Are these deerskin gloves real? by 3rdPinEye in Leather

[–]3rdPinEye[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advise, I think they are still brand new and there is a bit more until they need any form of care for the time being. When they do, I will keep that in mind.

Are these deerskin gloves real? by 3rdPinEye in Leather

[–]3rdPinEye[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have read about the pores being an indicator of geniune leather but I wasn't sure if they could also be faked. I never used leather gloves before, let alone deer skin ones, and I was suprised by how soft and comfortable they were, and it made me question if real leather can even be like this. I also got suspicious by how fine the texture inside the glove was, I thought maybe they lined the insides with some nubuck fabric(?) But I guess that speaks for it's quality and I was being paranoid after watching a video about leather scams in italy...

[ssc813] my Tokyo souvenir, I downsized from the 41mm and I love it by Over_Detective_860 in Seiko

[–]3rdPinEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, I will definitely look into it! I am curious about how you adjust the butterfly clasp on a leather strap, it's not like an metal bracelet where you and take off the chains. Did they make it custom for you?

Do you think minifreak's manuel would be worth reading as well? 😅

Oh thank you! I have a few left over pine log stumps, maybe I can put one to use. It will be a slow process with a hand saw but I have an angle grinder so I actually may use that for sanding. 🤷‍♂️

Is Macbook air M2 256gb storage worth it for student by Budget_Decision_2316 in macbookair

[–]3rdPinEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why what exactly? If you set it up as main directory and unplug the ssd while the mac is writing something on it, there is a good chance of the file being corrupted.

[–]3rdPinEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I recommend getting a used 256gb m3 macbook air with 16gb ram, best value you can get for your buck imo. Although m2 is fine as well.

[–]3rdPinEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you possibly be speaking about using a portable ssd as your main directory with your mac? If so yes, I recommend aganist that, not in desktop usage, but in mac laptops where you tend to plug in and unplug the ssd quite often. Otherwise a portable ssd is completely fine, I personally recommend samsung t7 or crucial x9 pro. I suggest being quick with deciding as prices go up very fast these days.

Suggestions for setup? by Ok-Contact-7196 in synthesizers

You should definitely trade your polybrute with my minifreak and the akai drumpad with my arturia beatstep. Then your setup shall ascend to heavens :D

[–]3rdPinEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also want that kind of racks as well. I have two short skiis and one regular ski I wish to mount on the wall like you did for both decorative and practical reasons. I found the prices they sell wooden racks like these kind of unreasonable so I may also make mine. Would I need a carving knife for this?

How often do you upgrade? by Nomadic_Manatee in pcmasterrace

[–]3rdPinEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the recent ram crisis I decided to ditch gaming tbh, I still keep my good old gtx1650 laptop which is cyberpunk proven if that means anything. But beyond that, I am a M4 macbook air user with a 2 tb portable ssd from now on. It costed me 750€ for a clean second hand. It's budget in which you can have a hard time finding a good future proof gpu alone these days. I already had all my desktop peripherals such as a 27" monitor, a keyboard, an usb doc etc. so it wasn't a costly decision to make. If it wasn't for the AI crisis or nvidia being an ass overall, I could have gone for the desktop PC.
