WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I just want that P30 Pro camera zoom in my life. It would be so good for concerts but that phone is a bit pricey to be a paperweight outside of that purpose.

I went to a concert last weekend and it was great. The S10e wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. The sharpening action it does in low light was not great but worked out okay for the 2 decent shots I got. The seats were a bit far away to be able to get a good shot of the artists. I learned that the zoom and auto sharpening together can make for a bad combo with this phone. This was my final test.

It does make me wonder how it would be if I'm able to get closer but that's for the next concert to test.

I will keep that in mind, thank you.

Got the callback and it's scheduled for early next week.
I just remembered that I have a virtual meeting that might clash with this but I can ask them to push it back 30 minutes hopefully. That would be all that I need. I need the meeting yes, but I also need to start this as well for myself.

The new update is giving me similar battery life on the Falster as I'm used to with the Huawei watch 2 so far. That's a good thing.

So the new Nokia X71 is out... hopefully it gets launched in my neck of the woods (8.1Plus?). The specs looks decent except for the missing OIS and "old" SD660??

Meanwhile, I'm in a battle with a 4 month old kitten, plans are being developed to wrestle back control of my backyard and kitchen!!

Spring is here and the tree in my front yard is in full bloom.

Also tomorrow we plan to go to Antelope Valley to see the California poppy super bloom. I will take all the smartphones to see what kind of pictures we can get. Went a couple of years ago and took pictures with the S8 and the OG Pixel.

Enjoy the view! I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures, since it sounds like it will be a beautiful sight. :smile:

Looks can be deceiving



The mother abandoned him (at end of February) in our upstairs balcony, it was all dirty & scabby... Presently clean and mischievous...

Aww, how adorable. Is it a boy or girl? What's its name?

He squeals, and prances about a lot... "Mickey"

He's a kitten, it's what they do. He's a cutie.

Be sure to get him neutered. Male cats can be a pain otherwise.

Yup.. But will have to be later when it grows older and after another dose of vaccination

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

So a while back I did a mini review on the SoundPEATS Engine Q40. I can do a better one now.

The good:
- Long battery life. These things last me two days at work before needing a charge.
- Sound quality for me is great. They're nice and clear and decent base.
- Loud enough for me but I don't play my music very loud
- Connects to my phone with no issues.
- Bluetooth 5, APTX support
- Generally good comfort
- Came with a variety of earbuds for comfort
- Charge is fairly quick

The not so good:
- Can be a bit heavy when used for a long time
- A bit bulky looking
- May not have the sound quality some people are after
- Not noise cancelling, though this isn't a requirement for me

I only used these once on a call and had no issues.

On the whole if you're looking for decent low cost wireless earbuds you can't go wrong with these.

I'm satisfied overall - 8/10

It was a great trip to the Antelope Valley today. First up, some iPhone Xr pictures.

Just getting to the valley.

Poppies galore.

A mix of orange and yellow.

The orange ones are the California poppy flowers.
