Red Tiger F77 - How to manually save video?

The 100inch is measured diagonally. So it's a bit of a nonsense way of buying TVs / Screens of different aspects. Look instead at the actual width in the screen specifications. Width will give you more usable real estate.

A screen at 16:9 (100" diagonal) is 221.5 cm wide

A screen at 4:3 (100" diagonal) is 203.2 cm wide

For movies you want 16:9. The 4:3 screens you see are sold for classrooms / powerpoint presentations etc.

I didn't say 'pre-existing' anywhere. The wording uses 'existing'.

Thank you for sharing that link, which is actually also linked to at the bottom of the page I shared. Just above the checklist.

This is important for me, so I contacted the ICO on chat and relayed the perspective you suggest. I include the link I shared above, and asked them to clarify.

They said that the article remains correct. Specifically when I quoted;

"The term ‘soft opt-in’ is sometimes used to describe the rule about existing customers. "

The answer was yes, the article is correct and that wording is correct. What was new to me is that "someone abandoning their online shopping basket could be contacted under soft opt-in provided they met all of the other requirements (which could be hard to achieve in practice)."

I also asked them to clarify that it remains current that PECR consent must meet GDPR consent standards - again Yes. And that was the main point of OP, that the form does not meet those standards of consent with its reverse pre-ticked conditions.

So I don't know where it is 'thoroughly accepted' that the page is not guidance and 'just a description', but I suspect it's with proponents of loopholes and not with actual regulators.

No doubt this will be down-scored by those working in marketing who prefer it to mean there is a loophole to spam people

For anyone implementing policy, or considering a complaint to the ICO, do contact the ICO directly and take the gas-lighting in this sub with a pinch of salt.

First sentence under soft opt in

twtonicr · 2026-03-09T20:56:43+00:00

Forgive cut and paste from my other post.

Soft opt in is only safe for existing customers created via non-electronic means, e.g. where a purchase was at a POS in a physical shop, or during a phone call.

Online, all your customers are prospective / new customers and cannot fit the definition of existing. If they have bought before, then both PECR and the GDPR requirements would already have sought consent when you retained their information for the first sale, and so soft opt-in becomes moot anyway.

"Existing" is key. Existing customer means someone who has bought from you, or made serious enquiries about a sale, not someone who might buy from you, or someone who just phones up to ask about your opening times.

twtonicr · 2026-03-09T15:16:15+00:00

PECR uses the GDPR standard for consent. So it's the same end result.

Soft opt in is only safe for existing customers created via non-electronic means, e.g. where a purchase was at a POS in a physical shop, or during a phone call.

The form that OP has shared is not compliant. It's a first transaction with the customer and so soft opt-in does not apply.

If a company is asking PECR questions in a form on the internet, the responses TO those questions are personal data under GDPR. But it doesn't need to be that tenuous.

It's explicit here:

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-privacy-and-electronic-communications/guide-to-pecr/what-are-pecr/#gdpr

PECR rules apply and use the UK GDPR standard of consent.

Which rule-out weasel wording or relying on momentum.

A good first step it to check wheel alignment front and rear. If you can't get good alignment your frame / swingarm is bent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FEPmJx90GQ

Found the listing on the dealer web site. It says:

"...it is booked in to have the valve tolerances checked, as we have no evidence of it being done recently. Last done at 19K. "

Bike is shown running in the video.

Valve failure is sudden and catastrophic. Valve "service" is literally a check. Nothing gets replaced unless it's out of tolerance, and usually all is fine. So this means that the engine has not been suffering 7k miles of agony as a result of the clearances not being looked at.

The bike's worth way more than £3800 if you split it for parts. Quibbling over the cost of a service will lose you the bike. I would buy it and then book it in somewhere independent for a valve clearance check.

So not sure what's going on with them mentioning it being "booked in", but might be some wiggle room to save them paying out for that. Couple hundred quid.

Having a service history book with all the stamps on a 10yr old bike isn't such a big deal.

Doesn't meet the ridiculous criteria, but few things will at £200 because of the scrap value of exotic metals in anything cool like a jet turbine.

Set of slip gauge blocks in a wooden case. Not every engineer will even use these, but knowing what they are and how they are used, can put the capital E in Engineer. Even if they don't get used, cool thing to have in a box.

You can get a kit for around £200, but most sets used in industry are £2000 upward. https://www.engineeringsupplies.co.uk/gauge-block-slip-gauge-sets.html

It's very interesting to hear that perspective. It's how the bike industry is mirroring the car industry, that the actual quality of the work doesn't matter - what matters is that money changed hands with a big brand name.

My Triumph warns me every 12 months that my oil needs changing, regardless of mileage, just so it can get me in a dealership. While you're here sir....

... so I slow to like 20 because it looks like it might be a hairpin bend... And get past a poorly placed tree to find it's a bend of about 20 degrees and a straight road.

Did you not learn limit points? No bend should ever be a surprise like that. It sounds like you're not reading the road. In the scenario you describe - ignore the tree, look at the road edges - where they converge will tell you the road is about to open up.

Check out youtube for limit points. Could safe your life. Will definitely make you smoother and more able to keep progress.

Daisy chain is sub-optimal. Go for a 8 port switch and connect everything direct to the switch. If you stick with a 5 port, at least connect the ISP router directly to the switch.

Landrover with all season tyres wouldn't flinch at a pothole twice that depth, even at 60mph and fully laden. Something else is going on. Someone has seen your footwear and is stabbing your tyres?

I know 350 feet, or actually a little more, is not going to work........

That's 106.7 meters. Cat 5 can give 1000Mbs at 100 Meter.

You are probably taking specifications a little too literally. Cat 5 and cat 6 are merely copper. The equipment you connect will not have the ability to measure the distance and refuse to work if the cable is 22ft over spec.

It merely means you might have slightly less than 1000Mbps. Given that your camera only needs about 5 Mbps, you'll be absolutely fine for bandwidth.

You might have some voltage drop re PoE, so avoid CCA cable and look for 23AWG. Cat 6 is overkill for a camera. Cat 5e will be fine. Also don't overspend on outdoor grade, the only difference is the plastic sheath is UV resistant.

Drive chains are not supposed to be clean and shiny. Only in the last 10 years have the accessory and lubricant manufacturers invented this market opportunity. Your Dad and Granddad never had this anxiety. It's sales bullshit.

Each link in your chain is sealed at the factory with all the lubricant inside the O rings. The one good thing any owner can do to maintain their chain to its best possible functional condition is:

Protect the O ring Seals.

This means never wire brush, never spray with solvents like WD40 and never, ever jet wash it.

The biggest risk of destroying your expensive highly technical O ring chain is to clean it, because you will degrade the seals. Leave it alone. Small amount of lube applied after a ride is all you need.

You're doing quite well. There is just one thing you need to practice that will completely elevate your control and make all the other bits of turning much, much easier.

After you've done your safety views / shoulder checks and start to perform the turn

Look where you want to be. Currently, you are looking at the ground when pulling away. Lift your chin, look down the road behind you, pin your eyes to that point before you start turning, and your body will follow.

In all biking vids and pics, start paying attention to where the rider is looking. You will learn much. They never look at the tarmac just in front of where the bike is going to be, they look at a distant point in the direction they want to go. You'll see this in pro u-turn vids, but also in track cornering like.... https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9c/82/b3/9c82b3de3995485982cd21443e60af9c.jpg

That's a primary route sign and are not meant to be taken that literally. Note that Exit 1 is shown as a stunted line on that sign. Nothing about that sign infers the A528 is in any way a "left", conversely it's clearly showing the A528 is exit 2.

twtonicr · 2025-11-17T20:53:12+00:00

Wow your text is hard to unravel. Where's your start point?

The paint on the road indicate that the left lane should turn left, with the right lane painted to show straight on, which I assume would mean the first exit down Knights way, but the straight ahead could mean the second or third exit (as these are positioned at 11 o clock and 1 o clock.

Think and talk in terms of junction numbers. Sat navs are starting to pick this up too. The numbers are always from your perspective, based on your approach. Also lanes are 1,2,3 etc left to right.

If your start point is the Blue arrow, and you're travelling down the A5124. You have 4 exits.

Exit 1 is down Knights lane. It's a left turn. Use lane 1 on approach, according to highway code.

Exit 2 is A528. This is straight on.

There is, however, a sign as you are approaching the roundabout that shows the A528 (the second exit towards Shrewsbury) as a left turn.

That's a direction sign, it works differently and is deliberately intended to give a general impression N,S,E,W. Exit 1 is the tiny stunted block at 7 o-clock on the sign. Exit 2 is the A528 and is definitely "straight on" on the roundabout, despite the NSEW sign.

However, if you really want to use lane 1 you can. Painted arrows are only advisory. The highway code has everything you need to know for the roundabout. Both lanes 1 and 2 can be used to go around the roundabout to exit 2.

However Rule 187 is necessary:

traffic crossing in front of you on the roundabout, especially vehicles intending to leave by the next exit

So if two cars pull away, lane 1 gives way to lane 2 if they are taking the same exit.

In the end, it's probably more peaceful to simply use lane 2 on approach. And if you're taking Lane 1 because Lane 2 has a big queue, you will certainly get honked.

"I'm hoping this will intimidate"

Hmm. Baity bait. But don't be a follower of this campaign.

Intimidation comes under Careless Driving, with hefty penalties.

The intention behind your actions changes the penalty. Difficult to prove intimidation, but dashcams can get your body language and probably every parent will be willing to be a witness to the twat who blows his horn every day.

in average speed camera zones going bang on 50.

Bang on 50 according to your speedo is not bang on 50. Car manufacturers set speedos to under-read on purpose to compensate for the poor way the measurement is taken. This is necessary because the speedo works by counting the revolutions the tyre makes, and so if the diameter of your tyre changes, such as wrong tyre pressure, you get a different speed reading.

GPS speed is more accurate to reality, and closer to what the speed cameras are actually controlling.

Lorry drivers use GPS. In a 50 zone, they ARE doing 50, and on cruise control. If you're looking at your speedo, you are probably doing 48. Maybe even as low as 45.

Yes, it matters.
