Re: Looking For New Tablet

Yes, but the description clearly says 'Samsung charger 25w'
It does say that but 108bt would be a bit optimistic for an original Samsung charger!

Re: Astronomy, cosmology and space thread

I found it interesting that NASA were going up to photograph the eclipse with their old modified B57 aircraft which were originally based on the British Canberra bomber:

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?

It's everywhere: Global median year-on-year domestic food price inflation in 2023Q3 averaged above 8 percent, down from its peak of nearly 14 percent in November 2022. By November 2023, the median food price inflation had fallen to 6 percent. https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/food-prices-mirro...

Re: Which Mobile Phone?

I survived on cheap mobiles for years but recently life has got more complicated and now I need these security apps to achieve anything in Europe. I've got one to OK online credit card transactions, one to put electronic signatures on government documents and another to access work stuff. Basically ...

Wouldn't bother many but would me, I'd get the X5 on Laz personally

My latest Samsung doesn't have a headphone jack but usb-c adaptors are very cheap.
I think this one was 10 euros.

Yes, I've got over 6000 pictures on mine and it's still only half full.

Re: Looking For New Tablet

^Yes, I've just had a look and I found four of those usb-c cables without leaving my seat!
As for chargers, I have one that's at least 15 years old and they long outlive the devices they came with.

Re: Looking For New Tablet

I got one of those cables with my last Samsung phone. It's usb-c male at both ends and they give it to you because you can use it to data transfer everything from an old phone. You can basically clone the phone, settings, apps, photos etc in about ten minutes. I'm assuming it's the same with their t...

Re: News of the Weird - this just in!

Well, honestly, I can't see why it would only affect one particular group. Would the female or male sex workers not be affected? But as your post is only a screenshot, it's not possible to tell what the whole story is. I don't know if anything has changed but when I lived in Jakarta in the 90's, pr...

Re: Tonnes of carcinogenic cadmium in Samut Sakhon go missing

^What worries me about these sort of cases in Asia is that I'm left with a suspicion that this sort of thing goes on all the time and this one only came to light because something went wrong.

Re: Tonnes of carcinogenic cadmium in Samut Sakhon go missing

I suppose when they were transporting it, it was just truck loads of soil so no one cared. I think the problem is the carcinogenic pollution caused by smelting it in an unauthorised fashion. Someone has dug up 10,000 tons of buried mine tailings, moved it across the country and churned out clouds of...
