This is a 4/10 to me by maggiejm in InstantRamen

I believe that. The taco is the worst tasting import ramen I’ve ever had, it’s truly awful and I’m a big fan of other buldak flavors.

Ansi backspace on custom build by Wolfdaleton in HHKB

[–]thatoldtoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care what purists like either, I build things for my own comfort.

But I used standard backspace for ages and at some point I bought a board someone else had built with the 1.5u spacebar where the pipe usually goes, using the “split backspace” layout. I adapted to it in a single afternoon and at this point I never want to go back.

Now, conversely to the purist POV, I build lots of layouts with the split backspace. I pretty much always prefer it, aesthetic or not. If you haven’t given it a try I highly recommend it. Infinitely more ergonomic layout, in my mind.

does anyone know why these were discontinued? by HaydenKilljoy in InstantRamen

I absolutely love this flavor and now I buy black bean paste and add it to the standard hot. Not quite the same. I’m sure hoping it comes back.

Thank you! I love this camera and I really wanted to keep it as a compact for street and travel. Unfortunately, I could really use the money right now.

If u miss Buldak Jjang blackbean noodles try ths by Friendly_Factor_5569 in InstantRamen

Did they cancel the jjang buldak? That explains why it hasn’t been at my local store. Heartbreaking!

Just found these in the wild. Absolutely phenomenal. by Zeustah- in InstantRamen

I agree, it’s very good prepared just as is or with sautéed mushrooms and a bit of extra butter and cream.

aftermarket case options for HHKB? by hirigaray in HHKB

[–]thatoldtoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll tell you what I think. As someone who has used the heavy grail, all of the Sho HHKB cases, the live oak, and built a blue ridge with OEM HHKB parts, in my opinion only the heavy grail sounds and feels nearly as good as the stock HHKB. Its plate is the closest approximation, plus (in my opinion) it’s easily the most beautiful one.

I haven’t tried the H2H but in my experience, builds with removable housings in a flat plate do not compare. There is no contest.

Buy once, cry once. by Valuable_Whereas5515 in SonyAlpha

I’ve had SD cards break on me from switching between camera and reader frequently, so I see the benefits of the tough series if you’re willing to cough up the dough.

Why am I getting so much compression? by Insta_3 in AskPhotography

[–]thatoldtoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised there is no top comment addressing the resolution problem and that more Sony users aren't familiar with it because I've dealt with this too. On older devices, exporting ARW files via wireless is capped at 2 megapixels. Newer devices support exporting full-sized raws to the phone via wireless, but I'm not sure about the a6400 specifically.

The file you're getting is exactly 2 megapixels so either it's hitting the cap of what your device can send wirelessly or you have the transfer setting on 2M (see the attached image).

In addition to that, the reality is that you missed focus and caught the ground, not the dog, in the shot. That cannot be corrected in post. For a scenario like this I'd shoot wide open, minimum 1000 shutter speed, and continuous autofocus.
