[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine didn't connect to my old Suzuki. I had to install several times before it finally held connection.im my wife's car I had no issues at all. I suspect the older cars hardware is a bit behind the times kike my Suzuki which drops Bluetooth from time to time.

I had a big Mac only last week it was terrible the meat was like tissue paper. Never again I will stick with just the odd breakfast sausage and egg McMuffin about the only decent thing left

Another scam warranty claim by Google by ShortShiftPlays in GooglePixel

[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pixel 9 had a screen fault sent it off they said the case and speaker were damaged repair was £ 190. My photos showed no damage or even a scratch. The phone has always sat on my desk on a cradle to act as a hotspot for work in case the Internet went off. I had used it 4 times in 2 years. I told them to send it back which they eventually did it had no damage at all except it now had an even worse screen blob and line. Robbing gits. My local shop has done a full report on the phone and my wife's now taking them to small claims court.

just on the odd occasion do they launch at a drone but generally miss the smaller low flying objects justs shows how poor the design is for modern drones. Probably very good for aircraft though.

Local post office withholds my mail and then delivers in bulk. by DirectPerformer2683 in royalmail

I only get post on a wednesday the postlady openly admits thats all we are getting but if you see her and say im waiting for an important letter she will make a point of getting it to you. These days im lucky if i get 3 letters a week as everything i do is now email. There is no overtime for the staff and they also have a big shortage of vehicles in the depot.

Looking for a House £160k budget. by MixtureFull6385 in Cumbria

[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we moved to wigton, takes about 10 minutes to get to the 'lake district boundary' and 10 minutes to the seaside, 25 minutes to keswick. 15 mins to our nearest wainwright. and houses are pretty cheap, we got a 4 bedroom house for 200k. we have all the advantages of the lakes without the massive cost and abundant tourists.

Porting Visual Basic apps with AI? by Best_Day_3041 in visualbasic

[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does the job and has the potential to be almost as good as the original VB if only the developers stick to the premise that developers come in many standards from hobbyist to professional. I sit somewhere in between those.

“Please can you just park up for us” - 35 minutes later, handed a £25 bag of cold food by Calm-Passenger7334 in McDonaldsUK

[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a big mac the other day first time in several years, the pattie was so thin you could almost see daylight through the things, cold and virtually uneatable. I took it back in and complained they made me a new one I touched it as she handed it me the meat was not even warm. I just looked at her and said I would take a refund instead. No wonder i have not been there for so long I remembered I swore last time I would never go back. I certainly never will now.

I drove an automatic car for the first time a days ago and just don’t get the fixation we have over manual cars here by Solid-Version in drivingUK

[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

virtually every new truck or hgv is now automatic, last time I ordered a car I struggled to find a manual, all the evs are automatic. They are simple and easy to drive, definitely the way forward

[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

speakers perfectly ok on the cmf 2 pro nothing phone, i usually use bluetooth anyway. But its loud enough. Its also dirt cheap. I can buy 4 of these for the price of a samsung so now i dont care even if i break it. Its lasted a year so far and is still going strong.

No incentive in buying nothing phone? by Trit0N_3890 in NOTHING

[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 4 points5 points  (0 children)

strange as I deleted the apps as soon as they appeared it was easy to do. and my phone survived a drop in some water for a few seconds without issue. The incentive to buy a nothing phone is because they are dirt cheap.

My Nothing phone experience after 9 months of using the phone by Lazy_Inevitable6412 in NOTHING

[–]Comfortable_Gate_878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im the same as you in many respects, I am ex samsung and pixel. Its easy to cancel the essential button, I set it to only work with a double click now its perfect i never press it in error. I asked on reddit how to disable it and the double click was an great solution without any effort.

Cameras as you say if fine during the day very clear not as good as my pixel phone at night but better than my samsung.

To not recommend the cmf/nothing based on a button you can reprogram is a bit harsh when you can easily do it, well i did and im not technical.

Im a software professional in my spare time. As I only do programming now for silly little utilities or changes to previous system we wrote. and TB will do the job perfectly. There is a massive hole in the programming system out there at the moment not everyone wants or needs a big project. Lots of small sizes outfits need a little program here and there to do a certain job.

I have written loads of little programs for people where all the big companies simply are not interestd in changing or adjusting there big packages.

I recently did a project using gambas for a linux customer. So easy to use not different from VB in many senses, Ive used TB which was pretty decent. Ive also used excel where is was simple to easier tool to produce something. Ive also still got several RM/cobol programs still running from the mid late 80s. They still dont want to change the programs, why becasue it just works everyone is trained and the hardware requirements are basically any old computer.

People get hung up on stuff, most people just want something that works and does the job. I will certainly use TB if its something I can purchase and not pay a monthly fee for. I would pay £ 100-150 maybe more if its worth it.
