    I used to be the same but I now have an Apple Macbook with MAC OS and Windows 10 loaded. I have always been a corporate Windows guy, but recently a Windows update screwed my PC so I switched to MAC and iPhone and all the integration is great and seamless. Windows now sucks it would not even find my iPhone personal hotspot or Bluetooth devices (keyboard mouse etc)

    The MacBook is great for frequent travellers as well sitting between an iPad and full size Mac or MacBook

    Not ordered an iPhone 10 and don’t get releasing the 8 just before either - Apple never been the same since Steve died.

    So who grabbed a iPhone X today?

    My iPhone 6 is struggling and battery gone to hell so I bit the bullet and ordered one.

    In 1996 I was buying a dinner suit for my wedding . The guy showed my wife to be and I a cheaper suit then a Hugo Boss without mentioning price . Of course we went for the Boss which I still wear( although am thinking of an Anthony Sinclair in midnight blue).
    My 17 year old son needs his first dinner suit . The same guy still sells suits albeit no bricks and mortar.
    He came round with a couple of options the poly suit package ( suit shirt tie ) $270 we thought a good deal then showed us the wool with satin lapel $650 history repeated we went for that!

    Funny you should mention that, I recently bought a pre-loved black Brooks Bros dinner jacket for the mere fact that I wanted to complete my suit collection. It was handmade and tailored for a BB client back in '85 and the measurements are spot-on with a bit of drape on the chest area. Downside was that I need to get matching trousers for it and it has a single fish-mouth vent on the back of it. It has satin faced shawl lapels with a welt breast pocket and (oddly) welt side pockets which I found to be quite adventurous for such a jacket and the standard spaced two button cuffs, as per usual with BB of this era.
    I'll need to alter the cuffs, which are a tiny bit too short. Fortunately it has the material to do so. I was eyeing a DJ and trousers from BB on eBay and a seller was kind enough to allow me to purchase the trousers separately. They have an adjustable waist which will go well with a QoS Bond look. When I go to alter the cuffs, I am toying with the idea of installing turnback cuffs on the end of the sleeves like on the Dr No/QoS/tMwtGG dinner jackets, respectively.
    a reasonable rate of return

    I've recently got one of those 18:9 ratio phones, and
    Am very impress when watching the Bond films on
    It -{ Many can be put on full screen and that makes
    A big difference on viewing , to kill some time.

    In a recent photo of Mark Zuckerberg ( Facebook ) many have pointed
    out that he has both the web cam and mic on his laptop taped over.
    Speculation is that Facebook is spying on its users ? ;)

    That was many moons ago, I remember.
    It means that everyone is spied on and he believes that (I do too, the evidence on that is outstanding)
    Dislike being spied on and I need to get a cam slider but until then I have a "snitch" application that tells me whether or not my mic or videocam is used on my MacBook (and not just when the light turns on).
    Don't know why they even bother with these things on MacBooks. The fan drowns the mic out and the camera's not great...at all but I haven't played with any of the recent ones (mine's a mid 2012, non-retina).

    Another reason, why I loathe and don't use Facebook:

    Turns out that in 2014, a company called Cambridge Analytica issued an app called thisisyourdigitallife.
    Users of this app allowed the company to access their Facebook account and gather many highly personal data for a personality analysis*

    270.000 users gave their go.

    What they did not know, thisisyourdigitallife went thru their Facebook contacts and sniffed those people out in the same way.

    That way, one thisisyourdigitallife user in average gathered data from 300 more FB users.

    Later on, Steve Bannon with the help of the Mercer Family bought and used these data for the Trump campaign and for his war against american society.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/06/us/politics/cambridge-analytica.html

    * they were obviously ‚harvesting‘ the user‘s FB likes which all add up to create an elaborate complex personality profile.

    Sony are now getting into that foldable smart phone market, as a Sony fan I think this looks great. https://www.t3.com/news/this-is-the-sony-xperia-folding-phone-video-youve-been-waiting-for

    My only complaint with a foldable phone is, it's bound to be
    Thicker than a normal big screen phone. ? I have a Samsung s9+
    And love the screen on it. I'm happy with 6.2 inches ;% ;)

    NIt’s all about how you use it hey TP :007)

    It would be an interesting piece of tech though. Here’s Samsung’s concept.

    On a personal note, I've finally got round to putting a
    Few cards on my phone to make payments, and a couple
    On my watch. So Now I can pay for stuff by just waving my
    Phone or watch........... wow, I'm gonna look such a prat :D
    It's already a little embarrassing answering calls on my
    Watch, but as a child of the 70s. It is the future.... Today !

    Love my new wallet. It has a lever activated card dispenser, and much smaller
    than a traditional wallet. -{

    I was at work yesterday for a long time, around 13 hours. My new phone is a
    Samsung S10. I used it a lot ( to kill time, you don't expect me to work do you ?) ;)
    When I got home, I still had 60% power left, I was very impressed.
    As a tip for anyone, I had a problem when watching movies on the S10 from Google
    play movies. As I couldn't get them to go full screen, they's stop at the camera notch.
    Luckily I discovered that if you watch your purchases on YouTube, you can then watch
    them Full Screen.

    Just picked up a new firestick ( the lite version ) and I'm amazed at how much quicker it is
    compared to my really old first gen firestick. -{

    Not so much new Tech but a very useful item, I got from Amazon.
    It's a desk lamp with a built in wireless charger in the base. It's
    so convenient to just place my phone on it, as I post my extremely
    intellectual and thought provoking thoughts on line. ;)
