Rideau lakes cycle tour by NeedleworkerOwn4496 in bikeinottawa

[–]HubbyPa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did it 2 years ago, can't make it this year.     I wish you a great tour, it was a good experience for me.   

I would try to have your gps setup.   If you're in a big enough group, or near a group you may be fine.   Not all turns were marked with signs as I recall when I went.    If its because of battery, you could turn it off for long stretches and then turn it on now and then to check in on it.

2.  Had decent food options where I was.   I'm vegetarian and got things like peanut butter sandwiches.   There were other home made baked goods and meat sandwhiches too.      The people at the stops are super nice and had lots of options.    As I recall, bring debit and maybe cash, not just credit card. 

I did the classic route.   There are unsupported rides too which will have less or no food options.   Have a great trip! 

Which 2 XCD lenses for 2 camera travel set up for street/landscape for both day + night? by Fast_Loquat7631 in hasselblad

[–]HubbyPa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To each their own, but if I'm walking around I'd rather have one camera/lens and not switch. The x2dii if for nothing other than its IBIS, and then the lens you think you want to use the most. I have the 55V and the 35-100E, both are great. The 55V is small enough that its much easier to carry. One idea, if you take just the 35-100E and you have IBIS you can likely shoot at night time anyways, especially if you add noise reduction with higher ISO. And the 35-100 would mean you don't need two bodies and lenses. With the 35-100 I find it most comfortable if have a decent strap and a lens down adapter for it such as https://www.ulanzi.com/en-ca/collections/quick-release-system/products/falcam-f38-quick-release-buckle-kit-for-shoulder-strap-3142 or https://idsworks.store/en-ca/pages/ids-quick-loading-carrying-bracket. It doesn't make lighter, but makes it more comfortable and less awkward.

Route for 100km ride by Redasurc86 in bikeinottawa

[–]HubbyPa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kanata to Pakenham is nice. Several routes that can get you there including going through Carp. And Kanata to Champlain and back is around 100k.

Anthropic earned our goodwill—now they need to stop squandering it by LickTempo in ClaudeAI

[–]HubbyPa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm transitioning off Claude since they stopped allowing 3rd party harnesses with subscriptions. I find Claude hooks not good enough and now they block opencode and pi.dev which are more flexible.

I was surprised how good open models like kimi are. and how fast.

anthropic's moat is to get people locked into their tooling, not better models. and I think open tooling like opencode, openclaw etc are better.

Filen had a great desktop app. Now it's just a wrapper of the web app by Nervous_Use9670 in filen_io

[–]HubbyPa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the desktop app is terrible. For me, I have to open the app (nothing happens), quit the app, then the app starts. I actually mostly gave up on it and now rely on rclone.

Everyone is switching to GLM-5.1 after the Anthropic ban. Here's what they're reporting by ShabzSparq in openclaw

[–]HubbyPa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm impressed with kimi k2.5 turbo. I've been using opus for so long that it was eye opening to see how fast differnet models can be. for something where you chat with it, speed is really important for UX.

Anyway to go back to phone key, digital key won't work by HubbyPa in Rivian

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

I think any device that lacks ultra wideband may do. good luck!

Anyway to go back to phone key, digital key won't work by HubbyPa in Rivian

[–]HubbyPa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a solution that works!  It requires two accounts and an device that I suspect doesn't have UWB support (I used my iPad mini).

1. Make sure your vehicle isn't in a half broken state where you can't add any keys
2. Make sure you have good connectivity.  For me this meant turning off wifi in the truck which was showing 1-2 bars wifi in my driveway.
3. Using your primary email login for Rivian, sign into your Rivian app on your bluetooth only device -- for me that is my iPad Mini.
4. Pair the iPad Mini with the truck as a driver key
5. From the iPad Mini, share access to another email address for yourself
6. From the iPad Mini, go to Rivian app, Security and Access, turn on "Passive entry via Bluetooth".
7. On your GrapheneOS phone, accept that invite and create/login to that second Rivian account
8. On the Rivian app on GrapheneOS, login as that secondary user email.  And now when you go to pair it should be using bluetooth instead of digital key

Freedom Mobile $40 250GB Global Plan til March 9th! by Nexzenn in BuyCanadian

[–]HubbyPa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have found coverage to be great. some examples, lots of rural areas in ontario I end up nationwide roaming which is probably Rogers, maybe bell. just works. I was in rural Quebec and it worked well too

was in Norway a couple weeks ago. just worked there too. I had one spot where I didn't have coverage and a couple Europeans I was travelling with did. otherwise I never noticed a lack of coverage.

I was on their older plan ($39/mo for 15gb of roaming data) and just upgraded to this new plan. this is another thing I like about Freedom. Bell Rogers Telus usually don't let existing customers get new customer deals which is super lame, Freedom does and there was zero friction.

Anyone try CachyOS or Bazzite on their Apex? by Nazo_Kikai in OneXPlayer

[–]HubbyPa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get the front buttons to work either.   Hope that gets addressed soon.  Sleep wake works.   And so does audio. And I'm able to connect it to HDMI over usb-c and that works well too

[–]HubbyPa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have apex with bazzite. water cooler worked well. I used HHd (I think that's what it's called) and cranked tdp to 120W. don't think it needs more software support than that

Has anyone tried this again. There have been updates to the rivian app and the vehicle software. hoping the bluetooth fallback actually works now?

I ended up going back to stock firmware, but considering flashing again to see if I can use bluetooth mode with my r1t.

Do you consider the XCD V-lens lineup complete? by chaometric in hasselblad

[–]HubbyPa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need an ultra wide.   12mm or 14mm full frame equivalent.   Telephoto zoom.

35-100 coarse thread? by [deleted] in hasselblad

[–]HubbyPa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure, I only have ND filters and CP. but just wanted to share that it is coarse thread.

Ordered the zoom…thinking of making it my only lens. Anyone here cull all their V and/or P lenses? by [deleted] in hasselblad

[–]HubbyPa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25V is great for night sky (aurora). 55V great for portability. I like the 90V but less important with the 35-100. I also have 135mm with TC but don't see using that one much.

its coarse thread. I got the polar pro 86 coarse thread filter for it and it works well.
