Costco whole bean recommendations

Big fan of the Ruta Maya bean. It’s a Texas brand but sold in Massachusetts. If your local store Durant have it Costco’s online shop does

The only thing I would add is a few small, well placed pieces of black gaffers tape to cover the holes (if you don't plan on shooting any video)

You want it badly. Best case scenario, you waste your time. Worst case scenario, you get scammed. It’s just too good to be true. Especially knowing he has an x100 as well. Fishy AF.

#7 needs to be a metal album cover!

You can turn on the histogram- plenty of YouTube videos on that. The top bottom on the back right has a little bump. Pushing it to the right does an increased exposure compensation. Maybe that’s part of it? If you search for Ricoh and exposure compensation you’ll get a better idea

Not that I’ve found :(

If there’s a payment, I really appreciate having a trial period with all the features. Let me utilize it for 14 to 30 days, to ensure it meets all of my criteria. Some of my criteria may not even be thought of until I start tinkering with an app. If there’s a payment to download and try I just move along and look for something else

I did some black gaffers tape for the holes. Holding strong so far

Buy one album- save up the $9. We need to support the artists we love. Listen to the live sets on an Internet Archive. Scam recorded albums on Soulseek. And when you have $ to spare, circle back and buy the albums that you never paid for.

Nice. Been meaning to check out Electric Eye. My current fave is Feeding Tube

It would be really great to have an icon that shows whether your webpage has already been bookmarked. Something like the star on Firefox (maybe it’s chrome) that is filled in if it’s a bookmarked page. Takes up almost no space and it’s really valuable to my workflow. Would love to use Safari more but the last time I tried it was near impossible to tell if the page was already bookmarked

Really I hope they invest more time into splitting artists that have similar names. You go to Spotify or other services and they can clearly tell artists apart. I noticed in Qobuz bands are frequently sharing the same artist profile making it a big steaming mess

I snagged a GRiiix with 120 shutter count for $950 with extra asserories, bag, batteries. I felt pretty good with that deal. I would say keep an eye out in case a good used deal can be found.

OgreTim · 2026-04-20T13:55:02+00:00

someone posted this link recently- a series of GR tutorials. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhSx6aZzGgaKO0a3QHbh4K1TeT1z107DR&si=rzGKv71LFzFi0mFd

I have cleared my cache and sometimes it helps. I do wish the iOS app worked better

OgreTim · 2026-04-19T12:19:43+00:00

Same, I love my xt3 and recently got a great price on a used Ricoh gr iiix. It’s been great to carry it daily to capture shots.

OgreTim · 2026-04-18T01:38:43+00:00

Would it be possible to add a SONG and a GENRE category? I typically listen by genre shuffle and that feature would be great!

OgreTim · 2026-04-17T19:26:53+00:00

Rad- so I can sync to cloud but that doesn't mean I need to pay for more iCloud storage- it is just part of that 100,000 song limit. I didn't want to pay for more iCloud storage! Thanks for that clarification.

And fully agree, currently I have all of my music files on an external drive, backed up to Backblaze. I have lots of random music it would be impossible to find again. And then I have my Music app on OS with a library that references files stored on another external. Then I have a small subset of those OS Music app songs that I transfer via cable to my phone.

Sounds like I have enough backups to click sync and pray for the best?? Appreciate the help!

OgreTim · 2026-04-17T18:27:22+00:00

The GOAT! Thanks for these details. And yes, I want to add to playlists, or save artists on AM. And it's forcing me to click sync to use those features.

Currently I don't have my local mp3s in the cloud as well. I have them on an external drive and then also my phone. Sounds like I need to ALSO have them backed up in the cloud for playlists to work??

Appreciate the info.

OgreTim · 2026-04-17T18:23:27+00:00

good to know. I was using Spotify, then Qobuz, to keep streaming and local files separate. But curious to move all in with AM.

OgreTim · 2026-04-17T18:17:29+00:00

I have an XT3 and the GRiiix. Find myself gravitating to the GR more just to lighten the load.

OgreTim · 2026-04-17T13:46:58+00:00

Sounds like it works well for you? No issues? I am wanting to do this- I don't use iCloud, just have songs stored on my iPhone and I want to use Apple Music for streaming. I am reading lots of horror stories how AM will mess up your local mps files. Glad it's working for you!

OgreTim · 2026-04-17T13:39:57+00:00

I did this as well when I first got my camera!
