All the Gear

Re: All the Gear
Oh one question I keep thinking but forgetting to ask.
Does the driverless revolution negate the need for Public Transport ?
IE: do we need superfast trainlinks to up the east coast etc etc ? I can see the need for freight but maybe improving the road system really is the way to go... have a dedicated fast road where these cars and trucks can cruise at 200kph plus ?

Some of those lefties will say that the cost is not important but you will probably find that they are rent-seeking. Subsidies will have to come from the taxpayer and in that case it would be better for the country if we reduced tax which would drive the economy higher

Re: All the Gear
Wouldn't mind having one but I'd probably fall asleep like Alfresco. I also like those stand up desks. Great for meetings and workshops Must have at least three monitors though. I have that at work (well, a dock attached to two screens and I use my laptop screen to make three). I find it's super productive and essential if we want a genuine paperless office.

Australia cheapest in the world again - and over 50% less than the UK
Got my son a Nikon D3300 plus lens kit for Christmas from OW. $298 after $100 cashback from Nikon
amazon.com - AUD523
amazon.de - AUD568
amazon.co.uk - AUD640 (over double the price! UK is wank for tech)
There are guys on Ozbargain getting this price matched at HN, adding an extra $50 AMEX discount and then getting TSA for an end price of around AUD217! Good DSLR gear for a point and shoot price
Deal of the year so far

Re: All the Gear
Well, I've upgraded. The Note 4 got pick pocketed in Asia a few weeks back. Now there's a downside of a large phone. It shows at the top of the pocket making it easy to slide out.
I'm on the Note 5 now. Very nice piece of kit. I do like the feature where you can take notes straight to the screen when the screen is off. Great for jotting down a quicky.
The camera is a belter. It has a Pro mode where you can adjust all the settings like an SLR.
Still learning all the features. Will report back when I find more.

Should I do it or not is the question.
EDIT: I just read this review comparison. I think I'll go for it.

Re: All the Gear
I read reports online that the battery life outshines the Note 4. New features include power conservation.
I will have a standard usage day on it today so I will report back as to what is left.
I can't really see a better phone on the market right now but I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise.

I've only had it a day and I smashed its usage last night while I got everything in place and to where I like it. I went to bed with 22%.
