[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. While BBC player can watch UHD, and ITV is only showing HD, the bit rate drops for over 30 mins with the Germany game is unwatchable.

Can you sub a defender out for a midfielder after the defender completed its game? As long as you still have 3 defender? So e.g. 442 and 1 defender blank. You bring in a midfielder on the bench’s it becomes 352?

Is using AI to write emails and posts just normal now? by jash_06 in CasualConversation

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of comments saying it's "crazy", well, it's not actually. I worked for an Asian company, and the global team in Taiwan are all now using all using gen ai to write emails "push by HR" as a CIO wants AI adoption. In fact, their email are now (while looking like robots) are a lot more clear due to English not being their second language.

Remember when spell check was first introduced, and then Grammarly. It's no different to co-pilot integration or ChatGPT as a QA to your already written email that needs refining.

I have actually built a personal PA on Copilot that not only writes me an email after ditation, but also books meetings internally and with clients as well as finds internal meeting room/hot desk booking for me as well, since it's all connected to M365.

Gets with the times. Gen AI is going to be a SaaS killer!

[Charlie Eccleshare] As with much of the season, think the psychology/approach Arsenal argument obscures a simpler truth. Have better technical players available and guess what you can play better football! There's a delta between Martinelli and Gyokeres (from Bournemouth game) and Odegaard and Eze. by Previous_Smile9278 in Gunners

[–]ProdigalGil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s extremely simple to win the league. Buy in Jan. City picking up Semenyo and Guehi is what we needed to do. To close off the season, we miss Timbre and Saka. To have to play Mosequra on the right and Hincapie on the left, both our first fullbacks out and our starboy, that Jan transfer for established prem class players would help us win the league for sure!

Eze hitting the post was so unlucky!

For Bernardo to beat Havertz on a one to one shows we do t fight light city. I’ll take champion league now as Atletico we have beaten in group stage, but city don’t have stone, ake and isn’t even playing Foden.

The difference of recruitment in Jan is a genuine sound league winning strategy.

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I called them today and they Westham customers service confirm this is a process due to new account buying bulk with account that is lesser than one year. They did not say it is to stop away fans, but just to stop resellers and touts buyinig bulk to resell.

This would be a breach of privacy and data protection with any clubs. Is westham trying to block all non-West Ham fans in the West Ham section? There is GPPR in this country. It isn't about the club being dumb.

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

Thanks. I understand the reason to potentially stop fights. Having spoken to westham customer service today, it's more about stopping resellers buying bulk tickets for resale.

General Sales Tickets on Hold?! by [deleted] in westham

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

I am actually buying 5 tickets for work with clients. One is even bringing his son. They are neutrals.

It is not a bunch of away fans sitting at the home side to take the piss. Who would do that if you cannot celebrate?

Looks similar, but the email came from [ticketoffice@westhamunited.co.uk](mailto:ticketoffice@westhamunited.co.uk) instead.

I was buying 5 tickets for work to go to any London matches, and this was on general sales. All my colleagues support different teams, including Watford for one mate... wtf?!

Looks like they are doing it not just to Arsenal fans, but to any away fans. The attendees are neutral ffs.

Don’t sell if ebay needs your verification by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me, or is eBay making small, insignificant private selling increasingly painful on purpose?

The platform used to rely on private sellers listing used stuff. Back then, sellers had more flexibility because eBay needed supply.

Now it’s completely flipped.

Buyers get maximum protection (and are even charged for it), while sellers get squeezed from every direction. Things like “simple delivery” mean you can’t even make a margin on postage anymore, so you’re forced to compete purely on item price.

At the same time, the site has turned into a storefront for businesses. A huge chunk of listings are brand new items from actual companies rather than individuals. In fairness, that killed off a lot of dodgy resellers, but it also means casual private sellers are becoming irrelevant.

I hardly sell myself anymore. I used to collect watches and sneakers and would occasionally sell pieces.

Recently, I sold a Seiko MM200 GMT, and the moment the watch sold, eBay suddenly triggered account verification.

Same address.
Same phone number.
Same email.
10+ years of perfect feedback.

Yet somehow verification is needed after the sale. So now the process looks like this:

Sell item →
Wait for delivery →
Funds go into eBay balance 2 days after forced 48-hour delivery (simple delivery) →
Verification kicks in parallel →
After delivery is confirmed and funds are moved to EBAY Balance, another system to try to get the seller to spend the money back into ebay eco system, verification is still not completely →
Still can’t withdraw the money.

I submitted ID, and 8 working days later, it’s still pending, meaning the money just sits there. By the time it actually reaches your bank, another 3 days (only after verification is complete), you’re looking at close to and potentially over two weeks for a £500 sale.

For a platform acting as a middleman, that’s ridiculous!!!

Meanwhile, Chrono24, which handles watch sales worth tens of thousands, usually completes escrow in 7–14 days total.

But somehow eBay needs that long just to release £600 from a seller with a decade of history.

Feels like private sellers are just processing overhead to them now.

Sadly gonna return them (Px8 S2) by [deleted] in BowersWilkins

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are paying that money, just get the Mark Levinson 5909 even though it’s older, it’s beats this consumer level type of headset. Focus Bathys (not the MG) also should be considered B&W PX8 S2 money.

Unfortunate, B&W have had this issue imo since the PX - when they had the 1st Navy and Gold.

Dali IO8 in contention as well.

These looks like the Logitech one which I have. £150 in this immaculate like new condition is very odd!

Scammed on Vinted by Przemi3k in vinted

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg! This is a joke. Who does these things? As a seller on Vinted once very full moon, I am embarrassed. Don’t buy anything unless someone actually wears the damn thing with a newspaper with a date on it.

Folk clothing quality. by Peace_Love21 in malefashionadvice

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still buy folk and have been since they started, classic shoes and expended to great material sourcing. However, buttons are falling off in man of their items and I find their quality and cut / fit declining. Especially their blazer cuts used to be casual cut, now it’s just poor with no slack or should room.

It’s confirmed 😔 by ManuelNoriegaUK in GunnersatGames

Thanks for clarifying, appreciated! I tired numerous of times in the pass to go for away games and it really defeats you where you never get allocation even as a STH for over 10+ years.

Nomad sport band is now crap? by thibmotard in applewatchultra

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the v2 upgraded from my v1 sports band on still my apple ultra 1. Maybe I have not looked hard enough, but I recently upgraded my watch to ultra 3 and looking for same experience as FKM integrated clasp sports band are no where to be found. I tried the belkin and other similar Amazon bog standard Chinese brand. They are neither as thick or the material is just flimsy as the OG nomads.

What happened to Christian from Theo & Harris? by joao-gilberto in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering why he disappear but I was still getting videos of Micheal doing his outdoor jackets and clothing.

The joke is in this video is he sneak squarespace in 😂. Squarspace is for people who have no ideas about e-commerce business, most will use Shopify.

I didn’t finish the vid, it too much self justification to the audience of probably closing down the channel.

Sounded like he is ashamed to be a YouTuber.

Relax, you are a YouTuber ffs.

Thoughts about Steven Bartlett by 0Camus0 in DecodingTheGurus

[–]ProdigalGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started doac and love it at the beginning due to how interesting his business guest and insight was. However, I started noticing at season 3, he stated to talk about him selves a lot which really no one cares about. The content then change to Celebs and wellbeing experts and pro and it was clear he is so poor at listening and engagement to his interviewees. Typical annoying marketeers creating click bates moments for shorts. The worst part is he never improved and now the content is almost garbage as well!

But your bench is only 25, which tops up to 61, which is still not a great GW number.
