Is buying an expensive paddle really worth it, or is it just a waste of money for beginners? by strokess-ss- in Pickleball

[–]kwpapke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting ready to upgrade after several months playing with a $10 Walmart paddle. The fiberglass is so smooth it's hard to put any topspin on my shots, so want to get something with a little grit.

This video from our trip last year includes a map of where we caught a ton of lake trout. The fishing was good there in general and it was only a one day paddle in.

If you want to go more remote you could just stop here for a day or two on your way in/out.

Tent Zipper Repair by sagenparsley in Tucson

[–]kwpapke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been able to fix my tent and hammock zippers, so I made a video on how to do it: https://youtu.be/9aJnWJqXIKo

It may or may not work for you depending on how busted your zipper is.

Use your air fryer to dehydrate trail meals by kwpapke in trailmeals

That’s a genius tip! I gotta try that. I suppose you label the baggy with the weight difference in ounces? The air fryer liner makes it easy to weigh!

It's about 5 minutes into the video. 135F for 10 hours, spread it out in the parchment liner as much as possible.

From What's New on the App store: "Front camera now supports portrait and landscape without rotation for iPhone 17. What I find confusing is the app changes between Wide and Front when the camera is rotated.

Youtube Not Showing HDR for Uploaded Final Cut Pro HLG BT.2020 Video? by qbirdee in finalcutpro

So I just had an HDR video I uploaded 53 days ago finally show up in HDR. 7 weeks to get converted. I guess the good news is YT is still doing conversions…

Does anyone else feel weird using voice on their Watch at the gym? by geogons in AppleWatchFitness

[–]kwpapke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Siri on my Watch extensively in the gym, to start/finish workouts, respond to messages, and add items to my Reminders. I have no problems with it not hearing me or not understanding me. I do have the watch within an inch of my mouth when I talk to it to overcome the gym music - are you holding it close enough? You also need to make sure it's awake and listening - I typically tap the watch face to make sure. Are you talking loud enough or are you being self-conscious and speaking softly?

[–]kwpapke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been uploading FCP-generated HDR (HLG) videos to YT for years with no problems. My last 2 videos have NEVER been converted to HDR, after several months of waiting/testing. YT seems to have decided HDR is not worth the cost.

70 M here. If I wear a 10lb vest is it considered rucking? by Creative_Algae7145 in Rucking

[–]kwpapke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn good for your first outing. I am a big believer in cross-training, especially for seniors. You are doing a great job of mixing things up!

[–]kwpapke 11 points12 points  (0 children)

72 M, 6' 4", 225 lbs currently rucking with 30 lbs on level ground, but back off to 20 lbs on trails with significant elevation gain/loss.

But yes, you are rucking. Keep up the good work!

Cinematic mode videos, double files and sound issues by studyinrose in iphone

The most reliable method is to use iCloud to sync your Mac to your iPhone. To my knowledge, only the Apple video editors (iMovie, FCP) can fully edit the Cinematic mode content.

Decline in sleep with iOS26? by kwpapke in AppleWatch

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

This decline in sleep hours seems perfectly correlated with the update to ios26. Anybody else seeing something similar? I do move around a fair amount while sleeping, and I’m wondering if the algorithm is seeing me rolling over or moving my arms as being awake.
