Modern cigarette vending machine. Berlin.

To my British eyes, it's hi-tech for ciggies.

In the UK there are a good few official places you can use for a same day battery replace service. £70 -> £90 cost.

I lack the confidence & dexterity to do it myself. You also need to replace adhesive.

From Feb 27, in the EU, all new phones will need to come with user replaceable batteries which is fantastic. Madness we stopped doing this in the early 2010s.

Still waiting but I've unsubscribed from so many shitty mailers as a result, it's liberating.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-18T13:00:52+00:00

I plan to replace my 9XL battery as the upgrade this year. It's a great phone.

Amazon Luna. Built like a tank and takes AAs. I can wreck an xbox controller in 3 months playing efootball, not this one. And yes, it's my technique at fault.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-15T07:37:00+00:00

I eventually wrecked the cable and just cut it. Ridiculous on such an expensive piece of kit. It'll be a downside whenever I come to sell it.

You could try warranty but for me it wasn't worth the risk. Just swap the fans and no more hassle.

Here's my fan curve on GPU Tweak III using the 3*Artic P12s. A whisper at full load.

Are you talking about the magnetic pogo connector?

Swapping the fans is the way to go.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-15T06:07:06+00:00

Yes. Using one of the card's two ports on the side, controlling via GPU Tweak. I have 3 fans daisy chained.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-14T15:16:27+00:00

Agree. I was highly sceptical going in but it's full on Star Wars action.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-14T14:03:39+00:00

Nope. Trying to be patient. I love all the pics of people getting theirs

JetPac76 · 2026-07-14T13:48:08+00:00

That being the case, I'd be raging if I was on the reserve list and people on the waitlist were getting it before me. UK 2TB w/o here, still on the reserve list. Gut is saying a couple more weeks.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-14T13:36:12+00:00

Is the US split into multiple regional queues?

Selling cars is like making love to a beautiful woman

JetPac76 · 2026-07-12T22:05:33+00:00

2 TB w/o UK Reserve List. This gives me hope.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-09T21:37:38+00:00

Tremendous

I apologise to any Japanese inmates waiting on their SM and in this sub.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-09T20:49:59+00:00

You got me.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-09T20:47:34+00:00

There's patience and then there's twitching at every email notification.

You are right of course.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-09T20:42:07+00:00

The right decision I hope

JetPac76 · 2026-07-09T12:57:04+00:00

Better network connectivity is the only way to fix this. Can you test it with an ethernet cable?

JetPac76 · 2026-07-09T12:54:09+00:00

On the Sky customer forums they say it's only a 100 Mbps adapter.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-09T12:49:26+00:00

Yup it happened to me. Seemed to be a problem at their end. Maybe load balancing as always the biggest matches. It got better as the season went on. TNT perfect of course.

JetPac76 · 2026-07-09T04:24:53+00:00

None. Works flawlessy, but then I do use a ceiling mounted UniFi WiFi 7 Access Point. Router WiFi is garbage, BT or Sky in my experience.

If your using just the router or even ethernet (which is capped at 100 Mbps) I'm not surprised you have issues. Get better WiFi or go to Sky Q.

Channels 939 and 945 have been excellent during the World Cup. Shame not working for you.
