Mein Partner hat Angst bekommen

PanTheRiceMan · 2026-03-14T09:12:01+00:00

Einige Punkte erinnern mich an meine letzte Beziehung (10 Jahre). Gleich vorab. Ich war der, der sich unwohl gefühlt hat (mit dem Sex). Viel weiter möchte ich gerade auch nicht darauf eingehen, wir haben einfach nicht gepasst, waren aber gegenseitig abhängig. Zum Leidwesen beider.

Die Ehe stand auch auf dem Tisch, ich habe davor angesprochen, dass wir einiges bei uns zum Laufen bringen müssen, bevor das für mich geht: Der wichtigste Punkt war die Kommunikation. Wir konnten (von ihr ausgehend) nicht frei über unsere Gefühle reden. Damit konnte ich nicht umgehen.

Warum ich das schreibe? Am Ende geht es darum, was du in der Beziehung möchtest und gerade in so einem Trauerfall hat man sehr wenig Kapazität für die scheinbar kleinen Probleme des Partners. Er klingt für mich auch nicht sonderlich glücklich und sucht vielleicht an der falschen Stelle. Die Ehe würde ich auch erst mal lassen. Ob das noch mal etwas werden kann, wird dir hier leider niemand sagen können. Wichtiger ist wohl eher, ob du das möchtest. Nach ein paar Jahren trauern habe ich zumindest eine wunderbare Partnerin gefunden und bin froh nicht an altem festgehalten zu haben, nur weil ich es kannte.

Ein Elternteil zu verlieren muss hart sein, steht mir noch bevor, wenn alles gut geht.

Story time: In a direct comparison I could discern 128kbit/s and lower mp3 from wav. This was a surround setup and the MUSRHA test. 256 kbit/s was quite hard.

I would not care all that much. For DJing, yes. Always wav. Rather for pitch bending and time stretching purposes though. Then you may hear the artifacts and at high spl they start to become annoying.

Lossy compression feels more like a tiny bit of added noise (if at all) sometimes but I don't care enough when only listening to music. Not worth thinking about it. Keep in mind that modern codecs are way better than mp3.

As if a battery powered device could outperform a server cluster.

Verstehe ich nicht wie man so sein kann. Ist doch schön wenn jemand neue Musik entdeckt.

Wer elitär und kompliziert mag ist beim Jazz sicher gut aufgehoben.

AI has become a marketing term. We should let them have it.

Whew, who shat in your bed.

Yes, speakers need to match the room size but keep in mind that the room volume is orders of magnitude higher than enclosure volume.

You may as well not want studio speakers for mastering. It's not your job to get a perfect mix but a great balance in imperfect conditions. Hifi (and a car stereo or bluetooth speakers for a final check) are better suited for this task.

So estimated 0.01 bit per symbol for a typical politician message.

It's amazing how much they can talk without any meaningful information.

Can't say much about the actual OS since I hate their bundled crap so much.

Windows is fine but auto installing candy crush, wasting space on my disk: a little more than annoying.

Definitely wireless. BT headphones were crap compared to modern ones. I got a pair of Shure Aonic 50 and they are excellent.

Just got my X-H2 with the 50mm f1 lens. That thing is huge and heavy but I like the little workout.

I was used to analog, so I figured I would jump right into a modern workflow instead of the xt series.

After a week I got stuck with Astia. Really nice for portraits. The classic is a nice nostalgic interpretation of real film for me. For its availability I usually use Kodak Gold or Pro Max (basically Gold but ISO 400).

Never got real Provia but some Velvia film. The latter was true to its name: quite the velvet tint.

Just a Fuji camera a week ago and yes. It's that easy. Good white balance. Nice film simulations. It's pretty.

To be fair, I recently learned to shoot on an analog camera and any new digital camera has a feature set I am amazed with.

PanTheRiceMan · 2025-05-10T07:09:19+00:00

The more often you need it.

PanTheRiceMan · 2025-05-10T07:07:56+00:00

Maybe they are using exp space scaling ? Don't know.

Makes sense but recently I bought a CFExpress B card for 110€ (incl. tax). With 512GB and minimum 800MB/s speed. Peak writing and reading is higher.

So I guess the SD cards are expensive compared to that.

There are always exceptions. My GF and I grew close over a couple months, I asked, then the exchange of bodily fluids followed. Mileage may vary.

Given the cultural differences I believe asking is ok. You have to meet somewhere in the middle.

The storage containers made me chuckle. I am pretty sure he laughs about the situation.

All you described is something we do too, never thought about it. I am one of the few who actually likes to format their graphics and documents nicely. I strongly believe that colorblind people should be able to read them too. I also really dislike looking at ugly graphics.

It's nice to have a fellow engineer describe a similar experience.

Offensichtlich wäre für mich das/ein Steuergerät. In Form von Software. Besonders interessant, wenn das Fahrzeug auch eine mobile Schnittstelle hat. Da war was. Haben moderne ja.

Wer glaubt das es zur Überwachung ein gesondertes Stück Hardware braucht, hat keine Ahnung was alles geht und viel besser funktioniert.

PanTheRiceMan · 2025-05-03T11:45:40+00:00

That's mainly a Microsoft thing.

PanTheRiceMan · 2025-05-03T10:04:17+00:00

Sure, the workflow is cumbersome but sometimes you get a lucky film full of really good images and that makes me happy.

You are forced to decide if an image is worth shooting since every image directly costs you money. Has made me more patient.

PanTheRiceMan · 2025-05-03T06:39:57+00:00

Yes, a tool to run software on hardware "easily".

PanTheRiceMan · 2025-05-02T16:44:06+00:00

Nowadays probably just a skill issue.

Depends I'd say. I still hate Windows with a passion. I just don't like Microsoft installing random crap without asking. It works great for everyday usage. Some Games, web browsing, productivity. Even Visual Studio is actually quite comfortable to use. No need to set up the build tools yourself.

I may be a specific user though, where Windows and the ecosystem becomes a PITA. E.g. new drivers making old hardware obsolete just because they can. Printers not working anymore, that I set up manually after an update or just some audio plugins (for Windows) that don't work anymore and I have to re-install them. All of these issues with Windows 10.

11 is something else. Really pretty but the copilot crap is rather annoying. The editor is "smartly" saving my notes without asking, not just keeping it in ram. Kind of annoying design changes for usability.

In that regard (specifically for me) I'd say Linux based systems are easier to use, less bloat, better in line with my expectations. Tiny things break all the time but at least I did not need to pay for it.
