  1. Saw it last night and quite enjoyed it, I did feel that some of the characters were simply along for the ride so to speak. Despite what the critics say I quite enjoyed Jared Leto's "dark" Joker, although I was never into comics so had no preconceptions of what the Joker should be (other than the 90's Batman films).
  2. I would usually just recommend streaming to YouTube using https://obsproject.com/ unless you have anything specific that wouldn't make this a viable option.
  3. Allegedly some SSDs are able to out perform the internal storage reducing load times (by a few seconds), can't find where I read that though now
  4. You don't need CC4.5 as it can be used with CC4.3, however you do need a CC4.5 license.
  5. I really wouldn't skimp on the clothing front, however cost is not a direct reflection of quality. I recently purchased a new jacket and trousers for £270 because it was a discontinued line and has been replaced by a new one. A few months before and the exact same would have cost £350. The same goes for helmets, make sure that you read this https://www.gov.uk/motorcycle-helmet-law as helmets are the only part that are covered by law. I can personally recommend the Shoei Quest range; quite cheap (from £200), light, quiet, good cheek padding options and usually come with a pin lock visor.
  6. Install guides can be found in DWN5174434 and you may also want to look at DWN5167232
  7. I had seen that but sort of dismissed it purely on resolution, will read into it. I'll keep that in mind. Some good shots there, unfortunately pit lane access is off the agenda at Brno. I did look at Pramac Ducati hospitality which would have given me access to their garage but it was just too expensive.
  8. How about this: https://www.parkcameras.com/p/1010075C/compact-cameras/canon/powershot-g7-x-digital-camera??source=aw&awc=6241_1467212851_e9327e1034a246b99ca22f47b39126da&utm_source=AWIN&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=103504
  9. It basically boils down to my holiday being in two parts; Prague and Brno. With the family in tow I might not be able to get particularly close to the may things in Prague I would like to capture, with it being a capital city I don't really want a big heavy camera on show all the time. Later I will be in Brno for the Moto GP and would be taking action shots during practice but even then may still need a zoom of x4 or more. I generally like the idea of having a high zoom in order to capture little details that you may otherwise miss, however could this be achievable with a better sensor and sacrifice some of the zoom? Edit: Is this basically what you have just said in your last post @mavhc ?
  10. Thanks for breaking it down into simple terms for me, so basically I need to decide which aspect is more important. Keep in mind that we aren't talking about particularly high benchmarks here regarding quality. As I mentioned am I really going to miss the benefits of a large sensor never having had a camera with one before?
  11. I might be reading the specs wrong but that only has 3.6x optical zoom. I have just found https://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympus-SH-2-Digital-Compact-Camera/dp/B00UKLAZ72/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467206639&sr=8-1&keywords=Olympus+SH-2 but don't really know if the 1/2" sensor would be noticeable to someone like me.
  12. I think they might be a little on the large size still, I'm not sure I want to be involved with making sure I have the correct lens on / with me. Yea, the zoom is quite important as I might not be physically able to get close.
  13. So the summer is here and for once I am actually going away on holiday It has been about 10 years since I actually went on a holiday and I have realised that I really don't have a camera suitable for capturing some of it. At present all I have is the camera on my HTC One M9 and even a novice like me can see that the image quality is rubbish. I have done some looking but am getting a little lost in all the technicalities of photography. I know there are a number of you who are quite keen on photography so I though I would ask; I am after a camera that fits the following: Pocket sized (so thats SLRs out) Good optical zoom (I would think anything over x20 should do it) Good in low light situations Able to capture fast moving (+150mph) objects without too much motion blur Not unnecessarily expensive (around £500 or less) I don't need any fancy connectivity or sharing options, just a camera that takes good pictures. All suggestions welcome.
  14. Many thanks to @philipksmith and the rest of the Roadshow team at Smoothwall. The Birmingham meeting was very informative, I really enjoyed the session by Jonathan Taylor despite him needing to cut the odd story short to keep on time.

    Purchased Slender: The arrival the other week for £1 (discounted on Xbox store plus had a few quid from Xbox rewards), haven't actually played it yet as I'm trying to 100% story mode on Forza 6 which will take at least another couple of weeks with so little play time available.
  16. And thank you @RichCowell for organising it.
  17. Just been told that I have to be in school tomorrow morning (despite me putting my absence in the cover book over a week ago! ). Hopefully I will still get there but it won't be before 11
  18. It's a brilliant game too. You die a lot, but it is a fun game.
  19. Yea, I ended up just turning the multiplayer off as it was annoying having my game being constantly interrupted.
  20. Same as @bossman and @simpsonj Aerohive and LAN 3, really can't fault it and PPSK is a fantastic alternative for devices that don't support 802.1x (which is a surprising number of devices for us like our franking machine and parts of our cashless catering).
  21. Yea, the first one was good although did feel like a cut down GTA 5 at times (not that thats a particularly bad thing). Will probably wait until after Christmas to get it after they drop the price a little.
  22. Just got a Moto 360 and have done a few things with the voice control (mainly because it is the main input method for text), I have sent a few WatsApp messages using the voice prompt and made a couple of Google Keep notes. Voice recognition is very accurate but only useful for short messages and I don't like the absence of punctuation.
  23. Then the coming summer update may be of interest to you both: 3 ways the Xbox summer update will shake up your Xbox One (and PC) | TechRadar
  24. I have found that with constant use throughout the day battery life can be an issue. I seem to be averaging about 5 hours between charges with basic web browsing.
  25. That's the way I read it too, if your actual AD is in Azure.
