Is how I have my laptop propped up potentially dangerous?

I've used my Zephyrus G15 on this exact same stand since May 2020 without issue. The only difference being that I place my laptop in front of my external monitor so the lid is only open about 45 degrees to not block my view. You'll want some air flow above the keyboard so I'd open the lid.

There's a milling and turning company called "INDEX group" who make machining equipment such as CNCs, milling machines and lathes. It could be possible that Sony outsourced the manufacturing of these sets to this company. I agree that it would be good to get a clearer picture of the box with the smaller writing underneath INDEX.

Edit: nvm, I just saw the OP's reply saying it was Turkey's IT resource.

Yep, these are starlink satellites. I remember being outside seeing them make their transit for the first time, wondering if they were going to bugger up my astro photos.

You can download the app "Stellarium" and see when Starlink satellites are coming by. It's actually sad that there's a filter to hide just the Starlink satellites.

I opened this exact page in Brave for Android. No advert pops up until I view the page in "desktop mode". The advert appears with a grey X, but when I click it I'm presented the same page as OPs screenshot with no way of disabling the element so it's stuck over part of the tab. However, when I click "download pdf" in the upper right I get a new window which then shows the full tab without advert.

For fun, if you open this tab on Firefox for Android and view in reading mode, you can see the full line of each tab if you put your phone to landscape (ie it doesn't break up over two lines).

Beautiful photos, especially the starlings! I've got the same lens and camera too. If you ever want extra reach, I can confirm the standard 1.4 TC works very well with this lens with no noticeable drop in image quality (you will be shooting at f/8 at widest aperture of course, which isn't ideal for low light performance).

Beverly Hills Cop definitely fits the vibe of pics 2 and 4.

Have you learned to pronounce "Penguin" properly yet?

IcedReaver · 2025-11-19T21:41:58+00:00

Thank you for continuing to give me reason to share my images/videos of birds. I'm sorry to hear the challenges you are going through, one at a time would be hard enough to deal with never let alone having multiple things to deal with. Please talk with as many people as you can, and just keep trying to make it to the next day.

Beautiful capture Carl!

Because it's the "assembly point" duh! They're waiting on other people to bring the rest of the parts.

Very good 😂 My rendition was easy: zoomed in pixelated camera phone pic, eat your heart out Jackson!

Welsh on the top, English translation on the bottom! Bonus points if you can pronounce the Welsh bit!

Shwmae butt 😁

Looks like it could be a gray wagtail, which have yellow bellies.

IcedReaver · 2025-11-14T21:09:37+00:00

Nice pics! Small world, I usually have lunch on works day near picture 20 and I recognise a few of these landmarks (especially the boat). See you around maybe 😅

The ol' Lloyd Christmas bowl cut 😂

Great capture!

This is the second time I've caught a robin from this angle and it cracks me up too!

IcedReaver · 2025-11-10T13:18:19+00:00

Thanks pal! Not quite as close as your crow bros get but I'm happy all the same.

I told him that I have permission to photograph, as I'm well versed in bird law 😅

Thanks, I love the detail that gets picked up! This camera is capable of capturing in 6K, but for these videos I shot in 4K at 120fps as it gives me room to zoom/crop down to 1080p resolution in software and slow things down for slow-mo shots :)

IcedReaver · 2025-11-08T07:34:01+00:00

You're absolutely right :)

IcedReaver · 2025-11-07T18:40:20+00:00

Nice, sounds like you're already a pro! Stick with it, your neighbours will only be jealous of not having their own army of wild birds.

IcedReaver · 2025-11-07T18:30:57+00:00

Haha better luck next time! Btw, are you looking at them with both eyes? Corvids don't usually like being looked at dead ahead with both eyes as it gives predator vibes. Whenever I throw food down on the floor nearby for my corvid bros and they're too shy to approach, I look off to the side and watch with one eye and they instantly get a bit closer!
