This week has there been a mass 'unfreeze' of hiring? I am getting replies to job offers submitted months ago and recruiters are reaching out. Of course it could amount to nothing but there has been a notable shift.

I'll take a look at SRE. I kind of do that anyway with the testing background. Location wise I have always moved about. IR35 plays a massive factor on hotel costs. I do take your point on roles, having no heating / hot water tends to act as a requirement :D (Though not for me).

This has been a great read, thanks. It has confirmed my findings for finding Test automation / devops contracts. The market is beyond bad for work. A bit stuck as I can't walk otherwise I would retrain as a plumber (in the family). I am considering abandoning tech and doing something else.

So.... is not getting a cheap global android and hotspotting not an option? Or using an old phone as a hotspot?

There are many things that make it a poor film. When not good enough to go straight to DVD, put it on streaming :D

Hi all, got a few questions on 3d printers. I am looking at a printer to put together prototypes and quick ideas. Alas I do not have huge amounts of time to mess with printer configuration, so I am drawn to the Prusa range with the auto levelling. Thus maximising design time. Many moons ago I...

A lot of them went under with covid. The rest had their entire portfolio's purchased, thus individuals were booted when there was institutional money flying about. Barely doing it now. Ratesetter, Zopa, Growth street all gone.

Has anyone used night driving glasses before? If so what are your experience of them? I am tempted to get a pair to see if they help. Even yellow tinted is a mixed bag of reviews!

Just something to add, have you used Amazon Turk for tagging these images https://www.mturk.com Training AI by getting the initial parsing of data on images appears to be one of the jobs it caters for.

Pretty much my thoughts. It filled some time but on the whole I have zero desire to watch it again.

With these you can get a BBC monitor and modify the cable to get colour screen

I am looking to get one of these:- https://www.overclockers.co.uk/silverstone-sugo-sg11b-usb3.0-chassis-black-ca-408-sv.html I have an older 2700X cpu. There are lots of options but what is recommended cooling in this setup? I do not have tools with me to mod the case, either a slim Noctua or...

Anyone caught the new Gits SAC which is on Netflix? Personally it felt rather cut down in the complexity of the story compared to old series. Not a fan of the animation, it was really jarring in my eyes at some points. 12 part season 1.

This is a good point, but it is not what is keeping @fiveub up at night........ 'If he is doing all this for a ~£300 chair ........ what is he going to do for an ocuk pc rig?' :eek:

Have you been upto anything recently? :)

I've had one where they are referring to the new FCA conduct regs? Not really invested with them now anyway. Having a wind-down agreement is mandated by FCA.

Landbay has just closed up shop for retail customers. Seems a lot of corporate money has been flying about. I would have put them down as one of the safer ones.

Just to add I fell over and cracked the bone in the same place as your break. I was out of action for a similar amount of time. Get on the phone to your local cricket team and ask who their physio is. Go and see him asap for advice. The one in Chelmsford was £30-35 /hr. These guys deal with...

I've got a couple of Vanguard investments on the go. However I think you should look up what is happening in the global economy before going too hard in s&s. Especially on the bond and credit markets. If you have and are happy with the risks then go for it.

Shoutcast is normally a good recommendation. Hailing from Winamp days. There are loads of stations, both with and without dj's. Go there and have a look about.
