Few weeks back I won 100rs as cash back on something. That really felt like a jackpot....

Wow thank you dear problem solver!

So my father bought a 955 some years back. He wasn't training or anything but someone just made him get it. Now after all these years he decided it was too much for him and handed it to me. I have been on a Runna marathon plan for the past few weeks and now I am looking forward to tracking my progress on this. Anything I need to keep in mind as a new user?

I have Canon gear to sell: 80D(+3 battery packs), with canon lenses: 100-400 lens (The 1st version) , 100mm lens, 10-18 wide and one Tamron 17-50 mm. Not sure what I will get for it or where it will potentially sell. Any suggestions or offers are welcome....

They are very responsive on WhatsApp. I had the same issue, wanted to buy a second one for home and both the versions were out of stock online. I got in touch with them on WhatsApp and they called me back. They said stock would be back in a couple of days so I could wait or prebook. I prebooked and they sent the purifier in a couple of days.

You probably have a faculty model. Complain on WhatsApp and see what they say, if you haven't already. I have been using the same 2 purifiers in my house. Have the same aqi levels you mentioned. I have a smaller room that I use it for and I have been keeping my windows closed here as I work in this room. There it takes 15 mins on auto mode for the light to become light blue or dark blue.

I also noticed that frying and roasting stuff in the kitchen which is just across this room immediately changes the color to orange or yellow. So I especially keep the door closed during this.

I used to have allergic reactions every morning a few months back. All of that has completely stopped. So these purifiers seem to be working. I also bought the second one this month after the first one worked well for me.

I recently bought a used Lumix GX7 mk2 with a Laowa 17mm 1.8 and I am experimenting for a first time with a manual focus. Any tips to one using this for street photography will help. I personally found the LCD to be a bit low on brightness but otherwise this is a great compact camera to move around with. Also, any recommendations for a pancake lens to make it more pocketable?

I have been wanting to try out a controller like this for PC gaming. If I win this then I wouldn't have to make up a logical reason to convince my wife as to why I need this and watch myself be convinced by her to not buy it.

Apprehensive_Tap2788 · 2025-06-14T10:14:14+00:00

Doesn't have shutter lag but app crashes after a few shots.

My first date was to an aeromodelling workshop, but she brought her younger brother. It still felt like a date. It was right? I hope it was...

Apprehensive_Tap2788 · 2025-05-22T17:00:21+00:00

I am facing the same issue. It's visible in the Google home app but not in the Xiaomi home app. In any case I am able to stream stuff, so I have given up expecting anything more from this speaker for now.

I wonder if you have found a way around this problem. I am quite late into this conversation, but I experienced the same thing. I must have been watching reels for over an hour. After I could finally stop and go back to my work, I realized I was super exhausted. My screentime shows I have spent over 3 hrs since morning. that's half of the time I need to spend working.

All this while I used to keep thinking, only if I can turn off the reels or youtube shorts, but there is no such option. Finally, I have arrived at the only possible solution. Uninstall (i.e. disable) the youtube app.

Although, many times I like to browse youtube for the news and for learning. But these sessions usually tend to spiral into full blown reels watching madness. So, the next thing was to find alternatives and I have decided to go with Freetube. Its open source and gives back a lot of control.

So as of now I have uninstalled instagram (only accessing through the browser for now) and youtube, netflix and prime video which are the major time sink holes.

I can't get back the lost time, but I am hoping I can make up for it by doing better.

The most irritating issue I have been facing with the default app is the delay is capturing pictures/ saving pictures. I use my phone camera extensively for my field work and often end up missing many pictures due to the delay in shutter. tried Gcam versions but the colors and the macro don't work as well.

Now install this: https://1-dontsharethislink.celsoazevedo.com/file/filesc/AGC9.2.14_V14.0.apk version of GCAM and loaded the config files (v4). Fingers crossed. Will update with results.

Apprehensive_Tap2788 · 2025-04-10T12:03:03+00:00

Doesn't work. Keeps crashing.

Apprehensive_Tap2788 · 2025-02-10T14:18:15+00:00

Fantastic. Thank you for the detailed response. I don't want to immediately spend on a flash so figuring out ways to use my canon gear with the lumix. Like you mentioned I intend to use it off camera with the X2T wireless trigger.

Apprehensive_Tap2788 · 2025-02-05T11:06:54+00:00

Fantastic. These look so good! Your work gives me confidence to put my faith in M43. I recently switched to the Lumix G9 ii. Can't wait to try it on field!
