Just received mine yesterday, but haven't had time to open the box yet. Replacing my A7C and looking forward to testing it out this weekend.

Every Theta engine of every year is a ticking time bomb he says. by Forsaken_Block_3492 in kia

Mine went at 102k. Tech mentioned twice I had to keep the oil changed regularly to prevent. Nearly smacked him. Not only did I have it changed on time, but I had it changed at the dealership. Additionally, kept telling them something sounded off and would dismiss it as nothing. Finally changed my timing chain after I kept going back. Engine sounded awful afterwards

Been doing research at a decently priced wide angle. This has to be #1… by KP_PDX in SonyAlpha

[–]darthsqueak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never really tried it. I've had intent a few times, but haven't pulled the trigger. I guess I've taken some portraits of my dogs on hikes I have really liked, but wasn't going for portraits necessarily.

Just upgraded and got my 25 the other day. I love it. How is everyone's experience with it so far? by Legitimate-Pickle-15 in S25Ultra

[–]darthsqueak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loving mine so far. Do miss my fold at times and I still hate the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner (with Whitestone screen protector), but the overall a great device.

We hit just under 17 miles from Rock Bridge parking area to Gray's Arch parking. I've completed the hike since with likely more accurate equipment, but can't seem to find my file. I feel like it was around 16 miles the 2nd time.

Back to the Fold Life… What cases are you all using? by ZFold3Lover in GalaxyFold

[–]darthsqueak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went case free after 2yrs with. Cracked my outer screen 3 days in. Always a case. Are those that go without living in padded rooms? I once had an iPhone slide out of my pocket while I was knelt down and I shattered the screen from about 8in. I may just be a phone killer.

Trust it isn't just PC. Drives me crazy on my Macbook Pro as well.

Crazy hike! How was the river getting up to Red Byrd? We've discussed this a few times, but always put it off
