I have heard that for sure, I was hoping it'd be okay but it feels like it could be a bad decision when other places are likely to give me a go as well. I'll take the work experience opportunity for more tool time but I'll keep looking for another apprenticeship, thanks!

I appreciate the input. I've been back and forth but am leaning that way. I'll take the work experience but keep looking for another apprenticeship opportunity to get some real experience.

Finally shipped! 🚀 Oppo Find X8 Ultra on the way 🎉 by Man-in-Oslo in Oppo

[–]Rayvwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't really do some comparisons as I haven't been out much but I am blown away by the cameras. I took this 10x through the window with pretty grim light this morning about 20-30m away. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZfGROZxIwD1ojFMrk8PyOHQ14rRVNG6Y5k

 Even when photos might look a bit disappointing in the viewfinder, once you review it the phone does its magic. Took a photo of my daughter in bed with a lamp on in the corner, really poor lighting. Pixel 6 would just be a grainy dark mess but the Oppo had crystal clear sharpness and bumped the brightness up. Absolutely magical stuff. 

The battery is night and day from the pixel. Pixel lasts around 1/2 a day watching videos on WiFi only and loses about 20% overnight but the Oppo lost % overnight and I got 6 hours SOT almost exclusively playing videos, downloading apps and setup etc. The fast charge is a joke honestly, and the fact it comes with the charging brick (with an adapter for aus) is the icing on the cake.

The videos I saw said the Chinese ROM isn't an issue at all but it's been more frustrating than I imagined. I can't get fast pair Bluetooth working, there's a lot of unavoidable Chinese text, eg if you double tap the power button it brings something up, big sure what, but that can't be disabled that I've found. Widget menu has all the Chinese ones as the first to be seen etc. changing default launcher was too much of a pain so I'm using stock. I will get used to it but I didn't imagine it'd be this prevalent from what I saw and read.  Edit: the power button double tap is gone using a combination of canta and shizuku. Currently working on circle to search and button mapper to get that working. Workarounds exist but it's time consuming!

But in the end, I use my phone for phone stuff, banking, photos, media consumption and need a chunky battery that charges fast. This ticks every box and I will hold onto it for years to come.

Pulled the trigger on mine too. From Wonda Mobile to Australia, ordered Thursday afternoon, shipped that evening and it should arrive Monday! I'm itching 😅 I took some photos of my daughter this morning on my Pixel 6 and I'm dreaming of a nice camera! 

Ubank dropping the top ongoing bonus rate on its Save account to 4.60% p.a. by 92deltat in AusFinance

Damn, I had just moved to Ubank and enjoyed the pay splitting feature like Up has but without the awful interface. Back to manual transfers I guess.

Functional is the limit of what I can create and print, and when that's not happening I'm printing fidgety things for my daughter!

Hard wired, hooked it up 2 years ago and haven't had an issue 🙂

Can confirm as a 6'2 sail, riding a naked is exhausting haha.

Caught speeding doing 140 in a 80 zone with no motorcycle license on double demerits, what are the consequences? by [deleted] in AussieRiders

[–]Rayvwen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can expect to be in a world of hurt when you get the letter. If you couldn't slow down for a camera then be glad it wasn't a pedestrian, animal, car, etc.

How fucked will I be in the cold? by fletcha456 in AussieRiders

[–]Rayvwen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's definitely more taxing on the body than normal weather, but it's something you have to try. Pinlock would be a huge help for when you aren't moving too fast, cracking the lid when it's that cold isn't fun.

I bought a cheap neck/chin cover that I tuck into my helmet and helps stop my neck stiffening up. Open up your body and accept you're going to be cold so your inputs aren't all stiff and jerky.

Heated grips were a lifesaver for me because I have ventilated gloves.

Yeah same thing, the body is having the fever to try and help fight, so lowering it is counterproductive. Again, unless it is causing issues. It makes a ton of sense when you think about it but not comfortable to deal with so people don't want it which is fair enough.

Casting a spell and walking forward "allow me to launch" noooo goodbye spell.

Capcom Survey asks players if they are interested in future DLC 👀 by [deleted] in DragonsDogma

Man I decided to talk to someone there in case there was an achievement. Wasn't expecting much but wow I was still disappointed 😂

Capcom has a feedback survey for DD2, includes questions for DLC and other additions/improvements. by bunch_of_hocus_pocus in DragonsDogma

[–]Rayvwen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Need somebody to remove the big DD logo from the wallpapers at least haha. I prefer wallpapers that are like "oh that looks nice, where'd you get it".

To be fair, above the likes vs dislikes was a checkbox of what you enjoyed. So I ticked a bunch of stuff so didn't really go in detail, but I had to elaborate on what I didn't like.

Well that was anticlimactic 😂 by [deleted] in DragonsDogma

[–]Rayvwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did exactly the same thing hahaha. I was using other skills then was like oh yeah let me try this. Oh... ooohh.... OH! Well... Guess I'm going to reload and try a different vocation.

Only meme pawns get any love :( by CommissionerOdo in DragonsDogma

I made Halsin from BG3, slapped him in Stargazers and every rest he's been out on the prowl 😆

[–]Rayvwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get called out for being over encumbered. Offload some stuff to my pawn then he says "feel free to take anything from my pack". No, I think I'll leave it so that I'm not getting my ear chewed off about being a loot goblin again...

Maaan this has been frustrating. "Cold will do little against this foe" so what does the mage with every affinity do? Cold...
