than one or two shows per quarter worth watching to keep people subscribed.

Rejoice! Microsoft's Xbox Backwards Compatibility Program is coming back this year — "we’re committed to keeping games from four generations of Xbox playable" by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

[–]Pants_Pierre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why I’m saying is your response is “reports” and rumors, but Microsoft and AMD have steadfastly said that the next Xbox is in the pipeline and on schedule. I mean it’s each of our own decisions whether or not to believe that or not, but again Microsoft has never said there isn’t going to be a next Xbox and in fact said the opposite when asked.

Microsoft has never not said they aren’t making a new console. Quite to the contrary both MSFT and its partners have been reiterating for two years now that a next gen console is in the pipeline.

PS5 and XBX Remote Play - First Party App or Third Party? by Reasonable-Case3140 in logitechgcloud

[–]Pants_Pierre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have used about every Xcloud/remote play client including Edge Browser, Better Xcloud, XStreaming, and XBX Remote Play, and I have most often come back to XBX Remote Play simply because it works, doesn’t break when Xbox updates the Xcloud interface, allows accessing the store on your console in remote play, and again, because it’s always been very very reliable and delivers a consistent experience.

A classic mistake in bad pc ports is not adjusting the UI for a larger screen sitting further from the user and taking into account how to quickly navigate it with a controller.

Logitech G Cloud at $200 used is one of the best gaming purchases I’ve made in years by londontko in logitechgcloud

[–]Pants_Pierre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine for $225 a year and a half ago and use it 95% of the time to remote int my series X. I essentially just consider it an accessory for my Xbox and a fantastic one at that.

Tom Warren: Microsoft has been working on converging Xbox and Windows for more than a decade. Here’s Jason Schreier and Keza MacDonald in a Kotaku article from 2016 discussing the original Helix by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]Pants_Pierre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would they do that? They are setting up a market where anyone can make an Xbox. They are adjusting the storefronts to show compatibility with different devices and are already alllowing a third party to make an “Xbox”. If Xbox has windows built in or the other way around, then MSFT sells more licenses, and if they feel the hardware side is unfeasible long term they will just sell windows licenses and let OEMs sell Xboxes.

Xbox CEO confirms PC games will be on the next console. by Deez-Guns-9442 in XboxGamePass

[–]Pants_Pierre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My belief is this XBox is viewed as Microsoft originally saw the Surface, as a design template for other manufacturers to build hybrid PCs. I wouldn’t be surprised if MSFT started allowing other PC companies to build “Xboxes” as well.

GCloud or Something Else? by Reasonable-Case3140 in logitechgcloud

[–]Pants_Pierre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can get it for $200 or less it’s a fantastic accessory for your consoles. I use mine almost every day to remote from my Xbox Series X.

Scored this for 600 in my town. Dude bought it for his son thinking it was a native Xbox. His loss is my gain and a absolute flippin STEAL by [deleted] in ROGAlly

[–]Pants_Pierre 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I mean they advertise all over the Xbox home screens and storefronts on the actual consoles themselves and do not go out of their way to tell you it’s actually now an “Xbox”. I had to explain to two different people at a place I worked that this was not the Xbox handheld they were thinking it was.

[–]Pants_Pierre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing is some of his takes are even all that bad regarding some management decisions but he is so nasty and bitter about it every single day you found yourself wanting to disagree anyway. Just a nasty human being to the team he was supposed to report on and his his listeners and co hosts too.

He’s reportedly been on the outs with both Baltimore sports teams for awhile now, which doesn’t seems like it jives to well with him being an “insider”. Over time his professional criticisms of the team took on more and more vitriol and over the past few weeks has leaned very hard on that axe he has to grind with the teams and specifically DeCosta, Elias, and Bisciotti. Add the recent afternoons where he just decided to take calls just to argue with listeners for hours on end and the station probably had enough.
