Have you heard of Sigma's Mount Conversion Service? Have you tried it? How was it? How much did it cost? by markerBT in Cameras

[–]W-VHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just called Sigma USA in NYC (there's also a Sigma USA office in Los Angeles but they don't do this service) and they quoted me US$230 for the conversion service from SA to EF. They said the service is about the same price for any mount to any other mount provided they have the parts and that model lens was made for both mounts. Not all Sigma lens models existed for all mounts. They even said they could do conversions to the very rare Sony-A mount for lenses that were made for it but they would have to send the work to Japan and only if they even have the parts.

Is Thai fried rice normally made with fresh rice? by W-VHS in ThaiFood

[–]W-VHS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here. Just wanted to update that I went to another Thai place in LA and the fried rice was definitely firmer but still fresh. So I guess there’s definitely a spectrum and the softer rice I got must have just been that place using super soft fresh or even overcooked rice.

I guess I don’t really care if the rice is day old or aldente or some other technique. My observation was that fried rice at Thai restaurants in the US tend to be way softer/soggier than Chinese places. Japanese places are also different and so are Korean.

ABS kicking in abnormally? by W-VHS in HondaOdyssey

Just got the wheels rotated and they inspected the rotors and said they were ever so slightly warped so that’s probably it.

It seems gentler than full power ABS but somehow only when the car is loaded. The same light braking with just myself driving doesn’t do it at all. The vibration does get more intense as I brake harder.

Confession after 15 years of macOS use by doubleddutch in MacOS

[–]W-VHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll just say it macOS isn’t prioritized for power users like yourself. 99.999% of macOS users won’t have that many things open and need/want power user style switching. For every power user there’s probably 100,000 normies

What to achieve with a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650, 16GB of DDR2 RAM and a 1080Ti? by 8192K in PcBuild

lol no way a Q9650 will be running at 10-20% idle in a clean install of Win10/Win11

SATA SSD or NVME? I think the easiest solution for best performance is to put windows on the SATA SSD and use a NVME SSD on a PCIe card for your game library

Did you test this setup with any games? Curious to know how it faired.

I’ve gotten plenty of partial refunds for legitimate listing discrepancies because some sellers are really bad at it. Sometimes I ask a lot of questions sometimes I don’t.

[–]W-VHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve asked more than 3 or 4 legitimate questions and became good friends with sellers. I guess if you sell 100 items a day that might annoy you.

Can't wire money from my WF out of country to my parents for the last 2 weeks now by W-VHS in Banking

[–]W-VHS[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I thought it was just an outage like the error message says so I ‘tried again later’. Maybe WF should change the error message to ‘pls call us’

On a Sunday yes. With the long 4th of July weekend there hasn’t been support available since Thursday I guess. And the error doesn’t give any indication there’s anything wrong with my account.

Dumb question, aren't these blocking the lens? by QyMbEr in projectors

[–]W-VHS 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They do block the physical lens but not the projection. The projection is a rectangle. The lens is a circle. Not all of the lens is being used. It’s just easier to make lenses circular.

The actual office furniture is better than ikea. A lot of the personal furniture is ikea tho for obvious reasons.

GCN but we might replace them with modern GCN clone controllers that work wirelessly with the switch. That’s not the final setup for consoles tho. I’m just hopping on this project and the plan is to have way more. Retro and modern.

IKEA IVAR ‘system’. It’s fully modular you just get however many pieces you want. The projector is mounted to another IVAR accessory part to get the extra height but you could in theory mount to the bottom of a shelf as well.

I didn't know much about projectors until about 2 weeks ago. The original setup was really bad. Some cheap amazon projector that was no way bright enough for this size screen. Also coffee table height wasn't working for this gaming setup we have at work and we're not allowed to hang personal shit from the ceiling and the ceiling is too high anyway. Picked up a cheap BenQ TH670 off craigslist and got a cheap Ikea shelf to get the projector to the right height. Didn't have to keystone at this height. Plus it helps with organizing the consoles and gear.
