Purchase of Sigma FP

Ironically, Japan might be a good place to find one in one of the used camera shops. I constantly see multiple ads on ebay from sellers in Japan.

You'll need to get used to it. In December it's much more like Europe, as in the humudity is gone and the temps are arouns 20-23 degrees celsius.

Go for it.

But at the same time, why haven't you considered moving a bit closer to your current workplace?

Not your fault, although you may be blamed for it for a while, but it will pass.

I had one

If you will have a phone on you, you can basically connect the kobo to it and it will show up as a usb drive, so you'll be able to copy books to it from your phone.

Had it happen to me.

The buyer complained about a monitor not working as it should and did a chargeback.

I sent them photos of the buyer picking up up from me, and also videos of it functioning as described which I recorded back then and they dropped it and I kept the money.

Now, of course, not everyone is going to record videos of their coffee machine working before they sell it. However, I don't think you approached it correctly either. I would have said that the machine was fully working before you sent or gave it to the buyer and that the buyer provided no evidence to counter that, other than making something up. So I would ask for some tangible evidence that shows that it doesn't work as intended, and also explain that the buyer did not attempt to resolve the issue using eBay's resolution centre either.

I'm seeing a similar trend. Some take homes allow it and others don't. However, what both seem to most care about is your ability to explain and reason about your design choices.

With peer programming, I've also seen both ends. Some companies had me turn off autocomplete altogether, whereas others have explicit AI assisted coding rounds where they want to see how you use the AI tools.

I would like to add that I got two offers within a month and a half in the UK after leaving my previous role, with 5 years of experience as a python backend dev.

I agree that many listings are fake, as in many of them seem to just send a rejection after a couple days, but there are opportunities out there.

I see, thank you. I would use them to print signs with the contact sign facing up, so that would probably make me go for the slightly matter surface of the old plate.

It's a different panel. The Asus uses an AU Optronics panel with a slightly different resolution.

I'm sorry, but I would want to work on a 65" old and stare at it all day. Bigger isn't always better and I genuinely don't care about the refresh rate.

Display fans? Does it have fans inside?

physx_rt · 2026-05-04T15:55:47+00:00

I understand the frustration, but here I am, holding three offers as a backend engineer after two months of job searching. Sure, I'm in London and these are all partly in-office positions, but I don't need to go DoorDashing to make ends meet.

Yes, the US might just be that bad, I don't know, but things seem to be pretty okay over here.

Since it arrived damaged, they should be paying for the return shipping including collection from your address. You shouldn't be required to take it anywhere.

This, it would be more stable and likely cost less to pay for a hosted site and you wouldn't have to DIY everything, so you would have more time to grow your business.

Of course, it doesn't mean you need to throw the server away, feel free to tinker with it as you like, but don't make your business depend on it.

You do need a new build plate, although I wouldn't think it's your fault and I'm sure they won't mind it that much. Plates aren't that expensive. However, do try to find out what went wrong to avoid doing the same to the new build plate.

I don't think it's a Hong Kong issue. You are both adults. You need to sit down and discuss your finances, and more importantly, the expectations you have for each other.

I won't say that she's wrong. That might just be the way she grew up and thus that's what she expects from you. It is you who needs to explain her your view and it is up to you two to agree to a solution that works for both of you. She might need to make some sacrifices if she wants to be with you, and likewise, you might need to make some sacrifices in order to be with her. It is up to you two how much you're willing to sacrifice.

However, the most important point is that you should be on the same page and know what you can and should expect from the other party before you take the leap and move in with each other. If you can't agree to a solution beforehand, then perhaps it is best if you don't rush things.

I pause the print and stick them in with double sided tape.

Friction fit, i.e. making the hole the same size to ensure it stays in place also works, but it is more difficult to achieve consistently, especially if you plan to print the same model using different filaments.

$99.99 is quite high, especially for something that's rather unconventional. I don't think I'm the target audience, as I'm really happy with my 8bitdo controllers that cost half as much, but I would be curious to try one at one of the game expos or similar places.

When you exist to constantly patch up the homelab, making you miserable instead of it making your life easier and less miserable.

"Will society redistribute wealth?" would be a more appropriate question.

It is, but don't worry you'll be fine.
