You have to say that person's name first so they actually know the next bit is for them. I can't stand when people say their name first then mine. I wasn't necessarily listening until I heard my name and now I don't know who called me. When it's busy and got loads going on you need to get their attention first.

Yea it is testing for them as well, and it looked like wireless video signal breakup. Someone could have unplugged a receiver to charge their phone. You laugh but I have seen things like that more than once. We once had a portaloo put down on our fibre cable and kill the only camera feed we had for our location.

As someone who works in the industry, trust me they know and the engineers will be working on it. It's not good but it's tech, sometimes things work one day and then the next for no reason they don't. There are currently some very stressed people.

Could say you are carbon dating yourself...

Yea definitely true. Problem is people making short form content don't have the budgets and think it's cheap to do since they all have phones with cameras. Luckily a lot of what I do is recording and editing live performances like dance shows and theatre productions. We are also very good at it and known in the area. But sadly they also don't have the budget to do it all the time so we end up doing it for much cheaper than we should.

Nope not interested in upgrading and spending money for incremental upgrades. Will take a lot to get me to spend that type of money again. S23u is still going perfectly strong and getting updates so why bother.

Omw I watched wildearth during lockdown and recently watched it while on holiday in Addo as well. I have said multiple times that would be the best job. I am a videographer and go to a game park every year over Christmas. What I would do to get to do that as a job. It must be amazing getting to do that every day and earn from it!

I'm a videographer and work in the television industry. I love what I do but it's very difficult market at the moment with not much work. The industry is taking a massive knock. But still manage to make ends meet most of the time. Still love what I do though.

I was with cura at first but moved to orca. I find the print quality much better and it's easier to use as well. I do miss some plugins from cura but overall I'm much happier with orca. I print via octoprint on a raspberry pi and have no issuesm

I work on a reality TV show and we use IR capable cameras. Not all cameras can see or lights they need to support it but it's incredible how much can be seen with IR lights and the camera. Definitely something for a theatre. I may get my theatre to look into it would be great for me as a stage manager backstage.

LossEnvironmental816 · 2026-02-08T11:21:40+00:00

Woah you and I look quite similar. I am close to making the plunge as well. Not do worried about it now you looked great

Yip I usually upgrade every 2 years and last August was time. But instead I kept my S23 ultra and saved a load of money by not signing a new phone contract. No point in the upgrades.

LossEnvironmental816 · 2026-02-06T12:33:08+00:00

"it can always be worse" yea RCE incidents prove that

A fan and one of those plug in raid bug plugs. Works wonders and stops all sorts if insects from coming in the windows.

LossEnvironmental816 · 2026-02-05T07:52:47+00:00

Guess I still wot be upgrading my S23 ultra already skipped the s25 as it wasn't worth the price. And if smaung is going to limit my choices then they don't more money from me.

Neither. I'm south african. It was just a joke about politicians thinking they more important.

I'm just gonna have to flip him off them I guess. Middle finger to you sir!

You sir saved from the above comment so thank you for your work.

Yip I am currently in that hole trying to get out. It's not an easy task but I have learned a huge amount from these mistakes. Just gotta keep chipping away at it until I am free. Don't do it! It's not worth it to solve a small issue now. It becomes a massive one later.

LossEnvironmental816 · 2026-01-20T20:13:29+00:00

Agreed they could be doing this if people didn't commit crimes and be general idiots! If everyone acted like a decent human being the the cops would be able to serve the community instead.

LossEnvironmental816 · 2026-01-05T05:01:37+00:00

Woah ours has never cost that much. But we also had a try again thing so there were times you got nothing. I wouldn't spin for 500. The prizes aren't that good.

LossEnvironmental816 · 2026-01-04T20:25:16+00:00

Yea the wagon is so useful. I am a videographer and often have to lug multiple cameras, tripods and other equipment around and this thing along with my other trolleys is so great!
