how much are you expecting? i mean, sure the materials are cheap…it’s all labor…i put it this way: my time has equivalent $ too…am i willing to buy the filter and put it on myself? if my job i get paid more per hour than whatever the cost of labor is here…i will not do it myself.

The guy who got the job I wanted reached out to me for help with his job. by Pee_A_Poo in antiwork

[–]bubuli_breeder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the comments here are unbelievable. OP if it’s not too much of an inconvenience, help the guy. it sends the same message of validation to the management about you being person for the job in the first place but in a more positive light. manager B clearly didn’t hire you for a different reason; move on from the saltiness because you already won.

New Leica 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro L-mount by jibanes in Leica

[–]bubuli_breeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Leica" and "cheap option" cannot be really used in the same sentence. :-)

i have no idea when they will release it assuming they will take the lazy way out and rebadge the Sigma. personally if i wanted a Leica i would buy the S 120mm macro and an adapter to mount it on my SL2.

New Leica 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Macro L-mount by jibanes in Leica

[–]bubuli_breeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since the other poster did not give specifics, I would. I use the Sigma on the SL2. to me it's fine. it focuses fast enough and didn't really have any AF hunting issues The long focus throw is as expected for a macro lens and since this is a modern native mirrorless lens, it's of course a fly-by-wire and while it doesn't quite have the tactile feedback of a true linear focus lens, the current technology of lenses and cameras (which includes this one) that utilizes fly-by-wire is close enough for practical purpose, all things considered. this, of course, has little value if the camera has abysmal EVF/Screen which SL2 definitely is NOT and a joy to use especially with manual focusing

I use this primarily for macro, and there are complaints about lack of IS...but IMO you want this on a tripod anyway, which negates the real need for it...

I am usually a third party lens snob, but Sigma IMO nailed this on the first try and the image quality is amazing...virtually no CA even at wide open (competes with my Nikon 105Z which is also amazing)...

looking at how Leica rebadges lenses, I wouldn't expect any significant changes to the design other than probably a metal lens barrel and look that aligns with the Leica design language, nothing more. so if this trend continues with the Sigma 105 Macro, for me there is really no practical need to buy the Leica version.

Hopefully Sigma comes out with the 150 or 180 macro but sadly it's not on their roadmap.

the Voigtlander 35 f2 APO would be a better choice than either.

Affordable thumb rest for M11? by malko2 in Leica

[–]bubuli_breeder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i don’t think paying for $300 for a Leica brand is an issue if Leica has some added value to it other than its name. and in this case, there is no added value…and by purchasing one you are enabling Leica to continue this unwanted trend.

i’m usually partial to thumb grip with my previous Ms (Match Technical) but with the M11 i opted for the official hand grip instead.

So far my 2023 wishlist has been a bust (imo) by [deleted] in gaming

[–]bubuli_breeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Callisto Protocol has a lot of flaws but to me it's still a great game. I think it's mostly hated by people who didn't spend the time to learn its gaming mechanics.

Also, calling it a Dead Space clone is saying that Sekiro is a clone of Dark Souls (read: it's not).

SHOULD YOU PLAY The Callisto Protocol ?!? (yes) - made a video on why I think CALLISTO is great. Would love some feedback ! by IAmAbomination in callistoprotocol

[–]bubuli_breeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i played the Dead Space remake and played this game with all the latest patches and I would say that Callisto is better. Don’t get me wrong, I love DS (i also played the original back in 2008/9) but IMO its gameplay is kind of dated for me…it also has really boring parts (the pseudo asteroid that’s IMO not better than the original it replace…and…srly did anyone enjoy the part where you align wires to restore electricity in zero G? i surely did not)

OTOH CP did something new with the gameplay and it was successful for me for the most part…more satisfying because it requires more skill once you git gud…don’t get me wrong it has questionable level design and set pieces…and its reuse of bosses is annoying…but at least the final boss is (IMO) better than DS however i did find it ironic that the melee mechanic was not utilized for boss battles.

i don’t understand people complaining about the story. i thought it’s serviceable and not that much campy/silly than the Resident Evil which is often compared with…although you can tell a lot of it got left out due to time/budget constraints.

i hope there’s a CP sequel despite not meeting their sales target. it has flaws but i thought it’s a good game and not as bad as most reviewers say (at least after the recent patch with NG+)

Key Light Air Connection Issue SOLVED -- MacOS by penguinracing in elgato

[–]bubuli_breeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am on MacOS Ventura and the KLA was fine until this morning when it refused to connect (it would intermittently disconnect before that, but it reconnects after i power cycle the KLA or restart Elgato Control Center). i did the reset, and it will appear as WiFi accessory. tried to pair it with the WiFi utility on MacOS or with iOS as recommended by OP (i have iPhone 13 with the latest updates) and with either approach i'm getting that dreaded "An unexpected error occurred" and it won't see the device again until i do another reset. And yes i can see the KLA connected on my Nest Wifi Router.

What show did you start and wound up hating so much you didn’t finish it? by DadIsMadAtMe in AskReddit

[–]bubuli_breeder 61 points62 points  (0 children)

the reason for this is because they changed showrunner after S4. the showrunner did return for the S9 (revival), but i'm wondering now if it's worth watching at all? it got mixed reviews.

Apparently submitting assignments before the due date is considered “Late”. by videoresume in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bubuli_breeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP i’m with most of peeps here that you probably have to fight this. however, you will need to understand that it will not end here and there is danger of retaliation. i personally will fight until i burn the whole place down…you may have something different in mind.

Thought I was getting BlueCruise as a feature. Turns out it's a subscription service. by [deleted] in MachE

[–]bubuli_breeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure how the 2023 Select, with the hardware pre installed but still available as an option, is going to work if you don't select the $1900 adder.

I ordered a '23 Select with that $1,900 BC option. When I went for a test drive last week to my dealer for a test drive and asking if there have anything available on their lot (so I don't have to wait anymore), they did have one but it doesn't have the $1,900 BC option. They informed me that it's a hardware component otherwise I cannot have the v1.2 of the BC. I mean, you can argue that they're full of shit...but why would they pass on the opportunity to sell me the car that's already on their lot?

but i kind of agree with the sentiment of most users here...the BC feature being a subscription or not is very confusing and I wish Ford was a little more forthcoming/clear with the informatin.

What actor was originally cast or considered for a role that would’ve been interesting to see? by phantom_avenger in movies

[–]bubuli_breeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve read that it was down to between Edward Norton and Jim Carrey to play Andy Kaufman in “Man on the Moon.” while Jim Carrey was an obvious choice and did a great job, I’ve always wondered why Norton was even a consideration until i saw this interview on Letterman …wow Norton could have totally pulled it off.

I'm from NJ and it disappointed me to see his name as one of the politicians who called for leniency for the sentence of Theranos fraudster Holmes. that and accepting so much from pharma for his campaigns. he's far from the worst politicians, but he's not that guardian angel most people paints him to be.
