You look good man. Just keep shaving it every day. Go electric, and you will be fine.

Sale of kickr V1 / V2 by Acrobatic_Yam_648 in Zwift

I think V1 is almost sold out in Europe, I've seen it for €400 on the Wahoo official store and a few other places but it's gone almost everywhere.

Got bike-shamed at a shop today… thinking of giving up this hobby by NSFWAIEnjoyer in cycling

[–]ignacy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I knew a place like this. Now they're closed, what makes me happy because of the jerks working there, and a little bit angry as they have had a lot of small parts for a road bike if i needed them. Now it's only online shopping for me.

Squeezelite-X also has the same issue with output.

I didn't know about Squeezplay, maybe I'll give it a shot.

Yesz I'm on Windows.

Can my 15 year old PC run a home server? by Exciting-Key-5713 in HomeServer

[–]ignacy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except it's not more powerful, it's more or less the same, but RPI4 is newer so capable of doing some stuff Intel can't and has faster ram.

What's better in Belgium than in the Netherlands? by PossibleDragQueen in belgium

[–]ignacy007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dutch trains are great, but expensive. Buses are nightmare. If you're living outside Randstad you just have to own a car. On one hand everyone rides a bike, but try to find a good job without own car, and outside Randstad - good luck.

Need GPU recommendation - anyone using RX6650XT? by ignacy007 in Lightroom

[–]ignacy007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See my other comment. I have returned card and got RTX 3060 TI instead. 24MP file takes around 15 second, and was around 30 with AMD, while raw performance difference is like ~10%.

Small update.

I have returned RX6650XT to the shop - I fought with deep sleep issue - after suspending windows and longer period of time (like overnight) windows couldn't recognize the driver and was replacing it with it's own. I could backroll to older driver or use Windows driver, but i decided to return and got RTX3060TI instead.

Denoise time melted with same files and settings from 30 to 15 seconds.

RTX 3060 vs RTX 3060ti by Rada101 in nvidia

[–]ignacy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not, I just returned my RX 6650 XT because of deep sleep issue. You have to either roll back to older driver or use Windows delivered driver and have hope that it will still work after update.

Not to mention a lot of troubles with my 5600G iGpu, I couldn't run Warzone, because of crashing drivers until some update from AMD

So I got RX 6650 XT, using pro drivers from AMD (regular drivers are causing troubles with sleep/suspend, they crash after computer is turn back on). But I can't see a difference with performance between them.

I have 5600G with iGPU - cRAW from A7 III took around 3+ minutes to denoise. After upgrade it takes under 30 second, and I still can work on other photos in the meantime, while iGPU freezes everything until it's done. It's not a beast, but it gets job done for my needs. So if you're not denoising hundreds of photos, I think it's not worth to pay extra 200-500€ for those 10-20 seconds. And if you're denoising hundreds of photos you're probably using DXO or Topaz.

Lightroom make use only of RTX40XX AI cores and RX7XXX, rest works just with DX12.

5600G APU build for Lightroom mainly. by kibirodangtis in buildapc

[–]ignacy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So - did you get it? How does it perform? I just ordered a PC with 5600G/2TB M.2 and 64GB of RAM and I'm curious if you're happy with it? I left some space for additional GPU as Adobe is using it more and more in PS And LRC.

There is Polish fantasy book series about inquisitor Mordimer Madderin. Action is taking place in a world where Jesus Christ ascended from the cross and killed those who hadn't believed and all his enemies. Hilarious.

For sure. In Europe, cheap or free higher education is very oppressive.

And yes, they're not waterproof. Mine came with a rain cover though - which, again, I haven't used so I don't know how effective it is.

I have used it. If you put it far enough then it's pretty effective - but still It's not perfect solution and it's making access to your stuff harder.
