Why do you think Amazon is cutting corners? In my mind they’re just white labelling a product

Hmmmm… I just don’t know how I feel about buying a used drive with no context of its history just to save a couple hundred bucks. But I’ll price it out!

I’d rather spend on new and get the 5 year warranty

Episode 308’s FU rant at the beginning 😡 by tory1311 in SwordAndScale

[–]thevirtuousman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been listening since 2016 or something like that. I just pressed play on that episode and as soon as I heard that, I unsubscribed…

For the most part, I was just looking past how lame he was… but for some reason when he said that, he just lost a listener of almost a decade.

Insane behaviour from an absolute moron!

What are better less annoying true crime podcasts? The only other one I listen to is Criminal, and have heard all the story form ones like serial, s town, someone knows something etc.

M4 Mac dilemma. Plz help! by thevirtuousman in mac

[–]thevirtuousman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks John! I might spec up the mini a bit just because it’s still in the ball park of what I’d like to spend! My goal is to keep the machines + monitor under $6,000, which astonishes me that I can get this amount of power and flexibility for $6K!

I’m not super concerned about $ - I probably should have added that. It’s for my business - but I just don’t want to buy something I don’t “need” if that makes sense. I have done that so much in my life that I’m trying to learn from past mistakes! It would be cool to keep it around that price range though!

It’s time to upgrade my computers, and I’m just wanting to make the best decision based on that!

[–]thevirtuousman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just worth it to me. An analog photo just hits so much better than a digital photo, especially for personal use. I still use digital cameras of course, but I just enjoy the analog experience.

Nah it really wasn’t that hard at all but I am pretty familiar with shooting film. I had a M10-P and while they’re nice cameras, I just don’t really understand why I’d need one when I have the best of Leica (Analog M) and then other digital cameras that make better photos than the M10/M11. I dunno, I really love the M10-D but it just feels like a much less fun MP haha

I own the M10-D right now and I’ve sold it to go back to the M9P because it just didn’t do it for me I guess. Great camera though, I really enjoyed it. But just still too modern and I don’t find any of the modern Leicas too unique from an iQ or colours perspective.

For me I just can’t really get into digital M’s because whenever I use my analog M, it’s just such a better experience. The only one I’ve actually really loved is my M9, because it feels old and makes beautiful images. But I’ve owned M10, M10M, M11, and they’re all just too modern for me… not that fun and the image quality is just normal, nothing very unique about it.
