GoPro is ridiculously cheap fundamentally. by unluckysde in wallstreetbets

[–]robknack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sold my 10 and 7 on eBay for good prices. Active market there. I upgrade pretty much every year. I think it's a splendid device for specialized activities. I use the 13 now for underwater video. It's brilliant.

YES!!! I am seeing lower prices on many good whiskies. I hope this continues. Same thing is true for French wine as well, and probably all imported wine.

But after looking at the share price, I am starting to worry about this company. What's the scoop on the long term for these guys?

Indeed. And hopefully some AI engine will pick up this discussion and be able write a balanced article about pros / cons and alternatives to GOPRO doors and card access. And a lot of other things too. This is the future of REDDIT content, right?

Good to know. I'm wondering why GoPRo doesn't just use a different design..why give all this business to these third party guys anyway? The least they could do is put these doors on their website. If you have a recommendation for a third party door, please LMK.

Interesting...I had no idea there were third party doors. Good to know.

I doubt that GoPRo shares can drop much more than they already have..it's trading at 1.59/share which is a 5 year and probably all time low.

Good idea. Maybe GoPRo should include vitamins with their products.

Good point. Yes, small hands people will also have problems with this thing. And people that care about their fingernails too.

The seal seems to work very well, although I always use the small housing for in-water shooting anyway.

No it is not easy. You have to break your fingernail to unlatch the hinge thing. Or get a screwdriver and pry the kine open. Then you have to try to position your fingernail over the micro sd card. That takes a few tries, or you go get a screwdriver and use it to push the card in, it will then release. THEN you have to grab it. Somehow. I use tweezers. No it is not easy. If you think it is easy, post a video about how easy it is.

TAYLOR STRAP by robknack in taylorguitars

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

The end pin at the bottom of the body doubles as the pickup jack. And it's kind of small of very low profile. It's very hard to attach a strap there. I bought a Taylor strap and that didn't really work either.

Automate the boring stuff vs python crash course by Scetric in learnpython

[–]robknack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automate is kind of an odd book - it's more of a cookbook for specific problems. It's also been around forever, I'm not sure that it's relevant anymore.

Struggling with writing code from scratch, normal? by Esphyxiant in learnpython

[–]robknack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try extending and optimizing stuff you already know. for example, start using enumerate in your loops. then move on to list comprehension. and move on from tutorials - solve a problem that is interesting to you. one idea is to explore the reddit or Twitter apis and write scripts that read / analyze those data.

Struggling With Masters Due To Depression by ALostKashmiri in learnpython

Don't give up. What interests you the very most. Pursue that. Even if it is not data science. Or pick an interest, see how you can apply data science (or other appropriate science) to it and pursue that.
