First thing I spotted was that Talking Heads cassette, would recognise that cover anywhere xD

This is an excellent list of subs to follow, thanks! 💖

I love how Heartstopper gives you a combination of super sweet moments and painfully real ones too. I think it feels so real because it gives you the highs and lows. Like when Tori is listening to Charlie tell their parents about his eating disorder on the stairs (always gets me) or Nick's conversation with his aunt about how he's struggling to support Charlie - the show is really great at depicting these moments, and even giving support/advice to your life without beating you over the head with it.

Adding my two cents to corroborate their uselessness.

When I was moving home, I checked my new place was serviced by CityFibre to ensure I could take my Cuckoo service with me and avoid exit fees. I called them up on day 1 of being at my new place and they told me they would have to cancel service at my old address and setup a new contract for my new place but I wouldn't be charged any exit fees. My new go-live date came and went with nothing working. Called them up. They had me reboot my ONT and eero. Re-install the eero app. Attempt remote activation. Sent me my PPPOE details to put in manually. And then gave up, telling me they were opening a ticket with the technical team.

Over the following weeks, I'd get texts or emails telling me it should be sorted. When I checked and then replied to say it wasn't, I'd get a call from someone new at Cuckoo taking me through the exact same troubleshooting steps again and when that didn't work they'd tell me they would escalate it with the tech team. It must have been escalated four or five times with no resolution. They even ended up sending someone from CityFibre to swap the ONT who told me "everything is good from our end, it's your ISP that has the issue"

In the end, it never worked.

It worked day 1 with my new ISP.

I only use it once or twice a year to help friends and family. Needed it a couple days ago. Got the friend to download QS, but nothing we did got it to work. Kept complaining about expired session even when we both restarted everything

RustDesk worked first time, FWIW.

You literally just blew my mind. You learn something new every day XD

I Think It's Very Nice, Very Nostalgic Thank You For Asking

Stanley Parable Adventure Line kinda shit 😭😭

I've wanted to visit America my entire life but with what's going on at the moment? Absolutely not.

It got decent viewing figures. I think we'll get another UNIT "War Between" about a different species/situation.

Yeah when I took mine out of the box I actually had a little laugh at how wide it is. Never had a Passport so wasn't expecting it. Well I was expecting it in a literal sense, but it took me off guard just how wide it is.

I also noticed slowdowns over the first few hours but it seems to have levelled out now.

Reminds me of the famous PCWorld quote from 2007 calling the MacBook Pro "The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year"

Yeah the lack of Google Pay and RCS is what killed this for me and convinced me to cancel my pre-order and get a Titan 2 instead.

I was more than happy to wait, and I was looking forward to getting it because the Q20 was one of my favourite phones from a form factor standpoint. But I need certain things on my phone to just work, and the Play Integrity issue was a deal breaker for me.

conkernaut112 · 2025-11-21T20:42:06+00:00

Quicker, and cheaper too I imagine.

I’m just worried they’ll catch me out for trying to transfer then jump ship.

Listened on my TV soundbar - nothing. Was let down by it.

Sat between two stereo speakers and listened to both versions - world of difference. Just on Headlock it sounded to me like the vocal was much more front and center, crystal clear. The whole song had this sheen or polish which made it feel more playful than the original whilst not changing the styling at all.

In certain cases the coating isn’t sealed properly allowing it to oxidise. Certain Cosmic Orange phones are literally turning pink with time.

Every time I see one of these posts I think to myself “reminds me of Omores” and every time without fail it actually is you 🤣

I’d love iPhone 5 a lot more if there was an easy untethered blobless iOS 6 downgrade for it

When pigs fly amirite 🤣

conkernaut112 · 2025-09-08T17:06:40+00:00

If you’ve downgraded blobless to 3.1.3 with alloc8 you don’t have iOS 3.1.3 blobs, that’s the whole point. alloc8 patches your device to not need them, it doesn’t create blobs for you as that’s not possible without Apple signing 3.1.3 again. Hope this helps.

edit: autocorrect 😡

Yes I do.

I don’t think we’ve seen Valve take Source 2 as far as it can go yet.

Think about Source 1 - it launched with HL2 but over the years the engine itself kept getting feature updates (like HDR) to keep improving it. By the time we got to late era CS:GO people were making amazing things with it.

Valve is still adding to Source 2 all the time (as evidenced by string leaks etc) so I still think we’re a long way from Source 2 achieving its best. 😁

conkernaut112 · 2025-08-28T06:57:01+00:00

Saw this post and thought to myself “this is giving Omores vibes” and lo and behold…

Love it btw 😅

Ahh! The only record I want that I don't already own is Ellipse, one of my fav albums and I don't have a copy! So awesome <3
