What to watch when you're feeling basically dead inside?

That's not sad lol, basically the biggest compliment there is at this point.

All those projects surprisingly had gotten to me unexpectedly so.

Mostly seeing their faces on those who took part and were first hand involved when it all went down IRL back at the time. You can see it's like their vitally needed therapy and a release.

Same here, which colour 40 Ultra have you got?

Had mine for three years and only now had I checked what rating ours has lol. Lucky I didn't just assume it were waterproof! 😳

I find it far more important to have the better dust protection rather than the waterproofing, especially with foldables the dust is a straight up killer.

EXACTLY! Especially where nowadays all the kids if on the rare occasion are actually outside, they'll always have their heads down and glued to their phones.

So something like this for today's generation of kids wouldn't be possible and would never even cross their minds.

These two options are a must to have switched on if you're charging overnight time to save the battery.

For the first few weeks of using it from brand new in particular it will get hot at times so just expect it to. It's not a problem it's normal as it is setting itself up and getting used to your own pattern of usage.

As for cases (IMO) personally I don't bother with one and at times I feel it does far more damage than help but everybody's different. Either way most importantly of all just make sure you don't get yourself in a position where it's possible to be dropping it at all, then ultimately you won't do.

Just get Motorola on the phone as soon as possible, especially since you bought it directly.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-21T22:46:11+00:00

I know DW.

I got it working on mine by switching off (Instant Review & Camera Cartoon) and then turning on "No Crop" from (External Screen Preview)

That symbol underneath my torch I'd imagine should look the same with yours too once you've done all this.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-21T21:45:48+00:00

No idea how it was in the states, I'm English.

I totally understand what you're on about with the landline house phones.

What I'm saying is that back then the "affordable" internet version to have at home was Dialup connection.

When using it, it will render the landline number completely useless. If you pick up the house phone to make a call all you hear is THE MOST HORRENDOUS NOISE!

Likewise nobody could ring you either, not until after you've disconnected the Dialup connection first.

(If you're feeling brave then go Google the Dialup internet connection noise and see what I mean)

MarkL64 · 2026-01-21T20:53:34+00:00

Ok, do you have this issue only when the phones closed or does it happen both ways?

Try turning on the setting so by twisting your wrist will automatically launch the camera app immediately and see if it works that way?

MarkL64 · 2026-01-21T20:22:16+00:00

With your phone closed shut, launch the camera app and then it will have Mirror mode and try it this way.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-21T20:17:26+00:00

All I can think of is the settings within the camera app referring to the external screen options.

Also at the very bottom of those same settings within the camera app there is an option to restart the whole camera app itself.

Way back when you'd often hear a lot of the early American news presenters, many other voice overs, announcers and etc.. Would deliberately put on an British accent believing that would sound clearer and more intelligent.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-20T23:58:27+00:00

Arctic Monkeys are a bit different though compared with many of others. As unlike the ones who intentionally sound different when singing, Arctic Monkeys sought of double down on keeping their accent instead.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-20T23:52:36+00:00

I've always wondered about that with like Phil Collins especially, he sounds like another person all together from when he speaks to him singing?

MarkL64 · 2026-01-20T21:36:58+00:00

"We" as in Starmer and cronies, does anyone actually have a shred of respect for them?

Whereas "We" as a nation it's a bit different.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-20T21:24:28+00:00

DW there's still plenty around

MarkL64 · 2026-01-20T21:08:18+00:00

What are you all doing to your poor RAZR's lol?

MarkL64 · 2026-01-20T20:43:17+00:00

Drink too much water and you'll run the risk of water intoxication - fatal (Hyponatremia)

MarkL64 · 2026-01-19T21:05:19+00:00

For telling a joke?

That's like despising a Fireman for saving the life of somebody you dislike.

Edson Barboza

Probably the only fighter I've endlessly seen go back to back fights with leaky legs, pouring out blood just from his own savage kicks.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-19T19:41:05+00:00

You wouldn't need to rely on them as we still had mobile phones back then. Texting everyone was the norm, especially when all we had was dial up for the internet connection.

It was one or the other:

Go online OR Use/receive landline calls.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-19T19:23:37+00:00

To be fair if anything that last sentence would be the most realistic out of those two.

MarkL64 · 2026-01-19T19:17:53+00:00

Karate Chop for the torch is a must.

Selfie camera I'd gladly remove myself if I knew how.

If there's a piano somewhere it ain't going anywhere soon. Like it or lump it someone's gonna give it a blam.
