Hehe ok I'll wear those down votes. I didn't understand the reference as I heard it first on The Two Ronnies as 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the shepherd's bush' which I think think might be a carry-on reference.

I didn't see why l would want a bird in my hand in the first place.

PS - what happened to your D key?

That one is confusing sometimes. The job belongs to 'it', so it's kinda looks right even though I think it isn't. Something about the apostrophe of ownership?

It's a boy. Arthur.

In the case of inverter air conditioning it might make a small difference at it won't throttle down as it approaches the intended, not commanded, target.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?

Yeah it's ok on a static object by law, but not on a moving vehicle.

And yes, even here in Armidale we have about four of them, and they don't seem to have night dimming so can be a bit blinding.

I think such things are banned in Australia. Clearly not safe for traffic.

I still read CDC as Cult of the Dead Cow.

Greg! The stop sign!

I use my older Linux laptop with Rustdesk to remotely control my 'good' one. Works nicely, and they've fixed the Windows key / alt tab issues as well.

I grow fat on all those chicken dinners on the original.

A smart switch that turns off the power when the battery hits 80% and turns it on at 78%? Dunno if that would actually work.

It'll probably work. Biggest issue will be recovery after power failure as laptops generally stay off.

Next most likely is CPU fan failure, exacerbated if CPU usage causes the fans to run high and nobody is there to blow the dust out.

Other than that I've had multiple laptops that run as servers over the years and generally they're fine. Streaming audio for our community radio station, or shoved behind wall mounted TV's for updateable PowerPoint displays.

Wise guy huh :)

Where is Phaelan?

I read your comment and hit back while still processing it.

More input Stephanie. More!

Tweet becomes X. (because the bird died.)

It's a Motorola thing :)

https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola/comments/1g5ie7c/camera_freezing_hanging_in_moto_g84_5g/ for example.

Mine is fine in Armidale 5G but fails in Parkes 5G for example.

I wonder how they feel about the j6 release. If I were a cop I'd be just that little bit less confident that my coppiness would be worth providing.

The g84 is a great mid range phone with all the things that a phone should have, except for a decent camera.

Being Motorola it has a couple of idiotic quirks that will never get fixed

• kills Facebook messenger in the background no matter what your do.
• on some but not all Australian 5g networks, the camera closes after a few seconds and is unusable unless you switch to 4g etc.

I can live with those given the rest of the stuff is great for the price point.

Rarely use headphones so can't comment much on that side. FM radio seems to manage without.

I remember it from 'introductory formal logic' back in my (failed) uni days.

It kinda had a language of its own, similar to how mathematics has < > etc
