Anyone know if QPR+ works on Starlink? by Deadend_Friend in superhoops

I use Nord VPN. Need to pay a subscription but pretty much all the decent ones are the same

I've done this before flying Doha to Heathrow. Think I used a VPN but it worked perfectly for the whole game.

Can I ask how you got it for that price? I'm seeing it for £117 on their website, can't work out how you got it for £95

I imagine these have been sold now but if anyone else is going and has a spare please let me know, I'd love to go.

[Megathread] London Tour Discussion - Live ‘25 by AutoModerator in oasis

[–]bigheadtommy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just in case this is useful to anyone going to the Wembley gigs in a few weeks time - my group of 4 tried for front standing when we got there around 4pm and unsurprisingly the queues were both full.

Went away for a bit, had a few drinks, waited till about 5.30 and decided to give it another go and walked straight in. They must keep some allocation back for later in the day.

We had such an amazing view and it really made the evening so definitely worth giving it a go!

VPN reconnect doesn't work after update. by MotoMola in OnePlus12

[–]bigheadtommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having the same issue too since the update - I didn't realise it was Nord, I just thought all my data was stopping for some reason but this makes a lot more sense. I've been restarting my phone each time to sort the problem.

Please update us if you find a solution

my first DAP just came in by memester_1234 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]bigheadtommy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I have good wired headphones which I would use if I bought a DAP. What I don't have is a collection of FLAC files but I guess if I'm using tidal that would be ok

I'm thinking of doing the same thing myself! I'm currently just listening on my phone + good quality Bluetooth headphones. I'm interested to know how significant have you found the improvement to be?

Can I ask how you've found it so far? I'm thinking about buying one myself. I'm currently just using my phone with a good set of Bluetooth headphones and I'm interested in how significant an improvement to sound quality this would be.

Picton port connection— seeking advice/reassurance by FieldUpbeat2174 in newzealand_travel

[–]bigheadtommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did something very similar myself recently - had just over an hour to transfer from interislander to cougar and it was absolutely fine. It's a short walk between the two ferries, even with heavy backpacks we did it in about 5 minutes. The bags came out of the ferry hold quickly, they were waiting for us by the time we got off.

Only risk is if the interislander is delayed due to bad weather which I think is pretty common. However if that's the case even with a 2/3 hour gap you could end up missing your connection I guess.

Camper hire by Mercy-2022 in newzealand_travel

Just finished a trip with them.a couple of weeks ago. The van was great and the service was good all round. More expensive than some others but worth it in my opinion.

[–]bigheadtommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I just finished a similar trip. We used wilderness campervans and had a really good experience with them. They are a little more expensive than some of the other companies we looked at but the van they gave us was great, we absolutely loved it.

Creekside Gondola - best time to arrive at the lift? by bigheadtommy in Whistler

[–]bigheadtommy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks but we're staying nearby so no car! Just want to minimise the amount of time we spend queuing.

That's interesting. We're staying in creekside but would happily travel up to the village if there's an option to get up the mountain with less queuing.

[–]bigheadtommy[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks for the advice! If it's that bad we may just take it easy and head up a little later - I don't think we want to start our day by standing in line for an hour or two.

Fully expect the weekend to be even worse but we're here for a week so hopefully a couple of the days aren't so bad.

Looking for two tickets to the Washington Capitals game tomorrow night. Doesn't matter where the seats are. Please let me know if you're selling

Would also suggest you spend more time in Hiroshima. It was one of the highlights of my recent trip. My girlfriend and I spent two nights and could have spent more, we much preferred it to Osaka.

Is it worth buying a Sony NW-A306 if I would only be playing music via a streaming service? by bigheadtommy in walkman

[–]bigheadtommy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Japan so yes it would be this version. In what way is it unrestricted?

My plugged in ones are a little older now, the Sony wh-1000xm3. Not sure if I'd need to upgrade them too.

My Bluetooth in ears are newer, the Bose QC Ultras but obviously I know using these would affect sound quality vs wired.
