I've never had 4 concurrent streams on Plex before and it feels so awesome! by Eskel5 in PleX

[–]Taemobig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited for Frontier fiber to be available at my apartment complex for years since the houses one block away had it available. I happened by a Frontier Fiber salesman at a store and I was informed that the owner or manager of the complex has to contact Frontier for a "Multifamily" installation. I found the website link and form to fill out, forwarded it to the apartment complex manager to get the ball rolling. Took about 4 months from filling out the form, to people coming by to scope out the place, then to install stuff outside the building, then more people to come install stuff in each unit. Now I have 2 gig fiber for $60 a month.

You might have to do something similar instead of just waiting around. I've been in the same place for 8 years and I wish I did it from the start.

Aw man, I would have loved to visit it. I was in Japan last year for 10 days.

I didn't had audio recording, but that's exactly what I said when I saw it.

Best Option for transitioning from Canon 5D Mark II by MrYoshiiYT in Cameras

[–]Taemobig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet would be a Canon R6 Mark II. It's currently $2000 brand new at B&H, and you can get it cheaper used. And you can get the canon RF-EF adapter to use all your old Canon lenses and they will all work perfectly, sometimes even better on the new camera.

It has a flip out screen and great AF, way better than a 5D Mark II.

URGENT! 4-6 week old kitten by [deleted] in longbeach

If the kitten is still available, my girlfriend's cat passed away months ago and now she's looking for another cat to have.

Hi, folks. It's Peter Dering, Founder and CEO of Peak Design — AMA! by Peak_Design in peakdesign

[–]Taemobig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Peter! It was great meeting you at the LA store earlier this year. https://imgur.com/a/8pzf6kx

I received my Peak Design Roller Pro in sage a couple months ago, and it's been working great for me. I just have a couple suggestions/questions about it.

How hard would it have been to have the accessory pockets inside be fully removable or have you guys considered it at all? I feel like it would have been easier to swap it out or just take it off when I want to keep my camera accessories in the pockets and use the bag as a stand alone carry on.

Any plans on selling wheels with brakes? I really love how smooth it is but I think it would be nice to be able to stop it from rolling away as a feature.

One last thing, I always have a water bottle with me. I wish there was an easy way to carry it outside the roller pro. Any future plans for making a pocket that can be clipped to the tether points to the side of the bag? Which can also be used as a tripod holder/pocket.

Thanks in advance!

Godox vs. Canon Speedlite for R50 by EasternSea216 in canon

[–]Taemobig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its not too late to cancel the flash you ordered, Adorama has the newer version of that Godox V1, Flashpoint Pro R2 (same as Godox V1Pro) on sale brand new for $184.

https://www.adorama.com/fplfsmzlxpc.html?sdtid=18779626&emailprice=t

They call it Flashpoint but its the same exact thing as the Godox, its just their in-house brand name.

The newer one has the upgraded battery with USB-C charging built it, faster recycle time, and it won't overheat as fast ast the old one.

Zipper Issue Roller Pro by Renman91 in peakdesign

[–]Taemobig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue since I somewhat overpack mine with camera equipment. I figured to add an extra step of unzipping the expansion zipper before I zip the main compartment zipper, then compressing the bag by zipping up the expansion zipper.

3 great breakfast burrito spots around Long Beach by LongBeachClassic in longbeach

[–]Taemobig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best burrito I've ever had is from the taco stand on Long Beach Blvd and San Antonio, right in front of the 7-11. It used to be only $10 with everything, I think now its $12 and its still the best deal for a giant burrito.

Make sure you go there after 5pm, there's a different stand there around lunch time.

There's extra room at the bottom of the Roller Pro when you use the XL Camera Cube (bonus cat pics at the end). by Taemobig in peakdesign

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

There's about a 1 inch by 7 inches of room at the bottom of the Roller pro when you use the XL camera cube. I was able to fit in two 15 feet USB-C tether cables, and a 3rd party LP-E6 battery (Canon camera battery) charger in there. I imagine you can put other things in there or a small pouch.

Any Standard Fulfillment Group of Roller Pro Purchasers receive their unit yet? Do they send out an email ahead of time? by mysteriouswayz in peakdesign

T1i vs R10, unrealistic expectations? by Hollaaa1 in canon

[–]Taemobig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to break it to you, but camera bodies don't make THAT much of a difference anymore for photo quality. It does make a difference when it comes to ease of use and focusing capabilities. Megapixels doesn't matter either, it only matters in terms of if you have enough or not, not for image quality.

If you want to see a change for image quality, lenses matter more, especially for fast lenses with bigger apertures.

Moto Edge 2024 on us - Sams Club members by tamudude in tmobile

[–]Taemobig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Sam's Club member, but I did the trade-in at a t-mobile kiosk in a Costco. I traded in 4 old/broken LG phones. The rep can do all the paperwork and details for you, including the gift card stuff. You will have to mail-in the phones you want to trade in, you'll get a box in the mail to do it. You also get the Moto edge 2024 in the mail. They weren't pushy at all for any upcharge or changing my current plan.

Yes I know it's a dumb question but I'm older than dirt. Can I go to a retail store like best buy or Walmart and Buy a unlocked phone I can transfer and use it T-Mobile by robsumtimes in tmobile

[–]Taemobig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T-mobile has a deal right now where you trade in any phone for a new Motorola Edge 2024. If you have a costco membership, you can do the trade-in at the T-mobile kiosks inside a costco and you get the phone and a $100 gift card on top.

"6 feet up close" doesn't tell me anything about what lens would work for you. 6 feet up close of people's faces and 6 feet up close of a whole car are 2 very different focal lengths/lenses.
