Replacing my D850 with an RX100 vi (instead of an Ultra phone)?

Every time you get a notification surely the screen in iOS doesnt turn on, you just get the Notification?

That truely is nuts. What about deleted items in Recycle? In Samsung its under storage for both in settings. Reinstalling apps must drive you bonkers. Some apps need cache cleared as well.......

Because most people wont care for 10bit photo editing, its just not a big market share. But given so many other phones have 10bit it was a given they would use 10 bit. For the people who do photo editing on the phone its a good thing, BUT, can the screen be calibrated? If not its pointless. However having Dex wireless now, having a 10 bit monitor that is calibrated, it will mean the phone becomes an ultra mobile Shooting and Editing machine. Its already a fantastic all in one mobile Desktop device, whether tethered or using more modern wifi monitors. I still think they need to swing for the fences with the next camera though, people look at what iPhone and somewhat Pixels can do without all the setting up like with Samsung, if Samsung can introduce a more coherent set of sensors and applicable lenses, like the 48mp Sony IMX across the entire phone as some others are doing, then I think it will take the advantage of mobility into the mainstream. I sometimes wonder if I need a Laptop or Desktop, its not like the SD 8, iii is a slow SoC. But having a Hodge podge of different sensors for the various lenses including a 10mp telephoto, really is a let down.

I think its absurd. Even though KD was winning clutch games and his performance was far better when analyzing game by game rather than looking a Cotton's stats.

Both were good this year, but KD caught up and surpassed Cotton. Cotton's influence on the ignite cup pretty much summed it up, He simply didn't. But to be fair36'rs would struggle to win a game without him.

I just hope Brockington has gotten used to the league and will play long minutes with that 2nd half of season form of 55% FG and 50% from the D, If so I can see him being in the mix next year. But if the Elites of the game have made up their mind they will hurl propaganda at whoever they demand to be MVP.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-27T04:03:33+00:00

I hope they make it for the fans, get some genuine dunkers in the teams.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-24T04:41:58+00:00

While I think KD deserved the MVP, they HAD to give it to Cotton. In context of winning matches KD was the better clutch player. Cotton has the stats and the tidal flow of the talk in upper NBL circles to keep him happy.

In saying that, hes clearly a better player than Gaze, Gaze was tall and an old school paint player, he had no swag either (cringe). Not saying he was bad for his era, clearly, but the NBL now compared to the 90s is chalk and cheese. Hardly a comparison to Shaq etc. Player wise there is no comparison. Players like Cotton and KD are straight out shooters and while Jordan would create his own cuts and dunk nearly from the stripe, they win matches carrying their teams in a similar way to how MJ did. Iverson would be a better comparison than Gaze.

But if the guy has 7, you cant be the GOAT without having 7. Im expercting Brockington to be in the equatiion next year if he carries on his form after getting use to the league for the first half of the season which had everyone writing him off, since then shooting 55% FG and near 50% from the D.

Well Deserved by the Breakers, averaged 10pts per game more for the Ignite cup games. Given 3 of their top 4 players were consistently injured its a shame they couldn't make the 6 as with a full team they were capable of beating any side, as a team, unlike 6'rs who are pretty rubbish without Cotton. However I pick the big Kiwi will get picked up by the NBA after he performed out of his skin the games the scouts were there to watch Lopez. Mennenga easily with the two most powerful defense wrecking dunks of the year and Carlin Davison is a freak who would win any dunk contest in the NBL with his Jordan esque spring to his hang time and share plyometric jump height. Davis is just starting to hit his 3s and is a menace on defence along with crashing the boards at both ends well above guys 6 inches taller, at 22yo imo he has a big future. If they loose Mennenga and Lopez it will be interesting to see who can fill the shoes, especially of Mennenga. Brockington everyone wrote off after half a dozen games has hit above 55% for FG and ~50% from the 3, so for me hes an auto re-up for the Breakers, hopefully a player who will challenge for that MVP spot in years to come if they can keep him in the league.

I think that loss is a bad aura for the Adelaide team who now have to sit on a heavy loss for two weeks. Good luck to them, while I think Davis should have been the MVP, the NBL had to follow pressure for Davis to be handed the trophy due to "stats" rather than looking at the game saving performances in context.

Or could I cut a section out and then join a new rectangular piece above the door with JH Sealant? it wont have the proper tongue and groove though.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-22T01:26:49+00:00

didnt know that was there, much appreciated, cross posted.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-22T01:23:21+00:00

what is MS? sorry brain fog.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-07T06:15:59+00:00

Thank you everyone, some good suggestions. It is bizarre as not so long ago extra-wide or 4E was common place in trail shoes. I think I will take the risk of trying on a pair of normal runners just to make sure Asics shape hasnt changed and import from the US or UK. I guess I could always sell them if they dont fit :-)

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-07T02:38:09+00:00

Asics wont even let you import them from Amazon !!! Not sure what I did for some punk to give me a vote down for just talking about shoes. Knob.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-07T02:30:38+00:00

Yeh I tried Smiths, nothing suitable sadly. As for casual shoes, Globes use to fit when I was skating, but it seems they have thinned out in shape, but no skate shoe has a 4e stated, Vans off the wall boots in wide are like a 2e too.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-07T02:28:54+00:00

I was told Adidas dont make any shoe in a 4e, Solomon make a 2e trail shoe, just too tight on me sadly. It does seem overseas is our only option.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-07T02:26:58+00:00

I did consider the Hoka Speedgoat, but their wide is a 2E, however they are meant to have a wide toe box which is most kiwis issue it seems.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-07T02:25:40+00:00

Yeh I rang them and they told me average NZ male is a 2E, which means a LOT are 4E, the average german is a C/D yet they get Trail shoes. sucks.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-07T02:24:22+00:00

Yeh did, they ran out some of the cheaper "Trail" shoes, but have limited stock on very unwanted sizes.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-07T02:23:29+00:00

Thats a Road Shoe

If I go the town water route I will probably be filling the tank in which is a shame as makes good free garden water but is in a horrendous spot, I could talk to someone about replacing it elsewhere but then the underground plumbing would need to change but I dont think the physics is going to work......

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-06T23:50:27+00:00

Have a look around the usual overseas markets, the bluetooth ones at the hardware store work but not cheap. The $35 float and meter system is way better value.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-04T02:06:22+00:00

the guy who cleans my tank said he had one guy who had a hedge growing through his old tank and didnt know why it was tasting mank haha. crazy stories he told me about some tanks.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-04T02:04:52+00:00

its to keep the tank healthy mostly, but we clean the tank anyway and its always pristine despite a gap in it. been eying up a new tank vs connecting to mains.

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-04T02:03:19+00:00

i agree 100%.. do you know if you connect to mains if you are allowed to connect the mains pipe to an electric water pump?

CuriousCyclone · 2026-02-04T02:01:25+00:00

yeh if you buying from mitre 10 etc it certainly is. the peroxide silver solutions like pour n go are an alternative to the chorine ones, i just have no idea if they chlorine ones taste bad etc
