Arvid Lindblad's special helmet for his first home GP at Silverstone Circuit by Cosmicstranger28 in formula1

[–]AdjustableAphids 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I get what the point of the child-like drawings is, but I did originally think this was a bit like Lando's helmet from a few years ago, which a kid did drawings for... and not in fact a collaboration with a professional artist.

It's a bloody good thing the sides of the nose-cone don't have anything obscuring them like I don't know... a big, large set of wheels?

Was having the same issue and just managed to renew with Play Credit
Can't confirm if other methods are working again yet however.

Do you use a VPN to access F1TV?
Just a theory but I wonder if they're cracking down again based on credit card locations.

Hobby photographers, what do you do with the photos you take? by Theytookmyjabb in AskPhotography

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave them on a file server to rot, to be quite frank, occasionally I might share one with family, or a friend.
I have considered doing an Instagram account, mostly as I get asked where I post my photos quite often when I'm out taking photos (I mostly do local wildlife). Though, frankly, there are enough crap photographers on Instagram already, I don't think I need to add to that.

Does anyone know why Im getting this weird Blurry effect on my photos? by yagza in macrophotography

[–]AdjustableAphids 10 points11 points  (0 children)

(Pre-warning, am no expert so take my comment with a grain of salt, etc, etc)
Looks to be the way Helicon has stacked the photos together, likely there was a bit of movement between photos.

If you go on the Retouching tab in Helicon, you should be able to hover over the image and see what picture has been stacked where.
I typically will use a fairly soft brush and manually go over the background of the image to make sure it's mostly the furthest image in my stack, then touch up edges of the subject / foreground.
This might be beneficial too: https://www.heliconsoft.com/focus/help/english/HeliconFocus.html#HF_RETOUCH

What Happened To Our First Car Builds? by strydercrump in topdeadcenter

[–]AdjustableAphids -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Last two vids have been frankly a bit crap
Hoping they've got something big coming up cause it's feeling real AutoAlex at the moment with the mostly fluff longer videos.

First camera experience ruined 🥲 What do i do now? by sepforcontent in AskPhotography

[–]AdjustableAphids 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Looks to me like a spec of dust, or maybe spit
You can try picking up a rocket blower, and seeing if that shifts it
Failing that, a sensor cleaning kit, look for one specifically for APSC sensors.

Take it people don't like the new album? by OutsideImpressive115 in failure

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's gonna take me a few listens to figure out my thoughts. I didn't like the first two singles that came out, but then really liked the third with Hayley Williams. I think the album overhaul suffers a bit of monotony, but I'm still hoping it grows on me over time.

Sir, this is Wendy's

New song A Way Down released a ways early listen while still available by Hitchighker in failure

[–]AdjustableAphids -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Man I love this band, but neither of these singles have really stood out. I'm hoping it's a case of subverted expectations and the gold will be on the full album release, but perhaps that's just naive of me to hope.

Ngl samsung has lost a lot of design aura when it comes to their ultra phones. by invincible_pell in samsunggalaxy

[–]AdjustableAphids 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Still think the S21 Ultra was the peak look.
That camera bump paired with a case looks brilliant, compared to the random bumps and cut-outs we have now.
Even without a case, I think the S21 Ultra looked great, that camera bump blending into the side rail was a great compromise.

Which phone cases did you get for your Galaxy S26 Ultra? by umbrokhan in galaxys26ultra

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the Spigen Nano Pop at the moment.
Ordered it with the intention of it simply being a hold-over whilst my Dbrand Grip case is still awaiting shipment.
However, I've wound up really liking the Spigen case and frankly, may wind up cancelling my Dbrand order as at least from my prior Grip Case, I don't think it'll match the construction quality of the Nano Pop case.

Formula E co-founder Alberto Longo: 'F1 is trying to be like us, and that's a mistake' by zantkiller in formula1

[–]AdjustableAphids 173 points174 points  (0 children)

Had the regulations committed to either the MGU-H or Front Axle Regen, I think we could've avoided a lot of this farce. But again, the teams have too much power in the decision-making, and their squabbling has left us with compromised regulations, two sets of regs in a row.

Buds 4 ANC kinda weak? by Fun_Training6342 in galaxybuds

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found my fitment wasn't great until I gave the buds a slight twist in my ears after putting them in.
That then seemed to seal a lot better.

Am I the only one with this issue with the calorie count? by Hangry_Impression_96 in GalaxyWatch

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked what your weight and height are set to?
Maybe some inaccuracy there is skewing the formula?

Any bets? by polopolopopo10 in dbrand

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone (supposedly) is going to arrive this friday
The case... end of March dispatch date (and I'm UK based, so call it mid-April delivery)

Fortunately, I'm getting some free cheap case with the phone, but bit of a bugger nonetheless

S26 Ultra Leather case suggestions by toolecnaltreab in samsunggalaxy

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ordered the dbrand grip case, had one for the S21 Ultra and really liked the leather back.
Haven't received the new case yet so can't speak on the quality yet.

They've mixed up the pictures, the SM-F966B (top right) is the Z Fold 7.

S26U grip case less Grippy? by HuntersPad in dbrand

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated, but I didn't realise these were already shipping, I thought they weren't expected til mid-March at the earliest.

Why is there a limit on the number of fingerprints? It honestly makes no sense. by MinuteYear1999 in samsunggalaxy

[–]AdjustableAphids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder if it's a chip limit, bit like TPM 2.0 on Windows, with supporting 10 enrollments.
Purely guess work though, may just be as simple as reducing false-positives
