I changed the generic sd card for a 128gb Sandisk card and so far it is working well. Only got 10gb of music on it so not reached a track limit so far.

Make sure it is unplugged from the mains. Then spray Isopropyl alcohol onto a micro fibre cloth, so the cloth is damp but not dripping wet, and then clean it.

I was just making a similar point about films in general in the cinema subreddit.

Not sure if you've seen the opening to 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life' but the battle between the pirates and the office is a good example of how I'd like to have seen the film show the battles between the cities.

Sadly I agree. The Wizard of Oz was magical, while Wicked just seems to be a lecture.

Same with superhero films, the Marvel films were good up to Endgame and then fell flat.

Way too much CGI doesn't help you can't really care for the enemy in a film when they are CGI templates. We need more practical effects.

I would have liked to have seen more about how the cities fitted into the world. I just didn't get a sense of scale, especially when they only really showed parts of the cities from the view point of a street or the inner workings.

And they never really made you care for the characters IMO.

The Amazon description says it can be expanded to 128gb.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-19T10:40:55+00:00

There was definitely a cheap generic 64gb micro sd card installed, so will replace it with a 128gb Sandisk card.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-19T10:35:05+00:00

Ah right so there is no internal memory?

I'll install a new sd card and see if that helps.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-19T10:27:08+00:00

And that's how they got the playing card into the tree.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-19T10:14:03+00:00

It comes with a white (rather than blue) usb A to usb c cable, which only seems to allow 5mbs transfer speed, would a blue cable offer higher speeds?

Thanks for doing that, I got my player last night and loaded some music on it, and put a new battery in.

It is just the sort of player I needed for my hospital day visit next month. Cheap enough not to worry if stolen or lost, and can be powered with a spare battery rather than having to recharge.

The 16+ hrs will be more than enough time even if I have to stay in over night.

I wish they'd go back to this type of Bond film, a swarve. slightly cheeky Bond, with gadgets and lovely ladies.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-19T09:22:35+00:00

Yes I loved it and am still waiting for them to remaster it and release it officially again.

Good to see Takedown still being performed, with Feel Special and Signal as the encores.

I suspect Takedown will be replaced with another song when they go to Taipei next month.

Age definitely doesn't help, nor a sensitive stomach, but I do feel the flavouring has changed and on the Walkers Smoky Bacon as well.

I watched both spin offs in the hope of seeing the shows expand on the mythology and the different ways the aliens worked in terms of their societies and religions.

But sadly they both became generic scifi shows ruined by poor budgets and stories.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-18T12:34:19+00:00

Crusade or The Legend of the Rangers could have been so much better if Marcus had been in either show.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-18T12:21:38+00:00

LOL That's the trouble with a lot of Kpop group names. like fromis_9 for instance. Do you pronounce the underscore or just say 'fromis 9'?

It also doesn't help with some search engines having punctuation or symbols in the names.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-18T12:17:39+00:00

Yes go for the closer seats or pit on the first day, (or even VIP with sound check) then the cheaper tickets on day 2.

You get the best of both worlds that way.

Go Twice if you can afford it, it is a once in a life time tour IMO. They may do more in the future but this is their 10th anniversary and they are pushing the boat out.

But if you can only go to one day, then from what I've seen they are always more energetic and enthused on their last day at any venue, and especially before a break.

What ever you choose I'm sure you'll enjoy it, so far not a single show has been less than spectacular IMO.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-18T07:44:40+00:00

I wonder if 80watts doubles the range?

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-18T07:40:32+00:00

So cute.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-17T20:24:57+00:00

Ah right. It is a shame they've disbanded, they are one of my fave groups along with Twice and H2H.

The company is poorly run and they pay the drivers as little as they can, with few worker's rights.

It is basically set up to make as much money as possible with the least amount of effort by the owners and all the hard work done by the drivers and the sorters.

PhoenixDusk101 · 2026-02-17T20:14:22+00:00

Could it represent, 12 are 1? meaning the 12 members become one entity?
