  • Linux on a 2014 macbook air?

    跳过

  • I put KDE Fedora on a MacBook Air circa 2013 iirc. It’s old heh. It runs well but it hates the new kernel. So after a lot of poking around to find a solution to the full hardware kernel panic lockups I found it was a problem with the wifi, as usual. You might get luckier than me since it’s only a couple chipsets they use that choke.

    That said even with that issue I just locked the kernel at 5.15 and it runs just fine. I started with 38 and I’ve upgraded every release until current without any issue.

  • Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss - Closest modern equivalent?

    跳过

  • I've watched a couple of reviews for this recently because a couple people I know just got it on recent sales. What I've seen is that it really does try to lean into the feeling of UU games... ie it's not just a dungeon crawler, but has a fleshed out story and dynamic interactions.

    Looks like the recent price discount just ended with the end of the Steam summer sale... but it also looks like it drops that low fairly frequently. Though it's not like it's super expensive to begin with heh.

  • IDK how "modern" you're looking... Arx Fatalis was meant to be Ultima Underworld III but couldn't due to the IP being owned by EA. The people at Arkane were in contact with the devs of Ultima Underworld though, as I understand it.

  • Why don't Americans use electric kettles?

    跳过

  • Some do, but because of the prevalence of automatic coffee machines and microwaves there isn't as much of a need outside specialty coffee drinkers.

    The argument about speed and convenience doesn't work in the US because of the outlet voltage as well. The 110-120v outlets don't provide the same level of power to kettles so they can't heat up as quickly. If you have a microwave it's just as fast or faster.

  • Opinions on new-to-me m43 camera

    跳过

  • Yeah. The tilting back lcd is a must for me, especially if there is no EVF. So I’ve been looking at the e-pl6 because I can get it fairly cheap with a warranty from a reseller. It doesn’t have all the features but it does look promising. I just keep looking at the ones for 100 more and they have some newer sensors and screens etc. Always go round and round on this stuff heh.

    With the e-m10 and the gx80 having similar feature sets... what is making you stick with the e-m10 more?

  • For walking around... I want something I can walk around in the city. I don't really do street photography per se since I don't like photographing people... but I do like landscape and architectural and just documenting my life sort of things. I like nature walks and parks and such as well... not really hiking... more casual stuff.

    My experience is moderate. I started with 35mm in the 80's and 90's and worked as an assistant to a portrait and event photog in the early 00's. So I am not a pro but I'm not new to using a camera. Like I said, I have am om-d e-m5 ii now, which is great but I'd like something with a flip up screen and with a slimmer profile than the SLR body style of the e-m5 as well as a bit less weight. Since I already have several m43 lenses that cover a gamut of focal lengths (7.5mm FE, 14-42mm, 45mm f/1.8, 40-150mm) it feels like just slotting a small m43 body into my kit will be a no brainer. I plan on picking up some small primes soon as well, so all the more reason that sticking with just adding a new m43 body for versatility makes sense. I primarily shoot in manual mode, so having some physical controls to adjust those quickly would be nice, but since this is a secondary body it isn't a deal breaker if it doesn't have dual dials.

  • Yeah... some of the models that are popular have insane prices... and it's gonna probably get worse what with the apocalypse and all. :(

    Looks like a gx7 is about 300-350, a gx85 is 450-500, a gx8 is 600-750, and gx9 is 850-1050. Like... I see a G9 II on the page for 1300... IDK why some of those rangefinder models from several years ago are so high priced. smh.

  • Yeah... I've had my eye on the gx8 for a while but it's still more than I want to pay. The gx9 is like $900-1000 used.. way outside what I'm looking at.

    I was originally looking at the olympus e-pl6 because it's about 200... but I started seeing that for just a little more if I pushed I might get noticeable feature boost... so I'm considering a little more to get nicer features. The gx7 seems like it's got good quality and checks most of the boxes (slightly larger than I wanted but that's ok)... but I'm stuck in a cycle of comparing it to all the stuff in it's range.

    Have you used the gx7 at all to compare to the gx85 / gx9? Also, how is the focus peaking on lumix cameras. I'd like to be able to use manual lenses but I really like focus peaking to be an option.

  • Both Tuta and Proton are decent selections.

    Some of the rumblings from proton admin are a little concerning... too early to see if they're going to have issues or not. Their service is robust and easy to use.

    Tuta seems to be a fairly good choice from a privacy standpoint. They aren't nearly as robust of a product package and using it feels a little old skool and clunky... but they're actively working on it... so hopefully it will change.

    The biggest thing with proton is that they offer a suite of products. They look to compete directly with the goog on their offerings... so they have email, calendar, password manager, file drive, wallet, whatever else... and they're working to integrate them. So if you use a plethora of g-products... it's more of a smooth transition because there are more analogs to use. If you have already diversified away from a monolithic product base, then this isn't an issue.

  • Is it worth the trouble with an Nvidia card?

    跳过

  • Even at msrp it isn’t worth it right now. They’re having issues with the melting cables still, the drivers not working properly, and things like you might just not get the correct amount of components on your chip die. This series has been abysmal. With the amd 9070 coming out I’d still wait and just look at those to see if they take this gift nvidia is giving them and run with it.
