I’ve got a PD shell and I can always get a lens coat for it so there goes the want for the sport model

A sports photographer told me to go with a canon 100-400 and a 1.4X instead of the 150-600 but nah that’s like a 140-560 f/6.3-7.8

they enforce wearing the school socks here like

you cant even wear no brand white socks

you have to wear the school ones with the little stripes near the top of the sock

and wearing the wrong socks is considered just as bad of a uniform violation as everything else

I need a short telephoto lens (my 70-200) so I can do shots where I don’t want to be right up close to the people and then a wide zoom lens (my 17-40) for shots when I’m right up in the action like within a metre or two

I’m stubborn as all shit and the person I have to relay this to is worse then me

It took so long there’s 1 main file that has 14 sub files which each contain 2 more files

sudden karma
#

lmao wtf

frozen lantern
#

It’s fights so what I’ve done is I’ve created 1 main file, 1 file for each rostered fight and those files have a file for the weigh ins and a second one for the fight itself

#

It’s a lot of files but I’ve done it this way so that the client can find exactly what they’re looking for right away

sudden karma
#

im pretty organised this year

#

19 subfolders in my 2025 folder

frozen lantern
#

Instead of having to look through hundreds of photos to find a specific thing they can go to the file for the rostered fight and then have access to the weigh in photos and fight photos which are separated

Makes sense doesn’t it?

It is 2025 and I never thought I'd ever see a PS/2 connector on a new socket 1851 motherboard.

#

The last time I had hardware that used that interface was back in 2004.

sudden karma
#

ive got 2 on mine

fiery island
#

i'm guessing here: you're on the AMD side of the fence?

sudden karma
#

Yeah

#

Built my PC when there was still the issues with 13/14th gen and didn't feel like risking it

#

The 5 7600 fit my budget nicely aswell

fiery island
#

Fair enough..I switched to Intel about 2010, I know there are some things AMD CPUs do better, but there are also things Intel are better optimised for.

#

I'm just getting a middle of the road 1851 CPU - i'm waiting for Intel to fix the issues in the current generation before springing for a higher end CPU.

static ruin
#

Intel got very complacent, then yeah 13/14th gen had issues with their cpu's committing sudoku

fiery island
#

apparently due to a thing as basic as voltage regulation - quite a design blooper there intel.

kindred rivet
#

im on 11th gen cant complain

static ruin
#

It went deeper than that, after firmware updates to reduce that voltage, they still suffer from degradation, it's still a fault in manufacture/design

kindred rivet
#

(the core ultra cpu can go sudoku themselves)

static ruin
#

At most dropping voltage may just push the non top tier ones to last long enough to outlive its useful life, but still have a higher failure rate than they should

fiery island
#

oh I have colleagues that build servers using 13/14th gen Intel CPU's that have had nearly constant warranty issues.

#

Xeons are too expensive for some markets, so standard consumer hardware is often used in some situations....and that is where the problems start.

static ruin
#

Yeah sounds about right. Apparently maintenance contracts for those cpu's had a big ramp up in cost to factor in that high failure rate lol

fiery island
#

My current NAS is running a 12th gen intel CPU - it has been extremely stable, though the ram pool has been expanded considerably up to 256Gb šŸ˜…

#

I've had all sorts of PC issues as of late, had my c drive (m.2 ssd) fail over the weekend

#

Otherwise for quite some time been getting random black screen, never worked out the underlying issue, thinking it's the mobo as far as I can tell, just annoying to fault find very intermittent issues

fiery island
static ruin
#

Out of all my drives to fail, it's probably one I'm fine with funnily enough

fiery island
static ruin
#

I usually don't store much important on c drive, mostly keep it for OS ofc, and just programs/games. Got other drives for the bigger storage, made some backups when I had other issues, but still need a better long term solution

fiery island
#

Build a NAS, it doesn't need to have bleeding edge hardware - just get a chassis with a solid backplane for a RAID array and shit load of hard drives.

#

That ought to cover the basics.

static ruin
#

Yeah I've tossed up the idea, something with atleast some redundancy that can be fixed would give some peace of mind

sudden karma
#

May aswell keep the 5 7600 it's a great CPU

fiery island
#

I have an SSD NAS - which I have set to RAID 1, which is a single drive redundancy , I have another NAS set to RAID 10 with platter based Hard drives which I use to store larger raw file libraries long term.

static ruin
#

Probably should have kept my old build for that, but eh, it's gone now

#

Only kept the old i7 to potentially turn into one of those keychain cpu's

#

nas probably better with lower power cpu anyway I suppose, doesn't need much to run it

fiery island
#

I've considered doing that to my CPU collection but it would turn out to be ever so slightly more than just a keychain.

I actively see my ryzen 5 7600 pulling like 10 watts idling

sudden karma
#

You should hook the 5070 up to it

fiery island
sudden karma
#

I have a 750w and I pull like 250w out of it PepeLaugh

#

I don't think the fan even turns on at that low of a wattage

#

I'm also pretty sure my fans pull more power then my cpu atp

fiery island
sudden karma
#

No the 5 7600 just pulls like nothing

still wadi
#

is the 4070 super worth it or should i just get a 4080?

sudden karma
#

i think that depends on what price you can get it for and what you need from a gpu

still wadi
#

i just need it for like some editing and light gaming

static ruin
#

4070s will cover that then, price difference is pretty significant

#

On the gaming end I'd only consider 4080 if you care about pushing decent frame rates at 4k without dropping settings

#

Productivity/editing it'll do fine, if you need anything more you'd probably already know (usually more vram helps, but 4070s is more than sufficient for most producitity work)

english is an optional subject for vce

You have to do at least okay in English and math

yeah, ik

frozen lantern
still wadi

probably mechanical engineering or smth like that

Don’t screw up like me

#

In case that career doesn’t work out set yourself up so that you have other options

still wadi
#

photography would be option 2

#

lol

I set myself up with skills intending to get into the military but my application got pulled for medical reasons so I sorta haven’t figured out my alternatives yet

still wadi
#

oof

#

maybe photography would work out

#

Nah I’ll probably finish my cert iii and get my year 12 then do a diploma in aeroskills to become a LAME and work for QGAIR or Laidos or REX or something I don’t know yet

ok cool!

Kana lives further north than me but I live near the most northern point on the continent

still wadi

ok lol

frozen lantern
#

Closest airport to the tip would probably be Bamaga and the flight time from my city is shortest

In a way I am further north because I’m closer to the most northern point on the continent then kana

For me it’s a shorter distance to the most northern point on the continent

how do you guys tolerate the heat

#

its so hot up there

#

anyways, should i get a bike license instead or a car license

#

bike are cheaper and more fun after all

static ruin
#

Get both. Car is more versatile and worth having licence, bike naturally has it's uses, but typically more hobby

still wadi
#

ok

#

i'll probably get a bike first then a get a car later on

static ruin
#

Yeah order doesn't matter too much. Sounds like bike will do what you want, car just opens up options later and worth atleast having licence, even if you don't use it for a while

#

Once you have it it's just a matter of renewals, can get 10 year licences now

still wadi
#

ok

They didn’t have a military photographer available so I got offered the assignment

I watched a guy get his nose broken then later I watched a guy dislocate his shoulder before the doctor came in and popped it back in place IN THE RING

It was kickboxing

Not a pretty sight or something pleasant to think about but it’s martial arts injuries happen, I knew damn well what I was getting myself into

Considering the recent budget cuts for which the orange shitgibbon is ultimately responsible, I don't think we can rely on data from the NOAA so much anymore.

random question:
Which state in your opinion has the best public transport system

static ruin
#

At current time, certainly not Sydney

still wadi
#

lol

#

i think melbourne's is pretty good, aside from the fact that the trams are shit, but thats about it

#

i might be wrong

deep cape
#

I think all things considered if all are running optimally probably Sydney

#

But realistically Melbourne lately on the balance of operational performance

#

It’s fucking insane that a major city doesn’t have a rail from the airport to the CBD

sudden karma
#

They've been saying that for the last like 20 years

#

it still hasn't happened

#

biggest city in Aus btw

still wadi
#

lol

#

true ig

static ruin
#

Our PT network used to actually be solid, though reliability has certainly tanked over the last decade (also throw in strike action, some of it very spontaneous just effectively shutting it down out of nowhere), it's to the point I don't recommend it at all to anyone that has anything time sensitive to travel to

deep cape
# static ruin Not seen the other networks to compare, if things run well in Sydney, it's actua...

yeah agree, having used both i think melbourne sucks because

  1. cant tap on with credit cards and myki is dogshit
  2. lack of rail from airport to the cbd
  3. constant bus replacement services on lines are getting a bit shit
  4. the way it’s been rolled out with different providers of trains for different lines and regions in metro melbourne is so stupid, the north west metro lines can’t get any of the new siemens trains because their stations aren’t actually built to support them
static ruin
#

We have the metro which I assume can't run the other trains, though it's entirely automated as far as driving goes, also has those secondary gates like other countries on the platforms

#

Is infact what I ended up using tonight to eventually get home, had to get someone to pick me up still a fair bit out.. 5 hours to get home, fun times

#

We've got airport station, though being private, it's an extra $20 on top of the train fare to use the gates, better than nothing, but it hurts
