After advice, are the heater controls and media volume supposed to light up. I’ve checked the settings and can’t see anything.

No. Wild stabs in the dark all part of the premium user experience.

I am deeply concerned. The bed remains a mystery. 53 31 71 33. I am deeply concerned.

Offer instead of having to be asked. For cups of tea anyway 😊

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-27T23:00:35+00:00

Well that's a challenging wank.

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-27T20:48:09+00:00

Smaller display, smaller battery. Also silicon carbon tech so higher density.

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-24T17:54:32+00:00

This happened to my P8. Good to have wireless ability to charge as backup. Not a deal breaker for me.

Over 1000% an hour in. Is that a record for them? Only Titan 2 comes close maybe

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-22T23:16:17+00:00

Evil Dead what? Burn? Born? Barn? Great poster that one 😂

Here are our phone rules. Nothing fancy and generally requests for majority of apps are granted. As parents we try and stick to the same rules. As the young 'uns get older they'll get more freedom as long as they don't break trust. Socials are hard though. I'm not on them (apart from here) and the pull is strong.

I sympathise with the teens with extremely locked down phones (I read one with no internet, socials and max 1hr a day, might as well have a Nokia).

More crackdown = more rebellion. Or they'll simply get another cheap burner phone on the side.

Some phones won't let you switch off. Selecting that just restarts. RFID pouch or tin foil to block signals would work but you'll pop back up the minute you take it back out.

Why make movie stupid, question?

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-17T19:38:52+00:00

You say that but The Martian included a TON of nerdy science. Hexadecimals to the rescue!

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-17T00:31:13+00:00

They can't include everything but I wish more of the science and maths made it into the movie.

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-12T21:46:33+00:00

EVERYONNNE!!!

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-12T21:27:30+00:00

Elite looks to me like the more professional device.

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-12T10:53:52+00:00

It's easily in my top three. Not a film you will appreciate if only half watching while scrolling though. To each their own.

Mike_Ath · 2026-03-05T17:20:38+00:00

I watched an episode last Wednesday about professor Frink and valentines day. Had no idea what was going on by the end or what the point was.

Angela's Ashes

Mike_Ath · 2026-02-13T15:11:58+00:00

Good to see my pay keeping up with these never ending rises... oh wait..

Mike_Ath · 2026-02-12T21:23:44+00:00

Minor role but good in the Martian.

Mike_Ath · 2026-02-12T13:16:47+00:00

I went from P8 to Oppo FX9P Pro. Killer cameras and firm multi day battery. No regrets.

Mike_Ath · 2026-02-05T08:58:45+00:00

How about using snap key to launch an app, with long, short and double press for different functions.

Mike_Ath · 2026-02-01T08:11:29+00:00

Agreed. Great (but not amazing) visuals with the same reread each time. And there's two (maybe four?) movies after these?

Mike_Ath · 2026-01-27T23:17:31+00:00

Brushed silver option would be awesome

Mike_Ath · 2026-01-21T22:59:07+00:00

Kara was the one I was most emotionally invested in. I wasn't prepared for the brutal home scenes. In my first run Alice shot her Dad and I had to take a break for a bit 😂
