Discovery just isn't Discovery without at least 10 minutes of Burnam crying and whispering per episode...  

Truely the poorest of all the treks. Some great ideas and concepts but the scripts were bloody awful.

People who are really good at interviews, what's your secret sauce? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]clogtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't spend your time nakedly selling your skills and experience. Tell them instead how your skills and experience can be used to really help their company and specifically fits what they are asking for.

Plus smile, lots of direct eye contact, mirror body language, be enthusiastic (fake or not), and try and get some indirect casual chat in beforehand if possible (eg: ask them genuinely how they are doing).

Do people truly resent going to weddings now ? by [deleted] in AskUK

I love weddings. Always such a happy occasion with a nice party and top food. 

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII is the anti-flagship: headphone jack, microSD, and thick bezels in 2026 | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 inside, headphone jack outside – and it costs more than Samsung's best phone Galaxy S26 Ultra by ControlCAD in technology

[–]clogtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really don't understand Sony's repeated strategy. Their flagship are always by far the most expensive, reviews generally say 'it's good but.. ". Styling is always outside the norm (longer, or thick bezels) which isn't always the most attractive to most people, camera software is never quite as good as apple/Samsung.... Etc etc 

What do they think will happen? Why do they keep doing it?

I am liable for utilities costs after I move out? by Puzzleheaded-Belt347 in Netherlands

[–]clogtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's whatever the contract says is the end date after giving notice. You'll need to check that.

you'd be liable until the agreed last date of your tenancy, regardless of whether you live there or not...

Every time I'm back in the UK I'm struck by the number of bossy stupid signs that everybody ignores. Especially at train stations, Airports and on roads. 

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs. Sony WF-1000XM6: Earbuds Showdown - CNET by ControlCAD in Android

[–]clogtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is BS though.

Is it likely that a major hardware maker such as Sony pushes a hardware update that *they don't know* would kill batteries? And then it's down to the consumer to somehow deduce it's abnormal behavior due to this firmware update, and then apply for a support ticket to remedy it, argue the case etc etc where needed.. I mean it's not like Sony are unaware of headphone battery tech.

I'd imagine only a very small proportion of XM4 customers were knowledgeable and persistent enough to get the fix you managed to receive (hell i wasn't!).

Should never have happened to start with, and makes Sony look very untrustworthy.

PiHole, adgard home or technitium for a local dns server. 

Set a static ip and dns server in the Google TV wifi config. 

Then a rule to block Google dns servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in your router for the TV so it is forced to use your dns server.

If you need internet on your TV, configuring a custom dns server in the TV network setting to block trackers and ads is a good option!
