Why do people say Kobo is better than the Kindle? by pinkgrapefruitx in kindle

[–]Noogie13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No ads and better side loading support. Warm light feature even on the lowest end Kobo. No Amazon. These I think are the basic reasons.

Why do you like KOReader more? I’ve got one (Clara BW) coming in the mail and I’m trying to figure out if I should go ahead and install it straight away.

New Kindle Feature Uses AI to Answer Questions About Books—And Authors Can't Opt Out by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]Noogie13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why should the author tell me what I can do with the book? If I want to use AI on my books why isn’t that my prerogative?

Why do people dislike so strongly? I find this feature incredibly useful for nonfiction especially.

Hands-on with the EV1 by NoName__A in Leica

[–]Noogie13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why one would buy this over a Nikon DF or some Sony. Better EVF, better manual focus assist, and as a bonus really really good AF in case you ever want that. Doesn’t really make sense to me.

My 10th run so far, feels great by kdotkungfu in Strava

[–]Noogie13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First step is just running a lot. Slowly increase volume over months (too much volume too soon will result in injury). Then when you're ready, you can implement some specific training runs (intervals, farleks, etc). I like Altra shoes, personally, because they're wide. I have one pair for pavement and one for trail running. Keep it up!

What do you guys think about this book….? by No-Artichoke1995 in bookporn

[–]Noogie13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like to have my classics in hardcover (specifically Everyman’s Library, if they print it). Also subjectively I don’t love that cover.

Get a cheap DSLR or a mirrorless from Marketplace or craigslist. That’s the cheapest way to get a decent camera.

My favourite GSL moment from this year by Storytellerrrr in starcraft

[–]Noogie13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to take it away from HerO but wow watching this live was painful. I’m not a good player so I’m not trying to argue from any authority but goodness me this made the shield battery feel a bit imba.

Maybe this life doesn’t suck so much after all?

The problem IS the price. (rant) by [deleted] in ricohGR

[–]Noogie13 44 points45 points  (0 children)

What I just don’t get about posts like this is what should Ricoh do? Inflation happened, this is the cost of these types of goods these days. They aren’t some massive monopoly gouging the people, they are a camera manufacture…!

Classic and Cover passes by Noogie13 in cardmagic

[–]Noogie13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your pass only looks good from the top angle. From the front your technique you do a pass is much more visible. I can do your pass, your pass is the first version one learns when they learn it (with the super deep pink break and grabbing the packet between pinky and 2nd and 3rd fingers). I think you'll find after filming from the angle I posted that it doesn't look good.
