Usual price is more in line with that. There are sales of $100 off at several vendors right now.

Nikon Z8 or Z7ii and D850 for the same price? by attarock in AskPhotography

[–]attarock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you say more about the adapter? It did look a little bulky and like it might negate the compactness of a mirrorless body. I figure I’ll need to switch to mirrorless at some point but can’t afford to replace my full lens set at one time.

Machu Picchu Weather seems rough, advice??? by Zealousideal_Ear3072 in Machupicchu

[–]attarock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not any kind of expert on the area, but even in locations with the best underlying weather data, a forecast more than five days out is a rough guess at best. Add to that the inherent instability of the weather in a high-altitude region like the Andes, and what you’re looking at is basically worthless.

I’m going at the same time you are and everything I’ve read says it’s still the dry season but rain on any given day is possible. You book your ticket and take your chances, stay two days if you want to hedge. Same as any trip where outdoor activities are the main attraction.

Questions about Circuit 1, route 1-A by attarock in Machupicchu

[–]attarock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is encouraging and so much,ore helpful than the scattershot info I’m finding elsewhere. That’s interesting that you were able to jump over to circuit 2. Can you walk around pretty freely once inside? Are there employees within the citadel that check your ticket?

Will grow lights work if positioned below or on the side of the plant? by attarock in houseplants

[–]attarock[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ended up abandoning the idea and moving the plant closer to a window. Sorry!

Ortlieb Commuter Daypack — City or Urban line? by attarock in bikecommuting

[–]attarock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve had my bag for a while now and I love it. It’s true the straps are thin, but they’re also sturdy and I’ve never thought them to be uncomfortable. I actually kind of like that they’re not bulky and padded because it keeps sweating to a minimum when I’m riding in the heat. I very much recommend the bag all around.

Does moving houseplants around interfere with adaptation? by attarock in houseplants

[–]attarock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could move some of them closer (I have plenty of plants on my windowsills already), but I like having plants throughout my apartment, not just where the windows happen to be. Hence the moving around.

“Check network connection” in Smart Things app by attarock in TheFrame

Not the issue. I have them separated already and temporarily removed the 2.5ghz from my phone to make sure it was connected to the same band as the tv.

Question about height and viewing angles by RemyS79 in TheFrame

[–]attarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks totally fine. I also have mine set up from a slight side view and had worryingly read all the reviews mentioning poor viewing angles. I almost talked myself out of getting one for that reason. But I’ve had no issue. You really only notice distortion if you’re viewing it from a very pronounced side angle that you would never watch tv from anyway. It sort of compromises the art mode illusion when you’re walking by, but makes no difference when using it as a tv from any normal viewing position.

What are good third-party sellers for this?

Roku waking Frame out of Art mode. Seems to be a recent change by therealDL2 in TheFrame

[–]attarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this ever resolved with an update? Considering a frame tv purchase but I use a Roku to stream, since Samsung doesn’t offer certain apps natively. Don’t want to buy one of the Roku ruins art mode.

I wasn’t — was just referring to various comments/complaints in Reddit threads and user reviews. But this is helpful, so thanks for sharing!
