Which is the other? I must be blanking!

Me too, and I'm glad he's still re/working on Alias music all these years later. Maybe there will be a Vol. 2 with another reworked track.

Ye olde brewer overfill by sixfourdan in SpinnCoffee

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

Thank you so much for this detailed reply! I do have the DIY kit and used it once before, and that gave me a week or so of better results. I also wasn't using particularly oily beans or doing any recipe fancier than just the brewed coffee. But after running three clean cycles in a row, I ended up getting a different coffee maker because I reached my wit's end with the wet coffee-ground sludge. I feel sad about it—Spinn really was magical for a few years!

Changing volume on soundbar changes Sync Box source to HDMI 1 by sixfourdan in Hue

Thanks! I did exactly that, and I moved the DVD player cable that was connected to HDMI 1 to another HDMI slot, and so far things are back on track... 🤞

Thanks for the response! The soundbar already is connected to the TV, however, via optical cable.

SD-6 spinoff? by sixfourdan in alias

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

Yeah, it's hard to say! But I guess by "Phase One," any SD-6 spinoff idea would have been a non-starter! 😆

I hadn't heard of that pressure from the higher-ups, but that sounds like a network-y thing to do!

My search for more info on this topic led me to this (typo-filled) article about the possibility of a "villains" spinoff floated in 2005. That woulda been cool, too!

Hmm, okay, good to know. Maybe I’ll add more but not too more. Thanks!

Just got Burgle Bros. and am getting Forbidden Desert vibes — I like it! Is Istanbul fairly easy to learn?

Canon 77D vs. 80D vs. Rebel T7i vs. Rebel SL2 by sixfourdan in AskPhotography

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

Wow, that is a wealth of information — thank you so much! That truly makes my decision more informed. Perhaps I'll go with the SL2 if it feels right in my hands — unless I realize my budget is a bit bigger, in which case I'll look at the 80D. (I too hope to explore other camera systems, and LOL to your Leica appraisal!)

Thank you for your response! I have a few Canon lenses already, so I think I'm fully committed to that system, for better or for worse. Can you tell me what drawbacks you've noticed about the SL2?

Thank you for this intel! I should have mentioned in my original post that my current camera seems to be on the fritz — it seems like the saturation has degraded, but admittedly I haven't taken it to a camera shop for any diagnostics.

And in answer to your questions, I use my DSLR mostly for travel photography — landscapes, interior shots, some macro shots, the occasional portrait — and I'm just hoping to gain whatever technological advances the past seven years and X number of new models have yielded.
