    Career guidance/advice for adults?

    I am in a similar situation, 40 in April. Although slightly different circumstances (Redundancy after 20 years in telecoms last July) Retrained in IT via self study of CompTIA A+ and Network+, just starting in March as a trainee IT support technician. It is a rather large drop in pay, but that's...

    Need inspiration for a job!

    Well another update. It was quiet over Christmas and New Year. Applied for around 25-30 jobs just after new year. Didn't think I'd hear much in all honesty. However I ended up with around 10 of them ask for interviews/team calls etc. I went to my first face to face on 8th Feb, and was offered...

    Could always ring your local vets/wherever you take Ron etc, see what they say. If he isn't too stressed about going in a carry box, there'd be no harm in just taking him to get scanned if you suspect he's actually lost/stray/being neglected etc.

    :D The new Army General mode is still in its infancy at the moment. There is a play through on youtube here -

    Broken Arrow

    It will have once finished. Similar to their Wargame series of games. In its current state it has skirmish battles against AI or multiplayer. 2 game modes - One is basically hold areas to accumulate deployment points and the other is rack up points by destroying more stuff than your opponent...

    Broken Arrow

    It's definitely worth a go. It seems to get updated quite regularly during its early access, and it's keeping the itch scratched waiting for Broken Arrow :D

    Broken Arrow

    Have you played Warno? That's similar to Broken Arrow albeit slightly earlier timeline.

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Nothing really - Until I can get a minimum of 50% performance upgrade at the £650 price I paid for my 3080, I won't be budging. I'll wait to see what the next generation of GPU's will do. Hopefully by then, whichever card comes in at around £650 will be at least 50% faster, maybe more.

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    I stopped for now as I needed to concentrate on passing some IT certifications to try get myself back in work after "voluntary" redundancy! I compled the first province area. Does it get better as it goes on? It was a little on the slow side.

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    I don't think the series S holds back development of series X. It's not like having to support last gen consoles in the sense that they had different hardware architecture. The series S has the same architecture as in the series X, just at a lower performance target i.e. series x tends to to...

    Need inspiration for a job!

    Cheers! Hopefully not too much longer though, my redundancy payment will only last so long! :p Will now start applying to jobs as they come up and look at doing some more smaller, specialised certs, possibly for AWS/Azure. I had seen some apprentice roles advertised, which would be ideal...

    Need inspiration for a job!

    Well the free Network+ etc exam wasn't due to start until well into next year, so I decided to have a go myself and use the same learning methods I used on the A+ exam. Happy to say I passed my Network+ today. Hopefully this will go at least some way to proving to a potential employer that I'm...

    I stopped insuring ours after a couple of years of them both being diagnosed with diabetes. Unfortunately I didn't research the insurance properly and took out one with a £5000 limit per condition, which ran out after a couple of years with the diabetes costs. The insurance company then...

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    I've completed the first area now. As you say the traversal is a bit slow but I've been spending knowledge points on running speed and stamina to try and extend time between having to rest at camp. I haven't got a cook amongst my group yet so I may look at that to help with food situation. At...

    Ah gutting. I'd have jumped at the chance to take them off you as we lost our 2 cats 2 years ago, but alas, we wouldn't be able to give them the time and love they deserve at the moment due to too many things going on at home (health, recent redundancy etc) :(

    Have you tried a place called "all for the love of paws" ? (Based in west mids) I've used them myself, was going to have a couple of rescues from them a year or so ago but had to back out due to family illness so couldn't commit the time to taking on pets.

    Yeah, it's a little slow, especially to begin with, and there isn't really a tutorial, so I've been having to google some bits. However I am enjoying it so far.
