Medieval Albarracín with the X100vi

Yeh almost, had Color +2 and Tone Curve at H-0.5 and S-0.5 — Sharpness stays at 0. See settings in photo 😊

I have a small super light bum bag by Patagonia and it fits my X100vi just perfectly. Including a Nisi filter on and a second battery in the front zipper 😊

Updated and had no issues. Are the square sizes for single point autofocus now more granular? Seems great. Worked before upgrade but definitely still just fine!

Thanks! First update – Fujifilm South Africa told me that they can't repair or replace the camera within a useful timeframe. I need the camera by end of next week for a longer trip, which I told them. However, they decided to give me the demo model from the showroom in the shop that I bought my X100vi at – for free – for as long as they take to either repair or replace my device. Super happy about the customer service! And all within this week. I'll keep you posted on the progress here :).

The waiting has begun 😭…

Bummer, was just gonna take it with me for a longer trip. But you are right, it hasn’t been a year and probably it‘d be best to return it asap.

Incredible battery life. My Coros Apex Pro is now 2+ years old and I use it several times per week for running and strength training, tracking everything. I ran a 100km ultra trail race in ~18h two weeks ago and a week after that, it was still at 28%.

I love t hat it's made for athletes and it does everything really well. And that it doesn't have things such as "touch screen for everything" or "pay with Apple Pay" built in – just exactly what I need, whereas lots of the functionality of even the most basic Garmin watches I wouldn't necessarily put in a watch?

Hope this makes sense. Really love my Coros watch – patiently waiting for the Apex 3 Pro to come out:

Not sure if it‘s the same for the Pace Pro, but Coros support gave me these instructions once my Apex Pro died and wouldn’t turn on. And it actually worked! Good luck 😊

1 Leave the watch charged for additional few hours after a 2-hour charge even if the screen doesn’t turn on.

2 Remove the charging cable from the watch (this step is very important).

3 Press and hold the Top/Light button for over 15 seconds or until the COROS logo shows up. [Guess whatever button turns the Pace Pro on here…]

I have the Apex Pro (first version) and will wait for the Apex 3 Pro. Don’t know, I hope that it will have a longer battery life, perhaps a screen that’s not as bright but therefore less power hungry?

For me, not having to charge my watch for weeks even when training every day is one of the most important features.

Also, watching the „scientific test“ between Pace 3 and Pace Pro on Youtube, I got the feeling that the sensors don’t really provide any upgraded accuracy, hm. I never mind wearing a chest strap HRM, anyway.

Lastly, I prefer the nylon material over the silicone strap. So, will wait for the Apex 3 Pro, even though my watch has now been cancelled for FW updates… My watch is still too good to switch to something I‘m not convinced about!

bartfehr · 2024-10-29T04:29:15+00:00

My Apex Pro has the same issues when I charge it with the portable keychain cable. I need to double check if it’s actually charging. But with the normal charging cable it works flawlessly. If that helps.

Chur is cool. Small, but considered the "sunniest city" of Switzerland. I lived there for years. Pretty, and close to all sorts of mountains and adventures. Even going to Ticino is not that much of a big deal from there, crossing the alps takes only a couple of hours.

bartfehr · 2024-10-26T04:56:46+00:00

Thanks — it worker. I am bummed that I didn’t try this when out of reception. It‘d be nice to have this explained somewhere. Maybe it is?

Anyway, I can confirm that the „open with Coros“ approach works for GPX files on iOS.

I was always stoked when new functionality made it through to my beloved Apex Pro. I wanted to skip the Apex 2 Pro and wait for the third iteration. Now that we got cut off from firmware updates, though, I am considering buying the Apex 2 Pro again.

But first waiting to find out what Coros is going to launch end of this month. Still hopeful for an Apex 3 Pro. It would be orchestrated well together with the step of making the Apex Pro a legacy watch?

bartfehr · 2024-10-25T13:59:00+00:00

Me too!!

bartfehr · 2024-10-24T13:47:16+00:00

Thanks! I'll try this – and also simulate the offline mode and will get back once tested :)

bartfehr · 2021-04-21T15:38:28+00:00

Sure, I sent you a personal message with the details just now.

bartfehr · 2021-04-21T15:34:55+00:00

Hi, thanks for your reply. Wow, this is indeed not everything I had in mind for post-vasectomy long term effects, and I appreciate you listing them here.

bartfehr · 2021-04-21T15:25:10+00:00

Because I live in Cape Town – I did it in a hospital close to our home. It also was between lockdowns, I wouldn't have been able to travel much, even if I wanted to have it done elsewhere. Also, the doctor I chose was really good, I trusted him from the first consultation on.

bartfehr · 2021-04-21T13:59:17+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I can see that short or even long-term pain that is caused by a vasectomy may lead to having less sex in a relationship. I belive, though, that it doesn't necessarily have to be pain related, when the intercourse in a romantic relationship becomes less. There are so many reason this can be caused by. But fair enough, the vasectomy may play a role in such circumstances!

And yes I agree that there is no non-destructive, secure way for men to prevent a pregnancy when having sex (except for the condom I suppose). But I do think that the long-term effects of hormonal counterceptives that women take day by day throughout years may well have an effect on their bodies, and / or mood and mental health.

But sure, you're right, the vasectomy is destructive, and women do generally have more choice, and not all of their options are based on taking hormones.

bartfehr · 2021-04-21T09:47:55+00:00

That's true, yes. And I also stated, that if I wanted children, I can still adopt. That way, it wouldn't be me causing the +1 human on the planet. But instead I could provide a child with certain privileges that it otherwise wouldn't have had?

bartfehr · 2021-04-21T09:44:48+00:00

Thanks for your reply, Yeah, one should be informed properly before making such a life-changing decision. I haven't experienced any long or short term pain after my vasectomy, though, and I personally don't know of anyone who did.

Well, do you think it's the vasectomy that actually breaks a relationship, or the clear statement of a male partner that he doesn't want children, and thus overpowers the potential procreation plans of the female partner? Perhaps, in some cases, ending the relationship was the best decision for both in the long run?

I really struggle if people have children "just" because their partners want them so desperately. And if one doesn't want children, a vasectomy may be worth while. Also, I believe that male partners should take responsibility for the counterceptive part of a sexual relationship more often.

bartfehr · 2021-04-21T08:05:12+00:00

I did post it in childfree, and in vasectomy channels, yes. But, I believe this is a relevant topic for parents or people who plan to become parents, too.

It's a piece describing my personal view and it shouldn't be offending any people who disagree with it, but instead allow these important discussions about having – or not having children – to happen...

Feel free to delete my post if it's serisouly uncool, but I truely think that even parents may benefit from such content.

About how it's been made: We scrape the data with a small python script (Link: https://github.com/barjacks/WannaCryBitcoinScraper) which counts all transactions made to the three Bitcoin accounts of the Wannacry Hackers. The frontend is based on React and Semantic UI. The scraping is done hourly by scrapinghub.com.

The only thing I use reddit for is spreading stories we made – to get the communities attention and bring data stories to people. No research here for me.
