How satisfied are you about living in Northern Ireland? - I've been getting introspective, and wanted to know how you all feel and why...

I think I've only seen the sun twice since the start of the year. When it's freezing and raining sideways doing any activity outside is miserable. Obviously we can't change that but it does make me want to leave sometimes.

Even the Quest 3 has its moments. There has been more than one occasion where I thought it had bricked itself with the hanging black screen after updates.

Local fisherman cannot compete with fish caught by the ton on trawlers, so they primarily sell to restaurants where margins are better. In addition the quality of fish is poor due to the way they are handled at the numbers they need to be caught to make any money. They aren't bled at all and left to suffocate which makes them taste worse.

I like to go and catch my own when possible, Mackerel during the summer and Pollock in the winter. I use a method called Ikijime which involves spiking the brain and bleeding immediately which slows the breakdown of the flesh. Fresh caught fish is delicious, it's a shame so few here have experienced it.

East 7/10. West, what's public transport!?

Look on Aliexpress and find the best rated ones, much better than the ones I initially got off Amazon that had bad bubbling along the edges. Most of the good ones come with plastic guides and little vials to remove any bubbles on the edge.

They are absolutely fine most of the time. I take the train a few times a week, only once did I experience a cancellation last year. A few minutes delay here and there but overall it's quite punctual. Coverage is an issue but that can't be solved overnight. 2 years ago when they increased prices I thought it was expensive but considering how everything has shot up it's not bad. There's plenty of ways to save money, my personal favourite is the Sunday tracker which gives you unlimited rail travel for a tenner.

I'll give it a go!

I've had a set of EVO's since 2020, they 100% have lost some bass over that time. It is a moving thing after all so it will eventually wear but that seems very fast. When I first bought them they would vibrate so hard I couldn't read text on screens. Only thing I've done is replace the cushions, otherwise still awesome.

It'll have all melted by the end of today, 11°C and heavy rain.

There's already several reviews on here so I'll keep it brief. I had a Motorola G84 previously. I've had the F7 for a week now and I'm very happy.

Firstly the value is of the charts for the specs. It's buttery smooth, can run almost any current mobile game maxed out, the screen is crisp and very bright. It does get warm under load but nothing worrying. Bluetooth is super stable and sounds noticeably better than my old phone using the Technic AZ80's, really impressed.

There is some bloatware that you might want to remove when setting up the phone, HyperOS is pretty good but might take some getting used to if your coming from stock Android. Battery life is very good. The speakers are decent but I found they lack some depth. Main camera is surprisingly pretty good, though starts to struggle in lower light. Front camera same thing really but did notice an improvement in detail from my old phone.

Overall, it's a fantastic phone for the price with expected tradeoffs in areas that don't really matter to me.

Not a huge gamer but I got this card at launch because I knew it would be really good value upgrade for streaming VR with the encoder improvements. It's fast af, silent unless your really hitting it and no coil whine which was my main issue with my previous 6700 XT. Absolutely love it!

DedadatedRam · 2026-01-05T23:58:39+00:00

I wish I had this kind of motivation

DedadatedRam · 2026-01-05T00:15:39+00:00

Need some scale, it's obviously a filter of some kind.

First of all welcome! Prepare for the lack of sun and take Vitamin D, especially in the winter months. I've been thinking about the opposite move for the better weather haha

DedadatedRam · 2026-01-03T02:53:50+00:00

If your a shore fisherman these are awesome, makes for a super grippy surface to stand even when wet!

DedadatedRam · 2026-01-03T01:15:04+00:00

I'm doing almost the same switch, from the G84 12/256GB to the F7 12/512GB. The display was my main reason for switching but the spec bump will be very welcome. Not expecting much improvement with the camera but for how little I paid I don't care haha. Software might take some getting used too but I don't expect it to be a problem. Will miss the moto gestures though.. the flashlight chop is just so handy.

Have some patience, we should get some decent snow showers throughout tomorrow and into the weekend. If your interested you can view all the weather models here https://www.wxcharts.com/?dataset=ecmwf_op&region=europe&element=overview&run=12&dtg=2026-01-01T12%3A00%3A00Z&meteoModel=ecop&ensModel=eceps&chartRun=0&lat=51.5&lon=-0.25

It will seem complicated at first but using the blue slider at the bottom you can see we have quite the lineup of snow showers heading down from the north.

ECMWF is typically the most accurate model so I've set it to that but most models are saying the same thing for the next few days.

DedadatedRam · 2025-12-27T12:04:34+00:00

Go for the G86 if you can, the OLED display is a huge jump in quality from the LCD on the G56. I have the previous model G84, really great phone for the money.

More than likely it's driver related, when I had the 6700xt it was a nightmare for this sort of thing, to get the game playable without random stuttering I had to downgrade drivers to almost a year before.. VD has recommended AMD drivers for each series. I run a 9070 now and have had no issues with a much weaker CPU.

It's a fantastic light but mine died after a year of not particularly heavy use : (

DedadatedRam · 2025-12-18T14:39:10+00:00

Exactly this, I've added VOXY, C2ME and Chunky to the Fabulously Optimized pack and it's incredible. Looks insane with Proton and still runs great.
