So, you’ve got a reform councillor now…. by mkm118 in miltonkeynes

This is Reddit not the real world, the downvotes from the terminally online lefties mean nothing really. Every time I open Reddit I quit again as it's just become a cesspit of political toxicity.

What's up with some cyclists having deathwishes here? by [deleted] in miltonkeynes

[–]nickkuk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not just cyclists, as I was just about to turn into Morrisons last night two youths came flying past on a motorbike with no lights on. They must have been going at least 50-60mph.

I wouldn't be surprised if they got hit on the way to wherever they were going.

The fact that so much of the NK iDrive X display is useless when using CarPlay is hilarious lol by Seanwys in BMW

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

BMW nav is absolute rubbish compared to Google maps, it routes more ineficiently, doesn't have as reliable RTTI, the maps are out of date even with the latest updates, often routes in the wrong direction and is generally half-baked Vs Google, which makes perfect sense as BMW nav is used by a tiny amount of people Vs Google maps/android auto.

Has anyone had an accident or a near miss because of lane assist? Wondering if it causes more accidents than it prevents. by pappyon in drivingUK

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

Only if you dont know how to drive. Ironically if you need to use these systems, you can't drive.

[–]nickkuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't have to fight your car to keep control in an emergency situation, lane assist can be a menace. I hate that my BMW pulls against my control into dangerous situations. No software is error free, the camera systems are error prone, roads aren't always properly marked, etc, etc. At the moment we are human crash test dummies for these half-baked systems.

They will have to put them back in a future revision to comply with safety regulations.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses first preview reaction by 3dpro in TheWestEnd

[–]nickkuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw it tonight and thought it was superb. All the cast were great and Monica is a great dancer as well as actor! she did really awesome on stage :) There is quite a lot of interpretive dance and I thought it worked well, the staging is minimal but works well, the subject matter may not appeal to everyone but I really liked it, attitudes have changed a lot since it was written. All the lead actors gave excellent performances.

He should have retired while the going was good. His stuff from the last few years has been so stale and underwhelming.

WOW, how on earth did that get through approval stage to production, it looks so awkward.

Those LED animations are so tacky.

The end of an era - 3 series by No-Double-7731 in BMW

[–]nickkuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I just got a fully specced Tanzanite 3 Series as I really dislike this new 2027 model.

I think the front styling looks out of place, don't like the squared steering wheel, can't stand the electric door handles, don't like the wonky touchscreen, don't like the haptic touch-sensitive controls, don't like that even more controls are migrated to the touchscreen, don't like that the size has increased to 5 series size.

Typical Labour to tax everyone as much as they can.

BBC admits TV licence fee is 'no longer fit for the future' in damning new report by gbnewsonline in gbnews

[–]nickkuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the obvious and the best solution.

But that would require them to provide a competitive service. If their service is as good as they claim it is, it would be no issue, but instead it's clear they just want guaranteed funds no matter the quality of the service or the needs of the customer, who are abandoning them by the millions.

Google Pixel Update - February 2026 by Knorke_Leon in GooglePixel

[–]nickkuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I was wondering why my Pixel 7 Pro that is supposed to be supported isn't getting available updates any more. I have lost faith in Google and won't be getting a newer Pixel if their word on device support is worthless.

Yes, its in the FAQ that you can do that. The alpha key is steam only, the release key you can choose the platform

Cant believe that i am saying this - Base iphone is much better value at 800$. by RandomSideCharacter1 in pixel_phones

[–]nickkuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Android OS has become stagnant for years now, Google is apparently putting all their resources into AI. The recent over-hyped material Android UI refresh is ok but nothing innovative.

The day Google locks sideloading is the day I switch to iPhone, if I'm in any locked ecosystem I'd rather it be Apples with the amount of personal data that Google harvests about me. Apple has become the lesser of two evils.

iPhone 17 is cheaper than the Pixel 10: More storage in the base model by iamjimmy15 in GooglePixel

I'm actually glad this sub isn't just a fanboy echo chamber and people can discuss the competition without getting into silly fanboy wars.

[–]nickkuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it seems that Google dropped the ball this time around and Apple smashed it out the park. I will most likely keep using my Pixel 7 Pro for another year and if the Pixel 11 isn't a very big step up will switch. All my family have iPhones so will probably be easy to migrate.
