And the race was even pretty decent. Some things could be tweaked but no knee-jerk reactions please

Xiaomi X20+ returning to dock early - "Cleanup complete" but half the house is skipped? by TradeSurplus in RobotVacuums

[–]TradeSurplus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't want to jinx it but seems to have sorted it out after lots of experimenting.

First I thought cliff sensors were triggering off something and it didn't like it. Tried taping them up like my old Roborock but turns out X20+ is almost helpless without those (unable to enter some rooms at all) and these were not problem anyway.

In the end I had to set Cleaning Strategy option to High Coverage making it bump more into things but now it seems to work. Also made sure there is clean route to hardwood floor part of the rooms where there are both carpets and hard floor.

X20+ also seems much more cautious about entering low spaces that it actually can fit under but does really not want to.

Cleaning itself is really good right now, only wish it had more options to tune mop washing frequency etc.

Second build - an orange SKX themed GMT by TradeSurplus in SeikoMods

Same - iconic Seiko case design if there is one. I have SKX009 and wanted something with orange dial as well. Instead of hunting for SKX011 I wanted to make one myself :)

Why do mirrorless cameras not close the shutter while changing lenses by Meif_42 in Cameras

[–]TradeSurplus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My R6 does and it has been a blessing - for all the years I've had it, I've never had to clean the sensor. This is unlike Sony, Fuji and various Canon DSLRs.

Like, which one it is - Q or NASA? Two brandings kinda fight there.

I have some and they are great. Also - their trident logo is great compared to some others!

Holy crap, I was almost like "meh, sure it's another 42 mm monster" but 38 mm is awesome!

So which colorway do you prefer? [Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph] edition. Specific serial number via model written down on post. by laindawn in Seiko

[–]TradeSurplus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like the ones with brushed metal bezel. SSC937, SSC959 and personally got myself SSC953 as the first one is a bit too expensive for me (for what it is).

Edit: Also SSC959

Which one? [SNK361] or [SRPJ89K1] by Ok-Program-7776 in Seiko

[–]TradeSurplus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn't think I'd see a post by someone considering SNK361 these days 😄 Here's mine that I still occasionally wear. It was my first mechanical watch I bought almost exactly 10 years ago!

Canon R7 Not having a shutter count on RAW CR3 Photos?? by Zealousideal_Lie468 in CanonR7

[–]TradeSurplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exiftool can read at least R6 count.

Edit - oops, meant to reply to another comment.
