ShopTo Forum Post

Seems to be nothing to worry about.

That seems to be silly, they should be addressing the problem.. It doesn't pop up with errors for nothing. In fact it is still saying the SSL stuff is expired as it told me this a couple hours ago. I would have thought they would've fixed it by now!

I am sorry but Shopto support is rubbish. They don't seem to address anything. Just take the quiet way out.

Edit - just read their response, telling us its nothing really is treating us like idiots!

Oh well, is there any deals on Valkyria Chronicles?

Quidco for play will give you another ?10 off also I think, and here is the 5% off code.

Nope, Quidco will give you 1% on Console Purchases so that would be only ?2.49, though if you take off 5% before Quidco tracks you would only get ?2.30 off Quidco.

Got to love the whole 1% saving from Quidc:laugh:gh:

Seriously, ?2.49 saved on a console purchase? I just bought 8

OK would you prefer a kick in the teeth? I mean if your going to buy one anyway that's a pint and a bag of crisps. If it takes an extra 5 minutes that's 2.49 for 5 minutes work which is the equivalent to a job that pays ?30 an hour.

Yeah, if I was homeless and was begging all day long, I might care about 2.49.

Oh and what does having my teeth kicked in have to do with anything?

Amazon have a bit of a stock clearance going on:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PLAYSTATION-3...bin%3A671473011

Most notable deals are:

Fear 2: Project Origin (PS3)

Was ?39.99, Now ?17.99

Soul Calibur IV (PS3)

Was ?29.99, Now ?14.95

Yeah, if I was homeless and was begging all day long, I might care about 2.49.

Oh and what does having my teeth kicked in have to do with anything?

Can I have ?2.49 please and anyway if you use Quidco for everything you buy online it soon ads up to a much larger sum.

Anyone know the cheapest place to get Ferrari Challenge? I really want to get it now after playing the Supercar Challenge beta. The best price I've seen so far is ?16.99 at ShopTo. GAME have it a pound more and it's out of stock, and Play.com don't have it at all themselves; it's only up on PlayTrade, and it starts at nearly ?20 there.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
