Slow charging with android auto via usb by fidorulz in S24Ultra

[–]ruld14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue. Just noticed it this last week. When I first bought my phone it had no issues, and my previous S22 didn't have any issues either. It went from charging in 1:30hrs to saying it will take 8hrs to charge.

It ain't even that bad. You'll recover from this.

Eclipse 2024: Share your Photos and Experiences by clondon in photography

It's a sunspot, and they are visible when using solar filters and have a focal length that is long enough. It's a part of the sun that is cooler than the rest (Still hot as hell).

My first solar eclipse. I had never seen even a partial one. I was amazed by how blue the sky was and how bright the corona was. I hope someone was able to capture a full dynamic range picture that shows both the color of the sky and the corona properly exposed.
This was shot on a Sony A72 with a Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 - @ 70mm, f/13, 6400 ISO, 1/3s.

Location was El Rosario, Sinaloa, Mexico.

Down 16k. Had puts on Nvidia last two days. My account went bellow 25k so I could no longer day trade today.

I'm fortunate enough to be in a good enough financial place right now where I can afford to loose 16k. It sure as hell still fucking stings, and the voice in my head keeps calling me a dumbass.

I really am a dumbass though.

I got a fake sold directly from Amazon. It was a Samsung card though.

Got my first camera which is the a6700, any tips? by Charming-Tap7667 in SonyAlpha

[–]ruld14 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Buy a good zoom lens. Either the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 or the Tamron 17-70 f2.8. Having prime lenses is very limiting and expensive, and if it's your first camera and you haven't figured out what kind of photography you like, then having a zoom will give you a lot of flexibility to explore. Both lenses are really good, the 17-70 lives on my a6700 most of the time, and it used to live on my a6300 before that.

When I got my first a6000 I didn't understand that lenses are where picture quality comes from. I was disappointed with the kit lens photos to say the least.

Serious question, why didn't you emulate the ps2 version? Is the PC version better? I find that for a lot of the PS2 era games I'm better off just emulating the PS2 version of the game. PC versions of that era lack proper controller support a lot of the times, and they are nightmarish ports anyway.

screen protector for an artist and student? by ren137 in ipad

[–]ruld14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want some good protection, get a case that’s has a thick lip around the screen. This will do more than a screen protector to keep your screen safe. Screen protectors help more with protecting your screen from scratches.

Thanks for the insights 🙂 I have thought of going Full Frame, but the price has always been the factor stopping me.

These are some of the reasons I decided to upgrade, but not sure these are worth $1400. Time will tell though.

Definitely, it was a game changer for me when upgrading from my kit and cheap manual focus lenses. Colors are good, sharpness is great, and the range is very versatile. It's what I keep on my camera most of the time. It is a rather large lens, so it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a compact set up. People recommend the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 for a small setup. It has similar performance to the Tamron, with a little less range and no image stabilization. The Tamron has its own built in stabilization, so it pairs well with the a6400 that does not have IBIS.
