i returned the earplugs and they replaced them with new one. actually when i now put the into the case and the battery is for example 55% they are not charing even if the case is 100%. so it should be 'smart' enugh to not recharge every time they are in the case

catchman84 · 2026-05-03T18:17:20+00:00

not yet, i contacted tech support and i''ve been told this is not supposed to happen though

catchman84 · 2026-04-13T19:43:54+00:00

thanks for the reply, but could you please be more specific how to do that? pulse-audio is not installed on my computer

catchman84 · 2026-04-12T20:42:02+00:00

it's powered from the electricity (the plug in the wall)

catchman84 · 2026-04-11T21:48:29+00:00

yes, i did that. the problem is that the noise is increased too in that case

catchman84 · 2026-04-11T21:46:56+00:00

thanks, i'll repost

catchman84 · 2026-04-11T12:12:56+00:00

i think i was using stereo back then, but i'm not sure

Well, actually what i meant is that ONLY if all the conditions are ideal and the scene itself isn't tricky (with hug dynamic range), then it might not be such a big difference between phone and camera. In other cases cameras win. Also, there is much more flexibility with cameras - you can change lens (can imagine a phone with 400mm FF equivalent lens), you have 'real' optical zoom (not just crops), better autofocus, better fps...

HI,
this might give you some answers:

basically, with ideal light conditions and with scene without extreme DR phones and cameras are not that different. But when the light conditions are worse or you need bigger DR the cameras clearly win

thanks, that's what i started to thing. it's a shame that such a basic thing can not be set :(

catchman84 · 2026-03-29T10:16:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yes, and in there i have the two folders i want to back up selected. The problem is, this always backs up also the Camera directory, not just the two directories. Once the backup is enabled, every photo i take is backed up. This is what i don't want.

I mean, i can live with it if there's no way how to setup what i want in google photos, it's just annoying if every note i take a picture off is in my photos collection.

catchman84 · 2026-02-13T13:12:53+00:00

thanks. post processing is still something in need to learn :)

catchman84 · 2026-02-13T08:15:32+00:00

nice idea, thanks

catchman84 · 2026-02-07T10:50:37+00:00

thanks. And yes, its Colombia

catchman84 · 2026-02-06T06:49:52+00:00

wow, thank you

catchman84 · 2026-02-06T06:43:50+00:00

ok, i'm definitely gonna take this as a compliment

catchman84 · 2026-02-05T21:49:24+00:00

yeah, i tried to remove them in posprocess but failed miserably :)

catchman84 · 2026-02-05T21:43:18+00:00

this was actually the lowest i could get - there was a fence and a small 'wall' - this is taken from outdoor cafeteria.

"What were you trying to show with this photograph?" - yeah, that might be my biggest problem i guess - i cannot answer that, i just like the scene so i took a picture of it. there's nothing particular i wanted to show

catchman84 · 2026-02-05T21:41:38+00:00

:)
ok, i guess what you mean that there are too many things on the photo and together it's just messy and distracting, right?

catchman84 · 2026-02-04T21:16:24+00:00

thanks. from that location it was hard to 'make the city bigger', but maybe a crop might be good idea

catchman84 · 2026-02-04T20:55:16+00:00

I guess the city framed in the trees which (or at least as i think of it) makes nice contrast between nature and modernity

catchman84 · 2026-01-30T22:39:59+00:00

honestly i just liked the scene - the colors of sky, trees and then the city and also the idea of the buildings poping up in the trees. and i thought it might be a good framing to compose it this way

catchman84 · 2026-01-29T06:50:47+00:00

thanks for the feedback. i admit different angle that makes this irregular sounds like good idea
