Indeed Should have just linked the article. It's a good read though, they're as on the precipice as we were back in 1992.

TBH Star Wars for me will always be Episodes 4-6 and possibly the prequels, but that's it. Everything since then, including 7-9 has been about milking the cash-cow as much as possible. Not a fan.

Depends on the method. MagSafe supports up to 15W. It's as quick as a standard charge. Quickest method is to use a 65W USB-C laptop charge. Screws up the battery life though.

Listen, is fucking your sister incest if I you don't know it's your sister? I want to like Star Wars, I should like Star Wars, but since it was taken over by Disney it's essentially all generic garbage. No imagination at all, there was one series which featured a turf war between space mods and rockers ffs. Disney ruin everything. Even Dr Who is essentially Disneyfied now and consequently shit. Very little good sci fi out there nowadays. Especially "hard" Sci Fi (set in our universe and scientifically plausible). Prefer fantasy.

Well someone has certainly been studying the BBC Sports page

When you consider they generated total revenue of £651m last year, the fourth highest by any club in world football it really puts into perspective how fucked they are.

with shades of incest

Wireless charging is slow as fuck though.

Kieran Maguire reckons that financially, tomorrow is the most important match in Manchester United's history. Spurs recorded an annual loss of £26m last year, while Man Utd's deficit was £113m over the same period. That took their total losses to £300m over the past three years.

Would agree with that. ROTS runs it close - as with TESB, it has a really dark storyline.

Nice one, good time to swap phones a few months before they bring the new flagship out. There used to be big jumps in functionality from one phone to the next, but all they're doing these days is slight tweaks to the camera. All the big stuff just comes as standard now, so being one year out of date means nowt.

I think the wireless element depends on the car, not Android Auto / Apple Car Play. I've got one of the QI chargers in the car and a MagSafe case for the phone so I'm never plugging anything into the charge port any more. My car doesn't have the wireless element but I got one of the dongles off the internet that you bluetooth to. Works a treat

£300 off v Google at Carphone whorehouse… might get £250-£300 for my iPhone 13 Pro… I think this could be approaching the “HERE WE GO!” stage of the deal

It shouldn't be. My 2019 focus worked with wireless android auto. I wonder if it's the age of your phone that's the issue?

yeah. rogue one was the best of the disney star wars films

i don't mind the blue trim but the collar, the stripes, the badge and the big white patch on the back don't look great.

Honestly, I've tried with all manner of household stuff. Last time it became unworkable I took it to one of those dodgy phone shops on a high street. Bloke tried to charge me £20 after he'd taken 2 minutes to clean it all out with one of those cans of pressurised air. Cheeky bastard. Half tempted to report him to I.C.E.

Andor is class and flows nicely into Rogue One (which is also great).

I mostly drive a 2020 Polo, which has Android Auto, but you have to be all cabled up. Coincidentally going in tomorrow to look at some new car options.

Aye, buying a new car definitely seems easier than cleaning the lint out of your charging port.

A car with Android Auto is what you need. It works wirelessly so no need to plug in and you basically get your phone mirrored on the screen but optimised for driving.

Nice one cheers. I've still got a code for the discount off the Pixel 9 so I'll see if she'll use that first. She might bristle at the idea that I got the Pro and she didn't, but nothing a good BACKHAND won't sort out.

I heard it’s really good. Was going to binge next week

Yeah, go through the BL website and it links you to Samsung with the discount applied. I think it affects your trade in though, hence I sold elsewhere.

I've a Pixel 6 so wouldn't get that kind of a discount, but I think I need to update the phone. My biggest issue is that the charging port always fills with fluff or lint or whatever and that means connecting to the car is a bitch. What I need, I guess is a car with a pad to mirror the screen without needing to connect a cable.
