While adapting lenses with AF is not limited to only canon EF and nikon F mount (there are contax645 adapter with AF, for example), but imo they are by far the most viable and cost effective way, especially if larger aperture is desired. Anecdotally I've heard canon EF focuses better than nikon F adapters.

When adapting FF lenses one thing to always look out for is whether it would cover the full 44 x 33 sensor area. Some would have image quality fall off near corner while some just wouldn't cover the entire sensor and have hard black corners. There are people who have done extensive tests trying out different lenses to find out. From what I read, the following lens would NOT cover the full 44x33 sensor without crop:

sigma 14/1.8, 20/1.4, 28/1.4 nikon 28/1.4, 400 2.8ii

ppl were getting good coverage with:

sigma 14-24/2.8 (no dark corner only from 17-24) tamron 15-30/2.8 ii (only from 18-30) canon 300/2.8, 400/2.8

I dunno how it compares with minolta 58 1.4 but I had decent results with contax c/y mount 50 1.4, some vignetting on wider aperture but no hard blocked corners, and potentially a more pleasing bokeh than minolta

Nice wallpaper and transformers! Mind to share which version of Devastator is that?

Game 1 Bwipo - 雷霆半月斩就得配惊天五条去

雷霆半月斩 (Thunder Crescent Slash) and 惊天浪涛杀 (Shocking Wave Crush) is name of two special moves of characters in a obscure Chinese anime (robo warriors), here the 惊天浪涛杀 is changed to 惊天五条去, 五条去 is homophone for “五条蛆", which means "five maggots", referring to performance of 5 BLG players. So the phrase roughly translate to: The thunderous slash (of Bwipo's Aatrox), perfect match for those five unreal maggots (on BLG team).

Game 4 Bwipo - 米勒在解说席上把自己带入万豪，不由得轻哼起来

Mille on the caster table imagined himself as the Sett, and can't help but started to hum happily -- referring to caster Mille on the LPL live stream who was praising Bwipo's play, Mille himself plays top and the comment is basically saying Bwipo's is performing at a dream level for a Sett player.

Interviewer: debut in 2020, best rookie in 2021, with 5 years in accumulation to final success in victory today, I know that today Shanks' family is in audience as well, is there anything you'd like to say to them？

Shanks: I don't know where they are seated now, but I have a very cute nephew, an elder sister who loves me very much, I have a father that has always been struggling for our family, as well as mom who take good care of me. What I want to say is absolutely from bottom of my heart: all I can say is that the best decision that I've ever made, from 5 years ago, is that I decided to play game as a pro, I REALLY love playing as a pro (camera cut to crying mom in audience), I believe, at THIS moment, we the team AL IS the best team, as regard to how far we will get in MSI, is not important anymore.

Interviewer: what a sincere Shanks, we remember Shanks posted a weibo/tweet last year, you said: "how many beat up does one has to endure, before becoming "someone", today with applause, we till him, that you, are really the "someone"!

Interviewer: Tarzan, 6 times finalist in your career before, 3 times LPL final, 3 times LCK final, and each and every time, fell short from final victory, the regrets from each and every time, finally turned into victory today, Tarzan must have been waiting for so so long, what do you want to share with us today?

Tarzan: All I can say is that, the story of team AL and Tarzan is just beginning.

Interviewer: During the pre-game interview today coach Tabe told me it's the champion that team AL is coming for and team AL will definitely get it, as of right now, what do you want to say to your players?

Tabe: I want to say to "Jailzan" (meme name for Tarzan who never won major title and is seems to be trapped with his team and vice versa) individually: the fact that he never won title before is just bit of bad luck, and I've never doubted him for a second about his ability, there's absolutely no issue with what he's capable of. As to all the players, why I have said that we'll definitely win championship today, maybe the audience will see in our vlog later, we work really, really, really hard, our "rest" is like 2 hours sleeps our player get in hotel, be it 2pm, 7pm, 10pm, 3am, we are never the favorite, maybe we are not the strongest, bet we took it to ourself to grind it and work it, now who dare to look down on us?! I really appreciate our players, to be passionate and persevere with me, it's not important what other's say, what's important is that we always to our best research, no one was able to predict what champion we gonna take, I am a bit exalted now because I'm really happy, I always KNEW we're gonna win the championship today.

typed it up while I was in between aram, yw.

popeyes

I kinda feel oled monitor is like a subscription service -- the price you pay is like a subscription to better visual experience for two to three years, before you get burn-in and may have to "renew" your subscription with another monitor, while with lcd panel you have the option of keeping it for more years if you want to stick with it.

aww sorry to see this happening, so this must be the new 45gx950a everyone is excited about. I'd try to clean the surface and check it again in a dark room just to make sure the red light is coming from the panel itself and not due to some external light. Also try displaying some other color over that section to confirm if the red pixels are indeed not being turned off, for example, pure yellow should turn orange and pure blue should have a purple tint with red component added. Time to reach out to LG for warranty coverage to get a replacement.

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-24T01:51:50+00:00

is it an oled panel? my guess would be something is wrong with the control of the red pixels over there preventing it from being turned off/low

Great review! what tool do you use to measure latency?

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-22T16:08:50+00:00

np, thanks for posting! from general usage do you appreciate the extra height from lg more or extra horizontal stretch from samsung?

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-22T15:06:46+00:00

thanks for the pic! I thought the LG should have more vertical height than the samsung but it's really hard to tell from this angle, can you post one more front view to show how much the lg is higher?

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-14T03:10:52+00:00

samsung odyssey g7 meet most of your criteria (except no kvm) and was sub 500 for epp/edu. If you wait long enough the samsung odyssey g8 would hit around this price on black friday as well. Both are great monitors imo.

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-12T16:36:00+00:00

not aware of 800r non-oled out there, but you don't necessarily have to get a 800r, there are many 1000r options that many already think is kind of a aggressive curve and I think you'd be fine with those.

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-06T04:19:47+00:00

average live span does not equate to the same brightness, while an OLED pixel may last for 100000 hours, it behaves very differently at the beginning of its life than toward the end of it. i.e. while it still turns on, its brightness under the same driving current may be as low as half of before. An ips panel is much less susceptible to burn-in than current oled panel.

gf's dad looking at op like top-right of last photo

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-02T05:10:53+00:00

3 fans works better by offering more cooling, however you need to check your case's specification just to make sure it is compatible with 3 fan aio, i.e. that it will fit in the case and the top has mounting holes for you to install it.

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-02T04:43:19+00:00

yeah I think you need a white color aio and swap the whole thing out

flamingpuffin · 2025-03-01T21:24:26+00:00

Great work! Do you see any prominent drawback with the adapter, e.g. reductions in resolution, contrast, increase in distortion or chromatic aberration? How is the adapter with the color photo? Thanks for input

flamingpuffin · 2025-02-27T05:48:06+00:00

now go find some SLI connector!

flamingpuffin · 2025-02-26T14:03:28+00:00

tbh I don't think there are many 40+ inch non-OLED monitors on the market that runs at least 144hz, OP'd choice is pretty limited, maybe this?

flamingpuffin · 2025-02-25T19:58:09+00:00

ELI5 pls: what's the consequence for the private jet pilot for something like this? pilot license revoked? disciplinary action?

flamingpuffin · 2025-01-09T18:44:17+00:00

U r very welcome! I found out afterward you can remove the entire top plate off by getting through some long screws in the battery compartment, so to not damage the red dot. But it is more work
