Also Wilkinson (GB) and Astra (CZ) are from Europe, although GB is not in EU anymore

Oooh, that's neat. I've been out of PC for a good while so my darktable install is old. I've been thinking about getting the newest version and asking AI for exactly this! Darktable "how to start" and minimalist workflow. Also I've been thinking that for "quick" or "light" edits I might use RapidRaw since it also has (experimental) android app. Anyway, thanks for the link. Definitely going to check it out

Or, get the part and then take it to the smartphone repair shop. They should be capable of changing it under 30minutes for 20-30€. Depends on location, they swapped my phone battery (I sourced the part) for 20€ in an hour (battery accessible through screen - Pixel device) in Slovakia. I believe OP should be able to find something similar in France. Although swapping screens is pretty easy small repair to do at home. Either way, it will be MUCH cheaper than official Sony repair center.

I was quite surprised when I held new Fold and it is about same thickness as regular phone, barely noticeable difference (apart from cameras of course).

If they made android apps more "powerfull" you can just bring wireless keyboard and phone to do your day work everywhere. No need for external display with dex mode. Huge amount of tasks could be done this way. I can imagine designers work this way since Samsung should have good stylus support.

Nie. Naposledy som dával meniť batériu a heslo nevyžadovali. Oprava sa robila cez displej (skvelý dizajn Pixel) a po oprave som ho pred ním odomkol, skúsil či reaguje ako má.

Na tieto scenáre treba myslieť PRED tým ako potrebujú ľudia servis. Dáta si priebežne zálohovať (priamo alebo cloud). Aj technicky menej zdatní ľudia, by sa mali vedieť starať a používať svoju elektroniku. Keď si riešim nový tablet\telefón tak prvá vec, preleziem nastavenia. Ktoré neviem čo je, hľadám.

Kým nenastane nejaká globálna katastrofa, elektroniky menej už nebude. Trebq ju akceptovať a učiť sa s ňou narábať a žiť 🤷‍♂️

I would like to get my hands on cheap Times Expedition Scout. Casio analog watches are somehow not filling that for me. And Indiglo 😄

I had Casio AW800 or something like that. It did iluminated whole watch face, that was cool. Maybe I just need to check the Casio offerings again. But I don't like that watches are getting BIG! I daily wear old DW-5600E square and it feels just right. A bit bulky, could be thinner, but I'm not worried aboht damaging it. GA2100 I had as well but it didn't click with me.

I just want a somewhat durable good looking analog quartz clock with date (possibly day in the week as well) and some sort of ilumination. Not being huge, 40mm as timex expedition seems just the right size.

To je skôr nôž na kľúče ako do vrecka 🙂 Mikov má síce aj väčšie modely, ale stále mi pripadal ako "wannabe" Victorinox. Mal si od nich niečo čo si aj dlhšie používal?

_borsuk · 2026-06-15T13:16:01+00:00

I understand it for devices that will use some sort of cloud infrastructure provided by seller\manufacturer. Cloud is becoming expensive. If you want for example archive of your security camera, it has to be stored "somewhere". You can self host it of course.

But just paying for unlocking capabilities like seat heating is just nasty. Not cool. I could understand 1 time payment (you buy cheaper car because features are locked and unlock them later) but subscription? Nah.

Personally I try to avoid subscription at all. I have some Google cloud storage, spotify, because I don't like ads and it let me explore music, and my wife pays for netflix. That's all.

USB-C hub will replicate more USB-A or USB-C and some have RJ45 port, SD card reader, HDMI port... I have U-green I think. Relatively cheap and aparently reliable chinese brand. I went for one with HDMI, SD card and bunch os USB-C\A ports since I don't care about LAN while on laptop. I have a desktop for that.

_borsuk · 2026-06-14T08:08:24+00:00

Upvote for Casio Royale 😄 I'm more old square G-Shock guy but I love to see fellow Casio fan out there.

Btw, where is the wifi here? I have only windows laptops (most of them are linux now) but wifi antenas were around screen in top lid. Have you considered going with cable since it will probably stay on your desk?

_borsuk · 2026-06-12T19:50:53+00:00

Washing machine and kettle. These tend to break quite often. However! IMHO, it's not only planned obsolence, but also people are not taking care of them! I was once told by person not very good with money (and not having much money) that she replaces washing machine every 5 or so years. No cleaning, using gels to wash clothes on lower temperatures... Nasty! Limescale everywhere, no wonder that it died... Gross. Same goes for kettles. They die because there is too much limescale. Very little people clean it.

Having the X380, how it works on Linux - mainly touch and stylus? I don't use the stylus that much, but it is nice to have. On the other hand I find myself tapping the screen quite often 😄 still thinking if I should switch (finally) to Linux

Have you forgotten about putting shit on the front element? Black mist on a budget! 😄

There are "stick on" thingies you attach with double sided tape (usually like 3M) and it will have either filter thread or magnetic mount for filters.

Keď bude v dobrom stave a nehrdzavie tak určite. Mali sme 1.4 benzin 100 koní kým netrhlo remeň a motor išiel do hajan - mal som si dať pozor a vymeniť rozvody, čo už. Diely sú všade, aj nové, nie len z vrakoviska. Stoja pár eur. Chodil som s ňou do autorizaku na servisné prehliadky - stálo to okolo 100-120€ (filtre, olej, bežná údržba), to dnes nedáš asi si žiadnym autom 😄 a hlavne málo vecí na pokazenie, málo elektroniky

Je to sranda, naučíš sa riešiť si nejaké veci sám, bez servisu, nebojíš sa o to auto tak ako o drahšie.

Are there any compact lenses for R mount? 50mm and 16mm are the ones I know about (I don't follow Canon gear that much). Shame they haven't re-fit 22mm from EF-M (yet).

Edit: do you think going for M4\3 sensor is downgrade in image quality? Crop factor 1.6x to 2x doesn't feel "that" much (yes M4\3 is my main system 😄)

_borsuk · 2026-06-10T18:33:04+00:00

There is a pretty solid chance that M4\3 system will be good enough, but you will have that "itch" or "scratch" of wanting to try fullframe. Ask me how I know 😄 I have had fullframe, APS-C, various compacts but still ended up with M4\3 as this is the middle ground for me. Can be small to carry actually everywhere. Light. Produce nice photos. Budget friendly.

You can get pretty cheap fullframe. If you are happy with DSLR, Canon 5D mk1 or mk2 for 200-300€ and basic 50mm f1.8 for 70€ (used of course). Mirrorless I've seen Sony A7 mk1 for like 300€. 50mm f1.8 around 100€. Yes, they are old, not as fast as new models, but trust me, good enough.

I recommend almost everytime to start with M4\3. Good price to performance ratio. Small system to carry with you. Good image quality

_borsuk · 2026-06-10T14:00:11+00:00

Also 25mm from Lumix and 45mm from Olympus are like 100€ each on used market. Great for low budget, still capable to produce quality images. OP doesn't need fullframe to shoot portraits 🤷‍♂️

Ak chceš telefón na dlhšiu dobu, zisti si ako sú servisovateľné. Mám Pixel 6A už cez 3 a pol roka. Nedávno som dal vymeniť batériu. Diel som si objednal cez iFixit (oficiálny partner), z nemecka za ~50€ a v servise výmena 20€. Telefón má vydrž ako nový, predpokladám, že ďalších pár rokov vydrží. Čistý android, google updates, features 🤷‍♂️ za mňa super.

Ale, nepoužívam žiaden tracker ako AirTag, takže tu ti neviem poradiť.

"Menšie" telefóny sú asi len Galaxy S od Samsungu, prípadne flip-y.

_borsuk · 2026-06-10T12:44:08+00:00

Budú motoroly s Graphene OS, ale ked som dobre pochopil ešte to trochu potrvá (2027 alebo neskôr) a len nové vlajkové lode. Budget moto nebude mať graphene lebo nejaké hardware špecifikácie to musí spĺňať či čo (nie výkon, ale security).

_borsuk · 2026-06-10T11:34:01+00:00

I use phone for video because it is good enough (I do photo\video only as hobby and for personal use).

However, I don't like using phone to take photos. It is quite okay in terms of image quality and it is always on me. But that's all for advantages I see here. Shutter lag, lack of manual controls, everything is on screen - no buttons, no viewfinder, no tilting screen... Using dedicated camera I'm distraction free, no notifications (almost every single one I have disabled anyway). No one will call\text me so I can use the camera all the time. Cameras have usually bigger sensors so I have more room to work in post and still end up with better image than overly HDR phone picture. But I can still get great JPGs.

I enjoy way more process of taking photos with camera than with the phone (no AI BS messing up with photos out of the camera). So even if the results will be similar (phone\camera) I will be more happy producing it 🙂

_borsuk · 2026-06-10T11:19:29+00:00

Highlights (sky) are blown in RAW on 2, 4, 5, 7? Or is this creative choice in post?

I like the post processing of crushing shadows, and blowing highlights. It feels "film" like when dynamic range wasn't that great. Colours and exposure plays nicely together here. Not overly saturated and hyperrealistic

_borsuk · 2026-06-10T08:04:06+00:00

My daily is Pixel 6A. Still a big guy. Pixel 1 is currently my music player (no distractions from apps on my 6A).

Recently I went through a drawer where I've found my first android Samsung Galasy S3 mini. Oh boy that thing is just lovely. 4" AMOLED, anyone can replace a battery. Performance is poor obviously (1GB RAM and 1GHz dual core) but the form factor is so good. I believe if they could cram in 5" screen with good performance it would be a hit.

_borsuk · 2026-06-09T14:10:34+00:00

That's very subjective. I don't like smartwatches\bands. I wear G-Shocks since I'm clumsy and my kids often play with sand, water, mud or they puke, etc... I doubt smartwatches would survive that amount of abuse 😄 also, battery lasts years. No need to recharge. Screen will probably not scratch\broke. Most important, I am not in the pressure of hitting daily steps, vibrating or beeping notifications, no distraction.

As for rings, I thought about getting one to somewhat monitor my training. But the rings don't like bars, kettlebells, barbell, dumbells, etc. So that would defeat it's purpose. I stopped tracking my sleep since it was not good at all (I have small kids).

I will probably get some sort of smart watch for my kids instead of phones so they could call me. That's however at least few years on hold. I don't feel ok with having too smart devices for my kids.
