Tech questions that don't deserve their own thread (1 Viewer)

I wonder if they will drop the 10 further? Or else if the 11 will be significantly more expensive? There doesn't seem much point having both at similar price points.
I would imagine when 11 drops the 10 will be discounted a couple of hundred OR they will overprice the 11 and then even it out when another Pro/Air comes.
 
They can't really drop the 10 that much, can they? It's already £349 (with slightly better deals) here. I'd be surprised if it goes below £300 considering you can still get the 9 for only a little less than that. I suspect they will overprice the 11, as you say. And in which case, I'm more inclined to go for the 10, particularly if I see a decent deal.
 
I meant to say a couple of dollars because it’s only a couple of hundred. Sorry just woke up lol
 
@Diddy - what camera do you use for your YouTube content?
I have been summoned

I use a DJI Mobile camera (although my app seems to call it an OSMO Pocket now), a little handheld stick thing. It’s good and a lot cheaper than GoPro but it still gets on my tits occasionally.
That’s for out and about videos anyway. At home I just use an OSMO mobile gimbal thing that I clip my phone into. But I don’t recommend it because it’s heavy to carry and always seems a bit wonky
 
I don't have a decent phone. It's a Redmi 10 and is working fine so I don't fancy buying a new one.

Is the DJI Pocket 2 any good?
Oh I think it was the DJI Pocket 1 I have. The 2 looks like it has a nipple on it, I wonder if it can zoom (mine can’t :()
 
What is Mopsie verdict on robot vacuum cleaners/mops and robot window cleaners? Do you own either? Are they worth it? Or do you still have to clean everything the traditional way after they are done? 🤔

My hoover/mop combo has been LIFE CHANGING.

It's not as good as doing it properly yourself, but given that I am a lazy sod who barely cleaned anyway it's a vast improvement.
 
Why does my iPhone randomly switch to send SMS messages rather than iMessage, even when I have data? It’s started happening ever since I switched networks to EE in December.

When I go to Settings, I see iMessage has turned itself off, and then the phone number to “register” is the original one associated with the SIM card, rather than my actual number from the PAC code. I didn’t even put the SIM card in the phone until I got the confirmation of the switch over.

Then I’ll check again a few hours later and it’s back to normal. WEIRD.

It might be something to do with the quality of the data connection you've got at the time.
 
It’s just that I switched to EE to avoid shit data connections. Even with my shit data signal on Three, this didn’t happen before.
The networks all have poor areas of reception. I find O2 solid everywhere apart from around London Bridge - it just never works properly around there.

Powering down your phone is always a good strategy if it starts playing up with anything.
 
Three was dreadful anywhere in Central London, and strangely had a random dark spot exactly round the corner from where I live. EE now apparently has zero signal whenever I go near a major supermarket.

EE is a total deadzone down near my house in the countryside. My Mum used to go outside and wave her phone around in the air to get a signal whenever she came round. She ended up switching to O2 just because of that.

In Dulwich though, she doesn't have a problem.
 
I’m on three because I live in practical countryside and it has better reception than the others, but yes i remember Three being dirt when I lived there, and the phone is fucking useless when I visit, I have to hop from wifi to WiFi wherever I’m going!

It’ll definitely be your data temporarily dropping, the phone likes to be clever and optimise your connection by doing things you didn’t ask it to do, to minimize how much you notice the drop. They obviously don’t anticipate such things as the phenomenon of central
London overcrowding blocking all signals. Or maybe they still haven’t mastered the technology to deal with it. It’s like when you’re at a festival - no connection, too many people.
 
Like when all the lines are blocked at midnight on New Years.
That I GET. It’s when providers don’t even acknowledge there are dark spots with no signal at all. They always say it’s an overload of the network, but I don’t think that random road in a non-commercial area at 6am on a Tuesday counts.
 
They don’t acknowledge ANYTHING EVER :D

Three had a total outage last week for most of the day and the website gave NO updates. The network status just kept saying no problem. Then they put out a tweet hours later saying something like “we’ve heard about a small problem affecting a limited number of users and we’re working hard to fix it” and they got SLATED for it! The independent websites were tracking tens of thousands of customers affected across the country and it made the news!

Fucking idiots.
