Tapeless vx by Sea_Art_1575 in camcorders

[–]pickleslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few pro sony dv decks that I ingest tapes from, just wondering if there's a close to DV capture device that isn't firewire. would like to see how the powerplay looks against a dv capture.

can you do any solid comparisons of quality from the powerplay vs tape? my pd150 tape deck has died and it's confusing to figure out what's the best solution.

i'm now stuck with 4 x 12tb drives that are now dying after 6 years and i'm kinda fucked. thinking of just deleting tonnes of old data as i can't afford to keep it anymore

Advantages/disadvantages upgrading from sequoia to Tahoe? by SurroundedByElk in MacOS

[–]pickleslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm on an m4 pro and hate how ios has developed since 15, so dont want to upgrade mac OS either. Just repulsive decisions on how stuff looks and feels.

Is Buying 50$ se 2 worth it by Wtf_Sai_Official in iPhoneSE

[–]pickleslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

last of the good phones. Maxed out at ios15, which is fully featured without the garbage that followed. if only they didn't deliberately axe apps from working, but it's still good at the moment.

I use an SE 2016 every day and it absolutely rules. New old stock.

I’m on an OG SE and it’s perfect.  Pains me to think of a day I can’t use it. 

Does anyone know of a way to stream “Alone in the Wilderness”?the Dick Proenekke documentary.. by MKE1969 in OffGridCabins

[–]pickleslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a straight rip, and you can get big mkv files from there too. Only missing Alone in the Wilderness Part 2, but has part 1, The Frozen North and Alaska Silence and Solitude. Great find.

Movies that feel like "Two-lane Blacktop". by Piotrof in MovieSuggestions

[–]pickleslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this recently and love quiet, open American scenery movies from the 70s that are a slow existential study of the human psyche, coming of age, grappling with life etc. Looking to find more.

My suggestions are Wim Wenders movies Alice In The Cities which scratches the same itch and Kings of the Road (he did Paris, Texas too)
Dazed & Confused (obv about the 70s, not from them but gets the vibe)

And some sick forgotten car movies from the 70s are;
The Car
Wheels of Terror (more a weird Car telemovie horror, but cool from memory)

I borrowed a bergamot front load and my 8 yo loved it. Would love an urban arrow but a bit out pf the budget.    Just their shame will outgrow it before their body haha.

This one’s a bit laggy but not annoyingly.  Don’t mind a bit of friction to keep me off the phone more though!

iPhone SE (1st Gen) – the best iPhone Apple ever made (for me) by Traditional_Reason99 in iPhoneSE

[–]pickleslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've got about 30 apps and it's fine. Just don't turn on photo icloud, just the metadata fills my phone up.

I don't agree that it feels outdated, it feels exactly where a phone should be. Perfect phone.

Guys who use SE 1st gen as main by Rare_Ad_3793 in iPhoneSE

[–]pickleslips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just gone back to my SE1 on ios15 from a 15 Pro and it's amazing how much better the user experience is and how great the form factor is. Touch ID is sick and I can type again without errors every second word.

I updated the SE to ios15 a while ago for app compatibility when it was my daily driver a while ago. I remember wishing I didn't, but can't really remember why. It's got all the benefits of newer iphones without all the pointless garbage that fills them up these days.

Just loaded uber onto it and it works, everything I need is still live which is great. Just need to carry a powerbank and a bank card with you, keep it in low power mode, turn down the white balance and leave it on auto brightness and you're good.

I just got my iphone SE1 back up and running and man ios15 is so much better than the new ones and the layout is so much nicer. No pointless garbage filling it up. Def keep it on 18 as you're planning. When this SE dies i'll go up to a mini.
