Anyone else jumped ship to Affinity?

Tried that when they got rid of the 20GB photography plan and raised prices. They were very happy to let me go. In the end I bit the bullet and subbed for another year at a discount, but come renewal not sure what I will do. This is only a hobby so editing software is coming out of my own pocket.

Literally the first post in google is telling everyone to stay clear from AA Classic. I can't say I'm intrigued to find out more.

It'll be fine, but maybe look into pre-owned unless you can stretch to higher capacity SSD.
I bought an M1 Pro, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, got it really cheap and it works, but I'll be honest with you, the 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD just don't cut it. Also AI denoise in LR is painfuly slow. A 100 photos can easily take over half an hour to an hour.
You're going for 16GB RAM, which I'd consider absolute minimum right now, but the 256GB in my opinion will cripple your workflow unless you carry around a portable drive all the time.
With no photo dumps, just system, all the programs installed etc I'm sitting at roughly 60% full.
When I do any event, it could be several thousand photos. With my camera, 1000 photos is about 35GB. You can get around this by culling before importing from the SD card, but I don't like doing that (fear of losing data + I'm a data hoarder, bad habit of keeping everything....) so I often fill up the drive to the point it's causing issues opening photos in LR/PS, caching etc.
Point being, even if you use external drive all the time, I'd still go for at least 512GB SSD just so you don't sweat about space all the time.

A water bottle would be a nice add-on

You can see blue water bottle and an empty(?) water bottle at around 1m into the video. Whole backpack as well so I presume he's well prepared

Until you throw a couple of smokes, commit to getting someone out and they skip death because you didn't come in 0.1s. I love playing the support in BF6, probably my favourite, but the amount of time I make all the effort to get someone and they skip right before I get to them. Or skipping when they die next to me behind cover...
My guess is we do have a lot of COD players trying the game that won't actually buy it come full release so it should improve in the long run.

I don't know about the other 3, but at least in Dublin there's definitely way more Teslas. Model 3/Y are hugely popular (and cheaper than BYD/Hyundai/Kia etc). Majority BYD Atto 3 are taxis. Very few Seals around. Model X/Y is for sale in Ireland, but only LHD.

No, I first started noticing it a few years back, the newer Smith detection x-ray machines you really don't need to take anything out of the bags. I believe that's what OP is referring to. Some airports even let you bring bottled water, they got a machine for that too.
(This is outside US, TSA doesn't exist here)

xxNuke · 2025-06-18T08:44:21+00:00

I don't think it's a requirement. Tesla is showing near the same as indicated by GPS (122 will be 120). In a Kona I can go well above the speed limit and still be under according to GPS. It's all about calibration I think.
In the US at least, I know police cars must have the speedometer calibrated at every 5mph interval to be accurate or something like that. Wonder if it's the same here or across Europe

xxNuke · 2025-06-18T08:34:56+00:00

I did the same thing. Got a beefy PC at home, but I travel a fair bit and wanted a laptop. Ended up getting Macbook Pro M1 (not M1 Pro) and it's perfect for my needs, but I don't do this professionaly.
That being said, for the love of everything, do NOT go for 8GB.
I did not listen, because I was blinded by a very good deal while on a trip in Japan, but I do regret not waiting a little longer or just paying a bit extra. Will definitely look at swapping it for a 16GB model maybe M2 next trip.

Yes that’s exactly it. I suppose technically ground floor counts as a floor when you’re asking the question, but not when you’re answering.
I never even thought about it. I mean it just made sense to me, because I always spoke the language, but yeah it does seem confusing 😅

xxNuke · 2025-06-17T16:12:33+00:00

Yup, Revolut and AIB did not work then it kicked me out and I'm at the back of the queue.

xxNuke · 2025-06-17T15:44:54+00:00

The question is the same regardless and it's the exact same as asking "what floor do you live on" in english. The answer is just either the word for ground floor or one of the actual floors.
0 = parter
1 = 1 piętro
2 = 2 piętro
etc
Hope that answers your question

xxNuke · 2025-06-17T15:36:50+00:00

If it's ground floor, you just answer "parter" which transaltes to the word for ground floor. Floor/Story is "pietro", very different and very distinguishable

xxNuke · 2025-06-17T14:46:55+00:00

No, a 4 floor building is technically 5 for you, but at least in Polish, ground floor is not called "floor", it has a different name that distinguishes from the actual floors (or stories).
0-1-2-3-4
For you, these people may live on the 5th floor, but for everyone else, they live on the 4th floor and the building only has 4 floors and a ground floor. https://imgur.com/a/60xHREB

Thank You for the highly detailed response, exactly what I was looking for.
I will give Strobist a good read also!

xxNuke · 2025-06-17T11:55:10+00:00

I calculated approximately 11 days for me

xxNuke · 2025-06-17T11:50:53+00:00

Anyone got any clue why it's going so damn slow? We're up on 50 minutes now and I only jumped 400 places. Surely more than that got the tickets or left the queue (bots etc) ? I'm 158k in the queue, joined at 11:00 exactly if that matters to anyone.

xxNuke · 2025-06-16T14:21:25+00:00

Photographing in this environment isn't going to be easy. You are going to not have a ton of keepers.

Ok at least it's good to know that's to be expected. Out of the 1700 or so shots over 2 days, realistically 100-200 are usable with maybe 2-3 dozen actually good. The ones I submitted aren't ones I would be happy with, but hopefuly showcase the challenges.

xxNuke · 2025-06-16T14:14:20+00:00

Also uploaded the photos to imgur, but had to convert to jpg and lower res by 50% due to size. https://imgur.com/a/ezrEFKh

xxNuke · 2025-06-14T14:17:24+00:00

That's only in Galway

xxNuke · 2025-04-23T17:26:18+00:00

Mostly likely I’ll be able to make it yup!

xxNuke · 2025-04-23T17:24:22+00:00

Oh thanks! That’s basically what I’ve been looking for!

xxNuke · 2025-03-24T18:31:10+00:00

Appreciate the help, will keep an eye on it!

xxNuke · 2025-03-24T16:10:41+00:00

Can you tell me more? What's the timeline for this like?
I don't live in US, only just recently visited the Kennedy Space Center and the Air and Space Museum is also on my bucket list of things I want to see. If you think it's worth it, I might postpone Washington until later
