Bought a mini 8'' 4:3 lcd monitor

Nice, although word of warning if you're not aware, don't keep your phone charged/charging at 100% all the time as it will knacker the battery.
I have a work phone plugged in while I'm working and best I get from it when unplugged now is 2 hou*snip*

Bought a mini 8'' 4:3 lcd monitor

Yea, not the cheapest. I was looking at the security screens on ebay, very similar and cheaper...but a bit too much like Temu cheap if you know what I mean.
I saw a youtuber pick up a small screen for a fiver which prompted me, but his only had a composit*snip*

Bought a mini 8" 4:3 lcd monitor

I bought a new monitor. This time a tiny 8'' model in 4:3 aspect ratio.
It replaces a second hand one of similar size that's more than 15 years old. The old one has limited inputs (vga and AV) and has decided it doesn't like the signal from my*snip*

Starfleet Academy

Yea strange new worlds has been better Trek of late. Nothing beats Lower Decks for me, though I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, it does give you doses of Trek each episode and it's not too dissimilar to Adventure Time which I love.

Working great!
The scrolling vertically is not affected, now it all fits the width it looks and works great on mobile.

Anything you can do to improve youtube videos in comments /posts when on mobile view?
They are a pain for two reasons:
1) they are twice the width of the view (esp in portrait) forcing to lose half the content and needing horizontal scrolling.

Who Hype - 2024

It's becoming clearer, the shows that are doing well are delivering great stories, with great performances. Shows that try too hard for whatever reason, are suffering.
As for who, I loved the Tenant and Eclesson series, less so for what came after. I *snip*

Poundland Sale

It's clearly Ashens fault.
Since he gave up on YouTube, Poundland has no free advertising, so everyone forgot where to go for their tat.

Switch 2

How's the battery holding up? That was a disappointment on my Switch (the original), I remember going to the airport to pick someone up and the battery didn't last the wait :( I play plugged in these days.

What would happen if every lie you told created a small, glowing orb above your head?
It would probably be used as a fake badge of honour, like the twitter blue tick. Liars in the world would convince the population that the brighter the orb, the more int*snip*

On a similar theme, I watched the last 'What we do in the shadows' this week. Laszlo's thing is he transforms into a bat when he says ''bat''. Much amusement was had when he's talking to someone carrying a baseball bat. So I'd s*snip*

On reflection it hasn't change much.
I tend to start visually, either doodling graphics or writing and drawing in a notebook. I guess these days i often replace a notebook with OneNote (and a digital pen).
At work-work, I'll draw quick wireframes*snip*

Interesting about the mouse. I can see a parallel with the DS touchscreen and stylus. We'll likely get a load of poorly thought out experiments using a mouse control with the odd gem as an exception, then it'll calm down and mouse controls will be *snip*

The Harry Potter game was the same. I've done some digging, there's a key thing. If you see that it means you get a box (and a cart? ) but it's a download.
Possibly be cheaper. Possibly that some games will come in both formats.
