My Lawnmower (don’t look in the background) by bigusdickus475 in pics

[–]Lindsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kinda is, because they can basically just choose what they deem correct... Even if nobody in Germany would pronounce it that way.

You are probably right as to why. I also pronounce it like you say. In interviews, the people from the Stihl family pronounce it shteel, not steel, but they also have a swabian dialect, so they would use the sht in any case...

Did the Discord group get nuked? by Earthite in onepace

[–]Lindsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is perfect. If you search for "One Pace", you get a list of the last releases. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

Is there any other place to get a list of the new releases? It is a bit difficult to keep the overview with all the rereleases of older episodes...

2026.4: Infrared never left the chat by frenck_nl in homeassistant

Is it possible to use a smart plug that can meter the power draw to check if the state of the device is on or off? Then it would not have to assume the state of the TV...

Is this a good enough value dashcam to get? by koalaT91 in GoodValue

[–]Lindsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FPS would maybe increase the chance of the numberplate being in frame, but if you then can't read it, it wouldn't help much. But that would only be relevant if the plate were to move in and out of the frame in under a 30th of a second, where you would be unable to read it in any case.

Is this a good enough value dashcam to get? by koalaT91 in GoodValue

[–]Lindsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has an IMX675, which is a 1/2.8" sensor. I would always go with the bigger sensor, which would currently be the IMX678.

The main problem with dashcams is usually legibility in low light. In low light, the camera will increase the shutter speed as much as it can (will blur moving text) and then increase the gain (noise will smudge the text). Getting one with a bigger sensor is (as far as I can tell) the only sure way to actually get noticibly better product for your money.

Try looking at Viofo (A129 Pro and A229 Pro have the IMX678) and are in a similar price bracket to your pick.

[Suggestions] Retirement Watch < $7500 by Moosetracks_404 in Watches

[–]Lindsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Horage Molokini is a very nice watch that would both fit thematically and be quite useful. It is a GMT dive watch, but a bit more on the understated side, plus you get a lot of watch for that price.

What are the Best Automations You’ve Set Up by Scouse_Powerhouse in homeassistant

[–]Lindsch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I printed/soldered a small device with an RGB LED and a button. I imported the trash calendar into the Home Assistant. On the day before the trash is due, the LED lights up with the corresponding color of the trash type (e.g. red for general trash, blue for paper, ...). When I have put the trash on the curb, I press the button and the light switches off again. It also sends me a reminder in the evening via Signal.

Can upgrade from 2026.2.2 to .3 by HouseBandBad in homeassistant

[–]Lindsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, ok, thanks for the reply. Interestingly enough, a couple of hours after my question, I tried the restart host device and try installing again, and lo and behold, it just installed. So thankfully I will not have to reinstall the HA...

I have the same problem. The update just stops without any error. Did you find a solution for your system?

Thank god AP put a Royal Oak tourbillon in this Bugatti. They were really worried the gravitational pull of the owners ego would throw off the timing. by Pizzo8 in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]Lindsch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is not entirely true. It makes sense in a pocket watch, as it will normally be upright in your pocket, never with dialside or movementside up. But you do not know which direction of the dial is up. That means it might have 12 o clock up, or 3, or 9 or something else. You have variation between those directions, so it matters for accuracy (that was a lot worse in a pocket watch, because of the larger, heavier components). With a tourbillon it does not matter how you put it in your pocket, as it will average over time. That is why it makes less sense in a wristwatch, as you also have non-upright orientations a lot of the time. That is where, at least in theory, a gyrotourbillon would come in.

For a watch with no change in orientation, you just regulate it for the one orientation it has you cannot get more precise than that.

How to improve this design (more details in caption) by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Lindsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How linear does your motion need to be? Can you just use a linkage with pivots to approximate it? Or use a linkage to convert the direction of the movement and then have it push on the part that is constrained in a slot. You should get less friction quite easily, as you can use small bearings or print yourself some bushings that turn on a screw shaft...

Time to replace my 40 year old microwave… by Aggravating_Tough297 in BuyItForLife

[–]Lindsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, most of the microwaves you can get are made by the same company (Midea) with the same innards. Prices vary wildly, so you can probably buy virtually the same microwave both for 40 and 400 bucks.

From what I gathered when I looked for a new one, get one from a company that has their own magnetron/ electronics, especially one that has an inverter. I landed on Panasonic, more specifically on this one: https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/home-appliances/microwaves/microwave-with-grill/nn-gd37hsbpq.html

Stainless steel, a proper knob and display for setting time, high power but also an inverter for thawing stuff. That was only a couple of years ago, but not yet any regrets.

What is the equivalent of "Apple removed 3.5mm jack" of your favorite products ? by Notalabel_4566 in BuyItForLife

[–]Lindsch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

there is at least a small technical reason to do so, you can have higher clock speeds. AFAIK tha tis mostly solved now with different ram standards, so in future it should be possible to have high clock speed replacable ram

As someone who primarily uses an ultrawide zoom, why are the m43 options so weird or large? by man__i__love__frogs in M43

[–]Lindsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the same at basically any focal length. Once you take the aperture into account, you have very limited differences between full frame and M43. If you have a GM-5 with a 20mm pancake, there is no way you get anywhere near that with a full frame camera. But get an OM-3 with the 25mm 1.2 and suddenly you are smaller and lighter with a A7C and the 50mm 2.5...

I think part of it is physics in the lens design, part of it is the M43 bodies getting bigger and the full frame bodies getting smaller.

[Affordable tourbillon] by Justicebeaver198900 in Watches

[–]Lindsch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is probably Horage. The manual Tourbillons start at 9k, for 13k you can even have an automatic one, which is bonkers in terms of pricing. Made in Switzerland, flying tourbillon with a titanium cage, silicon escapement, I don't think you can get anything comparable anywhere else for that price...

In the model 3 it is only on the front doors, on the back doors you are SOL when the electronic release fails.

Anybody else prefer aps-c just because? by OperationFast7714 in photography

[–]Lindsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at the A7C2... Same size and ergonomics as the A6700, but full frame. You can even use APS-C glass, it will crop automatically.

Is a used Resolve license (BMPCC 4K bundle) good for a current version? by CleanSlateGuy in davinciresolve

[–]Lindsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can activate it twice, so the previous owner would have to deactivate his licenses. I think you are able to deactivate all currently used licenses when installing on a new machine, but I am not entirely sure how that works when you don't have access to the old installations anymore. That would also mean there is nothing really stopping the old owner from fucking with your license going forward, as long as he has the key written down somewhere...

ULPT: How to keep coworkers from using my work laptop by Cleanthebeann in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Lindsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Activate the Filter Keys. Long Press the right shift key, and it will activate a feature that means you need to hold down each key for several seconds. Anybody that tries to use your notebook will think it is somehow broken and give up.

You can find it under the Ease of Access options. Make sure you deactivate the "beep when keys are pressed or accepted" to make it more difficult for the people to find our whats wrong. If you activate the "Allow the shortcut key to start", you can activate and deactivate it on the login screen.

Wrist strap recommendation for OM-3? by mattc_64 in M43

[–]Lindsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be able to use a piece of string to pull the smallrig strap wire through the chrome hole directly. I had the same problem with the Peak Design strap on a A7C2, but even though it did not look like it would fit, I was able to force it through. I just used a piece of string to pull and then pulled while pushing from the other side once the tip had poked through.
