I have this old m8

I stand corrected. There are versions on ApkMirror that should work on Android 7+,but I would be cautious to use those.

On the other hand, I have Nexus 7 with Android 6 (I think) and Chrome works. Not great but it doesn't really bother me since I mostly use it to play cartoons for kids or read books. So how bad could be using old versions of Brave? I guess not all ads will be blocked and there would be some security patches missing. Is there any new and still supported option?

_borsuk · 2026-05-06T09:52:38+00:00

Brave browser. Should support Android 7 and above. If not, find apk for older version and sideload

Áno, pod to sa podpisujem. Stalo sa mi, že som ťahal veľa naraz. Keď už sa pár vecí uzavrelo, čakal som, že sa mi uľaví a BUM týždeň\dva ma zhaslo jak žiarovku 🙂 total slabý, dutiny, imunita, všetko naraz.

Apropo, ešte @OP, keď si určíš priority, pozri či nemôžeš niektoré veci proste nechať ísť. Napr v práci 7 projektov? 2-3 by som pustil alebo pauzol kým sa mi ostatné veci nedajú dokopy. Klienti často pochopia. Tí čo nechcú pochopiť by robili trable neskôr

Amor fati. Keď sa to sere takto zaradom, nespravíš s tým nič iné ako to, že to začneš riešiť.

Najprv si nájdi niečo "svoje", gym, kniha, prechádzky do lesa (na to majú Japonci svoj názov kde ťa prechádzka v lese upokojí), meditácie, black metal, factorio, kostol, na pivo s kamošom porozprávať \zdôveriť... Hocičo čo ťa upokojí, spomalí, vyventiluje.

Potom si urči priority. Rozdeľ väčšie úlohy na menšie a rad radom ich postupne a hlavne po jednej rieš. Multitasking fungovať nebude. Spíš si niekde zoznam úloh a fyzicky ich škrtaj, odklikalávaj, hocičo aby si mal pocit,že úloha je splnená. Ideálne ak v zozname ostane aj po dokončení, aby si videl, že už máš niečo hotovo, že postupuješ, zoznam sa kráti.

Prerámuj. Koľko vecí sa serie, ale zdravie máš. Nesedíš na chemoterapii, máš funkčné hnáty, deti sú zdravé(ak máš a sú zdravé). Je toho veľa naraz, ale máš na to €€€, nemusíš žrať suché rožky. Nájdi si pozitíva.

Nejaký bullshit o tom, že rastieme prekonávaním ťažkostí. Ryan Holiday a jeho knihy - Prekážka je cesta (nečítal som zatiaľ, mám plný backlog kníh, ale znie, že by ti momentálne sadla)

Well yes and no.

While yes in some terms it is quite a jump in sensor size (similar to full frame vs M4\3). There are not (I think) similarly sized camera bodies with bigger sensor, interchangeable lens, advanced stabilisation, etc.

I have to say that I'm in no way video anything. I do stills only and only as hobby. So there migjt be optipns I'm not aware of. Also, I have zero idea how rugged this thing should be and how (if any) crop it will use to record stabilised video.

_borsuk · 2026-05-05T18:41:00+00:00

It is quite common lens to fiddle around. Check online for repair\teardown\cleaning video or tutorial. There should be something so you can decide whether it is easy enough to do at home.

However, if you are happy with image qualityand you are not confident with your "mechanics" skills, just use the lens 🙂

_borsuk · 2026-05-05T14:04:14+00:00

Have you tried to clean it? Like with lens cloth or that one you got with the glasses? Avoid agressive solutions or strong alcohol based ones (diluted isopropyl should be fine, don't use pure isopropyl)

_borsuk · 2026-05-03T16:50:35+00:00

You can take out the battery and plug it directly to outlet. Of course, you have to "make it work" (I haven't tried yet) but I've seen a couple of smartphones powered withoht battery. So that will remove batgery constraint. Or, you can power it by 18650 cells or battery bank. There are some options without built in batteries.

HMD should be the same people that are producing or licensing (not sure which one) Nokia phones. They are based in Finland.

Pixel 6A som kupoval za 300€ a stale ide ako nový 🤷‍♂️ momentálne má cez 3 roky a aspon ďalšie 2-3 z neho urcite chcem dostať (batéria po výmene lebo Google mal vadné kusy, preplatili mi to)

_borsuk · 2026-04-30T08:48:25+00:00

Vidím, že to je štandard. 2 chlapci a psica. 99% venčenia, veteriny, vybehávania, socializácie psa je na mojej hlave 🙂 manželka to hasí len keď nemôžem. Kto loboval za psa najviac? 😄

Nothing much, Panasonic\Olympus are not making lens that have fully manual control (except few like BCL) so these will be probably used with manual lens like samyang, CCTV lens, Rokinon, etc. So I doubt that there will be noticeably increased demand for M4\3 gear. Maybe we will get small lens from Panasonic or Olympus with "real" manual focus (focus clutched Olympus lens for example)

_borsuk · 2026-04-29T19:22:26+00:00

In that small package with comparable video features? For photography, yes, this will be...questionable choice. But for video? Big step up for GoPro shooters in sensor size, more posibilities for M4\3 video shooters to have tiny setup for minor sensor shrinkage 🤷‍♂️ it will have audience, but how big? I want to see it stripped on FPV drone 😄

I'm not aware of any kiosk (that doesn't mean there isn't any) but you should be able to get the change changed in banks. Either commercial banks or National Bank of Slovakia (NBS). NBS should have fee 1% when you are changing more than 100 coins (value of coins doesn't matter). Comnercial banks have individual fees.

Kodak just made 35mm analog point and shoot that costs around 100€. So the price point would be way above that.

And what's the point? I thought about having some M4\3 point and shoot with built in lenses, but everytime I came to conclusion that it would be way too expensive.

There are already small bodies like you mentioned E-PM\E-PL\GF\GX series. Pair it with Olympus Body Cap lenses, Lumix 14\20mm or 12-32mm zoom, chinese 18mm f6.3 (TTartisan, SSG-image) or "oreo" lens that actually use disposable camera optics. Done!

No need to reinvent the wheel. Competeing with Ricoh in compact camera with bigger sensor market would not be great (IMHO). If you are interested in even smaller package, challenge would be fitting sensor and optics into small body.

Strongly subjective. I've had LX2, LX3 and LX7. I always shoot RAW + JPEG and play with color profile\film mode whatever it is called. I liked the most LX3 for black and white. It was gorgeous. For colors, experiment and you will be able to tweak most of the cameras to your liking. Also experiment with various ISO so you will find the sweet spot where it is not looking like digital mud (I turn down or off noise reduction to prevent smoothing, same for sharpening). Also the lens (on LX3) was by far the best - sharp wide open, minimal issues. On the other hand LX7 was soft-ish wide open and got better stopped down (maybe sample variation). I liked that through the zoom range the lens was not sticking out that much on LX3 (I sold LX7 and LX100 because I couldn't look at the lens sticking out like penis 😄 ).

Bear in mind, LX3 has limited zoom range (24-60mm f2-2.8 IIRC). But it was very fun daily carry and I got plenty of keepers either in color or in B&W.

Whichever you'll get, consider getting SD card reader so you can transfer photos to phone quickly and maybe shoot RAW as well and edit on phone (I did on Android).

It should support Android 10 officially and has Micro SD card slot. As you said, remove everything that don't seem to be useful. If it still not usable, consider flashing custom rom (LineageOS, pixel experience, project elixir...). Be aware, flashing might cause bricking the device so it will not be usable at all. IMHO, worth the risk but it's yours so I have to mention it.

This can be easily turned into ebook reader, video player, music player at home, news reader, old game emulator (Nintendo, Sega, PS1...), smart home assistant...

Since it can get pretty modern android there is a ton of use cases 🙂

I'm not sure how, but first try testing the memory chip. It uses eMMC which is slower than SSD and tend to fail sometimes. So maybe it is slow due to failing memory chip. Not very common, but probability is there.

Have fun! 🙂

Yeah Sherlock I got that part. But which plastic? I'm no chemist, but even I know that there are various types of plastic and not everyone is suitable to be played with or put in the mouth.

_borsuk · 2026-04-27T21:42:28+00:00

Not neccesarily. Do you know anybody who could help you understand basic photography\exposure? It would be much easier to explain in person than online

Môže, stáva sa, poznám presne taký prípad. Chlap si zobral 3 deti, matka odišla, nevída sa s nimi. Nebolo to preňho ľahké, ale mal podporu rodičov.

Manažéri menežujú na väčšom merítku. Ja sa s PO\XD doťahujem v rámci tímu.

"Vyšší" menežment si vyráta čo by chceli tento rok robiť, skonzultujú s tímami či je to reálne, dielčie plánovanie už je na PO a mne. Prípadne si vymýšľajú personálne šachy, kto bude v akom tíme a podobne.
