    New gear please :)

    The 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens is a pretty solid starter.

    New gear please :)

    I'm not sure I'd want a fixed 35mm lens if planning landscape photography predominantly.

    Onedrive alternatives

    Office 365 family subscription is usually under £50 a year on offer and gives you 6x1TB accounts total. I use multiples 1TB allocations to back up my NAS, it's dirt cheap.

    Would you buy an iPad Mini 6 in 2024?

    It's 3 years old, it must be due a refresh by now. M3 mini with a 120hz screen, come on baby!

    EKWB in trouble?

    Yup watercooling has generally priced itself into a niche that is never going to massively profitable. AIO on the CPU is about £70/FE GPU with a big cooler is cheaper than AIB and you're pretty sweet these days. No maintenance or faff at upgrade time. Given overclocking is pretty limited too I...

    NHS=Negligent Health Service

    No sarcasm, they actually look fully fledged hospitals. Many private hospitals have very sketchy out of hours cover.

    NHS=Negligent Health Service

    The staffing of these ITUs is usually very dubious. Any one properly sick gets knocked back to the NHS.

    Would you buy an iPad Mini 6 in 2024?

    An M1/2/3 based mini with a 120hz screen would be pretty much perfect. My daughter has the mini 6 and it's a nice device, skimping on the screen was stupid though, 60hz and jello effect, whilst minor in the grand scheme, aren't justified in a premium device.

    Educate me about roof bars/bike carriers.

    I would like to be able to top mount a couple of bikes on my car, it has the flush metal roof rails. I assume I need to buy bars and a seperate bike carrier to mount to the bars, are they all interchangeable? Does it all have to match (ie all Thule?)

    Voices wrong, the story seems unbelievable and comedic nature does nothing for me. Not cool.

    I keep itching to buy one, don't need one but it's a steal for the price!

    When are you going fully electric?

    Usually a significant difference between 10 degrees and 20 degrees in terms of mileage. Easy 10% at a guess.
