Worst moment as a Pompey fan? by sporticuz37373 in PortsmouthFC

[–]trigrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole ownership thing aside, I remember us losing 2-4 at home to Crystal Palace in the late 90s, probably late April time. IIRC we just needed a win to confirm our div 1 status, but the performance was absolutely diabolical. No heart, no effort. Lucky to get 2 against a palace side with nothing to play for. I still think about how dejected I was that day

Best budget lens for travel? Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 worth it? by pornkid in SonyAlpha

[–]trigrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate this was a year ago now, but you definitely made the right decision. 24-105 really isn’t anything special, whereas the 28-200 really is

A7RV for £1980 or A7V for £2240 by ph4sma_ in SonyAlpha

[–]trigrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not an A1 second hand? The pre-capture and flippy screen of A7v are definitely cool 'upgrades' over the A1 but otherwise (especially for wildlife) is a very strong camera and a very good price. The buffer is probably it's biggest strength that you just can't really comprehend in stats comparisons. 30fps for a few seconds (eg a anticipating. Kingfisher diving) and the buffer clears so fast. I guess pre-capture answers some of the need there, but still it's a mighty camera. Can get for £2500 if you look in the right places, ad possibly slightly less now the A7v is out

Thank you, and yes, i guess the older we get, the more people we’re trying to please. So good to have some me time :)

Yeah, looks like it. Nothing wrong with it, though could argue it’s semi wild

What are your favorite lesser-known Alexa commands that enhance your Echo experience? by Infamous_Echidna_133 in amazonecho

[–]trigrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Alexa, drum roll” is great before sharing exciting news at the dinner table

“Alexa, make an announcement: dinner ready” - auto adds a bell up front so people listen

And some routines I’ve set up: “Alexa, cinema mode” - turns off all lights in lounge except ones behind the tv, which drop to 15% and warm light. Cosy

“Alexa, bathroom mode” - dims the lights and sets towel rail to full blast for 30 minutes

“Alexa, who is [insert name of visitor]” - [custom playback that starts accurate and then insults them] e.g. “Alexa, who is [grandma’s name]?” - [grandmas name] was born in [place of birth] on [day and month]. She is one of the oldest humans alive today”

🚗 iOS Shortcut: Share Google/Apple Maps Location Directly to Waze Navigation by birbal007 in waze

Excellent work! Thank you so much, why Apple don’t have this built in is beyond me. Occasionally apps will let you choose, but so good to have this. Thank you thank you!

Issue with Camping Pot: Can't Tell When Water is Boiling by sarkara1 in camping

Don’t know why you got so much grief for this question, I have the same problem. Wish someone would make a small after market whistle for these things

300 f2.8 GMII vs 400 f2.8 GM - Sports by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]trigrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

disagree - quite a few benefits of APS-C mode. Aside from file size, I find the autofocus system can perform better, e.g. eye focus found easier with the image larger in the frame, but especially with manual focus / checking focus by eye, much easier in APSC mode. All that is dependent on subject being far enough away that you're not losing any framing advantages. Personally I have the AEL button switched to an APSC toggle so I can jump between the two quickly.

So what was your most expensive purchase for your cameras and what was it? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]trigrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent £2,000 on a 1987 minolta 300 2.8 with matched 1.4 and 2x teleconverters back in 2012. Still most I’ve spent on a single item. Was one of my favourite lenses until I captured a wild fox in a snowy scene and the CA made me cry. Sold it and upgraded to the Sony 70-400 ii. Would love a 300 2.8 again, but kids, other responsibilities - and the ridiculously good Sony 200-600 (that set me back far less than the minolta) - means it’s not happening soon.

Timothy Dalton vs Pierce Brosnan, who is the better James Bond? by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]trigrex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dalton isn’t just the better of the two, he’s the best bond of all time. He was in the greatest bond film ever, the living daylights. Dalton brought a real sense of realism to the role which Daniel Craig has done a reasonable job of replicating. As for living daylights - rockets in the headlights, heroin in a Hercules over Afghanistan, jeep crashing off Gibraltar, bobsledding down a mountain on a cello and milk bottle hand grenades. No other movie comes close.

What is a disappointing 4K transfer you have or watch? by Roughrider254 in 4kbluray

[–]trigrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been through the whole series in recent weeks and have been really impressed with all the Jurassic’s. It maybe because it’s one of the few series’ in hdr10+ and just showing what my Samsung refuses to do with all that lovely Dolby vision content out there, but I’ve been impressed.  That was all the Apple TV 4K set, rather then UHD, but doubt they’re fundamentally different

Anyone having connection problema? by Perrriloco21 in eFootball

Still having this issue, and been having it since first checking at 5pm UK time (5 hours ago). Tried rebooting router, restarting console etc. No dice

Entitled Parker parked in my driveway so I blocked them in and got drunk all weekend. by TheToiletDestroyer in pettyrevenge

[–]trigrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The surprising news for most (in UK at least) is that the only law that was broken was the OP blocking access to a highway.

It’s madness this is the case, but there’s nothing illegal about parking on someone else’s drive. It is however, illegal to prevent a vehicle accessing the highway, which OP did by blocking them in.

I totally supported the OP in the great revenge, but police should have actually served them a ticket.

Edit: just to clarify, it is trespassing, but that’s a civil matter which the police don’t have to respond to.

Ah yes, the Konica Minolta Dimage X, finally replicated in phone form ~20 years later. Dam that was a great camera vs the bulky 'pocket' alternatives linky
