    Even Google couldn't crack the code. It depends a lot on the geography, preferences etc. 

     

    Gane streaming is a different kettle of fish. 

    Google is not as big in the cloud market as AWS/Azure. And when Stadia works, it works really well. Google's business model of subscription + full priced games is what crippled it the most. Stadia has shown that cloud gaming works (atleast for SP games) 

     

    If MS leverage Azure + GP properly and have a good price point, XCloud will work. They have GPU optimized VMs available already. Out of the 3 cloud giants, MS is best positioned because of Windows & Direct X.

    They would need to setup the servers somewhere close-by for that to work. I don't see that happening soon. But I hope that it does.

    If anyone can crack the cloud gaming code, its MS. They can leverage their already excellent Azure infrastructure and will not have other overheads like the OS/Direct X licensing.

  3. Honestly though, I have a few PS5 friends who are thinking of picking up the XSS while the XBL Gold stacking is still working. That way they can (almost) have the best of both worlds. I was one of the people who thought that Bethesda games might still be multi-plat. It makes financial sense to access the larger install base of the Sony consoles. Especially since it seems like the MS business model is more on moving the GPU subscriptions than actual hardware. 

     

    Its definitely a bold move to keep franchises like Elder Scrolls & FO exclusive to their eco-system. Sony has some great 1st party studios who will churn out amazing games, but FO & ES being exclusives is a loss for that platform. Skyrim, even in its broken state was well loved on the PS

    This coming on GP day one had me go OMG! 

    Same! and a pleasant surprise it has cross-platform!!! Was talking with friends and planning to pick it up on the PS5, but now I dont have to!!!

  5. Some great games coming to GP! I'm glad I decided to pick up both systems! This year seems to be a bit thin on the PS5 in terms of exclusives, and the XSX is making up for it! I was surprised at Back4Blood being day 1 GP! My friends and I were just talking about the next game we all can play together and it showed up on my radar! Was going to pick it up on the PS5, but so glad it has cross-play and I can use that money to buy another game!

     

    Cannot wait for Flight Sim 2020!!!

    But I can still finish the games locally on my current system right?!?

    Yup, there should not be any issue with games already downloaded and your locally saved game saves.

    But don't worry, account should be recovered once you prove your identity. Give it 48-72 hours, thats their usual turn around time

    If some loser would go to this extent just on some disagreement over entertaining devices 

     

    Then god be with him 

     

    anyway the UK Twitter handle didn’t help it just gave me a link to a bot which further gave me a link to UK helpline number 

     

    Have already used the Indian helpline number & submitted all the details asked for 

    let’s see 

     

    Just in case I don’t get access back 

    what happens to all the save files & trophies stored on my system associated with this account?!?

    They will be gone unfortunately. I was using a UK PSN account as primary since the PS3 days. At the time you couldn't change your country on your PSN account (not sure if you still can) but I had reached out to Sony to see if there was any way to transfer trophy data to my Indian account and they said no. For saves, I think you can copy them on a USB stick. I haven't tried transferring saves across accounts though, not even sure if it can be done.

     

    But you should be able to still play your games locally with the local save files.

    100% get pass changed and 2fa on  . your account is probably one of 100's sold online for cheap

    Has anyone faced this account hacking issue before 

     

    Sobbi msged me last night at 4am that he saw me online when I was not 

     

     

    What are the chances of account revival?!?

    I don't about PSN. But my Fifa account was hacked and EA recovered it for me along with coins based on "their valuation" of my team. I think if you are able to prove your identity, it should be recovered.

    Another thing to download for a Samsung phone. And honestly I forgot Google lens could do it until @KunjanPSD mentioned it lmao ??? I get a lot of addresses as photos , this would be a lot of help. 
    all I’m saying is having it right into the camera app makes it easier.

     

    You can use the smart select menu from the Samsung side bar. Its very good at extracting text from pictures. Samsung Camera app also has an automatic 'Text' mode to take sharper pictures of text which you can later extract using the smart select app. Not as elegant as the Google Camera app, but still works

  11. Our RWA did a vaxx drie over the weekend and included all the building housekeeping staff, maids, gaurds etc. I got mine via my company on Sat as well. Over all once it was a very smooth experience. Suffered from body pain & fever the 1st day, 2nd day was mainly just body pain, today only localized pain around the site....

    So guys wife has recovered from Covid and is now slowly gaining her strength back, thanks for all the good wishes.

     

    I also wanted to speak about how well BBMP was integrated and involved, the day she tested positive, I got at-least 5 calls to check on here. It was from BBMP central number, they asked me if I would want to go private or through government. If I opt for government, the entire treatment is free, if private then I need to pay for everything, and they will be available to help in case of Emergency. Then i got a call from  local ward, and then from panchayat. In the evening i got a call from two doctors to check on her and if I had any queries. This was next day followed by another doctor call and there on Automated calls everyday at 10 am with certain questions i had to answer. Based on my answers they decided if further action was needed or to continue in Home isolation.

     

    One day I missed the call, and I got call from local panchayat and also a Doctor to check if everything is OK. Local panchayat female even requested me to ask wife to take a selfie and send to her to make sure she is fine. After 11 days got a call from a doctor if everything was fine and they can mark her recovered. I am pleasantly surprised how well this was done, and how they kept sending me SMS with emergency numbers and what not. Yes the hospitals were overwhelmed and lack of resources were there, but things seems to be improving now.

     

    Where in we never let go of criticizing things not working, I am making this post to just also make people aware that things are happening at ground level, and I really appreciate the Karnataka Government for the same.

    I had a similar experience with BBMP when my wife had tested positive last year. Last year, since the case load was less, I used get 2 calls from the doctor daily, once in the morning and then once in the evening to make sure everything was OK. They had also offered to help with groceries etc, but our RWA is also very supportive and I did not need to step out of the house for anything.

     

    But yes, kudos to BBMP, they managed the whole thing very well and made me comfortable as well.

    All sellers are driving their price up due to lock down. Even the Viomi S9 which I bought is being sold for 52k. T8 was available for 40K including 5% Amazon Pay cashback on Apr 29th. I had placed the order but had to cancel due to a family emergency. Based on Keepa's tracking it was available in the same price bracket till May 10th. After that the sellers have been up marking it due to high demand. I expect the price to come down after the lock down.

     

     

    upto 45k is a decent time for this. 

     

    BTW, anyone is using automated curtains? I've tried to DIY it, but its too difficult to retro-fit curtain rods with a pulley & motor mechanism. I'm looking at Somfy for our house once we are close to possession. Need something which has APIs I can use to centralize it.... Hate to use different apps for different devices

    I think the T8 is at 55K now. That's a very suspicious sudden price increase :mellow:

    56k now... Not going for a robovac just yet. Wife still not convinced, and since her work load has reduced, she's finishing off the sweeping mopping. I'll keep an eye on it and buy it a the 44~46k mark in the next round of discounts.

    If you just want to build your portfolio then keep holding and buy on dips but remember in case you want to withdraw during an emergency/crisis the market & stocks might not be at your preferred position. I learnt this the hard way during 2008-9 slump when my portfolio profits was up by lakhs but then I had to exit at just about breakeven point during an emergency and hardly made a few thousand. That's why I keep cashing out at regular intervals now no what what stock it is. 

     

    Agree with Bajaj finance though. Even I'm waiting for 4600-700 levels to invest in it. 

    Yes, that is why I only invest funds into my portfolio which are out side of all the other savings and low risk investments (which can be tapped into in case of an emergency) I'm fairly new to trading and still in a process of building substantial. I'll still need to learn the market to anticipate the low points etc, once I'm more comfortable, your strategy will be helpful, but at the moment, my portfolio is not large enough (~20-25k in each of the above stocks)

    Your call.

     

    Personally If invested amount is big, book half. If small book full. Most of these Stocks esp ITC and reliance will give you opportunities to enter at lower levels again. I'm personally holding easymytrip even when it's up 55%. 

     

    Hold Britannia. 

    Invested amount is quite small. Was planning to top up at good entry points as and when they present themselves and plan was to hold for 3-5 years. I trade with funds I'm left with at the end of the month after all my expenses, MFs & other savings. 

    I'm wary about exiting Bajafinance, I had missed an earlier entry point and had to wait for a long time to enter at <4600, the rest I think I can exit

  17. I guess we can expect it to come to xbgp soon... I still think it looks like fun. Maybe just running through the story and avoid the side-quest padding would make it less repetitive. Skill-up has given a scathing review though.
