ameen.

Sadly employee working conditions are awful wherever you look. Poverty wages mean even nurses have to rely on food banks to eat. Gig economy means people don't have the right to paid leave or maternity leave or (in the US) healthcare entitlement. Evil ideology from its roots.

I think the most in demand job market today is tech and information technology. There's a skills shortage in this job market. Software engineering is well paid as well and very sought-after skill. You don't need a computer science degree to get a job in software engineering, if you can prove that you've got the skills and can build applications then you'll get the job. There was one time when i really wanted to get into tech but nowadays I'm just happy with a job that pays the bills. Especially with the rise in cost of living.

I think the trick is to find a job that you enjoy doing and are passionate about and is well paid. If you can do that you are very lucky. Very lucky indeed.

I feel suspicious about something

I have nothing to support the suspicion though

Usually I'm right on the suspicion

Depends on what your suspicious about, a thing or a person. But remember Allah SWT says

Quran says: Believers, avoid much suspicion. Indeed, some suspicion is a sin (49: 12).

Yeh. Best to not entertain such thoughts. Leave it to Allah.

If you're usually right on such matters then don't ignore it as you could be on to something. Society often underestimates the power of a woman's intuition. I've noticed ever since I became ill, I feel 'vibes' far more strongly from people. We're taught to pay attention to what people say but actually they communicate far more in body language and non verbal cues and that can trigger our intuition that things are not as they seem.

Depending on the person, my advice would differ though. For example with my brother's ex, she was always suspicious minded and always seeing the worst in people- so she doesn't realise her intuition is paranoia and needs to be dialled back otherwise it'll destroy all your relationships and the people you have left in your life will have to walk over eggshells whenever they talk to you. <--- If that doesn't sound like you though- pay attention to your intuition cos it's usually right.

Bought XBOX

excited



im going to play n64, wii, gamecube, megadrive and psp games on it by unlocking dev mode and getting retroarch!

XBOX games will be an afterthought

How did that work out for you? I'm thinking of getting one for the same reason. Did you get the S or the X?

I hope she's recovering Insha Allah and ameen

Eh this is only half true imo, coming from someone who works in a related job.

Whilst it is true that there is a shortage, and plenty of jobs about, in reality employers are looking for skilled people with years of industrial experience, in very particular frameworks, work processes and technologies. "Building your own apps" rarely gives you the specific skill set you actually need, just tells the employer you might have some basic knowledge of a programming language.

Graduates/Non-graduate entry level people have a tough time finding a job in the industry. CS actually has the highest graduate unemployment rate, last I checked. There is only a shortage of people at the experienced and more senior levels.

Too many code monkeys, not enough actual engineers.

Thank you from someone who works in the industry. There is a lot of jobs available in the IT industry, but they want people with the right experience and qualifications. It is hard to break into IT for graduates for entry level jobs when they have no relevant experience.

I've been watching too many YouTube videos saying that you can break into entry level IT jobs without the experience. With software engineering I'm sure that if you can prove to the employer that you are proficient in coding in python or C# or JavaScript or any other programming language, even if you don't have a CS degree you can still get the job.

Your probably right about the too many code monkeys and not enough coding engineers.

Yes, and they take some beating, especially the Indians.

How did that work out for you? I'm thinking of getting one for the same reason. Did you get the S or the X?

Working out well. I got the S because I have a ps5 and saw no need to get an X. Just wanted a cheap emulator machine tbh. I didn’t even bother paying the few bob to get the dev mode. Still in retail mode and got retroarch, XBSX2, FTP etc. all set up.

Got loads of games, reliving my childhood. Games from megadrive, gamecube, ps1, GBA etc.

Still in the process of downloading a lot of ps2 games.

Games run well, with the exception of mario kart wii, which always crashes. Might be an issue with the dolphin core
