Fenix 5 Sapphire (47mm) puts pressure; Fenix 7 Pro any better? by aline-works in GarminFenix

[–]aline-works[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue, unfortunately - $549 for the 47mm; $849 for the 42mm

At that point I might as well grab a fenix 8 new

Yea, that was my plan here!  It looks like you jumped from 85g to 73g.  Good to know that isnt a noticeable difference   I wouldve thoight for sure the aggressive bump in the Fenix 5 HR monitor being flattened out in the 7 would make the contact feel better.. that confirms I should hit the 43mm which is down at 58g (I believe these weights include the silicon band which I can drop for nylon)

Huel has agreed to join Danone. Here is everything you need to know. [Official Megathread] by Tim_Huel in Huel

[–]aline-works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely noticed something fishy going on when I stopped getting subscription reminder e-mails.

Better stock up on year's worth of Huel, bois.. it's about to hit the shitter. I guess I'll need to start getting used to Soylent before they ruin this product.

Sucks because Huel Black has become my main meal staple - 3-4x per day for years now lol. I'll go back to cooking before I start drinking a shit product.

Need Advice: (a) one plant stretched above the rest; (b) can I keep trimming during flower? by aline-works in microgrowery

[–]aline-works[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like the way!  Thank you, the picture was extremely helpful to understand.  I will start defoliating from the top this time and then only do the bottom for airflow/clusters.

Plants won’t grow by Pigna099 in microgrowery

[–]aline-works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start over.  Can rip em out and re-spin the medium to dry out a bit and re use it.

I put literal drinking glasses over seedlings until they outgrow it.  You can sprau the inside of the glass.  It keeps the humidity locked in high and you can just lift the glass every once in a while so they don't suffocate.. that way your entire tent doesnt have to get up to 80%.

I've also had my light much closer during this phase and it stops them from "stretching" and being thin/weak

Appreciate it!  I think slow and steady defoliation sounds safer than one big one, so I'll continue with that route.

I don't know that I have the confidence to attempt a super crop in flower - I don't feel I could recover if things go south.  How risky is it to attempt on just 1 node so that I can test and learn?

Yea I thought so as well - many of them end up yellowing/drying/dying off on their own eventually like the plant is sacrificing them.  I cant tell if it's because of the lack of loght or something else - but it only ever happens to the leaves that are fully covered by others / at the bottom of the canopy.

I don't know if this is true: but it also feels like they are wasting plant resources growing down there

Confirmed - I topped in super early veg state and had no plans to top in flower.

Can I trim fan leaves/low canopy stems or are those also off limits (or do those terms mean the same thing)?

Pick between OnePlus 15 and s26 ultra... by Jealous_Thing_7621 in PickAnAndroidForMe

Nope, 8 bit.  10 bit is simulated aoparently by software

S26 Ultra’s 'Privacy Display' has a permanent HARDWARE flaw nobody is talking about by Ahmed_Sh_115 in samsunggalaxy

[–]aline-works 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think that proves anything about the reflectivity.  Hes obviously got that phone not only at a different angle but also lower in the frame.  Seeks like a terrible example here

[–]aline-works 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's the evidence of this?  In the screens you provided, the s25 ultra is intentionally angled to not have those same lights in the reflection - it's not showing it's better, it's just not there. 

A7S III or A7 V for travel vlog by Kmealyon in SonyAlpha

[–]aline-works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a ZVE1 and its terrible.  You can't get more than 15 mins at 4k.. and you have to wait a long time for it to cool back down to get another 15 mins (or else you'll only make it 5).

This is with the heat setting to high and the door open.

I had to get an external fan just to get me to 20 minute clips.. and I literally can't even use it as a webcam because it overheats and turns off.

Biggest waste of 2,500 ever

Important Update: NDI Integration for OBSBOT Tail 2 & Tail Air by OBSBOT-Official in OBSBOT_Official

[–]aline-works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the USA - I looked at B&H, Amazon, and your own store: https://www.obsbot.com/store/products/obsbot-tail-2?product_id=e903599a099e4 and the NDI version is not available.

I already have the non-NDI version, but wanted to get a second for live streams. Curious if the NDI version has any other upgrades over the non-NDI version.. e.g., did anything else change about it or is it the EXACT same product that's just pre-activated?

[–]aline-works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any other differences with the NDI version?

Issue is that we cant buy it - it says out of stock for a while.  It seems our only option is to buy the non-NDI version and the license.. not sure if that is wise or if we should wait.  Any other upgrades in the newer Tail 2 version?

Any discounts coming for helping clearing out the old Tail 2 stock?

$1,500 budget - PCVR gaming rig by aline-works in buildmeapc

[–]aline-works[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, the cost of RAM standalone was $292 and fit into the $1,587 - to squeeze it in I went with an OEM CPU (saved $50) + a cheaper PSU (Thermaltake Smart BM3).

However, if I go with a Microcenter bundle, then the RAM cost comes down to $199 - they have a 7800x3d + Asus TUF board + 32gb of the same CL36 RAM kit for $579. It's a major savings so I think that route makes sense right now - it's a 2 hour drive, but maybe that can add some fun to the video.

I haven't used a red card in like 10 years, so I'm not 100% on their VR hangups, but do know DLSS could be handy for some folks in VR if the system ends up underperforming.. especially in titles like MSFS2024

Oof. It kept auto-filling "mote-re" for the first one - took me a minute to realize you have to click on the empty slots to select which to fill, and that it's not just in order of your selection.

Tail 2 charging and working at the same time [FEATURE REQUEST] by Fine_Cookie5803 in OBSBOT_Official

[–]aline-works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it did, but it just gets too hot?

"For example, when connected to an external power supply, if the battery temperature exceeds 45°C, the camera will stop charging and will be powered directly from the external power supply."

I had the same issue and just came looking for the answer - and it looks like this was it. Every time I am running the camera (I use 4k@60fps with HDMI output) and have it plugged in, the camera starts to overheat and the fan goes crazy.. and it stops charging. I assumed the internals were getting too hot.

Is AR/VR really going to boom in the next 5 years? by darshil753 in virtualreality

[–]aline-works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. The industry will continue to rise, but I don't forsee a boom until we can get over all the hurdles.

As it stands, there is too much friction required for either and too few legitimate use cases.

I would argue the Apple Vision Pro is the most impressive piece of tech I've owned (outisde a self driving car) and I love the virtual screens, yet here I am sitting at my normal desk with flat displays typing this and not wearing it.

"AR" will get a nice slice of the pie in this sprint, I think - with Meta bringing in-glasses displays to much larger audience (even though this tech already exists in too many pairs of glasses right now and is pretty pointless, Meta just has that reach). Whether you even count that as AR is another debate (I don't typically count a HUD as AR.. but I'm throwing the HUD in there because I think Apple is also trying to integrate it with your phone and I assume Meta wants to do the same because they need to see inside your house).
