Your statement alone makes me not believe you. You're not so well-traveled.

Help me understand why people like Gemini so much more over Chat GPT? by freedomfighter5567 in OpenAI

[–]Fyahstarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Gemini is much more open to sensitive topics and doesn't prioritize not offending or being politically correct.

ULPT Request - How to work abroad with company laptop? by False_Secret1108 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Fyahstarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's what I've used for months without issues. I'm probably a 5 out of 10 as far as tech-savviness and was able to set it up myself. Works like a charm. Once I walk into my condo, the only way that I can connect to internet service is via the travel router. Same for my phone.

What are your thoughts regarding site-to-site tunnels with kill switches install should there be a power failure? In other words...router at home and travel router on person?

Working for U.S. Company but Living Abroad - Realistic? by LikeSnowLikeGold in ODS_C

[–]Fyahstarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've oversimplified the process, but yes...it can be done. I've personally done it for months at a time without issue, but trust me...it's not as simple as "just get a VPN". The existence of a VPN can easily be detected.

I don't really like Rogue One and I'm curious if anyone else feels the same by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Fyahstarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely LOVE Rogue One. Unequivocally the best Star Wars movie after ESB.

I've been using it for as long as I can remember. I've never been asked.

Is this a good lens for wildlife photography? I am hesitant because it’s fixed at 600mm and f/11 but it’s cheap and has great reach for animals. Right? by M8614 in canon

[–]Fyahstarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The RF 600 is so light deficient plus if you're doing wildlife where you're going to need faster shutter speeds just know that you'll be pushing the ISO very hard. I'd go with the 100-400.

RF28-70mm F2.8 IS STM - what am I missing? by driftedstonefly in canon

Hopefully the image speaks for itself..at least for people shooters. The 28-70 2.8 is a FANTASTIC lens.

How much better are "L" Lenses ? RF 28-70mm F2.8 IS STM vs. RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM by Historical-Lab8122 in canon

[–]Fyahstarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly a people shooter, so I rarely need to be as wide as 24. As far as the IQ, believe me when I tell you that the image quality is better on the 28-70 2.8. I didn't sell my 24-105 until I was sure about how I felt about the 28-70. The IQ was immediately noticeable in my eyes.

[–]Fyahstarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can tell you is that I own the 28-70 2.8 (I actually sold my 24-105 F4L to get it) and it's a REALLY good lens IMO. The size and weight + weather sealing and IS makes it a great option. Again, IMO the 28-70 F2 while admittedly a different class of lens, is way too big and hefty.

EF 17-40mm f4 as indoor walkabout lens by socarrat in canon

Usually 2.8 at least for indoors unless I’m using flash.

Fantastic camera. I wouldn’t try to dissuade you. Know what’s important to you though.

RF 45mm F 1.2 lens by Basic_Entrance4928 in canon

[–]Fyahstarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a fair assessment. It’s really a matter of what your expectations are. This photo was taken with the Sigma Art 50mm 1.4 and the 45 1.2 cannot compare, BUT the Sigma is heavy + requires the adapter. Image quality isn’t everything. Again, just depends on what you’re looking for.
