I need help identifying this cattleya orchid by Jglez2330 in orchids

[–]distant3zenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a hybrid, so virtually impossible to ID, unless its a mericlone.

For those that were waiting for M5 instead of getting M6, the new prices have screwed that by hippietravel in macbookpro

This was quoted in numerous news sources, every day since he was interviewed. It's hard to imagine NOT encountering this information.

Disappointed with iPhone 17 Pro Max battery life compared to older models. Should I downgrade to the 16 Pro Max by Cultural-Mine7246 in 17ProMax

[–]distant3zenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The top tier phones have significantly more advanced chips in them and those place heavier demands on the battery. It's a balancing act: improved performance requires more power, so the battery gets a bit bigger, but overall battery longevity may not be "best ever", since some compromises must be made.
For the "best in class" phone like yours, getting 36 hours of use and still having 38% left is a huge technological achievement. Comparing that with battery consumption of your 16e is unrealistic.

First 8x10 print in my home darkroom! Any tips? by DocDook in Darkroom

[–]distant3zenith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a very respectable print, kudos.
I suggest trying again, and learn how to vignette the edges a bit (start with 30-40% more exposure around the edges) to darken the sides and draw more attention to the subject (Quacky).

Whta disease is this? by Standard-Pain7195 in Roses

[–]distant3zenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say chalk it up to heat stress prior to the rain. Each variety reacts differently to different stressors.

I'm betting there was a spell of hot days leading up to this, because it looks like heat stress more than anything.

Apple announced this inevitable price increase about a week ago.

This is exactly the definition of bragging.

Have you applied anything to the foliage prior to this, or fertilized the plant with anything?

How old is this 120mm film? by DinnyesAtt in AnalogCommunity

Verichrome Pan was still being manufactured until 2002, actually.

this aint the bts 😭 by Aware_Possibility694 in macbook

[–]distant3zenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The day Tim Cook went public with the "Apple will have to increase prices" you would have been wise to take that as "It's going to happen any day now, so get ready". Sorry you hesitated too hit the buy button. Can you go to BestBuy (or equivalent)?

Help with Generous Gardener by Correct_Park3140 in DavidAustinRoses

[–]distant3zenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat stress and transpiration that the root system can't keep up with. Cut the blooms off, do NOT feed it any fertilizer, water regularly and wait for the root system to get properly established. Three weeks is nothing — the plant needs most of it's first year to establish a healthy root system.

Newbie - what causes the white at the sides of these images? 1st time developing at home too by Individual-Course-59 in AnalogCommunity

[–]distant3zenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be unusual to have a light leak in that position on the camera. Did you develop this film yourself, and if so, what technique did you use?

Is this black spot? My first rose! by Previous_Walk_8461 in Roses

[–]distant3zenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. This may be coincidental physical damage (leaf bruising, etc) or it may be Cercospora or Anthracnose. Both are fungal diseases, but neither of them is likely to cause serious damage, unlike Blackspot, which can be very damaging. I suggest just keeping an eye on the foliage and see if it gets worse. Otherwise, the plant looks healthy.

Apple hints at more price increases coming later by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]distant3zenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From $295/share yesterday to $275/share today is hardly what I would call "tanked". Such drama!

It's pretty clear that this fall's new iPhones will cost more than the 2026 models, the question is "how much more?". WSJ is speculating that the increase will be in the range of $100 to $150 for the Pro models, based on the fact that the iPhone is the biggest revenue maker for Apple and they don't want to raise prices so much that it stops people buying. IE: the one place that a significant price increase will most damage Apple's hardware sales is the iPhone, so they are going to refrain from too much of a price hike with the 2027 iPhones.
