Limit the torrent bandwidth in the torrent application. Or, spend £5 on a seed box where it will download faster than your home broadband. Then download at full speed to the house at your leisure. Thanks. Hadn't heard of seed box. My torrent download had no restriction on it. Ultra.cc do a €4.95 deal. You can't stream from it - but you just download to your pc with FTP software or a browser or SSH. I pay more, but I can DL to the seed box and then stream from there using Plex. Off for a tot of rum |

Crank/Amipal - thanks
My current phone is Sony Xperia XZ Premium and I'm looking at the Sony Xperia 1 V. I think both use Nano-sim.
Apart from a brief affair with an old iPhone (the curved iPhone 3g) I've always had Sony smart phones. A great bunch of lads.

I have just received my first Xmas card this year. It states on the front, 'To a Wonderful Neighbour'. Can you guess who it is yet? Was it put through your door by mistake? No offence. I mentally queried that as well, it may be a piss take. Still, hand crafted card (as always). |

A Christmas card in mid-November? All kinds of wrong.

I think I had it for about 5 years. Last summer I was in a pub, and my phone was on the table. A random walked past, did a double take, then pointed at my phone and asked "what the fuck is that?! Sony make phones?" Made me feel like a hipster, so I had to get rid of it |

In other news, I've just spent 25 minutes trying to explain to a colleague that the reason a report has data for October, and not November in it, is I wrote it on the 3rd November. I had to say on multiple occasions "November's data doesn't exist yet, because November hasn't finished happening". At one point I genuinely thought they were trying to wind me up. I don't think I got through to them

Also, some Happy Birthday signage. Fuck knows why and I'm not going to ask.

There are two nerds in this coffee shop discussing RPGs/motherboards and the like. Role playing games, not the Hamas toy. Player 1 is saying he doesn't have time to play Elden Ring due to family commitments. Player 2, the sweaty virgin is telling him to make time. I wish to slap player 2 in the style of the batman slapping meme, but I fear my arrest will interrupt my shoapin' You'd slap someone for giving good advice? |

I don't think I got through to them I've had similar before. "Why haven't you sent out the weekly report?", "Because I'm still waiting for the returns from Gatwick", "Why haven't they sent them?", "I don't fucking know, do I look like I work at fucking Gatwick?".
Cunts.

You do look like you work at Gatwick, yes. |

Crank which plex app are you using? I have been having issues with mine. First the LG-oledTV version of the app stopped working. So I switched to Xbox version of Plex, that was fine for a few months but now also not working. Just buffers every 60 seconds. Very annoying, those are the only TV versions I can do. The server lives at my friends house. The only version of the Plex app that still works is PMs ancient macbook via safari. Which is a bit small screen for movies. Any ideas?

sandybahookieThe apple TV one, the Android one on my phone and my pal uses one on his TV. It's coming from a high bandwidth server in the Netherlands though. Are you telling the app to stream at full resolution? Is it everything? 4k? Transcoding can mess with the server if it's not powerful enough and then buffer. Does he have the latest version of the server software?

So you're storing video at 4k - say Blu-ray images. With Atmos Audio.
And you're streaming that to your mobile phone. You might not have the bandwidth or the data plan to stream that. And tbh it's pointless as your phone probably isn't going to show it properly. So rather than having two copies of the film the server can transcode it. Basically on the fly convert it to a lower quality and then stream it to you. Whilst changing the atmos Audio to stereo.
But obviously that can strain the server and cause buffering. A bit like your drunken face.

Transcode?
