      The Amazon tech specs are always space. With anything technical always Google the item before you buy. I equate it to buying of argos or curries etc site. They never have the details you or I would want see. Just the “headline” specs.

        The Samsung one join has usb otg and 32gb internal storage, plus an sd.

        No tablet (out side of a windows surface) had an hdd. Internal storage is the hdd. Well it’s the soldered on solid state.

        Pm I didn’t think about the shield. Will have to check it out. That must have usb otg, as you can hook controllers to it? Can’t you?

                It’s working for me, and it finished the ui off on the site. It’s all an point now, looks like it all belongs.

                The old icons done a job, but like I said before, they looked very xp. I wouldn’t be surprised if they was nicked off xp.

                Just talking of mobile ui, as Ive not seen the desktop site in a long while.

                        I don’t do music as such, but find Spotify is probably the best free player.  Google music if you pay or free if you have large collections of your own music.

                        Never tried apple music.

                        I think the answer depends on how you want to listen, and personal preference to ui. I like Spotifys ui the best.

                          Yes, when you get the update, they change alot of your settings to [their] default, so don’t just dismiss the dialogue box.

                              It may not help stop future attacks, but the politicians will sure use atrocities like this to their political advantage.

                              I see this page got a little heated. This is what happens when you have an hysterical press.they just feed the fire. I’ve not read anymore in the situation since yesterday am 45min radio ear raping that gave no real info. I listened to books the rest of the days traveling.

                              When/if it solved I’ll take that info please, untill then they should shut up. As Dave Dan said just carry on.

                              On that not, I recall Paris last year, hotels and flights was almost being given away the next day. I asked the wife did she fancy it. The chances of being caught in an attack, is next to zero, the chances of a second less.

                              I often do think of bombs at football, not inside, but in the avenues leading to grounds, welbeck Road outside of anfield (kop end) turns into a a very dense sea of bodies. Both before and after the game, as that’s the way to town.

                              Most footballs ground are the same.

                                My lad just said something to me Interesting.

                                “do you think it went wrong, as 22 is a low number, for such a packed place “.

                                Take all feelings out of the equation and he had a very good point. A hand grenade, which is just a small nail bomb, would likely do close to them numbers in such a space. If you had a vest,  your explosion point would be chest height, so it would have a for better coverage area a grenade  would be on the floor, and given these places asterisk stepped, a small floor level explosion could only really go up and forward.

                                I see no organisation has taken responsibility yet, so let’s not start the finger pointing. And even if one does, hold off on condemning a whole section of people. After all “x terror company” may well just admit to it for some free PR.

                                So now I’m most interested  in the numbers.

                                Feelings back, it’s a right shit house trick to attack a concert, there would of been alot of young girls from the ages of 6 through 16 there. (see I’m not a total monster).

                                  I hope nothing happens to the Arndale centre, I have a great go joke that’s only just becoming acceptable.

                                  Jokes aside, I lived and had family involved but not hurt in the Warrington bomb, bit the Arndale bomb, the aftermath of that was amazing. I can still remember the first time I seem it, (a couple of weeks after) and was gob smacked a bomb could do so much damage.

                                  Hope all is OK there,and it just some weirdo with a sick sense of humour having fun.

                                    When my Fil hit 60, he was telling me how much he feared dementia or the like, and asked me to finish him off at the first sigh. He said he asked me as there was a higher chance I’d help.

                                     

                                    His words was something like “the day I can’t wipe my own arse is the day you need to shoot me” it went form a joke, to a deep drunken discussion. As these things do.

                                    I didn’t know wether to be flattered or offended, but understood his point. Especially after seeing it take my grandad.

                                      The you view box has the best tv epg out there, so of your not sold on that, just letting you know, it’s only down from here on out.

                                      Thought it does make the most sense then you can take full advantage of its “going back in time” feature. Not sure if that works on the BT box. I know the TT one does, even with no tv contract.

                                      My inlaws have mine. And they “got it” with out any training. That is as big of a praise as any ui design team needs.

                                        The press again!! Just been on a 45 min round trip, and the radio didn’t shut up about it, even though they know f-all. Report the facts quietly then let it fail into history.

                                        Sad state non the less, whomever is responsible. May be I’m strange, but for me the press just enjoy me more than whatever said event is.

                                        I’ve spent many of a night parked around the corner from it while my girls have attend.

                                        I still don’t get the huge emotional outrage of the media, saying how it’s shuck them to the core, and they are traumatised too it. “how do we move on as a nation” pft.

                                        Nation of babies the press is, good job these type wasn’t around in the 70/80/90 God forbid 40s.

                                         

                                        Was it not last night Dave was in the city? Doubt he was at the gig, so not trying to start panic.

                                          I see a similar quirk to Ed, sometimes I’ll get kicked out the input box and will be greeted by the first post on that page. However my written text doesn’t vanish. It happens quite regular, but not enough for it to bug me.

                                            He he, my mountain looks over Rhyl to the sea, it’s looks OK form a far. Have no family or connections there. It does have a bad wrap locally, but in all honesty, as bad ad it is, it’s a number of steps up form alot  inner city/leg town areas.

                                            Also i find it isn’t as as bad or at least isn’t any worse, than some of the other north wales towns. The worst of Rhyl estates ‘the reso’ is a huge upgrade to the estate I grew up on.
