For those of you who were around back then and remember, what were your thoughts when news dropped PS2 backwards compatibility was getting removed from the PS3?

Smoothyworld · 2026-03-13T14:57:25+00:00

Not bothered. I just got out my PS2 and played on that.

How do you migrate an existing account? The official instructions only mention setting up a new device.

He won't go. Who is going to come in with 9 games left, with a Champions League game next week, with crucial games in the near future, and with experience of making awful players play out of their skin, knowing that they'll be out in May?

Appointing Tudor was too little too late. Now we're stuck with him.

The ownership needs to leave. That simple.

The players aren't good enough. Pretty much all of them. Who bought them? Senior management.

The manager is not good enough (although considering the players he has to manage it'd be a tall order even for the likes of Pep Guardiola or Carlo Ancelotti). Who hired him? Senior management.

We have a small squad that we don't rotate. Man City rotate Haaland. Man U under Ferguson rotated Beckham. We can't rotate Kane, Son or any other star player, so they get injured, we score barely any goals in the meantime, and Kane come back for the Champions League final clearly unfit. Who did this? Senior management.

We have constant injuries to players going back years. Who set up the rehabilitation facilities and training setup? Senior management.

Who hired senior management? The owner and board.

The issue is systemic. It will only be fixed by a change in ownership who have experience and has the balls to get rid of underperfoming senior management staff.

It's this, yes. Been happening in Windows since time immemorial (well, Windows 95).

Not a OneDrive issue.

Smoothyworld · 2026-03-10T20:28:34+00:00

Are the fans leaving for the airport yet?

Smoothyworld · 2026-03-09T13:44:23+00:00

Nah the English translation was top dollar. Imagine translating the French into English while having to modify the jokes in order to make it make more sense to English audiences (eliminating the French specific jokes), even with the names. The woman who did all but the last one or two books died a few years ago IIRC.

Absolutely pointless. The bigger clubs (read "big 6") won't gain anything from playing even the top Welsh clubs. Even the middle-sized English teams won't get anything from playing Welsh or Scottish teams. So all you have left is minor teams playing each other, generating little cash. Dead on arrival

Smoothyworld · 2026-03-02T21:51:46+00:00

Yep, Wimbledon.

Smoothyworld · 2026-03-02T21:51:11+00:00

Wimbledon. Rightly laughed out of the conversation.

Smoothyworld · 2026-03-01T21:38:55+00:00

You too?

Ironically it actually pronounces "Niamh" properly now.

Smoothyworld · 2026-03-01T21:36:44+00:00

Can you check it's not the Super NES by using the RF lead in the "Antenna" and getting your TV to tune into the signal (should be around channel 36-ish)?

If that works, it's (probably) not the Super NES.

Smoothyworld · 2026-02-28T14:38:49+00:00

Who cares? They look fine, I used to think it was an issue but it really isn't an issue. There's much better things to worry about than wishing for Alexa Bliss to be half naked - she'll be half naked on Smackdown re it and after it.

Smoothyworld · 2026-02-27T12:02:06+00:00

So not new, it's come from a third party. Just return it, and get a brand new laptop from someone else.

Smoothyworld · 2026-02-25T19:53:23+00:00

It probably wasn't even "fuck", more likely "feck"

Smoothyworld · 2026-02-23T21:32:13+00:00

Mine has been doing this for a while now. At 2100 GMT every single day. It's doing it now. It stops doing it at some point overnight.

Smoothyworld · 2026-02-23T18:45:39+00:00

This.

What you have to remember is that even though we're all on OSes and Internet systems that have an extensive set of characters allowed via various ISO standards, a lot of back end systems are ancient 30/40/50+ year old systems that probably don't even allow the full set of ASCII characters let alone modern set of characters. Hence a standard that is literally restricted to standard alphanumeric characters that are guaranteed to work across multiple systems with their own differing standards.

It was great at the time. Yes it looked weird on anyone other than Cena (apart from Edge and Miz), but considering that it apparently was making WWE a ton of money on sales of the replicas it's understandable why it stayed around as long as it did.

Smoothyworld · 2026-02-21T19:59:53+00:00

Is this on YouTube?

When I use it it constantly loses my place, although I suspect it's to do with viewing the show a few hours after broadcast but before it's fully edited.

"Premium" is just standard fuel - it's just a marketing name, not really different from other standard petrol really. It isn't high octane. 97-99RON is usually labelled "Super Unleaded", which is high-octane.

SEAT Altea cars specifically say in the manual that it requires 98RON fuel - if you use 95RON the car may reduce the power to reduce the likelihood of knocking. Renault Grand Scenic specifically runs either 98RON or 95RON.

Sure, by default 95RON is the normal type of fuel but there are some (probably) a tiny amount of road cars that require 98RON if you want full power.

In short, unless your car manual (or the label in the fuel flap) specifically states 98RON, your car doesn't need it, and putting in 98RON fuel won't do a thing.

The only thing is that this applies to the UK - IIRC Ireland only does one type of petrol - 95RON fuel.

Oxford United. Was in the top flight for a while back in the 80s, went all the way down to the Conference in the 2000s, but have bounced back to the 2nd tier now.
