  1. Cool! I have an XZ Premium that is fine except for the charging port being a bit loose and having a dodgy pin. Which I guess is quite major because the cable has to be inserted, then very, very carefully moved around until all pins get contact before it will charge. Once in the optimal position, it has to be left in that spot lest the plug lose contact and stop charging. I have a replacement though. Not a Sony. My daughter bought me an OPPO A53s which is a very good phone considering the price. I was advised by a repairer here in Australia that it would be "very expensive" to repair it. However, knowing enough about phone dismantling to be dangerous to myself and others, as well as having a sometimes problematic curiosity, I think I might source a replacement charging port and have a crack at fixing it. The worst I can do is break it.

  2. New tech! I 'downgraded from a high-end Sony phone to a Samsung A32 for 5G connectivity. This RedMagic looks pretty cool. This is the first time I've heard of them. Goals? I want to have my self-contained vehicle on the road by July. The plan is to do what everyone seems to be doing nowadays, vlog around the country. I want to retrace my late teens journeys and see what's changed in the past 40 years.

  3. When the electric revolution finally comes, I'm going to really miss pulling into a station, filling with petrol in a few minutes, and then driving 500kms...with a trailer.
