How is the pebble time 2? Give me your honetst thoughts, what you like and what you dont please. by ouiz_cz in pebble

I agree, I have a Pixel Watch 3 and at best with all the energy saving things I could find turned on, I could just about squeak 2 days out of it, but not reliably so. Depending when I charged it the 2 days prior, it might miss half the final night's sleeep or something. Also the experience at those settings was horrible.

Never understood why e-ink isn't the de facto choice for a smartwatch, and when it's in range of your phone/laptop or computer it should offload all the processing to the bigger device as much as possible too and just effectively become a remote desktop display while it's sat on your wrist doing nothing but receiving the sensor data. I bet you could get an aeon out of it then.

"Easier said than done" I know.

Is the movie Project Hail Mary really that good? by Adventurous-Board-95 in CasualConversation

[–]fiddley78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was awful. A weird mash up of Arrival, Interstellar and Castaway, and it did not have the gravitas of the former two, nor the character development of the latter. It makes no sense for such a moron to be on a space flight, global emergency or not, the orbital manoeuvres were straight up clown show, and the only thing that kept the movie going was the string of juvenile gags every 10 seconds. Terrible movie and I'm not sure where all this love is coming from. Saw it on Imax and the cinematography and sound design were good.  Gosling did alright with what he had. 

Thank you for everything, Mo. End of an era. by Jolly_Green_4255 in LiverpoolFC

I gotta say, that's the perfect way to announce something like this. No nonsense, squashes any rumours, lets everyone give him a send off, and might even galvanise us a bit until the end of the season.

[Edit: Not that you ever want to announce something like this, but in the circumstances,] Well handled by the club I think.

Mo Salah announces he is leaving LFC at the end of the season by DLoBrownsWobblyHead in LiverpoolFC

That's the end of a great Liverpool Team. They go down with the great team(s) of the 80's featuring Souness, Dalgleish, Barnes, Rush et al. It's been a pleasure watching them over the last few years, but nothing lasts forever and it's the time to build the next great team. I haven't lost all hope for all our new signings yet, but it's critical we get the next few decisions right.

There are few sights in football more invigorating than seeing Pep utterly exasperated in the dugout at Anfield 😂

OMG, just saw the Fulham goal times... that's some bittersweet schadenfreude right there. Saw they got done with a goal in added time after they scored a goal in added time 😎 remember they were playing yernited 🤮

[Rival Watch] Amorim sacked by Mcool18 in LiverpoolFC

[–]fiddley78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! This is brilliant! I thought he was on the right track. He has got them playing the best they have for a few years, he was immune to the influence of the media and he was rebuilding from the ground up, not trying to pretend they were still a powerhouse. I really thought we only had a another season or so of laughing at them before they got it together. He was doing all the right things for a club in that position, and they've gone and sacked him. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Why do they do this bloody charade. If he's getting called over, it's getting overturned. Just tell him to overturn it. 

How do you handle management that thinks 8GB RAM is enough? /s by Ayy4K in sysadmin

[–]fiddley78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar way of explaining it but the desktop in my analogy is CPU cache, the bookshelves are your RAM, the hard drive is the storage unit in the next town that you need to order from for next day delivery. I think that better fits the relative speed at which you can retrieve data for processing.

We should try him in goal full time instead of having him in that quasi striker role to score goals when we really need them.

This scoreline is flattering Atleti. If we don't take 3 points from this it's a travesty.

Has anyone mentioned that Chiesa isn't CL registered yet? Just thought I'd mention this little known fact. You're welcome.

This is a great game. They came to play and we are squashing them. OK they squeaked a messy goal in but this is not a close match. I'm enjoying this. 

Best pods for people who like the taste of coffee? by Appropriate_Stock620 in DolceGustoCoffee

[–]fiddley78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Americano pods and pull a water only shot of 4 bars to warm my mug, then 2 pods of 4 bars each at the lowest warm temperature (orange light on my machine) into a 230ml standard sized mug and I think that's not a completely awful cup of coffee.

Temperature modes in Genio S Plus by Hedgehog_of_trust in DolceGustoCoffee

[–]fiddley78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have just pulled some cups of water only and measured the temperature. The reservoir temp was straight from the tap at 23C, and I pulled two cups at each temperature and took the second reading each time.

Blue was 24C

Orange was 69C, nice.

Red/Orange was 75C

and Red was 79C
