I actually watched that for the first time last night! I realized after a few minutes it was based on an old Robert A. Heinlein short story I read aeons ago, so I knew what was going to happen, but I loved the audio/visual clues they kept throwing in. Totally agree - a great movie to watch with no preconceptions. 

The Google Store offers the same freebie. I’m on Fi as well - Fi offered me $145 for my 4XL, Google Store offered me $210. Guess which one I went with ;-) Got the free Pixel Buds as well, you just have to add them to the cart and $99 is taken off the cost of the 'phone.

You and me both! These reviews barely touch on call quality, if they touch on it at all. I’ve tried the Sony XM3 earbuds and they’re crap, and I don’t want to shell out for the XM4 until someone tells me that I won’t sound like I’m gargling hornets at the other end of a tunnel to the other person on the call.

So, how about “If you listen to music and stuff, but also need to take phone calls”?

Hmmm.... so, this puts me in a bit of a quandary. I’ve been holding off on buying a new pair of ‘buds for these to come out to see how they were reviewed. My listening criteria is: 1. Phone Calls, 2. Music, 3. Podcasts. I make a lot of calls, both from my mobile ‘phone, and from Teams or Zoom on my PC. Budget is under…

Magic Carpet. On one hand, I lost so many damn hours of my life playing that game I’d like to see some validation by it actually making the final list. On the other hand, I lost so many damn hours of my life playing that game I’m glad it didn’t make the final list... I’d just have to go back and try it again if it it…

I agree to a certain degree - but I let my 6 year old play on my 9.7" iPad Pro with his kid safe headphones (they force a volume limit) and they’re wired - I’ve yet to find a good wireless solution that prevents him from blowing his eardrums whilst playing Mario on it. To digress momentarily, I *love* that the…

Any chance we could have re-run of this? I’d be fascinated to see how it might have changed in the last 6 years as more bespoke tailoring companies have appeared, some have disappeared, and others have “matured”.

Do you have a source for that? I’d be fascinated to see that cost breakdown.

Wow. That’s quite the attitude there. Did it perhaps occur to you that some people need their laptops so they can work, so as not to be “leeches on this economy” and that not everyone works at a desk all the time so they can’t use an external keyboard? Nope... I don’t think it did. Irrespective, I think it’s…
