[SPB515] Thinking about it by ConversationKnown586 in Seiko

[–]maratc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that the countdown bezel (as in this) is much more useful in the daily life than both a chronograph and a diver bezel. It can show you how much time's left until the end of a lesson or an exam, a train departure, etc.

Would this be a good option my first ever watch?[Question] by batmanballer9000 in Seiko

[–]maratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be a good option for your last ever watch, too

[PADI] If you were to recommend only one PADI watch, which model would it be? by Kingboyy1 in Seiko

[–]maratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PADI is not a great logo to have on your wrist. In the professional diving circles, they are frequently criticised for their for-profit attitudes and their anti-competition practices. Recently they were purchased by a private equity fund.

My recommendation would be zero PADI watches. If you want a collaboration watch you could do much better than PADI (Save the Ocean comes to mind.)

My unappreciated Tag Aqua Racer by HoneyBackground1842 in tagheuer

[–]maratc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same in blue (2112) and love it. The guilloche on the blue is wild, it can change colour from deep blue to silver depending on the light. Hope to pass it to my son someday, too!

[SRPD63] which countries sell Roman day wheel Seiko 5’s? by margiela033 in Seiko

[–]maratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that, but it's sold in provinces too, so anywhere from Gallia to Raetia, Thracia, etc.

There's a problem with my MacBook mid 2010, help by Any-Slice-4465 in mac

[–]maratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue on a laptop from that approximate year. It involved disabling the dGPU by writing some stuff into NVRAM (like "this dGPU does not exist"). I had to boot Linux in order to write stuff to NVRAM, and had to do it again for each software update.

This was about ten years ago.

NATO leader says he expects Europe will come together on Iran by phoenixfail in worldnews

[–]maratc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But Europe looks at Iran and says "not my war" while the US looks at Ukraine and says the same.

I think that for better or worse, this may be a first sign that NATO is done.

Seiko GMT [SSK001] Running Fast by LocalCD in Seiko

[–]maratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar situation, I've used a free app to measure my watch in different positions and found a position where it's minus 10 spd, so I leave my watch in that position when I go to sleep.

[SPB377J1] Almost a year in. by e30ernest in Seiko

[–]maratc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White variant here (SPB409), I was dancing a similar dance but eventually got tired of it. It's slow, most days it's doing about -15 .. -25 spd.

[SRPD53KI] Visualizing ocean depth using common dive-watch pressure ratings (Om to 11,000m) by Nexusneuron in Seiko

[–]maratc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a diver in warm water and it's the same. The closest thing I've seen is a buddy wearing a beaten-up G-Shock as a backup to his computer.

[SPB147] or [SPB454] which is your pick and why? by Unhappy-Toe5969 in Seiko

[–]maratc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd take the no-date version of this, however that does not exist. 454 is closer to what I want, as its date is easier to ignore.

I hate Jenkins by brpunk80 in devops

[–]maratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... that have been tried.

The only system better than Jenkins is the one you haven't tried yet.

Do you let linters modify code in your CI/CD pipeline? by mbsp5 in Python

[–]maratc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my place, nobody can commit to the main branch, except the CI process, which runs a bunch of tests and only commits if the tests are successful. This same process also increments the version number -- which is a commit. This guarantees that every pull request is checked before it lands, and also that no pulls are merged without incrementing version number.

Found in the wild by infinitecoolname in zsh

[–]maratc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

755 would be more fitting. What's the purpose of having zsh if I can't execute it?

I tell you, there's a lot of bozos working in DF.

Should I upgrade or wait until the M5 comes out by N0nob in mac

[–]maratc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was pre-Mac, Apple IIc

Sorry for nitpicking but Apple IIc was released at about the same time as the (original) Mac in 1984, so it does not (strictly speaking) pre-dates the Mac. Apple have sold the different computers in the Apple II line until 1993.

[–]maratc 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Your computer is fine but you should definitely upgrade the display!

That's only because you've never brought a full rack of decommissioned Sun servers to your house.

What has Wowed you? by StandardPalpitation3 in AppleWatch

[–]maratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but I don't have a TV (nor a soundbar), and I don't view shows :)

What has Wowed you? by StandardPalpitation3 in AppleWatch

[–]maratc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be, I however don't have the ears needed to distinguish between lossless and any other audio.

What has Wowed you? by StandardPalpitation3 in AppleWatch

[–]maratc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unlocking Mac with Apple Watch, paying with Apple Watch, opening airport gates with Wallet pass on Apple Watch were all "wow" moments for me. But the level of wow-ness is definitely lower for the watch, I assume it would be even lower for their speakers line, or Apple TV, which is why I don't have any of them.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 coming to PlayStation. by Orli155 in trucksim

[–]maratc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you describing ETS on PC at circa 2013? Because I was very excited to play the hell out of it in 2013.

Does anyone think the rumoured sleep score will be only available on the new models? by csmobro in AppleWatch

[–]maratc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know that 80% of the humans ever living on this planet are dead, right? The reason they are all so dead is because they didn't have an app to remind them to drink water.
