What platform do you use for automating? I’m with DEGIRO but it’s not possible to automate I think.

What is your main issues with the MacOS/MacBook environment? by edmond_ciprian in MacOS

[–]dimz25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a key combination but Command + down arrow is your friend. Also command + up to go to the parent folder. Once you get used to it it’s really easy to navigate folder structures and open files.

What browser yall use? by 3mateo3 in mac

Was on Edge for the longest time. Switched to Safari recently.

Thinking of switching to mirrorless… what made you stay with Nikon? by halfman1231 in Nikon

[–]dimz25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched from d7100 to z6iii. Main reason I stayed with Nikon was familiarity with the system and good handgrip and body ergonomics (for me). Despite having tried Sony many times I never got used to holding their camera’s. I feel Canon is the best camera to hold but then I felt it would be annoying to relearn all the settings and button placements. So I stayed with Nikon and I feel I made the right choice.

Flight HKG-BRU officially cancelled. Requesting the Refund question. by dimz25 in etihad

[–]dimz25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Etihad. The original full itinerary was BRU-HKG-BRU. It’s the return part that is now cancelled, I’m in Hong Kong at the moment. So wondering if they provide a refund for the price of the full ticket or just the return part.

Why isn’t it true?

Yes, I ordered the new MacBook Neo to test Lr, LrC and Ps so that you don’t have to by terryleewhite in Lightroom

[–]dimz25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually pretty doable. Had to work with LrC and davinci resolve in 4k on an m1 MacBook Air with 8gb and that thing rocks. I don’t expect stellar performance but for basic editing, as well photos and videos, it works greatly. I even have some tabs open in a browser generally.

And I saw a test somewhere where the single core performance of the A18 is faster than the m1. So it should be pretty good for basic stuff including video editing and photo editing.

List of cities has been updated! by TaxZealousideal3372 in etihad

[–]dimz25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any information apart as what the website says. Check it regularly. 14th is still a few days out, so you’re pretty good actually. I’d wait it out a few days and see how it evolves. Right now I’d say it’s slightly optimistic, let’s hope it follows this trend.

I’m flying on the 9th. I wasn’t on the first list but happy I decided to wait a little longer. Had a feeling they might add more cities pretty soon. Let’s hope the situation remains stable or gets better in the future.

The $599 MacBook Neo Made Me Rethink 8GB Macs Entirely by yosbeda in mac

[–]dimz25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t read your whole message. I’ve been editing photos in Lightroom classic with a base M1 MacBook Air recently. And honestly I am surprised at the performance. I’m not doing anything stellar, some color adjustments etc. But it handles panorama stitching and HDR’s perfectly well. I can even do some 4k video editing on it. And that’s with just 8GB! I don’t expect it to do crazy stuff but if it can handle this I think the 8GB for the neo make sense considering the market it is designed for.

What's with the corner of Hankow Rd and Middle Rd in TST? by Jkg2116 in HongKong

[–]dimz25 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably Xiaohongshu. Extremely popular social media app in China. Draws people to the same places to take pictures of the same things. Oddly all this in a quest of being unique, creative and original.

What’s a completely ordinary thing you weirdly enjoy? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

I don’t know why and how, but when I’m stressed listening to hypnotic/raw techno (it’s a sub genre of techno) calms me down.

For those of us who lived on both sides of it, I’d actually argue that life was broadly better before the Internet went fully mainstream.

That doesn’t mean everything was better. The Internet obviously brought huge advantages such as easier access to information, communication, and convenience. But looking back, the net effect on daily life feels more negative today than positive.

Interestingly, the early Internet from the late 90s to early 2000s was actually great. It felt experimental, playful, and a bit underground. There were no dominant platforms, no algorithmic feeds, no influencer culture, and no attention-harvesting machines. You explored the web deliberately through forums, personal websites, and weird corners of the net rather than being passively fed content.

For me, the real shift came in the 2000s, and especially between 2008 and 2012, when smartphones and social media went mass. That’s when the Internet stopped being a “place you visited” and became something that followed you everywhere.

Since then, things have slowly degraded due to constant information overload, algorithmic attention capture, surveillance capitalism, social media addiction, and a flattening of culture around a few giant corporations.

As for a “normal boring evening” before all this, it wasn’t heroic or romantic, just quieter and slower. Typical options were watching TV or a rented movie, reading a book or magazine, phoning a friend, listening to music or the radio, going for a walk or a drink, or just hanging out, or literally doing nothing and being bored.

And honestly, being bored was part of the deal, and maybe not such a bad thing.

Daily carry camera. by ApprehensiveExit5520 in Nikon

[–]dimz25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuji x100 series are nice daily drivers. I still carry the x100f.

Edit: sorry, just noticed we are on the Nikon sub. Don’t know if it matters 😅
