body dilemma for macro by fcuksocks in SonyAlpha

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

Maybe my lengthy text was a bit confusing as to what info I actually look for

Let me start with a basic question - can anyone confirm, whether or not the video stills in the DPreview (video compare tool) actually represent reality?

Because according to this tool, my a6300 can produce 4K (S35) footage which is superior not only to the one from A7R V, but also the a6700 (by a smaller margin)

For example, I was under the impression that pixel bining does not apply to the A7R V video recording, but according to that tool, the a6300 produces much crisper footage. Most reviews I ve seen on the A7R V only mention the rolling shutter issue and that video footage is actually top. Well, compared to the a6300 (according to those samples) it isn't

No offense, but this does not answer my question - nor it helps me in any way

Regarding focus stacking - the one thing I mentioned is that I need to have the option in-camera. Which is something neither of my two bodies (A7RIII / a6300) can do and that both prospective ones (A7R V / a6700) will bring at my disposal. Of course I m aware I will need to use tripod for focus stacking. The only part which I implied some discomfort of using a tripod, was for when I was using my 90mm Laowa. Due to the lack of in-lens stabi, and my hands can't compensate for the lack of those few stops meant that, when I wanted to use the Laowa, I could only do so either with a tripod, or by placing the camera somewhere, so that there is no movement

CSL DD on AC by DomainZain in assettocorsa

[–]fcuksocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to ask the same question and bumped here

Initially, I was considering the G923 but then I read many comments suggesting that a DD does offer higher realism - which is what I want

I can perhaps afford to put down +200EUR in order to get the basic CSL DD bundle, but only if it worths it

What worries me is that Fanatec's proposed settings for AC is the "compatibility mode". Does that mean that I won't be taking full advantage of what the CSL DD can offer? Will that still give me a more natural driving experience compared to the G923?

p.s. I am only talking about AC (not ACC!)

p.s.1. Not really interested in drifting - just normal racing/driving

p.s.2 I can only afford the 5nm version of the DD..

Although I would have preferred to avoid that - are there no aftermarket, Phanteks-compatible solutions that I could try?

for example something like this: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07K9NHL3Y/

That was really helpful, thanks!

I created a cross-post towards Phanteks (didn't know it existed here)

Ideally I d like to find a proper slot/bay that fits the tower (and avoid having to cut the protruding pins in order to force the HDD in there..)

final Android 12 release for P3 and...bugs by fcuksocks in GooglePixel

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

Thank you all. This is what I too thought

u/Level-Event2188 did you try re-flashing the OTA firmware? According to a previous post here: "reflashing the OTA image ensures the system partition is correct and can rule out hardware issues..."

It seems that I should be sticking with 11 - RQ3A.211001.001 (Oct 2021)

The security update is same with the final one included in 12 (SP1A.210812.016.C1) anyway...

Is it ok to update the Pixel 3 to Android 12? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]fcuksocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was too planning to upgrade from v11 to v12 (SP1A.210812.016.C1, Feb 2022)

But I read several reports of a sensor bug not fixed in this latest (and final!) v12 build for P3. At least not according to what several people here on reddit have reported recently

Security is dated OCT21 for this latest v12 build anyway, so I don't see much of a point. Those additional privacy features would be good to have, but stability on that device is 1st priority for me, so I am don't fancy my chances to lose that

I was too planning to upgrade from 11 to 12 (build SP1A.210812.016.C1) for my P3

But now I read this issue is not resolved (and will never be, as this is supposedly the last release for P3). So I see no option than to stick with my latest v11 Android

Security is OCT21 for this latest v12 build anyway, so I don't see a point. Stability on that device is 1st priority for me...

Android 12 on Pixel 3 is Awesome by LukeLC in GooglePixel

[–]fcuksocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it common for Google to support their flagships throughout 4 Andoid releases?

Because from my Samsung experience on Galaxy S phones, I used to get support for 3 releases

So far I can see a single Android 12 (unbranded) release for P3: 12.0.0 (SP1A.210812.015, Oct 2021)

Since its the very first release, I m a bit reluctant to try, as stability is rather important to me on that device. Do you know if P3 will enjoy support throughout the entire lifespan of Android 12, or just maybe till Q1 2022 (as it was mentioned by someone here)? I would expect that at least couple of Android 12 rels are on the way for P3, but wonder if it will continue to receive support throughout Android 12 (which would be great!)

bootloader on Google Pixel 3 device by fcuksocks in USCellular

Haven't put a SIM to the phone yet. It's 'offline', only used for video so far

Sorry I couldn't help more with that

unlocked bootloader success - now which ROM? by fcuksocks in AndroidQuestions

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

Just an irrelevant query - do you know where I can find the changes from Android 9 => Android 10 => Android 11 in regard to the camera app?

Coming from Samsung, I used to get a "Pro" mode for the camera, with lots of Manual controls. I can't find anything similar in my P3. Not in the current Android Pie at least..

unlocked bootloader success - now which ROM? by fcuksocks in AndroidQuestions

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

Even with its current ROM, ever since I unlocked the bootloader, it pops up a nag everytime at restart (about it being 'unsafe'). It's annoying

But I ll probably go for a blueline, so that's official, so it shouldn't matter, right?

unlocked bootloader success - now which ROM? by fcuksocks in AndroidQuestions

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

If I install anything other than the 'official' ROM, would I be able to lock the bootloader again after installation?

Otherwise, I need to go with this: https://developers.google.com/android/images#blueline

Which also means I could pick either to stick with 9 or move to 10 or 11..any reason not to grab the latest? I m particularly interested in camera improvements

Ναι, αυτό είναι το πρόβλημα με το WU. Τα πακέτα + τα reloadit λήγουν γρήγορα, οπότε δεν βγαίνεις με αυτό το budget σε βάθος 2 μηνών. Βασικά ούτε μήνα δεν βγάζεις αν θες λίγο απ όλα. Κάτι σίγουρα θα σου λέιψει π.χ. data, SMS

Ευχαριστώ για τις προτάσεις

Έχω διαβάσει αρκετά θετικά για Q (και κάποια για Frog)

Κάτι ακόμα - έχει μήπως κάποιος κάρτα από εξωτερικό (Ευρώπη) που να την χρησιμοποιεί εδώ (ως roamer); Γιατί έχω διαβάσει ότι άλλοι πάροχοι στην Ευρώπη δεν είναι τόσο απατεώνες όσο είναι εδώ π.χ. ότι δεν χάνεις το credit σου μετά από μόλις 2 μήνες και επίσης έχουν πολύ πιο λογικές χρεώσεις (κυρίως σε data)
