Unfortunately it does not. I have this unit and plugged it in as I needed it for an extended time. The unit gets quite hot and gives you a message that charging will resume when the unit cools down. So I removed the battery and it rebooted and does not go past the ZTE logo.

@JusstyteN I've never heard bottle pronounced boa tbh. Its just how accents work. The further removed from a particular accent your own is the harder it is to understand. Accents across the anglosphere were born from a mixture of what British accents were in the 16, 17 and 1800s. I can understand 95% of accents spoken in English from across the anglosphere but I do sometimes struggle with really strong Scottish, Irish, deep south (US), I find the longer I speak to or listen to the speaker the more I can understand. Let's also try to remember who's using there own language and who's using someone else's 😂

@VandromedasTravels Ай бұрын
I have no clue about the click - I think it was Gill's necklace banging on her mic, but can't be sure. It's not there on next week's vid, so is more than likely that... Also, I've got a license for that track, and other such tracks, via Lick'd - there's an attribution in the description which has to be there so Lick'd can clear it - you post unlisted, it clears in roughly half an hour, then you can schedule for release. Works well, given I've got to wait until the HD version's been rendered on YT before I can pull the thumbnail together via TubeBuddy - so the thumb and schedule get done together. On the Vito - yes, we're excited - planning day trips all over the show, to showcase what beauties and stuff we have up here in the NorthEast... The Hab check... well, we shall see what we shall see...

@VandromedasTravels
@VandromedasTravels 3 ай бұрын
Ours is a 565, but I think the pros and cons stack up. Space is lovely in the living area, plenty of room to stretch out and pass each other doing mundane stuff that everybody does. The insulation of the van is amazing - means heating costs (UK, innit) are way less than we've had with other vans - also, on sweltering days, it's been cooler than we've been used to with others. Our beds are properly comfy - Gill usually sleeps better in the TM than she does at home! Cons... Being a big lad - 6'2 and cuddly - I can't always manage the lavabogatory with the door shut on the cubicle, but, since it turns into a dressing room cum washroom, that's not that big of an issue. The lighting system needs getting used to, but once you crack it, it's workable. The Garage lulls you into a false sense of security about how much you can carry, cos it's vast and can fit all kinds into it - but you've got to watch the weight a tad, else the back axle may be overloaded while you're still inside the MAM of 4.5 tonnes. Would we swap it for something else? Nope - not easily. We've yet to find anything remotely affordable that suits us as well as the TM does. And, apparently, Gill's not keen on me flogging her kidney to get a Morello...
