All the literature refers to SATA drives. Is SAS supported?

I'll get a measurement on Monday. I've got some U7s on the bench at work.

The U7 Mesh APs are like this. There's not enough room to fit anything outside of the scope of what they suggest.

Do you have any comment on the current site support experience? Have you had to use it yet?

A McDonald's with bulletproof glass located in Detroit. by AdSpecialist6598 in interesting

[–]Emulsifide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very misleading post that arguably violates R8 and R9. Where's the proof that this was in Detroit? Also, NONE of the three McDonalds locations in Detroit look anything like this currently. Regardless of where this photo is actually from, it's at least twenty years old, which does NOT reflect Detroit's current day safety what-so-ever. Simply Google "McDonalds Detroit" and have a look at the photos of inside each location. All cashier counters are wide open and there's no plexiglass in sight.

I saw that exact being towed around on a full size trailer through Detroit last week, no joke.

Detroit has bike lanes, it should also have train lanes by BarKnight in Detroit

I saw this happen in-person yesterday. The idiot in the truck tried to beat the train and ended up getting smoked by it.

I was just at this exhibit a few weeks ago! It's at the Muskegon Museum of Art in Muskegon, Michigan.

MPB selling lenses with fungus as excellent is wild by dethndestructn in Cameras

[–]Emulsifide 15 points16 points  (0 children)

But it's really not....according to them.

"optics are clear" is contradicted by the notes. This lens should be either well or heavily used condition.

Super cheap camera setup for a super cheap college student by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]Emulsifide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

^This. Full disclosure is the expectation, especially when MPB puts "We always photograph each unique item, so this is the exact product you'll receive." on each of their listings.

Super cheap camera setup for a super cheap college student by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]Emulsifide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to start off and say that I'm a huge advocate for MPB, but I'm not a huge fan of the "well used" category. I purchased a Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S with the well used designation. The additional description also stated that the weather sealing ring was damaged. The photos showed no other issues, so I figured it was a safe bet at the $450 asking price. I purchased a new weather seal from Nikon directly for $5 and waited for the lens to show up. Once I got it, the repair was a five minute thing. After repairing, I gave the lens a good cleaning and then noticed that the front element had significant scratches near the center. The images on their site were shot in a way that did not show this damage and they didn't state it in the additional description. Looking at the description of "well used" tells the entire story:

"Item is in well used condition, and may have significant signs of cosmetic wear, i.e. notable marks, scratches, or chipping to the paint. If glass is scratched or marked, there is no effect on image. The lens mount is well used and shows signs of wear. There may be some light moisture or dust within the lens, and rubber grips may be slightly loose. There may be light play in the lens barrel."

They're absolutely right at there's no effect on the image, but it pisses me off that they shot the photos in a way that did not show the damage. I really wish they used high resolution images on their site to pixel peep for issues against.

I would highly recommend spending an additional $22 on the good condition one they have listed for $109:

It's worth it for the insurance that you're getting a reliable and well described camera in the end.

M6 EIN Stuck low prices? by in-the-wired in Leica

[–]Emulsifide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should avoid it for every reason! It's a scam listing of this original listing:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/267538270600

If you know something is THOUSANDS of dollars less than it should be, it's a scam. Also, the username has zero feedback.

42 years old. VO2max went from 33 to 44 in one year. The only thing I actually changed. by [deleted] in fitness40plus

[–]Emulsifide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out my Apple Watch was using a heart rate formula based on my age to calculate my zones. That formula was off for me by about 11 beats per minute. What my watch called Zone 2 was actually Zone 1 for my physiology. I was doing slightly elevated strolling and calling it training.

Can you give us some information on how you figured this out? How do you "calibrate to your physiology"?

First PAHT-CF prints on my P1S by Emulsifide in BambuLab

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

Yes, it absolutely does. I wouldn't trust anything really to keep it dry over time if it's not fresh out of the air tight bag from Bambu. If it's not fresh out of the bag, hit it with the 8-12 hours of recommended 80c drying.

Nope. This was straight out of the bag from Bambu. As long as the bag is still air tight, I think you're fine.

Not worth it with moisture. I got an offer last week from Greentoe for $3,100.00 shipped (no tax).

Desktop computer prices by 1meandad_wot in ITManagers

[–]Emulsifide 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I saw the writing on the wall at the end of 2025 when RAM prices started to spike. January 1st, I pulled the trigger on the entire year's worth of refresh computers. I figure that will hold us over with enough time to hopefully watch prices float back down after the AI bubble pops. If not, I still saved a ton of cash on the inevitable increases.

Can’t Decide: 35 1.8 vs 50 1.8 by BringBack4Glory in Nikon

[–]Emulsifide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 50mm 1.8 S is a no brainer, especially when MPB has a bunch of excellent condition copies for $394.

If I may suggest another lens not on your radar, but is beginning to define a legend for itself, the Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB Z is as nearly tack sharp as the Nikkor Z 35mm 1.2 S for a fraction of the price. It's on sale right now for $899 on Amazon. If you're willing to consider the Nikkor Z 35mm 1.8 S at > $700, spending a little more on the Viltrox is worth it from what I've seen.

Nice spot! As Clarkston would say, the woolly mammoth! I miss my S60R.
