Do a search on your favourite site for “keepons for glasses”. I use these, and they are perfect. They fit on the arms of the glasses and curl downwards behind the top of your ear, keeping the glasses in place no matter how much bending over or head banging you do. Nobody notices them unless you...

I'm hoping that Amazon will announce a 192/24 compatible echo link in today's announcement (the current device only goes up to 96/24 - I know it's unlikely to make much difference, but you might as well have a device that supports the top rate). That'll get music into your amp or DAC.

Not that you asked, but in case someone else does, the Lloyds app with fingerprint works fine on the OP6 as well.

I am too old to play FPS games :D

Mine arrived today. No dead pixels (I think!). Haven't fiddled much other than enabled the overclock and reduced brightness to 40%, and spent some time in Witcher 3 admiring gsync. It feels much larger than my previous 27" dell. I love the lack of backlight bleed and decent blacks, and it is, so...

Pre-ordered - looking forward to it!

I had the same (appalling battery life) with my old one. The new one has been off charge since around 9am and is at 84% .. much better, but I wonder how long it will be before it starts deteriorating again.

My 6P, bought in September 2015, randomly rebooted Sunday night and went into a boot loop (Google on screen for a few seconds, then blank for a couple of seconds, then back to Google, rinse and repeat). I contacted support Monday without much hope, but after going through some simple bootloader...

Just to add for confirmation, my wife bought a 128G 3T in an O2 store ON PAYG yesterday and it was unlocked. The only stipulation was that she bought a £15 PAYG topup at the same time. Dual Sim is working really nicely, a great boon to her as she can keep work and personal stuff separate. P.

I have the Bottlehead Crack as well, with speedball. It makes my HD650s sound wonderful. I've been so impressed that I also built their Kaiju 300B speaker amp earlier this year and it is completely amazing. Though expensive!

I played it earlier this year and thought it was totally wonderful. The soundtrack was so impressive I rushed out (er, over to Amazon) and bought the CD. There was probably extra resonance in the story for me as my Mum passed away a few months ago. I found some comfort in the storyline.

Witcher 2 here (in the middle of replaying them all, leading up to a NG+ Witcher 3. The latter is, I think, the best single person game I've ever played. Original Everquest will always hold the title for best multiplayer, simply because at that stage of life I had loads of time to pour into it...

I had been having the same sorts of thoughts, but earlier this week bit the bullet and started back from scratch with Witcher 1. I didn't ever play the enhanced edition so it's good to be doing that. The theory is that by the time I'm back up to the third game, I can do a NG+ and will have...

I built one last year and it's been the best hifi purchase I've ever made. The only danger is in getting a bit carried away with "rolling" different valves to see what difference they make to the sound... I have rather a lot of 12au7 and equivalents here, and 6080s. I see they've brought out...

Invite is about to expire so grab it quickly! https://account.oneplus.net/invite/claim/GLBD-PXAE-QQCN-HJFU Paul.

Does anyone use Waze on a Nexus 5 with lollipop? I've found that the voice navigation (set to come through the phone speaker always) has become much lower quality. It sounds like lower sample rate somehow. Would be interested to hear if anyone else has the same issue.

I got a beta key for this weekend and played it long enough to realise that it simply isn't a game written for people like me. Horrible cartoon style, un-engaging quests... I think I'm just too old (48). In contrast I have had an absolute blast in ESO beta and I can't wait for that to come out.

On the eyepiece front, I can recommend the BST Explorer series (now called Starguider) sold by "Skies the Limit". Have a look in stargazers lounge in the eyepieces forum and you'll see numerous mentions. I have a barlow but never use it; the BST are cheap enough (£49 a pop) that you can get all...

+1 for the Skywatcher skyliner 200P dobsonian, I have got one myself and love it. Best bang for the buck, in my opinion. Recommend you get a right angle finder to prevent backache, and a telrad as well. Then get ready to buy more eyepieces. But you'll be able to see loads of stuff. The first...

Another vote for dbpoweramp - I use it all the time, it's great.
