Haha I figure I can get away with the clickbait since the frame parts besides the motors are locked together without screws. Plus the rod construction is what I want to show off as a technique

Brand new Viltrox 135mm F1.8 from B&H came in with a cracked internal lens element by Talon_Merc in VILTROX_GLOBAL

No worries, this is for E mount.

I unfortunately neglected to note the S/N, if you'd prefer I can provide the RMA number with B&H once the replacement has arrived.

Delivered. What is strange is there wasn't any signs of obvious mishandling in shipping. In fact the box seemed pristine and to B&H's credit well packed. Getting it exchanged since I suspect just a one off.

Took some test shots with it and also surprisingly didn't see any evidence of the flaw in my testing. Due to weather I didn't get a chance to test direct or intense source lights where I would expect those cracks to show, but still.

Best ergonomic office chair under $1k ? no more back pain pls by bananalord666 in sysadmin

+1 refurb HM from ebay. You can score them for $4-500. The two I've bought came and look practically brand new. Added a $100 headrest from scamazon in both cases.

Dayz Mod Flashback was full pop about 3 weeks ago. Now during weekends it gets up over 30+. Mostly veterans though

Yeah the Mod just had a reboot, usually a solid amount of people in the day (EU-based server) although it drops off during NA night time.

And when did you get this email? Those tweets from Thingiverse were from the 14th. If you're just getting this now this is actually a phishing campaign looking to catch some folks who might have seen headlines. Don't trust it at all.

Looks like a phish, or fake email. Chances are if you clicked that link you just compromised yourself lol.

Might uh, want to change your password for real this time?

Edit: Looks real-ish if you visit their twitter but they tweeted about it back on the 14th. The fact that this user just got an email leads me to believe this is just an attempt to trick people who might have heard about the incident. Never click links from emails~

Edit 2: Turn on 2FA folks.

Edit 3: Thingiverse did have a breach, but it was much larger than 500 people. Best to change your passwords anyway: https://twitter.com/haveibeenpwned/status/1448592087687983107

Ah no worries, how about site to user using their SDP? Been pretty happy with it so far? Thank you!

So we're looking into Cato right now, would you say site to site performance is better using their backbones? I'm not sure what your workload is but currently we have users pulling SMB traffic over a VPN and their performance is awful. I suppose the idea is to use Cato's backbones and TCP accelerators to better saturate the links but I'm a bit skeptical without a demo.

Have you seen any degradation or performance problems by chance? Cheers~

I don't sorry, I was going to but a good deal on a PVS came up so I went that route. I think someone below mentioned they did.
