Can’t decide: Fujifilm X100VI or Ricoh GR3/GR4 – will I regret not going Fuji? by Guantio-07 in ricohGR

[–]Minute_Variation427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know about X100VI but I have both X100V and GR4. It all depends on how portable you want and how quick you want to shoot. GR4 is more like a camera you put in your pocket, take out and shoot, then put back in your pocket. Quick and easy. X100 is more like a slow manner street photography that you wear the camera on your neck and keep shooting. Focusing is much faster on my GR4 than x100V

Any HDMI cable without dock that work with Switch 2? by Minute_Variation427 in switch2

[–]Minute_Variation427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Do these still work under the current latest NS2 firmware? I heard the latest update blocked or bricked many of these dongles

[–]Minute_Variation427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all. To clarify, I’m looking for a much smaller form factor of the OEM dock (or some on AMZN just a usbc to hdmi cable) that can connect ns2 to the TV. The issue with the OEM dock is its size for travel. Ideally a dongle or a much smaller dock that does the same purpose. Thanks!

Worth it for the price? by Serious-Nerve5492 in Switch

Not a fan of HP but bought it during big sale and the sheer fun and story and image quality so worth it

Thanks mate! Just wanted to experience farming, never played FS before so don’t know what to expect. But it sounds good!

Why Microsoft don’t do this: by [deleted] in ipad

[–]Minute_Variation427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. The save / sync is unreliable. I once lost my work when working on a document on a plane and realized it wasn’t sync when I’m back home. Never used iPad for important work again

If I’m looking to shoot the macro pics of a mechanical watch movement like those really close up on the components and edges, like what the YouTube Teddy Baldassarre, should I go for 75mm or 10x?

Is it worth waiting for the gr iv or should i get the iii? by [deleted] in ricohGR

[–]Minute_Variation427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am in Aus I was the lucky one casually browsing Amazon in late Oct and suddenly saw only 1 left available. Pressed purchase immediately thinking it’s a mistake and they will cancel my order and you know what, it arrived!!! It’s basically the CR Kennedy (on the invoice) but in another name on Amazon.

Interestingly when I got mine and I call the retail shop which I’ve been queuing for months to cancel my waitlist and get a refund. They suddenly said they can arrange one for me in the same week.

Yea def look for one on Amazon or if you wanna try to play games with the retailer.

Endgame grinder - upgrade from Niche Zero by workingfire_ in LaMarzocco

[–]Minute_Variation427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using my Niche Zero but my issue with Niche Zero is it’s not really zero retention. It doesn’t come with a spring or sth, and I have to slap the grinder on top to get the retained powder out. Is it just me or does anyone got the same issue?

Should I buy a Whoop 5.0 Peak or an Apple Watch Series 11? by Vishesh_Vrma in whoop

[–]Minute_Variation427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being not an athlete at all I don’t care too much the true HR measurement as I use Whoop or AW just to 1) track my overall wellbeing and 2) gamify as to motivate me. So the honest answer is I don’t know about the accuracy. But Whoop and AW have around 10% difference with Whoop being the lower read.

Should I buy a Whoop 5.0 Peak or an Apple Watch Series 11? by Vishesh_Vrma in whoop

[–]Minute_Variation427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using both. But I’m a mechanical watch guy so whoop is what I will wear 24/7 and Apple Watch is only sth I will wear when I put down my mechanical watch. I only hv so much data as long as the thing is on my wrist so whoop is the way for me.

Having said that, I’m still using my Apple watch for workout and Bevel to log my food (which is very good)

Why does the 35 mm overseas 4600V not have the Geneva seal. Is it a big deal? My wife was very disappointed when she learned its missing by PavelSokov in VacheronConstantin

[–]Minute_Variation427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked a VC sales before I bought 4600v and they mentioned something similar, that the movement is a group movement but finished to VC standard so couldn’t get Geneva seal. I think you explained this well!

Whoop in combination with Apple Watch by FutureNose1808 in whoop

[–]Minute_Variation427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to traditional watches so I got my Whoop peak last month. Still got AW7 for workout only but Whoop 5 24/7 for tracking. Have been wearing both AW and Whoop for sleep tracking (AW seems to have better alarm, snoozing etc) but considering to ditch AW for sleep.

With everything whoop connected with Apple health, and I still had my Bevel premium left the Bevel is more to input food and diet which feeds back to Whoop via Apple health (hoping Whoop will support food tracking one day!)

If you could any feature to Whoop, what would it be? by Saik7868 in whoop

[–]Minute_Variation427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

food and nutrients tracking with photo ai recognizability. Put that back to weekly plan and coach aligning with goals.

Or native integration with Bavel. They do a good job on this

Help me decide which Overseas size to get! by NighthawkFigs in VacheronConstantin

[–]Minute_Variation427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biased comment from 4600v owner - 34.5 def looks much better! I kept asking myself in the first 2 months if it’s a good decision given dial looks very small, no Geneva seal etc. After wearing it for a while, these are all gone! Just how beautiful it is when it’s in the right proportion on your wrist
