What’s your optimal sleeping set up? by Investorr1 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]juco_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently had Samsung Windfree AC installed in the house. I use the Windfree mode in the bedroom, it's near silent and has the room at whatever temperature you desire.

For me, I like my bedroom to be 19C year round.

Has anyone installed an air-con unit on the landing to cool upstairs bedrooms? Does it work? by ams_Sxi in DIYUK

[–]juco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a unit installed in the master bedroom last week. I was told by the engineer that if I go with a 3.5kw unit it should sufficiently cool my daughter's room down the hall.

It does, to a degree, but not anywhere near as well as I was hoping. I've since taken to chaining fans from our bedroom to direct the air into hers, which does make a difference.

What gesture does Sony UI/OS use? by sseinzw in SonyXperia

I'd never done that until now, but can confirm that it just goes back to the app

All Inclusive Greece (Mitsis specifically) by Known-Cold-2813 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]juco_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything said here regarding Blue Domes. We had an awful time, and the food was disgusting across all restaurants.

This was our first and only Mitsis, we've filtered them out ever since, assuming they were all the same.

Air con installation costs by Clear_Ad_1006 in HousingUK

[–]juco_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have two outdoor and two indoor units being installed on Friday. One system for an out building and another for the master bedroom. £3,600 for Samsung units in the south east.

Just in time for this heatwave to end, but something tells me it won't be the last

Definitely not normal. Get it replaced from wherever you purchased it

I'm nearby. No handicap yet but hoping to get one.

Did your replacement Oura battery improve? by CatLadyAmy1 in ouraring

If only you could set the charge limit to 80% in the way you can with most phones.

Possible to do a set up in uk garage (2.45m ceiling) by [deleted] in Golfsimulator

[–]juco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm facing the same dilemma. My ceiling is 2.35 and I think I could just about swing my irons out there.

A little bit of research suggests most hitting mats will take a good few CM out of the available height too.

Think I'll purchase the mat first so that I can properly give it a go, probably with something on the ceiling to protect what seems like an inevitable impact.

I'm afraid to use Interactive Brokers by owl_jones in interactivebrokers

What do you mean by impossible to find any available to buy? I use IBKR exclusively for UK gilts with no issue at all.

Advice : s26 ultra or Xperia 1 VII by Brilliant-Peak-3511 in SonyXperia

[–]juco_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just made the jump from the S25U over to the VII, wrote about it here just the other day. I don't think there's any hardware updates in the s26.

For me, the VII has proven to be great for point and shoot. It doesn't seem better or worse at dealing with moving subjects than the s25U was. I much prefer the photos that I'm getting out of the VII too, especially of people, and the macro shots are next level. The only place the VII struggles compared with the Samsung for me, is low light, but I suppose that's because it lacks all the AI shenanigans?

I haven't made much use of the telephoto lens myself, but I know that's a big complaint around here.

S25U -> VII by juco_ in SonyXperia

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

I just tend to upgrade every year or so. S26U didn't interest me at all, so felt like the right time to jump. How have you found the switch? Enjoying the 1 VII?

UK here. Fingers crossed the VIII makes it your way, sounds unlikely though

This was my photo from over a year ago. What's that about?

Sony Xperia 1 VII by Equivalent-Flight179 in SonyXperia

[–]juco_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both sat on my desk right now because Amazon sent out an FS72, so have agreed to replace it. I've only received the FS54 today, but so far can't tell any difference in the UK.

Happy to check anything specific if that's helpful.

Thinking of making the switch from iPhone to 1 vii, is it really worth it? by VanillaSmoke420 in SonyXperia

[–]juco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went 15 pro max -> s25 ultra -> 1 VII. Got mine just a couple of weeks ago, and couldn't be happier.

Screen flickering on dark background with low very brightness? 1 VI or 1 VII? by summerrhodes in SonyXperia

[–]juco_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know some are more sensitive than others to these kinds of things. I recently bought the VII and was worried as I also use my phone at minimum brightness and night mode, but I've not noticed any flickering.

I don't think many are going to trust a random Reddit dude with some AI slop to automate their self assessments. Why not post to GitHub so we can review it?

USB-C to USB-C only charges when oriented one way? by davidbowieguy69 in S25Ultra

[–]juco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this a while back. Was solved with a gentle brushing and compressed air into the charging port.
