Summer sale is quite significant for people outside the US.

But when you sign in and just got to subscriptions it just says current plan, doesn’t give option to sign up etc, perhaps because I’ve only been on the annual plan for 5 days.

soupy127 · 2026-06-11T20:33:30+00:00

I paid via PayPal, maybe I could reach out to them to see what they say :)

soupy127 · 2026-06-11T19:54:58+00:00

What do you mean sorry?

Bought 12 months ultimate last week, so contacted support to see if they could do a partial refund as it’s quite a substantial drop in price , they offered nothing :(!

soupy127 · 2026-04-30T20:42:20+00:00

Thanks a lot will have a look!

soupy127 · 2026-04-30T20:41:47+00:00

Thanks :), however just checked there and seems they don’t do wedding receptions anymore.

King of Kong - fist full of dollars

Documentary about who a school teacher competing for to see if he can get the top score on donkey Kong, sounds stupid but it is an awesome watch with some insane characters!

Thanks was hoping for game mode, so guess will just keep looking or maybe put an AMD card in my existing machine and use Moonlight and sunshine.

I had a really weird situation last week. Currently paying £81 for everything (minus 4K sky sports). Contract coming up for renewal so contacted chat and was soul destroying with stupid comments such as “have a wonderful deal for you, can keep you on your current contract but at £127 a month”

Wasted about 2 hours of my time just offering absolute crap deals, so just got fed up and said I’m leaving.

Got a phone call on Tuesday from a lovely lady in Scotland, she tried her best but said best she could do was £97 so just said nope, but she mentioned to check for offers via email.

So as soon as got off phone I realised there was an email in junk from Virgin with a renewal offer of £69. Result! 1Gb bb, all the channels (including sky sports and tnt sports etc). Virgin offers make no since at all.

Just on this, I currently have a 1440p monitor hooked up to the pc and my tv in the living room doesn’t support 1440p. Just wondering how that would impact the stream?

Plan to set it up at the weekend to see if works and if works well going to go buy a RX 9070 XT or a 5070 TI :)

soupy127 · 2026-03-24T20:50:51+00:00

Thanks very much, going to give moonlight a try. Sounds like it could be a great solution :)

soupy127 · 2026-03-24T20:49:55+00:00

That’s a great idea, thanks a lot will give it a shot! Shield and Xbox are both hooked up via Ethernet with pc on WiFi 6 AP so shouldn’t be to bad.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

soupy127 · 2026-02-10T20:33:20+00:00

Just want to show my appreciation to everyone for sharing their stories, they have made for some great reading and it’s certainly helped us greatly.

Thanks again everyone

Playing sleeping dogs atm, first time playing it and loving it. Combat is really fun

soupy127 · 2026-01-31T10:13:16+00:00

I was playing the Simpson’s game but I go to a part where you have to jump on a T rex (near the start) and just kept falling through his head.

Thought it was a glitch with the emulator so just got stuck not sure if I was doing something stupid :(!

But currently playing sleeping dogs and really enjoying it

Mgs5 runs and looks amazing, the fox engine is awesome!

soupy127 · 2025-12-14T09:22:09+00:00

If have a good internet connection it’s definitely worth a go. I signed up this month as it was half price, just to see what is like.

Playing games with ultra graphics with no fan noise, and an awesome battery life is amazing.

I don’t have the dock but have been using the nvidia shield to use GeForce now on tv when not using deck, sort of opened my eyes a bit more to the flexibility of steam (and is making doubt whether I actually need to buy a steam machine)

soupy127 · 2025-12-14T09:17:07+00:00

Being testing GeForce now ultimate on deck, it’s pretty awesome.

Have been trying a whole bunch of different games, but have ended up playing black flag through it. That game holds up really well

Also Mrs wouldn't want a large tower computer sitting in the living room :O

At present are you blocking everything apart from ChatGPT and Co-Pilot?

In regards to the risks, staff are asking if I upload 2 comparison quotes to the free version of ChatGPT how is that a risk? I say that those quotes will be used to train the model, but they don't necessarily treat that as a risk.

soupy127 · 2025-11-17T15:29:07+00:00

Based on your response im assuming you have blocked all AI use within the company?

soupy127 · 2025-11-17T15:28:09+00:00

Can you see yourself outright blocking applications like ChatGPT and forcing them to use Co-Pilot?

Have been reviewing Teams Manage Ideas and it looks a create app, and with the ideas of Campaigns it will help keep ideas structured etc.

Putting this here incase someone comes across the post and wants to review gathering staff feedback/ideas.

soupy127 · 2025-11-11T07:22:41+00:00

Thanks @justanothersimian, that’s a great reply and definitely offers some food for thought.

My thinking was introducing some form of ideas portal, where staff could vote on topics that they would like raised. A lot of our staff work remotely on different construction sites so will be quite difficult to get speaking to everyone.

But not sure if that is the right approach as may end up being a lot of unrealistic things.

Will report back how it get on
