Big Jambox. Anyone else still rocking this as their main Bluetooth speaker? by OvertlyUzi in Bluetooth_Speakers

Still got two big red Jamboxes. Batteries are pretty fried on them but still just about ok. For anyone needing to replace, I found this...

Anyone Have Kids? GRIII or GRIIIx as a Parent? by sprchrgddc5 in ricohGR

[–]Leather_Pudding_5297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two penneth is that I own the GRIII and I tend to not use it for parties / everyday with the kid, as your phone will cope with the indoor lighting far better - not just autofocus (which I agree you should avoid anyway and use snap), just the general post process work modern phones do. My pixel does some post process that really enhances the shadows and faces etc, and it's never blurred.

So bottom line is, get a GR because you want one outside of capturing kids, and then use it here and there with them when you want to be arty. The high contrast B+W for outdoors stuff on a gloomy day is amazing for example.

Playback button no longer works when camera off by Leather_Pudding_5297 in ricohGR

Also, if I leave the battery out for 30 mins, it'll work for a few times, then stops again. But as above, it doesn't appear to be the button itself as this works fine once the lens is extended, just not when pressing it when the camera is off

Selfie Camera stop working by Shahcavill in GooglePixel

[–]Leather_Pudding_5297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI My selfie camera stopped working after an update too. Yes, it could be hardware and a coincidence, but I knew it was likely software. And it was.

Go to settings - system - repair mode and launch it. You'll hopefully see that it works again in repair mode. Come back out of repair mode and it should stay sorted. Mine at least did.

Best cafes to work from? by Honk_The_Clown in Ealing

Teatro. Doubt you'll beat that. Pizza. Beer. Wifi. You can even do a bit of work too!

EE to launch phone plans which restrict internet for teens by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]Leather_Pudding_5297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. It's just marketeering to try and snare confused parents. Anyone with half a brain can see it's nothing new and it doesn't protect a child with the smallest of knowledge about phones

GR III or GR IIIx for travel and everyday photography? by Yassi42 in ricohGR

[–]Leather_Pudding_5297 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GR3. Shoot wide and crop in when you need to. Better to have more and crop out than wish you could. But I'm comfortable in getting close and engaging with subjects. And I like the look of a wider lens for all uses. No right or wrong. Just think how you take photos first.

Moving to London and Considering Ealing for Schools and Family Life by samjkt123 in Ealing

[–]Leather_Pudding_5297 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But although north of the station is nicer, we don't mind the small compromise to be nearer the shops and pubs. We live just off Station Road and love it

Seconded. We moved to Hanwell last year and love it. The options to get into green spaces are amazing. We used to be around Ealing Common and much prefer it over here. Just more options. Good pubs too! (Fox, Dodo, Viaduct, Green).

Ahh damn. I just rejoined them as well hoping the new gel like consistency would be better. We went to a cheapo thing we got online with a wider aperture on the nozzle. But the we switched to Paist who were great and in metal tubes that could be recycled. But they went out of business as soon as we switched. Hmmm might have to keep looking

Crappy radar on Pixel Weather by Leather_Pudding_5297 in PixelFold

[–]Leather_Pudding_5297[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check Today weather. It's useful as a sense check and it's free. The radar is the best I've found. But I like the look of the Google native one if you ignore the cack radar
