Maybe, although it’s multiple people, so seems like it wouldn’t be a camera fault.
Possibly it’s how they are getting to me - I don’t get them directly, they come to via someone else, and I think the someone else may be getting them via WhatsApp (which I don’t use).
So in fact it’s maybe the compression from WA, rather than an issue with HEIC? I should have thought of that before!
Maybe they’re doing something else to their files then, but seriously they are grainy as hell.
Ah, that’s a shame. Thanks anyway though :-)
Yeah I hate this too - one of my clients regularly supplies images as HEIC files and they are always crappy to work with. Plus the images just seem much lower quality, which is a problem when they are being used for professional purposes.
I considered that, but it’s a paid app - yes it’s only a token amount (99p in UK, ymmv) but just as a point of principal, am I fuck paying extra just to be able to open some photos.
I think I’ve got that but have never played it. Must get it running one day!
Oh, that would have been perfection! 😁
Was kind of hoping that at the end we’d hear a distant, “Ow!”
No problem!
There’s one at [email protected] :-)
Can’t disagree with that.
Re the anti-English thing, maybe I just saw it because I had a few mates from south of the border who got the odd comment.
For sure, most are fine with it. But as a teuchter I did find quite a few struggling to understand my accent, which is pretty mild, and I’m pretty sure making fun in hindsight. I socialised mostly with other Scots as a consequence.
Well, that sounds unfortunate, but it also sounds like at least some of it was stuff you were thinking (possibly correctly) might have happened rather than knowing for sure it did. And if “most are fine with it”, that doesn’t really explain you socialising mostly with other Scots.
I’m from Fife, have a bit of an accent, occasionally had to clarify for someone who didn’t pick up what I said, but never found it to be a serious issue at all.
And it wasn’t like I didn’t have to ask for clarification myself sometimes. I had friends from Manchester, Liverpool, Norwich, London, Northern Ireland, the west of Scotland, Germany… At some point I probably asked all of them to explain something I hadn’t caught, but not in a way that implied criticism or judgement.
Don’t get me wrong, I was very aware of the whole “yah” phenomenon, but it certainly didn’t put me off hanging out, or getting on, with people from all over the place, including some of those apparent “yahs” who often turned out just to be perfectly decent young people who happened to have what we might consider a posh accent, and found themselves in an unfamiliar town surrounded by a populace which in many cases was actively hostile to them, just because they were English.
become more prejudiced against the wealthy and the English
Quite a telling sentence. It’s not just the wealthy, it’s the English themselves, regardless of wealth.
Not the other UK nations, not non-Scottish students generally - no, it’s specifically the English you hate. Slow hand clap…
As a football ⚽ fan, I can confirm that time moves excruciatingly slowly when defending a 1 goal lead, and absurdly quickly when a goal behind.
I was at Edinburgh and while there were some like that, by far the majority of students I encountered were just young people living their lives. Tbh I’ve seen more prejudice against English people than by English students against Scots.
Yeah it’s terrible when people make over-broad and prejudiced generalisations, eh?
I don’t think the article is saying that the university itself discriminates against Scottish students (other than some tutors asking for people to repeat what they said, which given a high number of non-Scottish/EAFL staff isn’t surprising tbh).
It’s saying that other students sometimes do though, which is a problem.
Yeah, likewise :-)
And you’re right of course.
Not if the answer is Perth.
Although some would argue there’s a lot of foreshadowing.
