How disappointing. Been using premium for a decade now (got it in a 10p sale back in 2015! Those were the days) Time to start scoping out replacements, this thread is a great start

That's a throwback! I remember being excited about the Optimus Maximus back around '06! Never heard of any actually making it out into the wild...

This always gets the pearl-clutchers out of the woodwork - you're gathering a few hundred of the world's fittest people in peak performance mode in the same place for a few weeks, giving most of them a huge amount of downtime, wha

Totally personally skewed perspective, but thinking about the number of systems I've installed VLC on, some multiple times through rebuilds etc, 6 billion feels like a huge underestimate!

It's that old adage once again... throw enough goose shit at the wall and eventually you'll treat cancer.

I went to this exhibit at the weekend! Some truly awesome pictures (and a handful of runners up that left me wondering how easy it is to do, really) One of the most interesting comparisons was how some pictures were a single shot, maybe 10-

My last was a g8x ThinQ, dual screen by virtue of a case like the v50, but both screens were the same size - I believe with the v50 the secondary was slightly smaller? What ultimately forced me to upgrade, however, was the main screen fell
