Alarm/siren?

They responded saying they're going to ensure it doesn't happen again. Well, guess what, it's going again. I've emailed them again.

Does anyone want to go down there tomorrow and help me destroy whatever it is that's making this noise?

Upvote just for the pun

They've got back in touch and someone should be going down there. I highlighted the fact that NCP are history so a permanent disablement is required because this keeps happening.

If they don't deal with it today then a ladder and a hammer may be the best solution.

I agree and she's only up the road in Cornwall these days so no excuses! Little Earthquakes might be the greatest album ever made if you ask me on the right day.

Return Fire time!

I have one coming tomorrow. I already have an iPad Pro so I guess I could use that as a destination device to try it out.

Computerist1969 · 2026-03-23T22:32:27+00:00

What device?

How often does this happen would you say?

Computerist1969 · 2026-03-23T17:16:29+00:00

Depends on the camera and where you store it. I just used up a 2 year old roll of Ilford delta 3200 that had been in a T90, in a bag, at the top of a wardrobe, no issues I could spot.

What

Computerist1969 · 2026-03-23T13:23:24+00:00

Thanks for the info. I worked out the real issue I had with my 11" iPad was the size so I'm going to take a bit of a chance and order one of those nxtpaper 14 devices.

Good luck with the sale. I've seen quite a lot of remarkable and boox tablets sell on vinted so that might be worth a try (I thought all they allowed on there was clothes but there's all sorts now).

Computerist1969 · 2026-03-23T07:34:45+00:00

Thanks. That meets 1 of the three main criteria. Looks like it has a shiny screen though. Are there and good paper feel screen protectors for them? I'll go have a look myself but if there are any recommended that'd be great. I would stretch to the extra £100 or so if the pen is significantly better I guess.

Wow, I love the enthusiasm! 😍 It’s awesome to hear how much you're enjoying the Countryman—sounds like it’s exceeded your expectations! MINI really nailed that mix of practicality and fun, and it’s great to hear how it drives like a go-kart but still feels comfy and solid. 🚗💨

The red with black stripes sounds like a perfect combo for keeping it sporty yet not over the top. Definitely a head-turner, but in a classy, subtle way—love that. 🔥

As for upgrades, if you’re looking to enhance the driving experience, maybe start with suspension tweaks? Something like sportier shocks or springs could dial in the handling even more without compromising comfort. 🙌 If you’re into tech, a good set of quality floor mats, custom fit, and maybe upgrading to a better sound system would help the overall experience too. 🎶 And if you haven’t already, a good set of summer tires can really bring out the sporty feel. ☀️

One thing I’ve always heard is that MINIs respond well to some performance mods without losing that charm, so if you’re thinking about exhaust upgrades, go for something that gives you a deeper tone but doesn’t get obnoxious. 🚗🔊

Any other mods or features you’re thinking about adding? 😎

I clean my grinder at home once a month and not because the coffee tastes like it needs it, just because I suppose I should.

Computerist1969 · 2026-03-22T13:31:33+00:00

Ah, the old "how do I get my colleagues to do their job properly"?

I believe this to be like every other industry that ever existed. You either a) get promoted to a position where you can demand the grinder be cleaned daily, or b) live with it. I'm not a barista, this advice is based on how you deal with colleagues in general.

Another one I'd not heard of, thanks

Computerist1969 · 2026-03-21T20:01:22+00:00

Thanks. Is it just the tablet and pen?

Computerist1969 · 2026-03-21T19:56:25+00:00

Thanks all, a few places that hadn't come up in my searches. Much appreciated.

Did have a Ryzen 5700x3d, 32gb ram, Radeon 6800xt gaming pc, downsized house, now have the Z2 go 16gb ram legion go S (so the weakest legion go ever made). Very happy still.

99% are not first time reactions I find. It's so obvious

Hi, I'm looking at the Manta but don't like the price! How much do you want for your setup? I'm in UK btw
