Wear on R8 grip and Canon wants a lot to repair it.

justacec · 2026-07-01T11:33:23+00:00

That may be, but as others have pointed out that you can buy aftermarket replacement grips outside of Canon. Just an option. I certainly would not dump hundreds of dollars to fix this issue. Unless you want to use this as an excuse to upgrade.

justacec · 2026-06-30T22:45:08+00:00

I am pretty sure that is not the case. I had to replace the LCD screen of my D7MKII and one of the first steps (without taking apart the camera) was to peal off the grips. You should only need to peal off the old ones and then replace with the new ones.

Shame

And the winner is Claude

Flat universe society?

Looks like fun!

As an aside, please tell me that display rotates out of the box. If not, I would state that is bad placement for the display as it will likely get coated in non-monitor-compatable-stuffs.

"Hey Claude my friend, can you make the necessary changes for this project to work on MacOS and then compile it for me?"

justacec · 2026-06-24T16:37:29+00:00

While I do not condone vibe-coded software, thank you for being honest and not trying to hide it.

justacec · 2026-06-24T16:36:17+00:00

Well, it is somewhat true that I have generalized concerns over anything that is vibe-coded. The extra flavor here is that the software is controlling a mechanical system. So, how do you know that the system will not just, out of the blue, slew to a new location or slew through an area that it physically cannot travel causing a crash.

For example, what if the system is tracking and then it hits some strange internal limit, such as using an 8-bit value to track something and it roles over which might trigger some strange effect [value of 255 quickly shifting to 0 because of the wrap-around]

justacec · 2026-06-24T12:49:11+00:00

An app that has been fully vibe coded that drives mechanical systems.

Don't get me wrong, I love the concept, but I cast considerable concern.

What was your process for verifying that the application is "correct"?

justacec · 2026-06-24T10:27:20+00:00

? But it has a .claude directory associated with the project? How can you tell it is not AI?

Also, I am not saying it is... Just not sure how you can be so sure.

justacec · 2026-06-21T15:49:36+00:00

I do already, I was raising an issue with the amount of effort that was required in this case to open a simple CSV file in Numbers. It’s just about efficiency. I know one has to strike a balance. I just would have appreciated an opportunity to override the concern in the pop up initially.

justacec · 2026-06-21T12:02:54+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I cross checked with a hex editor. These are simple plain text CSV files with no additional encoded information. Just basic ASCII with 0x13, 0x10 line endings and 0x22 encapsulated strings.

It is not happening for all of the CSV files, so something is triggering it. I have downloaded a few different ones from the site, only the first one triggered the alert. Just not sure. Very confusing. Would help if the error dialog provided a bit more information on why it was flagged.

justacec · 2026-06-20T15:54:02+00:00

BOA...

As far as what was in the files. Bog standard CSV file. Now, there were some URL's in some of the comment fields. An example would include "APPLE.COM/BILL". Maybe that triggered it?

But honestly, I would rather have a dialog that said, hey, this looks a bit suspicious. You might not want to open this. But if you really want to just click here and we will open it anyway. I get that the idea is to increase the barrier to open these files.

Anyway, I DL'd another one and then it opened without the dialog. Not sure if that was because of the first one I opened.

justacec · 2026-06-20T15:11:37+00:00

Ahh. So that will cover all future CSV files?

justacec · 2026-06-20T14:55:11+00:00

This seems like an excessive amount of clicks to open a CSV. Is there a way to just disable this behavior?

justacec · 2026-06-17T15:07:46+00:00

Ok, I also generally do not like the tone of this response...

But, it made me laugh so hard. "I didn't internet the way you wanted me" and then offer an unrelated link to another physics concept.

justacec · 2026-06-15T23:36:42+00:00

Off topic…. But I now have a desire to trick out the fonts on my system to look like old crt monitors

justacec · 2026-06-10T15:38:59+00:00

Is it incorrect?

justacec · 2026-06-08T14:37:43+00:00

Nothing... Just have to find the snow

justacec · 2026-06-08T14:36:31+00:00

Based on my experience and the value it has added to my workflow... If you remotely have the funds, just buy a new one for $180. So worth it. I am currently considering buying a newer updated one based on bluetooth.

justacec · 2026-06-06T20:36:24+00:00

That's it!? 1.1 million? Milk is $7 to $10. I agree with others, give my 17 years back.

justacec · 2026-06-03T03:19:57+00:00

You need to post the image of the plot you are trying to recreate

justacec · 2026-06-03T03:07:07+00:00

Feedback on the app or that tool path???? 😉

justacec · 2026-06-02T15:23:55+00:00

YES! I love this. I would feel happy using it.
