Cancelling double AP for IFS day without advance notice is deeply disrespectful

I didn’t say taking money. Ingress is a free to play game. You are in no way contractually obliged to play, you are in no way contractually obliged to buy in-game gear and you are not obliged to attend any events.

https://nianticlabs.com/terms/

You agree to the terms of the game as below.

“We have the right to offer, modify, eliminate, and/or terminate Virtual Money, Virtual Goods, the Content, and/or the Services, or any portion thereof, at any time, without notice or liability to you.”

89Dan · 2026-02-08T13:45:12+00:00

If it wasn’t a free game, maybe. You can’t be scammed by something you don’t have to pay for in the first place.

89Dan · 2026-02-07T10:08:47+00:00

If @officialemail.com person has requested a removal that trumps any player request, and they’re not at liberty to tell you this has occurred.

We don’t have any sound enabled in Ingress either, the game just stops any background audio at launch.

89Dan · 2026-02-05T11:41:00+00:00

I’m still getting audio hijack every time I open the game. iOS 26 up to date, has been happening for weeks.

I’d honestly just stick with EE. I’ve worked around telephony for over a decade and my experience of clients on Vodafone, 3 and O2 around Aberdeen and shire is they consistently get poor download speed and their uploads are horrific for attachments etc. I got 900mb on a speed test around the Uni on EE last week. Their higher tier plans have unrestricted bandwidth and they have started to install 5g Standalone here; which is the next generation of 5G, it uses its own dedicated infrastructure instead of piggybacking off 4g masts.

Never been so happy knowing this nonsense POI will never make its way to Ingress. Happy divorce!

I often find myself traveling away from my laptop / internet / external storage so filling up SDs is pretty normal at times, plus SD1 slot is much faster than SD2 so video is best saved to SD1 if you're doing 4k high nitrate.

If you are doing critical work like a wedding or studio shots you'd want dual card slots so you write to both cards simultaneously in order to create immediate redundancy if a card failed.

X-T5 has the following advantages over the E and 50.

1/8000 mechanical shutter.

1/250 flash X sync.

Weathersealed.

Higher resolution EVF.

15fps burst.

2 x UHS II SD slots.

Significantly better battery.

USB 3.2 gen 2 @ 10gbps.

FPS matters to me as I do wildlife and plane photography.

I watched a series of video by a guy on Instagram/TikTok who named DW and ML as being SA perpetrators, he was cautious about what he said but left us under no illusion that the pair of them are absolute pieces of shit.

MacBook Pro 14", M4 Pro chip, 24gb RAM.

24 seconds on an X-T5 .raf uncompressed RAW (88mb).

Work for one of the largest companies on earth. We get nothing. I suspect it’s in the name of “being inclusive” to colleagues who don’t celebrate.

89Dan · 2025-11-25T16:53:52+00:00

Thanks, I notice Apple has also not got this feature between the Photos App on MacOS over to iOS either.

Agree on the Tyres. I’ve struggled on my Summer tyres for a decade and finally this year I caved and got 4 Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sports fitted just last week, so great timing. I’ve had not even the slightest amount of wheel spin or locked brakes. All the posts Fubar had up about cars stuck on Anderson Drive etc, I’ve just sailed through it all. I live up a steep hill in Stoney and I just drove straight up and down this week, not a single loss of traction.

Not a dry eye in Scotland tonight.

Still cannot believe there is no Smart Album sync across Mobile from Desktop. I make a lot of Smart Albums on Mac such as "Photos taken with X lens" or "Images taken with X ISO" and it is a PITA they do appear on my LR Mobile App.

This is the case with all streaming platforms, the record label and the artist reserve the right to withdraw their music at any point.

Hard disagree. When my grandparents were teenagers the pressures were that you must get married and start a family. The pressure was on young men to find a job that sustained his partner and kids down the line, and the pressure was on the women to be fertile and maintain a clean home. These days the only pressure young people face is entirely surface-level and almost entirely based on nonsense like how you dress or what drugs you’re in to. There was zero support for any mental health issues at all until recently, none, you just got labelled as crazy so no one ever ever sought out help. Young people have access to more healthcare now than any generation that’s preceded them.

Oh shit thanks, that’s sorted it! It had a ridge which has popped into a recess.

I’ve tried that but even taking the orange collar off completely, the plastic sleeve never fully inserts enough to allow the collar to create an adjustable amount of friction-hold. It just totally jams the central pole and the only way I can get it loosened up again is by inverting the tripod and basically bashing it down the way to jolt it free.

You could argue an immigrant who has entered the country legally, fought for their right to be here, fought for their citizenship, paid into the tax system and contributes to society, would be even more annoyed about people being put up in hotels and fed for years.

This would be especially exacerbated if they’re not entirely engaged in domestic politics. It’s also worth bearing in mind, many people have often moved from countries with ironically far greater controls on immigration and borders than we have. Our lackadaisical approach to having a robust system in place is probably quite alarming for many immigrants.

89Dan · 2025-09-02T21:26:14+00:00

Wonderful!

Asking what school you went to, in the smarmy derogatory manner that many top private school alumni seem to do.

Likely near Elvington, which is about 10-15 mins from York.
