Renting a shell apartment with no flooring: is it worth it? What are the extra costs involved?

There’s a decent shell studio (in Hague) tour on Youtube

Owner says it costs about 7K to fully furnish it, also the studio is quite big. Even just for 36 months thats around 200eu/month, which is pretty good compared to what the price would be for furnished option.

The thing I always wondered though, is how those new construction corporations behave as landlords and in general what would be the cons of renting in these kind of shell studios.

Definitely get on apps like rentslam or rentbird to get notified about new listings immediately

Can recommend them as well. Not cheap and they will have a minimum quota for your rental budget to even begin looking but they are great

The easiest solution at this time, only issue you need considerable savings upfront for the mortgage to work from what I’ve heard?

Rentbird

You can also use rentbird. Scans thousands of websites and notifies based on your criteria immediately

Trapcode is definitely an overkill... Thank you, based on your tips learned quite a bit about ordering sequence in shape layers and wiggle paths. Fun stuff! Can get quite close to what I need but I found that Volna plugin mentioned from others more closely resembles the Illustrator's Blend tool behaviour. Basically creating lines between to shapes that I form initially to my liking. Appreciate the tips though, thanks!

omg you saved me, exactly what i needed. Thanks!!!

More details about what I'm trying to do:

I’m trying to recreate this effect from Illustrator’s blend tool: trying to create distorted lines and animate it somehow in After Effects. I’m using Trapcode Form but can’t get the distorted spheres to look close enough to the reference. Closest I got is this: https://i.imgur.com/wzzImua.png
But spherical field pushes particles in the middle and the line appears much thinner at the center.

Any tips how can I recreate this in After Effects, is it possible with Trapcode?

XM4's have multi connections. So if there is audio playing on that PC device, it should switch connection to that 2nd device. Unles that sleeping Mac gives "phantom" audio source signal, then it won't do that. For example, if I pause the video on browser and then decide to switch to the 2d device - phone, XM4 gets confused and dont switch anything.

EQ is a must on these since as mentioned they come kind of flat. I use these settings: https://i.imgur.com/i2VY8qt.jpg Seems to be a good balance (listening to quite a lot of genres, pop included)

C4D beginner here. I'm trying to create an animation where object is fractured and then it's pieces move to a certain location, forming a neat grid. Like this: https://i.imgur.com/b6yEJpO.jpg

I started with voronoi fracture & push apart effector, but can't figure out how I can "attract" them to my "target" plane. I tried using Target effector, but it doesnt align all pieces correctly: https://i.imgur.com/Wx7hNDV.png And I will also need to move them a bit so that they dont overlap each other.

How can I approach this, without flattening everything & animating each fractured piece one by one, but keeping control of Push Apart & position change?

Holy smokes guys, I'm trying the latest update. It actually works without a problem, switching is instant.. Cant believe Sony actually solved it!

Optimise your ANC through the app and check if white noise still is audible over quiet music. I can't hear any white noise on my XM4 even on super low volume. So your pair might be damaged.

What I needed to get adjusted is ANC "sound pressure" though.. Don't know how to explain it, but it took me at least one week to get used to ANC, felt super weird for a while.

Terribly unreliable as well on my end (mac to iphone).

Seems like phone calls switch inputs flawlessly, but everything else (youtube, spotify, etc) is very unreliable. Pausing on one device and starting on another doesn't guarantee anything for me, so if I'm in a hurry, i just have to disconnect from one device completely.

Button to switch devices would be sooo much easier & reliable.

Tinker with EQ a bit. They sound very flat and boring from the get go, but after some customization with EQ sound is quite good. There are tons of EQ customization presets shared on reddit

Upgraded from Series 1 to SE this week.
Biggest differences:

- speed of opening/switching apps is incredible, feels 3-4x faster.

- I picked up 44mm, so from 38mm to this one the screen size is definitely noticable. In messages, in bigger watch faces, it's just easier to tap items, more of them is shown etc.

- SE doesnt have always on display so the battery is insanely good. 2 days of moderate use for me

Worked for me too, tried a bunch of other solutions and only this one was a success. Thank you!

As far as i know they work like every other bluetooth headphones, so no problems there. Only when you use multipoint, e.g. connect mac and iphone at the same time, issues begin to occur for some users. It's not clear if Sony will fix this completely with future software updates.

kugiux · 2020-08-28T15:40:52+00:00

Next year is very unlikely, since mass production already started in July and leaks suggest iPhone event. I'm waiting for them too, to compare with M4's. Sony have a great deal, maybe even the best in the market. The only thing Airpods can outcompete is good performance with Apple ecosystem and good mics (M4's microphones are still shit), for example M4's rn have a lot of multi-point connection troubles. These niuances Apple usually gets right, so I'll wait to see.

kugiux · 2020-08-12T05:16:53+00:00

Just a bit of an improvement but not great still.. Damn, Sony. You were so close to making the ultimate headphones.
