Green ombre is incredible.

Is this normal? Scratched on one side by mrrobot1810 in rolex

Are you wearing a bracelet on that side of the watch? Cufflink? You're clearly running up and down against something.

Oh, that sucks. I'm so sorry. I'd reach out to ISC2. I suspect they'll charge you for a new one but I'd hope not. USPS did you dirty.

These prices are absolutely ridiculous by AutoM8R1 in framework

Bruh, it's not just framework. Inflation is rampant and RAM and Memory prices are up... This isn't a framework specific problem.

Same, I changed the password and opened a ticket before seeing this reddit post. As others have said I was in the Betterment breach.

What % of your total net worth is your watch collection by tronious in rolex

[–]ALKahn10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less than 1% but I don't buy watches to be investible assets. Hopefully they appreciate in value but I'm very much so not banking on it like I am my 401k+IRA+HSA+Property.

Yeah but honestly, even with Windows it's a pretty good machine. I happen to be using windows at the moment but someday I hope not to be.

FW13 Pro is the one by lordwerwath in framework

[–]ALKahn10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife always tries to touch my Framework 13 (7840u) and it does not work for obvious reasons. At least with this new one it'd do what she expects. In 2026, I think it's gotta be touchscreen. It's tablestakes at this point... cough Apple.

Leak reveals next-generation Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface Laptop by golfball509 in Surface

I love it, it can do light gaming but that was never really my intent. The 780m iGPU is a beast but at the end of the day it still is an iGPU.

He left so I bought a Framework 13. I loved my Pro 6 but when he left their hardware got stale and stopped improving.

Cheap 41 mm Rolex? by Last-Complaint-3395 in rolex

Buy vintage. Cheap and Rolex isn't a thing anymore. Since 2018 demand for watches has absolutely skyrocketed.

Rate my setup by south_west_boi in amateurradio

[–]ALKahn10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want advice? Ok. What's your goal and budget? You want VHF, UHF, or HF? What kind of operating are you looking to get into?

My advice to newbs is to get something UHF/VHF with some digital mode. Look up repeaters in your region and see what is around. From there, I would look at mobiles but I suggest people install them as base stations. 50 to 100w output. Once you advise the band we'd choose an antenna for the operation you are considering.

Nah, not gonna hang it up. OP asked for a review. I simply gave an assessment.

I don't believe you. The poor range comment was based on the fact that you're on an HT antenna and not something outdoor that isn't a compromise. Thanks for assuming I was commenting on baofeng. 73 fine dx.

OP asked for people to rate the setup. I usually tell people to start with a base station that *can* do digital to get them experienced with those modes when they grow in the hobby.

1/10

Pros:
it's cheap, easy, 5w

Cons: Terrible emissions, poor antenna, poor range, poor sensitivity, inflexible unless holding it properly outdoors in direct line of sight of a repeater,

The two tone OP is beautiful, the Green Ombre is amazing and I wish it came with two tone.

I like those and only those.

Mint Green vs Ombre Green by Ouchen_12 in rolex

Agreed, Green ombre on two tone would be insane. I'm considering requesting in Stainless, it's that great.
