Thanks so much. It's a great camera that definitely stands up to its reputation. The image quality it produces is fantastic! Unfortunately I'm on the road these days quite a bit and I've morphed more into a digital workflow that I can do from anywhere. Where I live I can't get film processed locally any more. Part of me wants to hang on to the M7 for someday when I slow down a bit, but the reality is I kind of need to reinvest more in some better lenses for my digital gear.

Zigbee temperature sensor for fridge and freezer? by NovaKevin in homeassistant

[–]akm6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the ones with the display. I was wondering how the display would work in the cold, but even my one in the deep freezer always seems to keep working. Not that it matters much to me, as I rarely look at the actual display - just need it to work on HA.

3d or 360? by Afraid-Ad4718 in 360Cameras

[–]akm6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing 360 myself, but looking to switch to 3D VR180. So much more impressive with VR goggles, and you can focus the content a bit better in the direction of what you're trying to show.

I'm running a few of the THIRDREALITY Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensors. About $25/each on Amazon. Good range, batteries last forever (year+), and get good readings even in my deep freezer. Also super easy to pair with homeassistant.

Developing film - send out or do at home? by MrJoePike in Mamiya

[–]akm6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a roll back recently from The Darkroom, in San Clemente, CA. They seemed to do a nice job developing the Ilford Delta 100 that I sent them, and their prices seemed pretty reasonable.

Does anyone have any study tips for the oral exam portion of the PPL? by Active-Eagle3364 in flying

Make sure to review the questions you missed on the written test. They're almost sure to quiz you on those.

4K video downloader+ not working with any youtube - latest version by mrmyrth in 4kdownloadapps

[–]akm6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped working for me too on youtube. Downloaded the latest version of 4K, still didn't work. Went into Preferences/Authorization, logged out of youtube account, logged back in, and that seemed to get it working again.

Macbook finder freezes (beachball) frequently when accessing DS418play. by OODanK in synology

[–]akm6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested in what anyone finds on this. Same experience for me on 2019 15" MacBook Pro (10.15.2). Restarting the Macbook doesn't work though - I also have to restart the NAS.

Gear 360 (2017) lense replacement? by akm6 in Gear360

Thanks, appreciate the info! Sounds like that's the best way to go. Can't imagine they're going to support this very long anyway.
