right! i am all right! so, i wanted to know who was stopping me from buying one of these for so long. this is jack, a scalp. he got into reselling years ago and made big money. for example, by flipping £150 shoes for up to £1000! is a former investment banker who used to make around 1500 quid a month, and he has given up the dayjob. why? because since setting up aftermarket arbitrators reselling company 18 months ago, he claimed that he has made a56 thousand pounds in revenue in subscriptions alone. he helps others resell with a plethora of channels stuck with information, tutorials and advice on the social platform

discord, which people pay a £30 a month subscription to be a part of. it provides notification to 1200 paying followers when a rare item is suddenly in stock, and he can even auto buy if the by —— but are powerful enough. with so many subscribers, you can see why scalping may be on the rise. however, these bots are not easy to maintain.- not easy to maintain. when i first started, _ not easy to maintain. when i first started, there _ not easy to maintain. when i first started, there was - not easy to maintain. when i i first started, there was maybe three bots, and now there are hundreds. a lot of the bots have been developed are already young entrepreneurs that make a lot of money producing software. it gets very expensive. we do that, we handle everything and then you to sit back and wait for your success e—mail. to sit back and wait for your success e-mail._ to sit back and wait for your success e-mail. one of the get exnensive _ success e-mail. one of the get exnensive to — success e-mail. one of the get expensive to run _ success e-mail. one of the get expensive to run about? - success e-mail. one of the get l expensive to run about? because this is where _ expensive to run about? because this is where website _ expensive to run about? because this is where website will - expensive to run about? because this is where website will have i this is where website will have protection on a website. we had to use a lot of properties. 5o to use a lot of properties. so you want 100 pairs of trainers for one bot and you are on one

ip, for one bot and you are on one if, the for one bot and you are on one ip, the website you are trying to buy the shoes from, they will know you are bombarding the servers and it is not physically possible that there is 100 people trying to get that at the basket. what the bot will do is you buy proxies and it is i'm the one proxy to one task. it looks like there's 100 tasks are in 100 different locations by one person. so it means that it looks legitimate. yeah. and it wasn'tjust consoles stop they scalp seasonal gifts during christmas, outdoorfurniture and swimming pools during summer. they were involved in pretty much everything. but no doubt it was his a lot that were buying up p55. i put it to him, how this caused problems for so many. him, how this caused problems for so many-— for so many. isn't that creating _ for so many. isn't that creating unfair - for so many. isn't that - creating unfair competition? yeah, it is, but if you look at any marketplace and anywhere where you see supply and demand issue, you will see people exploiting that. if there is an

into scalping not for greed. i spoke to a few of them. there was one who had a gambling debt of 30,000 that he cleared away with the money earned. another who used it to restructure his life and step away from alcoholism. but because of what happened with jack, they didn't want to be filmed in fear of their safety. there was one who was comfortable enough to be on camera. hello. can you clap? got a long-standing _ hello. can you clap? got a long-standing medical- hello. can you clap? got a i long-standing medical issue. as long—standing medical issue. as a result, it got me into quite a result, it got me into quite a lot of debt. i reckon about £50,000. wife unfortunately £50 , 000. wife unfortunately lost £50,000. wife unfortunately lost her work as a beautician so that put a further strain. i had to think of what other things we could do. so i looked into reselling. i was doing it forfamily and friends,

comfortable to use over periods of time because it is not actually that heavy. gaming on pc relies on keyboard and mouse, which offers you an enormous amount of options. on a hand—held you don't have the same kind of real estate, but the steam deck does have a plethora of control options. touchpads, depay, triggers, letter a, touchpads, depay, triggers, lettera, b, x,y, and group buttons underneath, all of them combined to make a pc gaming experience on the move work. there were thing about playing a game when you are so used to laying on keyboard and mouse is that with a controller in this kind of set up it is not quite as comfortable, but the touch pad here is really making up for that lack of mouse. the big advantage that this machine has over most new devices is its enormous library of games. most have to rely _

concerned. but as previous forays into hardware haven't always enjoyed the same success as its games. always enjoyed the same success as its games-— as its games. they have had a disastrous _ as its games. they have had a disastrous time. _ as its games. they have had a disastrous time. they - as its games. they have had a disastrous time. they had i as its games. they have had a disastrous time. they had the | disastrous time. they had the machines that were jumped pcs didn't really have any benefit, they lost a bunch of money on vr headsets.— they lost a bunch of money on vr headsets. there was trying to make a _ vr headsets. there was trying to make a mouse _ vr headsets. there was trying to make a mouse into - vr headsets. there was trying to make a mouse into a i to make a mouse into a controller, which is very confusing and not that successful, but with this it is sort — successful, but with this it is sort of— successful, but with this it is sort of presenting its own version _ sort of presenting its own version of the switch. how do ou see version of the switch. how do you see the — version of the switch. how do you see the life-cycle - version of the switch. how do you see the life-cycle for i version of the switch. how do you see the life-cycle for the | you see the life—cycle for the steam deck, will it be like a console where you change the machine every five years or will it be more like a pc where you upgrade over the course of the machine's life?— you upgrade over the course of the machine's life? very much a pc and we _ the machine's life? very much a pc and we approach _ the machine's life? very much a pc and we approach it _ the machine's life? very much a pc and we approach it like i the machine's life? very much a pc and we approach it like a i pc and we approach it like a pc, some of the benefits you get by having a fixed hardware dougie donnelly console market don't really translate to the traditional pc space, also starting to look at mobile specific opportunities to expand the pc gaming space, if you look at something like pokemon go, it really has no

analogue any desktop computer, the whole point of it is to be out and about. so the next days for us, what are the mobile specific opportunities? the steam deck _ specific opportunities? the steam deck isn't _ specific opportunities? the steam deck isn't perfect, the device itself is lacking that premium deal, the plastics feels a little bit low income earners i said, battery life can be variable. there are other hand—held pcs out there, but in terms of specification they all cost quite a bit more than this does. pc gaming has enjoyed several console lifecycles and will no doubt evolve beyond the current console state—of—the—art. let's see if hand—held pc devices like this one are a new evolutionary branch to the long—standing pc story. that was marked with the new steam deck. that was marked with the new steam deck-— that was marked with the new steam deck. now, it is oscar's season and _ steam deck. now, it is oscar's season and every _ steam deck. now, it is oscar's season and every year - steam deck. now, it is oscar's season and every year we i steam deck. now, it is oscar's season and every year we like | season and every year we like to look at contenders in the best visual effects category. last we get was the new matrix film. ~ ., , ., last we get was the new matrix film. ~ . y ., ~ last we get was the new matrix film. . ., ,, ~ .,

will be the further east you are, but notice this sort of curl of rain here, this is a low pressure that's swinging into the south—west of the uk — not only rain, but also some very strong winds. we're talking of gusts of 50—60, maybe even 70 mph, so really quite stormy around some of the coasts for a time, but we are only talking about the tip of cornwall, perhaps devon, maybe southern parts of wales — so not widespread gales, but very, very windy indeed, so take it steady if you are across this part of the world through saturday and saturday night. elsewhere, it won't be quite so windy. now let's have a look at sunday's weather map. low pressure just off the coast of scotland there, but pretty much dominating the weather across the uk. so this is early sunday. you can see a weather front curling into this area of low pressure, outbreaks of rain, sunny spells and a mixture of showers in the afternoon. it's going to be that changeable day, and very gusty winds right across the country, we're talking 30—a0, maybe even 50 mph around some exposed coasts. so on saturday, the winds will be strong here, on sunday, it will be blustery right across the uk. temperatures on sunday typically between 10—12 celsius. not as mild as it's been, but, you know, mild enough. monday, a much better day. the winds will be lighter, there will be more sunshine around, still some

showers across northern parts of the country, but in the south, it really is an improving picture. and that's how it's going to be over the next few days into next week. in fact, in the south of the country, temperatures could even peak at around about 17—18 celsius. so a mixed weekend and then better the week ahead. bye— bye.
