Thank god, I hate DST. Takes 2 weeks after every change and days are so short you can't do anything.

What I meant was I hate the switch. When we go into DST we don't switch back in fall.

Yup, got the new phone and it's a smooth, responsive piece of kit with an outstanding camera.

I got a 60 euro 'go pro' style camera that is 4k HD. And I have an old galaxy for making calls.

You use your smartphone to make phone calls? What is wrong with you?

Indeed, I find it particularly good at making calls.
(And the camera produces pics of staggeringly good quality, and has a waterproof case down to god knows how many feet. You can even attach it to stuff with many bits of plastic thingies. )

My phone (s5) is pretty good at receiving calls.
... me: not so good at answering.

I gave up on top-end 'phones when my Galaxy S5 died.
The S9+ should be released here in a couple of weeks at about £900.
My Doogee X9 Pro (perfectly adequate 'phone with a lousy camera) cost about £80, leaving me £820 to spend on a camera should I ever require one.
That said, if I was going to spend silly money on a 'phone, the S9+ does look pretty cool!

I originally read that as something else.

me too, I thought he said pizza kit. If the S9+ came with an endless make your own pizza kit, it'd be worth every penny.

Did you have an S8+ previously? If so, what are the main improvements in your opinion? Thanks Pete.

I had the S7 Edge. The screen is larger but the cameras are significantly improved. The phone is faster as well. A lot faster.

How do you slow down the people talking so you can understand them ?

It seems that everyone that's been "upgraded" to Win10 were put on a new domain, but they can't connect to resources on the old domain.
Our department was supposed to be updated to Win10 last night, but evidently a glitch in the Matrix has once again foiled DHA's nefarious plans.
Qlikview is one of the glitches (a problem with named user licenses). Further, we have two Qlikview web sites. One works when users connect from a Win10 box, and one doesn't, and nobody seems to be able to determine the reason.
Meanwhile, the DBAs are downstairs freaking out because they're afraid we're going to be given SQL2014 BIDS tools, and we're still running SQL2008R2. I'm surprised at their level of concern, especially due to the fact that when we talk to them about SQL jobs and SSIS packages, they insist they're "not programmers". When they sent me their panicked emails, I responded, "Why don't you let the programmers worry about that?". Curiously, I have to go downstairs for a meeting on Monday with the CIO.
