And no, I am not color blind. I happen to like bright colors. This shade of green does exactly what I wanted. Brighten up a room that doesn't get a lot of natural light. Now whether anyone else likes it I don't care.

Is that a Lumia phone? I had one that made browns pink.

Nailed it. Lumina 925.

[ Almost the perfect British-style insult. I might be insulting his taste, or I might be making a genuine enquiry. I shall leave it to the reader to divine my intent. ]

Best definition of "gentleman" I've come across: "a gentleman is somebody that is never unknowingly rude".

I shall leave it to the reader to divine my intent in that statement

Does it have any setting for the camera function such as colour tone, white balance etc?

Edit:
Yes it does have a few basic settings which might help as per this link

I have visions for you getting in a Homer Simpson-esque loop of throwing it on to the roof, it rolling down the roof and hitting you on the head, throwing it on to the roof, it rolling down the roof and hitting you on the head,...

Right about now it feels like that, I'm getting fed up with it sitting there mocking me

Rather liked my windows phone, cant remember which one it was, might have the 925, looks familiar.

Yeah same. I had three of them in the end. Then the death bell tolled

I liked the office lens app for them, like having a scanner in your pocket.

[bd139]

Yeah. OneDrive has that feature now at least on iOS.

But in all fairness, the SLA and nylon parts I had printed professionally have fitted first time, even with screwthreads

Well, OK, I did design the nylon part so it would deform slightly and provide a solid push-fit - but since that was design, it still counts as "working".

Having predictable tolerancies helps a lot. Though you still need to design your part correctly. You wouldn't be the first with a perfect part with reverse threads. That's why desktop printers can be a good addition to make quick prototypes you can hold and fit and do sanity checks.

I find a physical object helps a lot, even if it's just a mock-up printed on paper. When designing in CAD things like scale can get away from you so cross checking tends to help.

Too bad Word and many other mobile Office apps require signing in nowadays. Unless there's a good technical reason that's a no go for me. Tying you into the Microsoft ecosystem and aligning you to The Hive isn't a technical reason.

[bd139]

Technical reason is license control but it’s quite handy as you can run your personal finance spreadsheet anywhere which is mostly what I use mine for. It’s good enough that I’m sitting on my laptop and the sheet is up on my desktop and I can see myself editing on the other machine.

Main thing is the value proposition. MS 365 family is damn cheap at £56 a year. That’s 6 users full desktop and mobile office and 1Tb OneDrive per person. Works on 5 devices per person.

Real reason is it'd cost me more than that a year pissing around trying to get something 100x as inferior working. And I'm getting tired of self-flaggelation when it comes to productivity.

Yes,  Apple and Google could have used a competitor.

All done and everything tested and working.

Bench 1 will be the last area to be done when I muster the courage.

Lumia 925. It works great for talk and text but since Win8.1 Phone is no longer supported many of the apps have quit working. And no one writes new apps for it. Been considering upgrading for a while but not a priority.

I'm disappointed in you, I was expecting walls in Tek blue.

They are, but his camera makes them look like something else.

I loved my Lumia 521s... had 4 of 'em between my wife & myself. Fukkin' thing just plain worked. Every damned thing on the phone worked, and worked right. There wasn't much of a app store... but you didn't need it cuz they had Nokia Drive 3D GPS and a fully functional Office Suite built in, which was optimized very well for the small screen.

Most importantly, unlike most of what was out there at the time (and arguably, still is), it was a phone first, not a tiny tablet that happened to have a phone app as an afterthought. 

 The 620 they replaced my first one with when I killed it on the job was the polar opposite... 3x more expensive, slow, bad battery life and buggy as hell.

I took it back within the week and got myself a used 521 off fleaBay. Then another when I killed that one.

Your sin will be absolved when you flip it on fleabay.
