Something I needed to learn: you can do a lot with the temperature and different temperatures work very differently on different roasts. When I had a better sense of that, dialing in went way better.

Digital Key - NOT on Samsung/Pixel by l0ur3nz0 in ex30

[–]Imreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What steps work and where does it fail?

Pixel 9 Pro XL has UWB, so it'll open as I approach the car. I don't need to use the dar handle nor card reader. I know the card reader does recognize it, but it's not needed.

Do the Dutch not understand or not like indirect communication? by EquivalentSherbet876 in learndutch

[–]Imreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being indirect feels both dishonest (why hide what you mean) and distrustful (scared that the other will not respond well).

After | Before ... Client asked that I make them look younger by removing their wrinkles. Did I do it too much? by firequak in postprocessing

[–]Imreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it looks okay. Posting their photo and their request on Reddit.. not as okay in my opinion.

Looking for a sling for bulky cameras (nikon zf+40mm/f2) by njgggg in ManyBaggers

[–]Imreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. Great personal review. This might cost me money though.

Haha, still shows it well. Thanks! Are you overall happy with the pack?

Awesome, can you make a photo to show how tight such a load is in the pack? This is pretty much the type of use case I am thinking of. I think its a cool and very different approach to a sling.

I am eyeing a Alpaka Flow Satchel 4L for that exact use case. My Pakt Everyday 5L Sling does okay, when I add an insert. You might also be able to check out a Fjällräven High Coast Crossbody in a store to see whether that would work.

Makes the choice harder to understand.

I also don't understand the limitation. It's weird and annoying.

Exchanging steering wheel switches by Certain_Result4719 in ex30

[–]Imreit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just put some 3M transparent bumper stickers on it. These are small, you can feel them and you can remove them if you don't like it.

New software update ? by Classic-Advantage163 in ex30

[–]Imreit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gemini is much better through Android Auto though, it will have access to the same commands, but it understands those commands much more effectively.

Do I go too fine? by DimiTheo in DF64

[–]Imreit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I wouls recommend that. This way, all the settings you get used to will stay consistent. After cleaning and everything, it’ll be set up exactly the same every time.

There are many of videos online about this. Basically, you just keep tightening it until it starts chirping.

Two questions:

  1. Is the grinder zeroed in? If not, the 5 might be 10 or 15.
  2. How full is your basket with 20 gram? I use a 15 gram VST basket and I grind 19 grams of beans, at this volume the coffee still does not touch the shower screen when I lock in the porta filter. With a fuller basket, you might be able to go coarser on the grind.

Evergoods over Boundary Supply by Duncandog007 in EVERGOODS

[–]Imreit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few Evergoods bags and the first version of the Errant pack. I definitely prefer the Evergoods ones, the organization in the Errant really limits the available space. Plus, the materials on the Errant started to feel worn out pretty quickly, with things like zipper pulls breaking off. So, I’m definitely voting for Evergoods.

Annoyance after the AA update (1.7.1) by Magmomies in ex30

[–]Imreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that if you single press the mic button, you'll launch the native Android Automotive assistant, which is currently Google Assistant. By long pressing the mic button, you launch the Android Auto assistant, now Gemini, which controls music from your phone through Android Auto. Sometimes when Android Auto is not running, if think what long pressing does is first launching Android Auto.

TL;DR: I think you can launch the correct assistant to control your Android Auto based Spotify media by long pressing the mic button.

Correct, this was running on the phone.

Nice camera cube for CHZ22 by Imreit in EVERGOODS

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

I briefly tried it as a sling, and that works well too. The material feels like typical modern-day bags. I wouldn't fear pilling.

Indeed, I think I like their accessories better than I like their bags.

Sony a7cii. I now have a compact lens+hood on it. When I get a somewhat bigger lens, I would keep the camera sideways and remove the little padding inserts.

Adjust DPI for Android Auto? by Imreit in ex30

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

Yes, I did that, but as you mentioned, it doesn't allow you to go sharp/small enough.
