I'm not saying it can't be scuffed, I'm saying that personally I wouldn't use it in that way because like you say I'm from an island that spells tyre with a y :p

We used to do the same in HMV circa 98-00.

Ah OK, thanks for the clarification.

I have no idea what PWA is and I'm on android but it has been getting noticeably slower for me as time goes on, more and more content refuses to load within the app too.

These are reasons I moved away from connect, maybe it is time I went back to see how that is doing.....

I mean I disagree. A gouge would be a big chuck taken out, a scratch would be a more surface level line where as a scuff would be a patch of surface level damage. I doubt I would ever use scuff in terms of a tyre either.

That is the wonders of language though, everyone uses it differently :D

Dude. I started feeding birds in my garden around 3 years ago, I wasnt even that interested in birds, now I have a shit load of regulars and I love watching those little bastards.

Wheel, not tyre. So I presume they curbed an alloy or similar.

36.5°c for people who use sane units ;)

Soggfy intercepts the audio to rip an ogg or mp3 file. You need premium for 320 but other than that should do the job.

From the UK and in my region they are called Strimmers.

There is also this "Fairberry" project that is basically building the same thing but with a blackberry keyboard that I have had saved for years now I just don't really feel confident with being able to put it together myself and also don't have access to a 3d printer to make the case part or the skills to modify it for my phone.

I have wanted to look into getting someone to make it for me but when the cost of materials and then paying someone to construct it is going to start costing a similar amount to what I paid for the phone it becomes harder to justify.

Looks interesting, thanks for replying, I hadn't heard about this. I wonder how it compares to a blackberry keyboard to actually use. A bit too expensive for me as I would have to buy a new phone and all the options currently available are quite expensive phones but I'm definitely going to keep this on my radar and maybe try and get one to try when I can get a second hand pixel 9 for a good price maybe.

Soggfy was just the first thing I tried that worked without crawling for shitty yt downloads of the same things and so I stuck with it. If the audio quality is the same then I really don't see what difference it makes in the grand scheme of things.

I will try out zotify so thanks for the name but it isn't like it will be any quicker as I'll still do everything in "real time" as I want to maintain my account and not get banned as it is a family plan and I don't want to negatively impact the other people that use the same plan.

Also I know people love to use command line but soggfy is just a modified Spotify client so I can just open it up and start what I need in a couple of clicks

You are only going to be able to get 320 mp3s from Spotify at the very best, I use soggfy to intercept the audio and rip the tracks so you need to let the playlists run (although you can up the speed they play at) and there will also consequently be some organisation needed of the files afterwards so it is far from automated but works fairly well.

A lot of the tools around take your playlists and find what it thinks are the correct tracks on YouTube and then rip from there so be wary of the quality you might get from those.

I compared a track I ripped from Spotify with a 320 mp3 of the same track I had bought with a spectrometer (I think that is the correct name) and they looked identical

Yes. Unihertz have a couple I'm aware of but their software is dog shit, fx tec pro is out dated and over priced. The blackberry keytwo was the absolute best phone I have ever owned but that is now too old for security updates too so really isnt the best thing to have as your main phone.

Would be happy to hear of some others I may have missed. I backed the planet computers astro slide on indiegogo and they only delivered around 2000 units before stealing everyone elses money. Fucking cunts they are.

I just want an acceptable phone with a keyboard god damn it, not some gimmicky shit with a crap screen!

Anti skip wasn't completely anti skip if it took a massive jolt but for sure it was like magic compares to the old ones which needed to be preferably flat on a table xD

I mean I was doing a paper round around 2000 and the one I owned certainly didn't have anti-skip to begin with and even when they did have anti-skip that doesn't mean that it never skipped as later ones I had with it only had "x seconds of anti skip" so if it receives a big jolt that shit was still skipping

Walking down the street, cradling the thing like a baby because the slightest bump would cause it to skip, those were the days xD
