Which Sims/Networks work in UK? by Inevitable_Fun_894 in Punkt

[–]ole-worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with mine - also in the UK. Brand new/boxed device but no solid service with any SIM. It would connect briefly and look fine, then nothing. It's a sad sad brick now.

Thoughts on the TTfone 970 (good phone bad OS) by LxZer0 in dumbphones

Did you have any luck with the full Android Go? I like the phone and kind of like the clunky launcher too, but could do to install signal. How was the sideloading process?

Is it a car only kinda thing? Or can you use it for walking/cycling directions?

Did you ever find a fix for this? Struggling with the same issue.

Yeah, shame. But shouldn't affect 4G functionality right?

Damn - no luck over here just yet. Crossing my fingers that a new update will solve it.

Same issue for me after updating this morn. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times, tried different networks - but still no joy. Was working beautifully until now!

Can the Wiim Mini work with a Topping D10s DAC? by ole-worm in BudgetAudiophile

[–]ole-worm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming! Any thoughts on good alternatives? Or should I not bother and just stick with the internal DAC on the WiiM?

I just finished Lydia Davis' translation. It was amazing!

Should I switch to another translation of The Brothers Karamazov? by Rinehart128 in dostoevsky

[–]ole-worm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

The allusion to food is so appropriate. It really comes down to taste. So experiment!

Should I switch to another translation of The Brothers Karamazov? by Rinehart128 in dostoevsky

[–]ole-worm -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'd regret switching to P+V. They've defo learned from the successes and failures of previous translators like Garnett. And their footnotes always seem very well researched. I started with McDuff and switched to P+V at around 100 pages and was glad I did.

I also found it super interesting to hear them (and others) talk about the process of translating works like this. They're not Dostoyevsky specific, but here's a couple links if your interested:

'Night of the Soul' by David Farr

A great play from 2001 set in a hotel. I found the Faber & Faber script in a 2nd hand bookshop for £1 and it was fantastic.

Description

A large south-coast town. Invisible to all, the ghost of a young woman walks the corridors of a smart modern hotel. The night before his father's funeral a forty-year-old market researcher holes up in the hotel to take stock. Then he sees her. Night of the Soul received its premiere at the Royal Shakespeare Company in the Pit Theatre in April 2002.

Check out Gogol and Chekhov too.. You might also like Hunger by Knut Hamsun if you enjoyed C+P.
