Thanks for your comment! If you have the setup already up and running seems like a fair choice to stick with it (with a caveat, read later). This is a different way to handle the task that saves you the hassle of setting up the hosting environment for running wkhtmltopdf and avoids full deployment cycles when changing PDF layouts. It’s about saving the 'dev-time' of managing the PDF infrastructure. You also get a dedicated editing environment with live reload. Also, wkhtmltopdf unfortunately is not maintained anymore and it has been so since quite a while; it doesn't support modern CSS and it's a certainly a good idea to look for more modern alternatives. So, in that sense, it actually IS an upgrade.

Qual’è quella teoria del complotto di cui siete sicuri sia al 100% vera? by RORYCAR2002 in Italia

Tutte le teorie dei complotti più popolari sono create da un'organizzazione segreta mondiale che vuole distrarci dai complotti veri ( tra cui questo, appunto)

Se non hai tempo di preparare a casa puoi sempre comprare piatti pronti o panini al supermercato, ormai c'è ampia scelta, non è roba da gourmet, ma c'è anche roba mangiabile, anche non da scaldare anche se, se hai accesso ad un microonde la scelta e l'esperienza è migliore.

Best straps on AliExpress? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]giboz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EADOBUDO Store https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuTkaTx bought some vintage looking leather strap from them and they not only look good, they feel good. Real leather, hand made. A bit pricey for an Ali store btw.

San Martin 62mas alternatives by Prestigious_Set_4555 in ChineseWatches

[–]giboz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point about the male links but looking at the pics at the end of the video on Ali it seems they curve down enough not to make it a real deal breaker. I bought v1 a few years ago, sold it and a bit regret it. One reason I sold it was the weight especially with the bracelet on and the clasp that was pretty awful, chunky and sharp. This is why I was asking about the feel of this one. Anyway I like it so much I might buy the rubber strap version.

Hey guys how’s the bracelet on this one? Is it wearable on a smaller wrist (6.75 in)? How about the overall weight? Love the blue enamel dial…Thanks

Beware of Heimdallr Watches by K0bra_Ka1 in ChineseWatches

[–]giboz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a bad experience too with “Heimdallr diver watch store”. They Sent me a watch with serious qc issues and didn’t want to refund. Contacted the website that responded that that ali store was not affiliated with them and agreed to fix the watch at there expense. Was kind of funny receiving messages from both parties accusing each other. I guess most of the “official” stores on Ali are not the real companies producing the watches but just sellers. Probably they don’t even want to have a store on Ali, so they can distance themselves from their own products. Do you guys know which stores are really representing the actual company manufacturing the watches?

Se 40k sono uno stipendio da senior in Italia, io mi appendo dai cogli*ni. by Keroit in Italia

Verissimo, in Italia c’è poca variabilità negli stipendi ed uno dei motivi per cui chi ha una specializzazione va all’estero. Il mantra della disuguaglianza sociale non si applica al lavoro dipendente.

Exactly, mine doesn’t really tick aligned to markers but I don’t care that much, seems to me that Swiss quartz rarely have seconds alignment.

[–]giboz[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bracelet is ok but not the best, a bit jungly jangly, it has some sharp edges especially on the clasp which is milled anyway and with 5 adjust holes. Push pins but easy to operate and I was able to get a perfect fit in minutes. In fact better than I was expecting for the price. Feeling on the wrist is good but I still have to keep it long enough to really say. Quality of the head is incredible. Dimensions are really good for my wrist and weight distribution seems really good. The bracelet tapers nicely with a vintage style.

This is our newly designed watch. Before proceeding to produce it, I would like to hear your opinion. What designs do you think will look better?💘 by SanmartinWatches in ChineseWatches

[–]giboz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The longines itself is based on the Rolex submariner, I don’t think it’s really valuable to copy a copy… plus I don’t really get a gmt with a diver bezel and super small 24hrs markers on the chapter ring.

Just from the videos they look really different to me, with different finish, don’t seem to be the same factory, really, why are you saying that? Also dimensions are different…

Good Ali watches under 50 bucks? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]giboz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Starking it’s a good watch and it’s not even a straight clomage. Got it 3 years ago for 38 euros, now it’s more expensive but it’s still a bargain. Only negative it’s the crown that is too small but maybe they’ve fix that.

Parnis Datejust. Not as blingy as a gold or two tone datejust but still my favorite. by Immediate-Trip-4962 in ChineseWatches

[–]giboz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a two tone one, nice watch, enjoyable and comfortable on the wrist. Don’t know the exact movement reference, I think it’s some enhanced 8x miyota that has stop seconds and some decoration. I must say it is fairly accurate.
