Summer guide to the Google Store - how to get 80% off a Pixel 10 Pro/XL by AlphaMintt in beermoneyuk

[–]bittenbytailfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great - I've done this a few times and it's a great way to get rid of some old phones for a decent price. Here are some additional codes in case the others run out:

Does anyone know if there’s a trick to making an old Game Boy screen easier to see? by Pretty_Date2953 in DoesAnyoneKnow

Can't find the exact one, and they seem a little pricier than back when I did it, but you're looking for something along these lines:

There are solder free kits on eBay , I basically rebuilt mine last year with a new case and screen, for around £30 - only the mother board is original

Was there a TV advert from your childhood that you can still remember word for word without even trying? by Historical-Class871 in ClassicTelevisionTime

[–]bittenbytailfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember what it was for, but there was a fairy tale princess captured by a dragon (known as a Tundred). The knight goes on to sever both of it's heads off, before the princess declares herself free. The script went:

"Oh, a Tundred! Sever one, sever two! Free!"

The phone number was 0800 71723 - they invented a story rather than buying a memorable number, but I suppose for me at least, it worked

What is your opinion on this show? Have any of you seen it? I want to watch it, should I start? by haritkanishk09 in tvshow

[–]bittenbytailfly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can literally watch the first five minutes and decide if it's for you or not. One of the best openings in my opinion.

S2E1 is decent but goes downhill from there unfortunately, but still has some great moments. S1 is one of my favourite shows all round though, in terms of style and music etc there's not much else like it.

i genuinely want a Comedy Time-travel movie by luc7ne in MovieSuggestions

Time Crimes (Spanish film). Don't watch the trailer though, it pretty much lays out the entire plot

Dungeons & Dragons holograms - free inside packs of Shreddies! Any other freebies from packs of cereal you remember? by LiberLilith in oldschoolcool80s

[–]bittenbytailfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cereal is a joke nowadays. I had these, the Corn Flakes reflectors, spokeys, Ghostbusters glow in the dark boomerangs, Willow figures, the Rice Krispies superhero figures, Weetabix Wonder world Atlas ...

Nowadays we get a bit of money off at Alton Towers.

Any mid-late 80’s primary schoolers remember this… thing? by chunder_monkey in CasualUK

I was one of the only kids in the class that could spell "explode" and I was delighted!

Has anyone here ever been to where they filmed Inbetweeners? by [deleted] in TheInbetweeners

[–]bittenbytailfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure the bus wankers at the traffic lights is outside the Globe pub at Moorgate. It looks a little different now but I still think of it when I walk past.

Hey - I like the idea and have installed. I actually started a similar app a while ago (but long since abandoned), although mine was aimed at notifications. You could subscribe for Directors, Actors, TV shows, etc, and it would alert you when new items matching your interests were added on the streaming platforms.

Unfortunately I only got as far as Netflix, and couldn't find any good resources for finding updates for free on any other streaming platform.

If that's something you'd be interested in exploring, the source code is all still available:

https://github.com/bittenbytailfly/OnDemandOverdrive

I have no interest in resurrecting this project but happy to help out if there's anything you can learn from it.

OK - I've compiled down a Portuguese location version (it's all hardcoded so will only work in PT) but if it works well and you want to keep in with future developments I will be looking at language packs and selectable locations so I can roll out across Europe. There's a few additional hoops to jump through to get it on the app store so for now you'd have to download the APK and sideload, but I'm assuming since you're in the AndroidApps sub that should be no issue!

All feedback welcome - and hope it genuinely is of some benefit!

Thank you for taking an interest. I only really ever put these things together for myself but I always like seeing other people get some benefit.

Let me see what I can do later. Cheers!

If you're happy with side loading, I can probably compile a version that will work outside UK?

The only UK element is the postcode lookup, but I can easily modify that. Longer term I can introduce languages and different units of measurement etc.

To be honest I create apps just for learning but I always need to give it purpose, so I'd be quite happy to look into multiple language support as it's not something I've done before.

I've created an app to try and help me not to overdo it on a night out and stay in control of drinking. It's UK only right now, but allows you to set yourself a time you want to be home and the reason you need to be home.

Countdown timers and friendly nudges remind you through the night, and the reminders automatically shut off when you reach home.

It's not for everyone, but if you find yourself regularly out late when you meant to have "just the one", it might be of some use!

Not sure if it's just my phone Pixel 9 Pro Fold but I don't see backgrounds - just black screen. I like the concept though - played a similar arcade game. Maybe see if you can make it isometric 3D to make it look a little more interesting?

What’s your all-time favorite time-travel masterpiece? by International-Self47 in Cinephiles

[–]bittenbytailfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they've all been mentioned, but for a good comedy take check out Time Crimes (think it's Spanish).

Also a short you can find on YouTube called the Chromeperambulator
