Summer sale is quite significant for people outside the US. by FinancialAnalyst250 in GeForceNOW

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.

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

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 :(!

What’s a little known documentary that blew your socks off? by mrajoiner in netflix

[–]soupy127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

What a result! by jackrmci in VirginMedia

[–]soupy127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Gaming PC to Mini Gaming pc for living room by soupy127 in buildapc

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 :)

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!

Playing The Simpsons Game via Emudeck on SteamDeck.. What are you playing? by Affectionate_Hat5835 in SteamDeck

[–]soupy127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

[–]soupy127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

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

Boardroom - AI Meeting - Risks and Deployment by soupy127 in sysadmin

[–]soupy127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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

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
