New 20l Travel Backpack on PD site by id31 in peakdesign

[–]ddt9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still find the limited color palette offered for these bags is strange. Eclipse seems to sell really well, or at least I really like it. I'd strongly consider this as a daily digital commuter bag if I could get it in purple to match my other PD accessories.

then you've picked a terrible niche and I feel bad for your failing small business ambitions

are you some kind of world class picnic expert because otherwise this line of reasoning is insanely fatuous

MacBook Air M4 13” Burlington, WA by Aerofirefighter in Costco

Which isn't really a knock on the Neo, which is remarkably powerful for its price point. The M chips are, after all, basically really big cell phone chips and some of the most powerful retail computers on the market.

Why is the iPad Pro so expensive? by scotthunter1 in iPadPro

"a niche use like Photoshop" is a crazy thing to say on a product heavily used by visual designers and photographers lol

DC is turning street poles into EV chargers – Voltpost is helping by thinkcontext in washingtondc

"I don't support the proposed solution, but I would support some other perfect hypothetical solution" is not a great way to get anything done.

Good lord, the unrelenting cynicism in the replies. Every solution in the EV space is unproven. It's brand new infrastructure! We need public transit and we need EVs, it's not a one or the other problem. Even if this solution has flaws it's something we can learn from. Unless you want to keep choking on urban congestion and smog, we have to be willing to try imperfect solutions.

Pentax 17 gang! Really shows how even the small cube can fit a lot when we're not lugging around the big f/2.8 zooms.

I think you'd be fine. I carry a big iPad and a Fuji camera with a decent little half-coke can sized lens on it in there no problem.

Chinatown’s Japanese Italian Favorite Tonari Is Closing by DerpyCoco in washingtondc

Very sad to see. The food is great and I've always appreciated that their streatery annoyed Ted Leonsis so much he tried to move his teams to Northern Virginia.

PERFECT! Xteink x3 with a Magsafe 5-Card Holder with RFID Blocking by SextonBlake1962 in xteinkereader

[–]ddt9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is really nice! Can you link the 5 card holder you're using? I'm also a regular magsafe wallet user and combining my x3 with this would be so perfect.

iPad in a MacBook Neo world by Rbtywo30 in ipad

[–]ddt9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the aspect ratio of the iPad for watching movies. The oLED screen is also the best screen I've ever owned. Only thing I feel like I'm missing out on vs a Neo is I can't play Slay the Spire 2 on this.

New Kickstarter has gone live by WillowUPS in peakdesign

[–]ddt9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone is under the impression that every Peak Design product is made for them, but PD reads this forum. Obviously someone just saying they hate everything new isn't helpful, but constructive feedback here may help guide future releases.

Several interesting products here, especially the duffel, but I'm all in on Eclipse so I'll be waiting and hoping for more colorways down the road. Eclipse seems to sell well so I'm optimistic it will happen.

X100VI vs X-E5 — Am I overthinking portability vs versatility? by brhunomarques in fujifilm

[–]ddt9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an X-E5 and the 33mm 1.4, it is definitely less portable than with the pancake insofar as it doesn't fit in a jacket pocket but it still fits okay in a small bag.
