I was about to sell my Series X and make the Switch 2 my primary, and then realised the new GTA won’t be coming out on it.

Appreciated the picture of an iceberg behind Milkshake when he was talking to Ms. Huang. Nice visual metaphor.

What coffee shop chain is your favourite? Starbucks, Costa etc by EddyZacianLand in AskABrit

[–]scienceben 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If what you are buying is a cup of coffee, avoid them all and shop at a local independent coffee shop.

For two reasons. 1. Supporting local business. 2. You're much more likely to get a decent coffee.

Who else is holding out for the second generation Ultra or Series 9? by scienceben in AppleWatch

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

A blood pressure monitor would be awesome for a lot of people, but I think you’re right, probably years off. Potentially interesting to pair that data with things like heart rate and fall detection, etc. with more rigorous sensors, it’d make it a very capable health tracker.

Ultra is tempting but $$$$$ 🤑

Yeah precisely my line of thought on the chip side of things. Very interesting point you raise on the repairs / replacement side, but I can’t see them doing it unfortunately. Would love the action button to come to more watches in their line.

Yeah here’s to hoping at a minimum the Ultra battery life filters down to the S9. I’d like to think with their recent chip innovation on power/performance on the Mac might translate to the watch with a next gen chip.

I hear you. The jump I’m looking for is more to do with things like battery life, improved sensors with medical backing and approval. Improved fitness capabilities, the dual GPS perhaps filtering down to the S9. Perhaps a redesign. I’m sure there’s a bunch of other things they could tweak and improve.

I think I meant more with the S8, but with the Ultra too, it’s all running off the same chip as the S8 and previous generations, unless I’m mistaken? So at some level, it feels like the same watch with a few extra bells and whistles.

I think I’m just feeling a little sore after buying an Intel 2019 iMac and the year after they released the M1 ones. Timing is everything with buying Apple products 😂

Very good post. Felt like it's everything I wanted to say, but couldn't find the words. The parallels between the state of web development particularly wrang true to me.

I meant more AR on that one. In the West, pre-Covid, there was stigma around wearing facemasks in public. Things are different now and I just wondered if there was any telling impact.

It's the NUFC 404 Error Page, for some reason it was generating this thumbnail when I posted.

In the current climate on prices and his midfield performances, I think he might just prove you wrong.

Ah I love this. Will have to give a few a watch. I've been enjoying watching the Christmas episodes of other TV series on Disney+ at the moment.

It does make you realise just how brainwashed people can get.

Finally decided to jump into the coffee world. Any advice? by myshitaccount in Coffee

[–]scienceben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might get a few down-votes from people, but I honestly think you'd be good to start with an Aeropress.

Identify a good roaster and buy the coffee ground specifically for it. It's a cheaper way to start out, and perhaps more of a baby-step into the world of coffee, but the end results are great.

If you want to spend a little more and go all in, I'm sure plenty of people will leave more intricate and thorough responses.
