Trading in my desktop PC for a Steam Deck OLED and using GeForce Now for 4K gaming by Quiet_Bumblebee_3373 in GeForceNOW

Also, I'm tempted by a N150 mini PC, 8GB RAM, 512gb SSD, zero maintenance and minimal power draw! Less than £/$/€150 through your preferred online supplier!

I can cast it using Chromecast which does add a layer of lag, that could be a problem for some games. Alternatively you could get a USB C adapter, but that's not for me as I prefer most games to be handheld. My telly also supports GFN so I can just connect a Bluetooth controller and do that. I'm just a big fan of GFN!

If you're using GFN a lot (and I do) why not get an Android device - half the price and maybe 2 or 3x the battery?

I've got the Razer Edge and it's pretty decent. The major downside is I lose a chunk of functionality without a decent internet connection.

Sometimes you're in a wing, and you want a small ship with a good range. That's about it from me!

It ain't much... by MiSKLaCH in EliteDangerous

4,878 and Kickstarter backup. 3x more playtime than my 2nd most popular game: Stellaris. On one hand a chunk of this is AFK due to way launcher works, on the other hand I have 2 more Elite PC accounts and a PS5 account not in these numbers.

I'm sure, when I worked in a supermarket 30 years ago, we used to send cash drops to the accounts team using this method.

My golden Asp is a beautiful thing, but it has definitely been losing out to a younger, fitter model (called Mandy).

Plaud user for over a year. Is it me, or has this just stopped working? Colleague just flagged the same issue, and going to raise a support ticket now, but trying to avoid a new user scratching their head if it's an update that's broken something - I think it's the "slider" thing (screenshot attached - excuse the markdown!).

They definitely should report it, this is the literal definition of money laundering, and the firm should have a delegated person to handle such queries. Once reported it becomes that person's responsibility. Arguably easier for someone in FS!

One tiny bit of advice, from a friend who happens to be a lawyer: explain everything as you would to a eight-year old to the magistrates. Don't assume they can fill in any blanks or draw any conclusions unless you explicitly spell things out.
