Am I being reasonable? Z8 instead of Z6iii to have more reach because of the 48mp? GAS? Hey everyone! I recently upgraded from my ZF to the Z6iii. I really love the improved ergonomics. On my recent trip I realised that I had many (nature) shots where I would have loved to crop in post if it wasn’t for the loss in quality/sharpness. Since I like printing those “1 out of 100” shots I was sad to see losing detail. I’ve been debating…
LPT: Focus on what people are thinking in the moment instead of the recent past Now I have no idea what’s wrong with me but this LPT might be useful for people suffering from anxiety and overthinking in social situations. Either way, I’m actually here to find out if what I realized is valid or not. Depending on the vote ratio of this post. Anyway, focus on what people are thinking in the moment RIGHT NOW, instead of the thi…
Powerplay 2: Logitech made its magic mousepad cheaper instead of better I’ve never reviewed a perfect product, but Logitech’s Powerplay Wireless Charging System comes close. For over three years and counting, I’ve never even had to think about charging my wireless mouse. It’s so dead simple, it feels like magic, and it’s shame that most people probably can’t afford it at $120. The good news: Logitech

iPhone 16E Name is Increasingly Likely Instead of iPhone SE 4 Apple is expected to announce a new entry-level iPhone model tomorrow, and it is increasingly likely that the device will be named iPhone 16E. Most rumors have referred to the device as a new iPhone SE, since it will succeed the iPhone SE (3rd generation), but there is mounting evidence that the device will be named iPhone 16E instead of iPhone…
Why is my GX9 randomly shooting JPG instead of RAW (and a few other questions)? (Crossposted with r/M43, and sorry this is a long one) I never thought I’d be birding with a 50mm equiv. xD xD I normally shoot a Canon R5 with big lenses, but realized along the way that I rarely take it out anymore because of the size…. So I bought my first m43 camera (Lumix GX9) a couple of weeks ago. This morning, I went for a walk around …
How would one get others to text them via phone numbers instead of social media and apps? How would I go about getting others comfortable with old fashion texting? In my experience, texting via phone numbers has always been safer, more private, immediate, it don’t require data nor wifi, and it’s easier for me, whether it be for personal or business and professional reasons. The fact that snap lets you hide stuff is suspicious to me, …
Pictures instead of videos Hello. I’m new to this sub and wanted to pursue being a content creator in Facebook. I already know how to navigate and monetize. Does Facebook pay content creators for posted pictures instead of videos? Cause I heard that only videos with certain length (i.e. 15mins) are payed. Please enlighten me. Hope someone would share his/her experiences/…
Employer provided me with a W9 instead of a W4 Hey yall, Recently got a part-time position that is sub 20 hours a week. The only employment form I recieved was a W-9, I’m very much used to an I9 and W4. Is there any obvious tax implications for this on my end? Thanks! submitted by /u/DildoWilliumz
LPT: Ask “what” or “how” instead of “why” to understand situations better When trying to understand a problem or someone’s perspective, framing questions with “what” or “how” keeps the conversation constructive. “Why” can sometimes come off as accusatory, while “What can we do to fix this?” or “How did this happen?” encourages problem-solving and open discussion. submitted by /u/RubyJensen94
iPhone SE 4 to Have Notch Instead of Dynamic Island The upcoming iPhone SE 4 will feature a notch instead of the Dynamic Island, respected display analyst Ross Young said today. The device will have a “notch like the iPhone 14,” according to Young, which contradicts a recent leak that depicted a Dynamic Island. Earlier this month, leaker Evan Blass shared images said to feature the iPhone SE…
LPT: Use ballet tights instead of transparent tights Ballet tights are available in a lot of colours and skin tones. They are far softer and way more durable than normal transparent tights. I hate the feeling of transparent tights on my legs, they often fell rough or scratchy. Also when I use them they often get runs in them after wearing them a few times. But ballet tights are extremely comfortab…
LPT: Instead of saying “I know,” say “You’re right.” Saying “You’re right” can make conversations smoother and more positive. It shows acknowledgement and keeps the focus on the other person’s point, which can avoid sounding dismissive and help foster better communication. submitted by /u/ZoeMurray90
Am I over-saving for retirement instead of saving up a down payment? Title, basically. I’m a 42-year old single mom in an expensive city and I want to know if I’m socking too much away in illiquid, tax-advantaged accounts I won’t be able to touch for 20 years, and whether I’m being foolish to just enjoy my below-market rent while ignoring the chance to save up a down payment on a condo or townhouse? (Single-famil…
401k contribution instead of raise? I am financially illiterate so excuse my complete ignorance. I’ve got two situation I’d like advice on. At my current job, I have a 401k with a 3% employer match. I’m contributing 6% which is about what I can afford right now. We have profit sharing in the form of a 401k contribution. My boss today told me that they were also going to give me a…
LPT: Blackbird instead of beep…. I’m a diabetic and use a system on my phone to manage my insulin pump and blood sugar levels. Occasionally, the system sends me notifications about changes, such as high or low blood sugar levels. While these alerts are essential, they often blend in with the barrage of other notifications—text messages, emails, and even my morning alarm. To mai…
LPT: If you need to take notes for your job, use a pad of actual paper instead of your phone. There are tiny notebooks that will fit in your pocket if your work uniform has them. A fanny pack also works if you don’t have pockets or you need a slightly bigger notebook than will fit in your pocket. My job doesn’t have a rule against phones, but if you need to take notes fairly often, you may not want to be seen on your phone over and over …
Car needs $6000 in repairs, should I just save for a new car instead? So like I stated my car needs $6000 in repairs. It’s only a lot because one of the issues has to do with the timing belt and other timing components. I recently paid the car off in November and I haven’t done any major repairs on it since I got it, 3 years or so ago. I’d say in 3-4 years I probably spent 2k on repairs. I’m just at a loss. I pa…
Any point doing 60 month 0% instead of 72 0%? Title says most of it. But someone please help me if I’m missing something here. Financially I don’t see why I put $3-$5k extra down to force myself into a 60 month loan with payments I want to make when I could save that money and do a 72 month loan and just pay like $90ish more over the minimum 72 month payment and pay it off in 5 years. Both…
