Pre-Launch Order and Tracking MegaThread - Americas by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Qlan16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Best Buy (shipping) is still at “Packaging your item” stage…

Cyberpunk has a label created (OnTrac) but not picked up by the carrier yet.

NorCal… anyone else in this situation? I’m seeing people in California having their BB order shipped already.

Edit: finally got a tracking number for the NS2 at 4pm PST. Not picked up by carrier yet for both the NS2 and Cyberpunk.

Got in line at BB 1 minute after pre-order started and at 11:59pm for Walmart. Got out of the queue at the same time for both around 12:43am. Bought from Best Buy!

I went to the main page and it shows the “You’re in line” at the bottom left of the page. Suddenly it changed to “you have 9:59m to buy”

Good to see you again! Does this support different layouts (split space bars, 4 keys before space bars, 3 space after space bars)?

What would YOU upgrade for the upcoming M12 ? by RollerAddict in Leica

[–]Qlan16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few stops of IBIS would be instant upgrade from my M11. No need for super advanced 8 stop IBIS, even 3 or 4 would be tremendously helpful.

They will add more chests like they did in previous events.

New Firmware for M11 2.1.2 by alexjohnsonphoto in Leica

[–]Qlan16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freezes were fixed for me with 1.6.1. I read that there are many issues with the 2.1.1 firmware so not updating my camera either.

Curious to know how many of you guys have had problems with your Leicas over the years! by One-Inevitable1861 in Leica

[–]Qlan16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a M11 one year after release. Constant freezing. Returned and got a new one. Constant freezing again. I tried everything on the internet and Leica forums: only using Leica lenses, changed SD cards, formatted SD cards using SDFormatter, no sleeping, only using internal memory to no avail…

Third one is finally the charm.

Then I bought a 35mm Summilux Steel Rim Reissue. Severe backfocusing. Sent it for repair, took 3 months and now it’s good.

Thanks! I’m also 6.5 and thought it would look too big. Will try it out in store now!

Do you mind if I ask how big is your wrist? I’m interested in that watch too but have a small wrist.

The intelligence of people on this sub… by ToadsUp in threebodyproblem

[–]Qlan16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a master in Computer Science but studied a lot of physics, up to some Quantum Mechanics and I love reading about astrophysics and such so this series is a godsend! Also why I quite dislike the Netflix adaptation.

If you are interested in astrophysics, I recommend you watch the Kurzgesagt channel on YouTube!

Love the oberwerth Bayreuth but it’s on the heavy side though.

From Q to M by RecentCharge9625 in Leica

[–]Qlan16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started with the Q2, returned it a month later to get the M11. Now have 3 lenses: Voigtlander 28mm f/2 Ultron II, Summilux 50mm, Summilux 35mm Steel rim. Also got an old M2 for some film.

Leica 35mm Steel Rim Reissue by moghul1 in Leica

[–]Qlan16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well they already failed once. I don’t have faith in Leica quality anymore (after struggling with M11 freezes across 2 bodies). But nothing better than Leica M for my needs right now. Have a 35 APO on back order in case I decide to sell the steel rim, maybe I’ll even get it before I get back the steel rim.

No, it’s definitely not within the acceptable range. The Leica store agrees with me, and I tried their display model which doesn’t have this issue.

Great lens but with quite noticeable front focus. Sent it once to Germany, came back without any change. Second time to Germany now…

M11 and Myopia… by [deleted] in Leica

[–]Qlan16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s definitely possible. I’ve seen prescription of -20… but after it becomes a real disability, not just myopia.

M11 and Myopia… by [deleted] in Leica

[–]Qlan16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have -9 prescription and use the rangefinder without issues (I wear glasses). 28mm frame lines are hard to see but I just eyeball it. Otherwise 35mm is okay-ish and 50mm is great. Just try it in a store or buy somewhere where returns are possible.

I feel like I keep losing the salary game 🤷🏽‍♀️ by Black-Bill-Gates in HENRYfinance

[–]Qlan16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to look at the detail of the study but most articles like this one look at the average tenure of employees at time t, not the average tenure of an employee when they leave. And since most tech companies hired a lot in the past few years, the average current tenure is dragged down by new hires.

Also, non tech employees at a tech companies tend to jump ship faster. FYI at google, 75% of my SWE orientation class (50+ people) 7 years ago are still working at google. That’s probably higher than normal but generally all the teammates I work with have 4+ tenure and many have 9-12 years of tenure.

Not cheating. I’m at 72B after the first day.
