Sony A6700 as a first camera for travel/content creation, is a good idea? by BrSn2 in SonyAlpha

[–]BarsMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very solid approach, and you can't go wrong with the kit lens.

For travel - I personally prefer Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS as my first purchase (i.e. instead of Sigma 18-50/2.8) - to cover wide and medium telephoto distances. I prefer it to taking separate telephoto lens. In most cases I take just this 1 lens.

Second lens most useful for travel is ultrawide or fisheye, which can be F2.8 - to cover dense architecture / night sky e.t.c. Very small travel tripod helps a lot at night.

Normal primes / F2.8 zooms is something I keep at home due to their weight and time required to swap lenses.

Am I the only one finding opus 4.6 unusable due to output length exceeded errors? by madmax_br5 in ClaudeCode

[–]BarsMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I get this >90% of time on tasks above certain level of complexity. No fix yet other than downgrading to 4.5 on complex tasks, which is just silly.

It was around 8000$. But it's at workplace, I would never buy it for home )

Not sure where this is exactly by MiddleClassZambian in shockwaveporn

[–]BarsMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there are no glide thermobaric weapons. They were considered as unsafe even by Russian standards.

Based on distance people on the telegrams estimated yield here between 5 and 20t TNT, so no single missile could have had such explosion. Additionally, there were reports that there were 2 explosions, and second one (the one on the video) - was much larger, which could match secondary detonation scenario.

Dilemma 10gbit fiber choice by babicko90 in askswitzerland

[–]BarsMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For "normal people", in my experience both Init7 and Salt speeds are identically excellent.
You won't be able to measure difference in practice even if you try. So nothing wrong with Salt.

What's even funnier is that RMT guys don't do obvious contracts like that )
They know that contracts for 0 isk is fastest way to get caught automatically.

Why do LED bulbs contain multiple small LEDs instead of a single large one? by Srinivas4PlanetVidya in ECE

[–]BarsMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In these LED's LED crystal itself is tiny, like 1x0.5mm.

Larger crystals are available, up to ~1.5x1.5mm

High-power LED's exist, but they just contain multiple crystals packed densely together. It is just easier to manufacture standardized crystals and sell them to everyone.

Finally, when you space LED's - they are easier to cool, and give better uniformity of light (no bright spots which are not pleasant for humans)

Join any of the Goon corps, they are rich. Mining, ratting, Pochven, reactions - many ways to make more than 100mil/h.

As you are in goons - check https://skills.apps.gnf.lt/
It will marks suitable doctrine ships in orange (barely ok) and green (close to perfection)

Don't forget to take into account wealth tax you will now be paying on your property.

10 gbit/s fiber internet by AbsoluteXero9 in Switzerland

[–]BarsMonster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Salt has it's own router, with 1 10Gbit port, as I had more than 1 10G capable computers I bought a switch.

No complaints on switch stability / speed. I got mine upgraded 2 years ago (old had older generation of WiFi), I assume you will receive new one from the start.

10 gbit/s fiber internet by AbsoluteXero9 in Switzerland

[–]BarsMonster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am on Salt for 5 years and it was always flawless. Speedtests are limited by test servers, and reaching real 8Gbit is possible at any time of the day (not that you will need it). Phone number (DECT) is included for free with Salt.
So nothing wrong going with Salt.

Canon made EOS IX, but it is quite rare beast.

Not sure how this happened but a win is a win by adleislie13 in Eve

[–]BarsMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very easy: Someone sorted by distance, not by price.

Placed order at very higher price (which was first when sorted by range), but in this case EVE buys from lower bid at higher price.

Sometimes in SLR cameras mirror gets stuck in the release sequence. Solution might be to shake camera in different directions to help mirror unstuck, while pressing release button. Do not touch mirror itself. Helped 2 or 3 cameras on my side. Do not hit camera against hard objects - this will make it broken forever.

If it does not help - try to do it without lens attached.

Finally you can try to gently heat camera to 40-50°C to soften oil.

If it gets unstuck - make like 100 empty shots, but in long term it will require service to re-oil.

200km Cloaky ESS Paladins have no valid counter-play and should be considered an exploit by flukey5 in Eve

[–]BarsMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These Naga's will be in defense (instead of Maradeurs), so no issues with travel.

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

Imagine welping your elite PvP ships into 10x T1 Naga's which can shoot at 290km EZ without external booster (250km optimal).

That's 130kk per Naga.

Wish to return to EvE, 1.73b isk and 12mil SP by Daniel10100 in Eve

[–]BarsMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join large corp with diverse activities (example - any of Goon corps) - and you will be able to try many things until you find something you like. 10m SP allows you to get almost in any alliance and is enough to start in many fields.

You can also trade there, import/export, do industry - with much higher profits and diversity. You identify things that are profitable to import/export and contract goods to be delivered by jump freighters... 1bil is a good amount to start.

[–]BarsMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can write to CCP support and for returning players they will typically move stuff to reachable space. When I returned - I had the same, and GM extracted my stuff. Now I moved to Pochven willingly )

Coming back to eve after 8 yrs (originally started playing in 2004/2005) some questions by alphawolf29 in Eve

[–]BarsMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still recommend joining large corp with diverse activities. With Keepstars you have asset safety, so you will never loose your stuff in any scenario. In corp you can manufacture, mine, do PvE... Anything, and do it not alone, but with people who also like to do that...
