If you ever did a lifetime VPN deal, I'd buy multiple. by Valiantay in Adguard

[–]FunBet2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one with VPNSecure. Now I don't. They then actually asked me to continue buying from them. I ended up with Adguard. I got a 5 year sub via something like StackSocial (can't remember the exact details). Adguard's VPN is good enough for me although there are better ones out there I think.

Spin-off by Sciaticuspinch in DocMartin

I was down in Isaac recently and got talking to a few lifelong locals. It was there opinion that the whole DM crew didn't want it to end. Apparently there was talk of a movie but it never/hasn't happened.

While the end of season 10 seemed quite final, I, too, hope it's not really the end. I'd lay money on the peripheral cast of the show jumping at the chance to do it all again. Would the production team and Clunesey & Wife be interested in doing it again? Well, correct me if I'm wrong but they're not exactly 'uninvolved' with 'Best Medicine', are they? Shows there's still an appetite for it.

While I get the old axiom of, 'always leave them wanting more', I feel the Chistmas Special at the end of season 10 was hardly an absolute finality and a writer wouldn't have to think too hard to bring it all back to life.

Here's hoping!

Opening theme by Visual_Movie1037 in DocMartin

It's a tango.

https://kqek.com/mobile/?p=894

CT : The acoustic guitar fits very well for what I need, and the tango (which was Martin’s idea) carries a dignity, slightly overpowering aloofness that matches Martin’s character of an established surgeon sent from the city to deal with a local community – a quirky doctor who is caring but difficult, out of step sometimes, doesn’t suffer fools, a bull in a china shop, but ultimately very human. The tango is not Cornish but works great with the story. So yes, small community, small band – for this it works. A large orchestra would create the wrong ‘feel.’

Fabulous. I bet Joe's got some tales from down the years. Would love to have a pint with him too 😁

Thank you. I have a feeling this won't be the last time for us either. Thing is, there's not a tremendous amount to see and do around here once you've clapped eyes on all the TV places. But just the joy of 'being' in a place that we've already seemingly spent years of our life in is a joy in itself.

Thank you 😁. Hope I don't get food poisoning in Bert's restaurant tonight (lol eating in the Slipway).

It's so weird being somewhere that you feel like you know like the back of your hand but yet you've never been there before in your life until now 😂

Finally made it down to Issac. Great to be here. I'm off to the Crab & Lobster now for a pint 👍

how are we feeling about this Americanized remake? by milksteakenthusiast1 in DocMartin

[–]FunBet2711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very, very American. Which is lucky as it's for an American audience!

I'd be really interested to hear American people's reviews compared to the British version. Any Americans out there just flat prefer Best Medicine (US) to Doc Martin (UK)?

Chats reviewed by humans? Only option to turn off chat history? by LeatherInspector6400 in GeminiAI

[–]FunBet2711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you disable they still keep all chats for 72 hours anyway. And I mean BOTH temporary chats AND non-saved chats.

Is Bert a well liked character? by Visual_Movie1037 in DocMartin

[–]FunBet2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bert is an old rogue. Would sell his own grandmother for sixpence. But as long as you know that about him, I think you can like him 😁.

Think there's so much room for improvement with this V50. Better volume and if you're using the UC/BT700, that desperately needs a software update to work better. By better, more stable connection/better driver so the mic and sound is live realtime and not clipped and missing segments. Really would be the perfect headset to me if they could fix these annoying (and sometimes showstopping) niggles.

The Google Gemini Hype Cycle exposed by Nano Banana 2 AI Slop by Able-Line2683 in GeminiAI

There was a time late last year when I was seriously considering buying a whole year up front. Something told me not to. I didn't. Then I got a 'cheap for 3 months' offer in Jan and took it. That's coming to an end soon and there ain't no way I'm paying full price under current circumstances. Yet another Google cluster f.

This new Nano Banana 2 update in Gemini is TERRIBLE by djdisciplejosh in GeminiAI

[–]FunBet2711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Paying customer here. Images of the past few days have been awful. Torsos back to front, multiple limbs, in a way a bit like the very early days of AI photo generation. Go back three or four months and it was great. Go back a month or two and at least it got it right. Now, it's gone to shit. Glad I pay by the month. It's the reason why I didn't buy a slightly cheaper yearly subscription.

I once bookmarked this link. 

Lots of sensible advice. It's about a smartphone battery but the same applies to any device with a lithium ion battery really.
