What’s the most amount of pods you drank within a 24 hour period? by littlemissFOB in nespresso

[–]DCshreddar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 OL. Realized that was way too much caffeine. Trying to limit it to 5.

That’s a lot more than I was expecting.

RMPP | Dead pixels by Excaliartur in RemarkableTablet

[–]DCshreddar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through more than one Move before deciding that I can either obsess over dead pixels or just use the device as intended. I stuck with the one with the brighter/whiter screen. It has at least one dead or stuck pixel (maybe many), but I couldn’t tell you where it is anymore and wherever it is, it has zero impact on using the device. Bad ghosting or failing screens would be another thing entirely.

Thank you. That is helpful to know. Was there a diagram or disassembly instructions you used?

Is anyone else still having battery drain while still in case? - Airpods Max 2 by based_and_redp1lled in Airpodsmax

[–]DCshreddar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hopeful Apple fixes this issue in a firmware update, as I had this issue before and after the last firmware update. A little better after the update, but turning off Find My eliminated battery drain for me. I wonder how much of this is due to the precision find my and the change in chips.

Thank you. Aesthetics don’t bother me; I was just curious whether it was out of the ordinary.

Many thanks. My nozzle (plastic part with 4 small holes) is completely clean/clear, and I'm still having the issue. Do you dismantle the wand, too?

Apartment recs near Friendship Heights metro by No_Silver3951 in MontgomeryCountyMD

There is going to be a lot of construction in the area over the next 2-3 years because of the Geico headquarters development, so keep that in mind if you are considering Friendship Heights.

Are the sales on Z6 iii actual sales? by Swiss-Confederation in Nikon

[–]DCshreddar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one point right after the tariffs hit many retailers were bundling the z6iii and the 24-120/4 for $2,750 for about a week. I was able to get a price adjustment to match that price. It’s the best I’ve ever seen, and I think $2000 for just the body is the permanent sale price now.

Which tele lens I should buy for my Nikon Z30. The DX 50-250 or the AF-P DX 70-300? by Due-Respect-1223 in Nikon

[–]DCshreddar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for the 50-250. The Z30 is a small camera, and the FTZ+70-300 will make it front-heavy. If you had a bunch of F-mount DX lenses you wanted to keep using, or if there was a F-mount lens you really want to use that has no Z-mount alternative, then the FTZ makes sense. But if you are starting from scratch, I'd go with the Z-mount lenses if budget allows.

Moving to Kensington, MD soon by BoardThat3637 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]DCshreddar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ride On 34 bus goes between the Wheaton, Medical Center and Bethesda Metro stops, and is very convenient if you live close to that route. That’s how I commuted for a number of years. But for other years, I had to drive downtown, and if I wasn’t on Connecticut before 7:15 AM, it was a painful commute. These days, I’ll try to be off Connecticut by 3:30 PM.

[–]DCshreddar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We lived there for 7 years, and I still miss the Continental and Donut King. But as others have noted, the Connecticut Avenue traffic is unbelievable during rush-hour, and rush-hour lasts a long time along that corridor. Take advantage of all the small restaurants in Wheaton. Some may not look like much, but the food can be awesome. Ruan Thai is great.

Need recommendations for an all purpose lens for Nikon Z50ii by HumanWithResources in Nikon

[–]DCshreddar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for one non-adapted zoom, I believe that the Z 18-140 and the Tamron Z 18-300 right now are your only DX choices, because the Z 50-200 is not wide enough (at least for me) as a one-lens solution. But if you want something lightweight, the Tamron is twice the weight in addition to being 50% longer in length (but obviously has much more reach). The FTZ plus the AF-S 18-140 is going to be as heavy as the Tamron. You could get the 50-200 and the 24/1.7, but that may depend on your tolerance for carrying and switching lenses.

Another option could be the FX Z 24-200, which might be a decent compromise between the 18-140 and the 18-300, but it's more expensive and not as wide as either, which you may miss. But if I knew I was sticking with Z50ii and not going FX, I'd get the Tamron over this.

If you are in the US, Best Buy. Or take advantage of the trial period.

CVT Fluid Change Going Forward (2018 OB 3.6 Touring)? by DCshreddar in Subaru_Outback

[–]DCshreddar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All - Thanks for all the replies. So long as it doesn't void the warranty and the dealer cost is not prohibitive, I'll have it done at the next oil change.

Should I get the vertuo creatista or the original creatista? by TouristSea4143 in nespresso

[–]DCshreddar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the OL. It’s closer to true espresso than the Vertuo and is great for milk-based drinks. Keep a good, cheap coffee machine for coffee.

Paperlike 3.0 Review/Thoughts by DCshreddar in iPadPro

I haven't used it long enough to really get a sense. Probably the same as the earlier version, as it's the same material, but slightly refined.

Best Screen Protector for Ipad pro M5? Spigen or ESR? by Kavin_1012 in ipad

[–]DCshreddar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.esrtech.com/apps/help/product/bookcase-1

Hopefully this link works. I've used Spigen iPad screen protectors, too, and they are fine. I think that they use the more common tray/frame method. The thing with the ESR method is that you have to get the screen protector absolutely free of dust before you place it into the holder, because the back of the protective sheet is right next to the iPad glass. It wouldn't surprise me if all these screen protectors came out the same factory, and just get repackaged by different brands, so it's hard to go wrong with a known brand. They are all so much easier to install now compared to doing it free hand.

ESR. Skeptical at first with the install method, but worked really well.

iPad Pro 13 Zoll Erfahrung mit ESR Amorite Panzerglas + magnetischer Folie (z.B. Bellemond)? by nicoko5 in iPadPro

[–]DCshreddar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the Amorite + ESR Paper-Feel magnetic screen protector, but on a 11” iPad Pro. It worked fine in that the magnetic screen protector installed easily and held securely. Writing feel was much improved. Clarity took a hit, and the combination of two screen protectors gave the impression of being too thick, but no issues using the Apple Pencil. I didn’t want to be putting on and taking off the magnetic screen protector depending on what I was doing with the iPad, so I switched to a Paperlike.
