Incredibly lengthy complaint email sent, now to try and get some money back from the hotel that's charged me twice, then maybe I'll get some sleep. |

Chrome has a new design (rounded and circly, with changes to colours too) and I mildly dislike it, but not strongly enough to change to any of the other free alternatives available. |

My phone tells me what percentage of battery each app or service has used. 70% battery left. 10% used on the screen 4% used on system 3% used on idle A load of apps and services listed at 1 and 2% each. When you add up the total usage it comes to... 23%! Where is my other 7%! What have you done with it Google! Explain yourself Doccy G. |

Rounding errors? Failing that, I think most battery life accounting like this is (on some levels) an approximation. And the approximations might lead to error ie. not adding up to 100%. |

I suspect it only shows a service if it breaches the 1% threshold. Or Google are stealing my battery to power their built in surveillance service. I've seen Snowdon, I know what happens, wake up sheeple! |

Our business is relocating next year to Leyland. Old Leyland DAF headquarters, all getting revamped so that will be nice. Only trouble is it's an extra 20 miles a day for me. Going to request a work from home day each week I think, happens for other folk here already so should be ok. Either that or more monies plz. |

One of these (yellow) is a fake. Half the price of the other. Or twice the price of a similarly made Rucksack. Hey ho. So, I cancelled my card 2 weeks after ordering worried it was a scam, failed the security test* so I couldn't get another bank card and 3 days later the 2 fake bags (one is elsewhere) arrived in the post. *"what is account balance", "name a regular credit and amount" |

Taking a morning flight from Singapore on Qatar Air going via Doha - boooo. However, it is acceptable to start drinking at 9am as it's definitely 9pm somewhere, right? And airports have no timezone. |

Chose the sensible route. However, slept most of the flight to Doha so I’ve effectively just had a full nights sleep even though it’s now currently it’s 6.30 pm for my body clock , 1.3pm local time in this middle eastern dust bowl and 11.30am where I’m headed... I think that calls for a drink. |

They love a good debate, airport security. "Ah, now that you mention it, that's totally fine." said none of them. Rookie error there, MrChris - knowing what time it is. Order first, think about time second. |

All this talk of video resolutions elsewhere got me thinking about audio. I have a shiny new stereo with both a tuner and bluetooth. Radio 3 broadcasts on DAB at 192kbps MP2 (sometimes 160kbps if the cricket's on), but streams at a far more modern codec at 320kbps online. If I take that stream and zap it over to the stereo using Bluetooth, would I get a noticeable improvement in sound, everything else being equal? Or is FM still the best way to enjoy obscure modernist sounds and Petroc Trelawney's dulcet tones? |

People have been complaining about DAB's low audio quality for almost as long as its existed (mp2 was already thoroughly obsolete when it launched.) Even assuming it gets re-compressed for the Bluetooth part (which it might or might not... life is confusing) it'll probably still sound better.

Echoing DocG, I notice a much improved sound at home when streaming through the Chromecast audio versus DAB on the same hardware. |

| Post subject: | Re: 1st world problems |
Thanks! I like the idea of the Chromecast Audio as a longterm solution. About the only benefit of DAB over FM is that Classic FM becomes listenable as its analogue signal has clearly been processed to be heard over a car engine rather than at home. Not that I listen to the commercial offering. Except for Rob Cowan's show. And when I'm not open-minded enough to enjoy a modernist or 'world music' piece on the Third and just want some easy background stuff by dead nineteenth-century Germans. And the film and game music programmes are quite good. And... |

But it was £4 and there was no saying I was going to get more than a couple of chapters out of it (because I was so tired by that point) so I didn't bother I went to sleep instead. Good call though.
