Yes!! Thought I was just being picky, but I hate it. It’s not simple like it used to be, it’s faffy. Several occasions now ive ‘started’ a workout, only to finish it 20 mins later and it’s not actually even started. The software designers seem intent on ruining everything at the moment.

I *never* want to use a digital key card for a game. If I’m spending AAA money on a first party fam, I want it physical. This is a bad move IMO.

Yeah, it is. All the good managers are still in their jobs, all the unsuccessful managers are floating between different clubs every 6 months. Be a shock if Wolves go down. We’re never a Prem. quality club, but better than League 1. We’ll see.

Well, I’m not keen on any that have been rumoured so far-fans want Farke back by all accounts. I’d have him again but only when he was successful 😂

We’re getting the girls their first iPad & Pencil for Xmas this year (joint pressie) & am getting ProCreate for them: but I do have the Affinity iPad app bundled with my V2 License, so am going to give them a shot to see how they fare. Never replace the desktop app though!

Ok. Maybe I was a little harsh. I just remember seeing Wolves on MOTD week after week, getting worse & worse under GON. NCFC have a habit of signing sacked managers & expecting results. We need results & fast: fans response seem positive but I wasn’t sold. We’re 2nd from bottom so need progress!

Championship club shortlist Gary O'Neil for vacant job days after ex-Wolves boss made Molineux u-turn Norwich City have shortlisted Gary O'Neil as a potential replacement for Liam Manning - a week after he looked set to make a sensational return to Wolves.

@bigbluewolf.bsky.social What would your thoughts be on him running Norwich after his disastrous end with Wolves? I mean, we’ll be lucky to stay in the Championship at this rate, but when I saw he was in contention, my reaction was “Oh FFS”.

What a load of garbage. iPod Socks = Yes. This? = no, no, no. For that money, I could buy an old iPod, whack an SSD in it, buy some original iPod Socks and not look like a complete twat.

Picked up this from Nintendo this week, arrived today: genuine Nintendo Bluetooth SNES controller. Not been in stock for around 18 months, and not paying eBay scalper prices… Felt just like 1992 all over again! Nice playing ‘retro’ titles on ‘original’ hardware…

As long as it doesn’t change into yet another subscription service… I have Apple One and pay a premium for all these extras, if they add another tier on to that I’ll be really pissed.

I’ve had 2 x Mac Mini’s in the last 18 Months-a 2023 M2, and now an M4. The M4 was a decent spec bump so I replaced whilst the M2 was under a year old. Always had iMacs (apart from my first G4 iBook!), and have to say, wish I’d have made the decision sooner! Great little device!

Yeah, I get it. I’ve got some really cool models in the loft all broken down and bagged/boxed which is a shame, but they’re so big, or there are so may, can’t justify having them out. Shame!

I do get that things evolve, and you have to move past Steve’s passing. But, even I’m finding it hard to defend some of Apples recent choices. I feel the departure of Ive was the last part of Steve’s legacy that was able to maintain what Steve had created.

Sad times, but sometimes it has to happen! I sold loads of Lego earlier this year, my collection is at a point where it can’t be whittled down any more; what is left is here forever!

I’m on V2 but also wary. I use it occasionally for personal work, but I like the fact I’ve paid and downloaded for the suite and I have access to all its features. Sick of paywalls and subscriptions for, literally, everything.

Good to see Norwich are just as consistent now as back then… 🙄

That’s really poor. I noticed a change in my asthma about 2 weeks ago, Docs lines open at 8am-I’m already at work then, so can’t wait in a massive queue, so have to try on my break (which I don’t usually get), so when I call at 4:30, all appts are gone. 2 weeks this has been going on. Ridiculous.

That’s not too bad I guess. My wife updated to iOS26 and we had more hassle setting AirTags back up than anything else.

How did you get on in the end? I transferred from my old iPhone to the new one, took about an hour. The only apps I had to sign back into were my Banking apps, everything else stayed logged in.

No. I love how they’ve evolved.

I just traded in my 15PM which was set to 80% from launch day (occasionally setting to 100% if I was on a trip the next day). 380-ish cycles, 95%. First setting I changed on my 17PM.

Agreed. Granted, I’ve only had mine since Saturday, but it’s spent as much time out of the case as in it, in my pocket etc: not a mark so far (Cosmic Orange). You just look after it as it is a four figure device!

Don’t like the new layout for Workouts-and the setting to start media playing when you start a specific workout doesn’t work. Just like lots of this os26 stuff.

I love this game so much. I’m **still** wandering around places I’ve never been before. I’ve been near here for a Shrine, but never explored it. Like a new game all over again! May ‘23 I got this, still playing, still love it just as much. #totk #zelda #nintendo #TearsoftheKingdom

If he had conscious thought to realise how amazing he looked, I’m sure he’d think differently 😂
