    Anyone getting the iPhone Duo

    The benefit isn't reducing two devices down to one it's the fact you can get the benefits of an iPad Mini in your pocket with you all the time which is something an iPad Mini cannot give you. I'm on my third folding phone now due to age, despite frequent comments about the phones not lasting...

    The US Grand Prix

    I find it funny as they'll say a driver made a massive mistake on a corner in qualifying that's lost them a number of places....however it will be a slight twitch in the steering wheel to correct some oversteer which loses them a couple of tenths but it's all so close that it genuinely does lose...

    Very similar Adobe alternatives, the ArtCraft apps

    Yes that was my point - there's much more to the software than the actual program itself, this idea that all commercial software is finished because of vibe coding just isn't remotely true or even a new situation. Blender had an amusing post up claiming they'd used AI to make a 100% clean sheet...

    Why are people buying electric cars?

    This is something I've been noticing and quite interested in since I was reading a general discussion (not on an electric car forum) and there were a number of people who commented they liked the electric cars just for the way they drove. We have an electric coaches here now (from a company...

    Very similar Adobe alternatives, the ArtCraft apps

    But that's been the case for years. There's been numerous open source applications that offer huge amounts of functionality for free and crucially, they do it better than these vibe coded apps do. Or look at Davinci Resolve, completely free for the standard version and fully functional yet...

    Very similar Adobe alternatives, the ArtCraft apps

    I think this is the third or fourth thread I've seen on this software package here and I've also seen them on many other pages. I've had a look at some of the software and the premise they're being offered under is extremely misleading, you're absolutely not getting Adobe packages for free and...

    Flash advice

    They're not the seller in this case because they're only fulfilling it. I've never seen Amazon take responsibility for problems with these orders aside from issues with actually delivering the order.

    Flash advice

    Yes I meant the IT32 but the first link on Amazon (and all the other ones I can find there) are small sellers with questionable reviews particularly for after sales.

    Flash advice

    Any recommended stores to get the Godox TT32 specifically the Nikon version? A number of them seem to be out stock leaving ones with pricey delivery or low ratings.

    LightCraft

    I feel these are being misrepresented because you get the impression this is software that looks and behaves similar to the Adobe software but I've tried the Lightcraft one and it's nothing like Lightroom at all.

    Fuel costs

    That's exactly why I started cycling because I had a turbo diesel car with a DPF so I wanted to avoid short journeys. That car is long gone but cycling has been a great benefit to me and I still have the mindset to avoid short journeys, a cargo e-bike could reduce journeys further unless I have...

    Fuel costs

    I've been toying with seeing if I can get a cargo e-bike for a trial (there's been some schemes that offer them) because I'd really like to see if my dog would be up for travelling in it. I've cut down my car use about 90% since getting a pedal bike but I still need to use the car for taking...

    Exploring new places by e-bike with a camera

    I don't see them that often but there are a couple of electric trikes I see going back and forth in my area and they look great, very stable of course and handy room to pop items between the rear wheels. My Mum has an e-bike which is generally great but after breaking her ankle a couple of...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    I'm interested in what basis you're suggesting the ZR. I've been keeping a close eye on it but feedback seems very mixed and what concerns me is the video focused controls and criticism of the partially stacked sensor for being behind standard sensors on dynamic range. The ZR is also a lot...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    I've been considering a ZR as a smaller camera to accompany my Z8 but it seems overkill and the controls are video focused rather than stills focused. So I do like the look of the Z5IIC and wondering if putting price aside there's any reason to consider the ZR instead, I guess it has the better...
