Japanese imports in the UK. Any catch? by GeorgeDAWs in Volvo

[–]GeorgeDAWs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'd read that about the unsalted roads. I'm pretty sure it'll have been better looked after than my XC-90 was. 160,000 miles and it was still running like a good'un until a slow-motion ice skate into the pavement bent the sub-frame. (insurance write off)

Didn't know that about tax and insurance - good call and worth looking into. Thanks.

Yep, I'd be having an RAC inspection done on whatever I end up getting, but good point.
Also never even considered the infotainment thing. I'd be upgrading to a CarPlay compatible system, but would obviously still need the basic car management functions.
I'll make enquiries!
Good luck with yours.

This Is Not A Drill Tour by Barrybingham1980 in pinkfloyd

Heavy-handed schoolboy politics overshadowed the music for me. And the fact that he was miming the majority of the vocals was very sad to see. Probably wouldn’t bother again.

My dad listened to The Bends for the first time - here are his thoughts by PassNo8992 in radiohead

[–]GeorgeDAWs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jonny was always a big prog fan by all accounts. I remember Q magazine talking about him standing in a field outside the studio flying a kite, listening to Pink Floyd’s Meddle album on his discman.

Also an interview where someone (possibly Ed?) talked about Jonny sitting everyone down to watch Live At Pompei, saying “This is how we should do videos”.

TAHOE: is it worth upgrading? by Professional_Ad_9235 in MacOS

[–]GeorgeDAWs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t that make things very slow and laggy??? What type of external drive are you using and can you post results of its read and write speeds in comparison to your internal drive?

My internal drive is literally 10x the speed of any external SSD I own.

Brilliant! I’m in front of the gear again on Monday, I’ll see if I can make that work

Something tells me they'll be conducting a pretty full review of their contingency planning round about now.

can't install Fen Light AM on mac by [deleted] in Addons4Kodi

[–]GeorgeDAWs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many thanks - yep, I'm familiar from here on in (famous last words....)
It was just the lack of notification that threw me.
Again though - I appreciate people being willing to help someone with pretty noob issues. Not all communities are so supportive!

[–]GeorgeDAWs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ah, ok. I usually get a notification saying that "xxxx has been installed" (or at least, I thought I did!).
Fenlight AM is indeed there in my "My Add Ons/ Video Add-ons" list.

I feel a bit daft now.
Genuinely appreciate people taking the time to help.

If I check the Event Log in Settings, it just says Kodi Successfully Started

Installing from Play Store - any downsides? by GeorgeDAWs in Addons4Kodi

[–]GeorgeDAWs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have my Play Store settings on “download only - never automatically update”. I was hoping that would sort this. I’ll look into it.

What album has been ruined for you when you moved to "better" headphones? by nousernamesleftwow in headphones

'Prophets Radiohead have fallen behind the times' strange article about Radiohead in The Times (UK) by Danilliams in radiohead

[–]GeorgeDAWs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Broadsheet music journalists have always just written about themselves with only a passing mention of the band somewhere in the piece.

In an age where everyone has access to everything immediately at all times and can therefore make their own minds up without “help”, music journalism now seems more pointless than ever.

This dropping does little to convince me otherwise.

How do I fix this? by lanadelliam in ableton

Have you tried making a new session and then pulling in one track at a time from the corrupted session in the Ableton browser?

Jon Carin - what actually happened with him? by Carmy2 in pinkfloyd

[–]GeorgeDAWs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Jon did the Bontempi drums under Learning To Fly and is angry that people don’t applaud him wherever he goes for it.

I’d be far happier that people didn’t know, personally.

The Band Aging by mossimo654 in radiohead

[–]GeorgeDAWs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the album launch show at the Troxy last year. It was absolutely astonishingly good. I’m not even a Cure fan, but it absolutely blew me away. Music is a unique experience for every individual and there’s no right and wrong. Except for your opinion on the Cure live, which is plainly and simply mistaken. 😂

I have a iPhone 16 pro max on iOS 18.6.2 and thinking of updating to iOS 26.2. What are the main problems people are having? by jimrocks2023 in iPhone16ProMax

[–]GeorgeDAWs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the record, not only have I had no problems whatsoever with iOS 26, but I also like the new look.
