I have a new phone, a #OpenPlus Open. The camera is quite spectacular. I took this last night.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately they don't come with a charger included in the UK. However I'm now rather tempted by the OnePlus Open 😁

@techspurtvideo.bsky.social Hey man, just watched your OnePlus 13 review, seriously considering updating from my OnePlus 9 pro but I'm confused about the new charging speed options. The 13 doesn't seem to come with a charger. Will it charge on a Qi pad? What speed will a standard charger give?

Our new van with the door slid open, putting the "O" from Octopus in front of the "rgy" of Energy. Oops.

Hello Bluesky 👋👋👋👋🐙👋👋👋👋

A lot of customers have asked us to swim our way over here, so we're dipping our tentacles in.

Give us a follow, we'll be floating around to chat all things green & geeky, make energy fairer, and own up to van printing disasters:

My thought for this Tuesday ☕️☕️☕️

Now they're ganging up on me, even the Working Joe's !! 👽🤖

I've read Snow Crash, read and absolutely loved The Diamond Age. Lots of catching up to do. Currently trying an Agatha Christie for a change 😁

There's certainly *a lot* going on in Some Desperate Glory. The reviews were very mixed but I'm glad I read it. Repeated exposure to Marvel helped with the Multiverse content 😁

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

I've been playing Alien Isolation on #Switch for a few weeks, it's a great game but it's good to finally have some defence against the 👽

Huge fan of Philip K Dick, Bruce Sterling and William Gibson but recently read Some Desperate Glory and really enjoyed it. I guess I need to find more modern authors. Any suggestions?

Good to see you here

Just used it and bought the guy a coffee. Great tool very easy to use.

It's a skill knowing exactly where not to stand 😁

My wife's an artist based in St Ives, Cornwall. UK. At the age of 14 she left school to become an apprentice 'paintress' (this was before equal ops was a thing, the men were called painters) at world renowned Royal Doulton. At this time of year she revisits her origins and paints festive baubles.

I like the ability to add alt text to images.

A sunny landscape photograph, showing a hilly country scene with a wooden 'five bar' gate in the foreground and another at a slightly odd angle a little further away. In the distance can be seen a white house.

I took this photo years ago, in fact it was decades! 2005 to be exact. I used a real camera, y'know a device which just records images, didn't do anything else, connect to the internet GPS nothing. A Pentax Optio S. f5.3, 1/250 if you're interested.

I still think it's rather good.

Thanks, still trying to find out way around.

@bsky.app Just joined, as has my wife, she wanted to post a video but kept getting an error I managed a different file. It seems #Bluesky only supports 1:1 format video is this correct?

Yay! was just starting to worry there wasn't going to be any good EV chat over here on Bluesky. Also EV3 does look nice but prefer my EV6

If you have the AUDACITY to play video games on "easy" or "story" mode...

I want you to know that I think that's a perfectly acceptable way to enjoy a video game that you paid for because you're supposed to enjoy your favorite pastime any way you like.

Real life's hard enough. Enjoy your hobby.👍
