Re: Home CCTV

Are there any good solutions out there for motion-detected cams which can use battery and solar power only? Looking for something I could stick on a shipping container which would be in the middle of a field basically, for a bit of extra security... I have a few Eufy cameras (as I don't want the pe...

Re: Home CCTV

Thanks everyone, that's given me a good start. I kind of thought there would be a few challenges with this, but one camera might do the job.

40 Ring cameras @Mito Man!?

Re: The Movie Thread

I do like Memento, not seen it for a long time though so I'll add that to the rewatch list - I've got a lot of time supporting some testing work this week where I'll be kicking around with nothing to do so I will watch it then. I really like Insomnia but I know it's one of his least-liked movies. I'...

Re: The Movie Thread

I didn't have any issue with the dialogue of Dune 2 when we saw it at the local iMax. I saw Oppenheimer there too without any issues but then saw people complaining about that, so I do wonder if there's just very fine tolerances when it comes to movies like that where the soundtrack is using a massi...

Re: Selling Cars Privately

We've used WBAC a few times as well, hassle free and twice we've had their offer increase after they saw the car.

That f*cked up door is something else :D

I can see what they're going for with the styling, but it looks like Musk did a doodle on a napkin in crayon and insisted that was the final design rather than it being a v1 sketch which gets evolved.

Re: Cayman/Boxter RIP.

The whole USP of the 911 is having the engine in the wrong place. An EV could never replicate that driving experience. For that reason an EV "911" will never be a real 911. They should just kill it off. It will be interesting to see where they go with a 911 EV, a usable sports car like th...

.. and that's it sold. To a lovely local lady who has put a deposit down and will pick it up in a couple of weeks.

Wasn't that bad ;)

:o Before Easter! Are you mad? :shock: It's pishing down here atm - I don't think that was forecast but a clear night at feels like 0° is so I expect there will be crashes later if not already.

Re: Cayman/Boxter RIP.

Those sales figures are genuinely surprising re 911 to Boxster/Cayman ratio.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at these car companies who over the last 5-10 years or so are having to do so much more in the way of software development, UI design and all the security considerations that come with it.

Re: Selling Cars Privately

I kind of appreciate the honesty about a low-ball offer as at least it's probably genuine. And some of those people at least respond to texts and come back to ask if it's sold yet because they are genuinely interested. People making up stories or just not turning up are a PITA. So yeah, in my head, ...

Re: Selling Cars Privately

That’s actually a fair question on this kind of vehicle that might not do a lot of miles. I can see the reason for asking, but at this price and end of the market, it would be way down my list of questions given everything else I've provided and the inevitable bargaining. If he comes along and says...
