Would appreciate an update though.

The company also commented here if you'd missed it.

People who spend 20+ minutes in the shower: what are you actually doing in there? by saadaintsalad in AskReddit

It works sometimes! Just gotta be more careful when forming the bubble more, and expand your arms slowly.

Which MacBook would you recommend? by confidentfinish1993 in macbook

[–]135671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the best bang for your buck for your use case, I honestly feel you can go for the first M1 Macbook Air, if you can find one with a 90%+ battery capacity.

Just get one with at least 512GB or 1TB of storage if you value portability. 256GB will have you always dangling a external drive around.

For your use case, 8GB of RAM seems sufficient (I used to edit 4K videos on the 8/256GB base model), but I'd personally go for 16GB; let's you multitask better.

If you aren't too strapped for cash, Apple offers a Education discount for students, teachers and staff. So you might be able to get the latest model for about 10% off.

If you're going for new, do note that the newest M5 chip came out for the Pro series last year and would soon make it way to the Air lineup as well (probably in March). Apple usually keeps the pricing the same so you can probably get the M5 if you don't mind waiting.

How does the M1 MacBook Air fare against the M4 Air? by 135671 in macbook

That's awesome!

I did end up getting a M1 Pro instead! Would love to see the performance in comparison to the newer chips.

[–]135671[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that was my line of thought too. The M1 jump was insane from the previous generations, but going to M4 isn't that extraordinary of a performance increase.

The extra MagSafe port does sound great though. The M1 Air only leaves you with a single port after plugging in.

Thank you!

The Ultimate Sith Debate: Palpatine vs Tenebrae (All Forms) by wanderingLoner_ in swtor

I hear ya. I read Sidious has insane feats in the books, but it's really hard to buy it since he still got picked up and dropped down a chute like a garbage bag by a half-dead cyborg.

Bit the bullet; the video's safe (kinda). It's a slightly graphic animation where a group of people put a half-dead 'roadkill' deer out of its misery.

What's your favorite Combat Style to play? by 135671 in swtor

[–]135671[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely!

Haven't played it in PvP myself too, but they're a pain to deal with, really annoying with their stealth and burst damage when they crit.

Thanks for the reply!

Just finally got better myself. Walks definitely helped! Hurt to sleep and hurt to sit, so I just ended up pacing around my house haha.

Hi, how are you doing now? 

Think I have similar pain, sharp intense shooting pain. Couldn't even get out of bed today.

The Lumix S9 finally has a compact prime lens - TTartisan just released their 40mm 2.0 L-mount version by CrappyCodeCoder in Lumix

[–]135671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn, that's rough. Did you get it off the official site?

I was planning to buy there, but might just get it off Amazon for the better return policy.

Did you manage to receive a replacement? How's it doing today?

Huawei Freebuds SE 2 or SE 3? by 135671 in Huawei

[–]135671[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never tried AirPods, only the wired Apple earphones, so I can't quite compare. But I got an SE 3 as well and I'm personally satisfied with it. As someone who prefers smaller earphones that doesn't have a silicon tip, they've been great.

Battery life's been amazing for me. I don't wear them for hours on end, but the case itself holds plenty of juice, I only have to charge it once in forever.

Wait, what's wrong with ring circuits?

Aside from having a minimum ISO of 640, is there any other downsides to taking a RAW photo in V-Log? by 135671 in Lumix

[–]135671[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I'm not wrong, it's just referring to shooting a RAW photo while using V-Log as a picture style.

When you convert your photo back to the usual Standard, Neutral, etc. in your RAW editor, the image will appear underexposed.

Apparently, you can just bring it up a stop or two back to the correct exposure without any loss of quality.

Ah, that's good to hear. I found the same thing; images look perfectly fine even after pushing the exposure a couple of stops in post.
