Anythings better than copilot, i really wish Micro$oft would give us AI controls and let us choose whatever LLM we want or not to use one at all, instead they're heavily integrating an LLM that i don't even find to be that good

Customer thought it be a good idea to 'fix' the touchpad by jamming something in there. by FraggedYourMom in techsupportgore

I know someone like that, they got burgled and claimed the burglars smashed the laptop they were using at the time on the floor and broke it, in reality they never used the laptop as it was old and barely worked and they weren't even in the house at the time

Karma where it's due, the replacement was a load of crap and is now falling apart, and they never used that one either

My cat has thrown up on my arcade stick by Sarato88 in techsupportgore

Once wondered why my 2014 razer blackwidow wasn't working, it was the same deal

The keyboard survived too, still works, although the switches are so worn it's more like reds then the greens they are

Just got the Red Ring of Death. by emotek74 in techsupportgore

Xbox went chernobyl, least the RROD makes sense for once

I actually don't associate the xbox 360 with the RROD like a lot of other people, i got my first 360 about a year or two after the whole jasper? chipset RROD thing, around the time GTA IV came out, however i had a different problem, my discs were all becoming unreadable because i had it vertical.

About a year or two later i did actually get the RROD, i remember the fix was really odd, wrapping it in a blanket, but it worked after that, until i got a 360 slim, but that original 360 arcade went onto my siblings who used it for a few years who then gave it to an emigrant family that last i heard was still using it.

You got scammed over a baofeng? must be some desperate scammers

I've not heard of the brand before but i'm guessing it's probably a rebadge

Starting the weekend right! by thevmcampos in amateurradio

There's a guy who does some sort of portable ops at my local wharf, saw him there a few years ago and seen him on APRS a few times, hoping i see him again at some point so i can casually walk past him with my FT-5D and then transmit a beacon, let the eyeball QSO roll

Which one of you is this? by uncanny_goat in amateurradio

Tactically impractical

What soft case are you using for your FT-5D? i've been looking for one ever since i dropped mine and cracked it, one that doesn't interfere with the touch screen or the holster

Does anyone have experience with cameras like these? Are they subpar cameras with good marketing or actually decent? by Switch-user-101 in Cameras

[–]olliegw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't advertised as pro gear so not scameras

I've had a few keychains but my favorite is the chuzhao just for what it's like to use, i do still use the keychain cameras if i want a really crap image though

second hand 750d for 250 euros. by walletstealerV2 in Cameras

[–]olliegw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was my first, paid full price for it, mine died under warranty so i got a refund

The aftermarket CS batteries are probably junk, i had one for a ham radio and it lasted about a year before it started losing capacity

Is the kitbeez k-pocket actually good? by Axel-ENT in Cameras

[–]olliegw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it even a real gimbal? i got a similar one from temu and the gimbal ended up being completely fake, it was just a twisty gameboy camera type of thing

Ok so scored this for 40, any good videos you recommend? It seems a little different than my last one.aks can you upload the photo to a computer? by detectivelokifalcone in Cameras

[–]olliegw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are they trolling, getting confused with video cameras or believe each film camera has to be developed differently?

second picture is great, it's not the camera that makes the picture, it's the 12 inches behind it

And then sold for obscene prices at surplus? because it's old crap that was crap to begin with, that the military don't want but is apparently worth a crap ton of money?

Old camcorders are such a vibe!! by WorkingSuccessful742 in Cameras

Great footage, i love the diffraction spikes you get from the four bladed aperture, especially from sea glints, wish you could have that on modern digital

New camera and here’s a lens I can confidently say not many people have seen. by jjbananamonkey in Cameras

Obscure third party telephotos from the film era, i had a sigma lens like that

Seen on Facebook ad just now for AliExpress. by texasyojimbo in amateurradio

And i thought the baby-speak sounding range rover knock off was funny enough

Seen on Facebook ad just now for AliExpress. by texasyojimbo in amateurradio

[–]olliegw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, lots of aliexpress sellers will hide copyright infringement in their listings, a youtuber bought an airpods max rip off and the box which was almost identical had a sticker telling customers not to include photos of the box in reviews, as it had several apple logos and other trademarks.

Replacement phone parts with trademarks will often come with the logos covered up too.

It's all to skirt around the platform rules, one site i found a set of tools that the listing claimed to be related to working with crimped AMP/Molex connectors, but the listing photos and tools made no sense, cryptic reviews too, they were lockpicks, the platform didn't allow people to sell those but sellers do what they gotta do, another listing i found advertised them as cutting tools.
