I agree. I realise it is a niche market, keyboard phones, but there are still people out there that want them and they seem to be hooking into that market.

Their software isnt the best but I'm hoping in time it will become more refined along with the keyboards getting better with each iteration. BlackBerry had a lot more practice by the time of the passport and key devices so here's hoping at least one company will fill that gap left behind.

Watching a blackbird try and fail repeatedly to figure out how to fly up to the bird house / hanging feeding table thing in my garden to get at the food in there. Once he figured it out he was coming back and forth over and over again to get the tasty suet and berry treats inside!

Blackbirds are my favourite and watching him learn a new skill was great!

Couldn't agree more with Skyrim, Oblivion was the same when I tried that too I just can't stand it. Easily some of the most over rated games IMO.

Also agree with Zelda but I think the same about all of the Nintendo IPs, they are just boring and the fan base makes me dislike them even more!

Same, I replaced the screen 3 times and the battery once before my keytwo finally gave in and I had to admit defeat.

There is no titan slim 2 yet, just the regular titan which is like a BB passport in form factor but chunkier, I'm just speculating that if they are continuing the line hopefully there will be a new slim in the future.

The few pre release reviews I have watched regarding the titan 2 say that the it is snappy and nice to use with a considerable improvement over the old one but it is still a $300 phone so it isnt going to be top of the range power able to run all the most taxing games. Really though the kinds of people this phone is aimed at aren't the type to be as worried about that and with a 1:1 ratio screen a lot of games and such would probably be painful to play.

I suggest you check out a couple of videos if you are interested because I don't really know the in depth details because I don't really care about the processor etc as long as it runs the phone at an acceptable rate, I'm in it for the keyboard :D

I know it isnt the same form factor but the Titan 2 is coming soon with pre-production units being sent out to people already and estimated release in October.

I had the original titan and will probably get this to try it out but that also means a Titan Slim 2 is a possibility at some point. The key2 that the slim copies is the best phone I ever owned I think!

Are you happy with your results though? Seems like a decent improvement to me!

Also how did you feel with the bars up the correct way? Any better there?

MaM is the absolute best for audiobooks IMO. Always have what I want, a friendly and helpful community and from what I hear the most forgiving private tracker around.

Sadly I don't use any of those platforms and with a cursory view their website and etsy page don't cover the actual materials and methods used to produce them (which is a bit weird for a passion project). I may have missed it though and will look properly once I'm not working.

Have a good day!

That is fine, I didn't expect you to be as interested in the printing side but thought I would ask anyway. Thanks for the link, I'll have a look around and see what I can find. :D

Do you have any more information on those manuals in terms of how they made them? (Or a link to where I could read the info) Things like printing process, materials used etc. I work in print so that kind of interests me and from the photos they look of an OK quality so I was just curious.

All the best with your health, I enjoy reading through your posts even if I am not commenting every time but health is always more important so I hope things take a positive turn for you!

Not really. Going down stairs you shouldn't have much weight over the front and the suspension won't be doing that much work until you get to the bottom where it will compress as you hit the flat. If anything if you went too soft you could hit the bottom of the stair set and bottom out the forks which opens up another can of worms.

If the suspension is working fine for you right now I'd leave it as it is.

 

This album is chefs kiss right up until the last three tracks. Don't keep up with this genre at all any more but think I'm gonna have to delve into more new releases!

 

So, every other month it seems I go and try to find a different app for Lemmy that generally performs better in terms of some issues I have with Connect. As usual today I have done this and realised I really like this app and others just fall flat for various different reasons as always happens.

So I guess this is a request to please update connect just to fix a few bugs and stop some frustrations in my day to day use. Anyone else that has reoccurring issues maybe please just add to this thread in the hopes of just ironning out a few issues that ruin the experience of what otherwise is a fucking great app!

My first major issue is the handling of images. This issue was introduced in the last update I believe. Image loading can be painfully slow sometimes which it never was prior but is something I can live with, what is more frustrating is when an image is present but blurry as a lot appear whilst "loading" but then upon completion it displays the following error page instead of the image -

If I download the image from this screen it will save the correct image so there is an issue somewhere with the image itself being displayed within app. I haven't seen this error with gifs however they will sometimes just never load showing a black screen with no error, I believe this is only with jpeg?

The other most frustrating thing to deal with is the app refreshing itself when you switch to another app on your phone. This does not happen all the time but does it often enough to be very frustrating. Even when I am in the middle of a reply to a comment or post, I switch to a browser or whatever to copy a link and switch back and the app will refresh itself to "frontpage: hot" feed. This is especially frustrating when trying to reply to ransom threads on /all as I then may never find what I wanted to reply to again or it takes an inordinate amount of time scrolling.

In a similar vein if you do post a reply to something, after that reply has been sent it will again default back to "frontpage: hot" so by responding to any threads you totally lose your place on a feed, as someone who browses all a lot this is incredibly frustrating! Again, it never did this in the past that I remember.

Moderator tools would also be amazing but I dont really care to much about this when compared to these issues above.

Eternity is the closest I've found to the experience I get here but the deal breaker there for me is it won't download anything unless it has notification permissions and nothing gets notification permissions!
