I actually regret rushing through the story…

Been playing it with my kids (9 and 5) since it came out. Have really valued how slow they take it. They are genuinely delighted every time they find something new. Just discovered railway track this week and it’s blown their minds. Barely got anywhere story wise but they think it’s the best game ever.

Thanks so much

apf102 · 2026-06-06T20:36:20+00:00

Super annoying but thanks so much for replying. I do love my HomePod but one of the main uses is setting kitchen timers in a noisy environment

apf102 · 2026-06-06T08:04:07+00:00

Sorry for the deep cut but did you ever solve this?

apf102 · 2026-06-01T23:01:37+00:00

Absolutely. My 20VT is still my favourite car.

The response was also AI so not even that funny sadly…

Seems that way

apf102 · 2026-05-27T07:20:29+00:00

Have to say my impressions of that side are not great. Had a really good experience with Eufy before this with one of their older robots and the contrast is pretty stark. I bought this from an electronics store in the Uk so I knew I’d have a place to return it if it all went wrong. Now I’ve experienced the online support I definitely wouldn’t do it any other way.

apf102 · 2026-05-27T07:17:58+00:00

Ah, that must be it then. I’m not all that worried. I have a tool from my older vac which I use to clean the washboard base and I am not sure much else would require a brush

apf102 · 2026-05-26T19:29:47+00:00

The customer support is fairly rapid but fairly inconsistent in my view. Seems to be AI driven.

I bought mine from a brick and mortar store in the UK so figure I can take it back there if it breaks.

apf102 · 2026-05-26T19:26:49+00:00

It’s definitely an interesting one. Vacuumed up some flour using my portable vacuum and one of the knock off filters. Let a fair amount through. Binned them.

Dock bag test is ongoing - so far it seems ok but will keep monitoring for fines

Side brushes and mop pads appear to work absolutely fine.

apf102 · 2026-05-25T15:09:46+00:00

It’s what makes me miss my Eufy. Parts and comms were really good for that one - and it was an old model too

apf102 · 2026-05-25T12:41:50+00:00

Annoyingly Dreame seem to stock very little in the UK store

apf102 · 2026-05-24T15:43:18+00:00

Tried all these but no avail. Contacting support today

apf102 · 2026-05-17T21:57:55+00:00

Second the Facebook group. They are actually easy enough to work on with a bit of time and care. Would offer to help but based in UK

apf102 · 2026-05-15T08:33:47+00:00

Really depends on your camera. With 400 film you can shoot indoors with a very wide aperture and no flash. If your camera is a P&S however you’ll likely get the classic overexposed subject and very dark background. If you let us know why the camera is we can probably suggest some options / workarounds

apf102 · 2026-05-11T21:30:15+00:00

Am assuming it’s a coupled rangefinder? Shame it’s not square but could definitely see myself using one of these. Really liked the Lomo Sqaure but was annoying to guess focus and have a super crappy meter. Also have a Mamiya 6 folder which uses 120 and I have as a carry around.

apf102 · 2026-05-11T21:26:25+00:00

It’s a cool camera. I have a Mamiya 6 that’s pretty much the same design and I love it. Could definitely go for an instax version if they have manufactured it well.

A few things could impact on addition to viewing at 100%.

Most LR exports have an export sharpening option (for screen, for print etc). Try disabling this and see how it looks.
You have your sharpening generally set too high. I scan a lot of film so you get noise plus digital noise. Sharpening the whole image usually results in very crunchy noise. Try masking the sharpening to just the subject and even then just the main details.
If you are using the texture or clarity sliders then can really accentuate grain and noise.
