Google is removing third-party apps and clock faces from all Fitbit watches in the EU
  • A great trick for Garmin watches is that they make some high end models with sapphire glass. Get one of those used and you have top of the line stuff for a reasonable price, yet the glass never scratches so it will look like new...

  • Catching a glance
  • Some quick feedback:

    The two things that draw my attention are the person looking away and the black blob in the top right. The black blob mostly feels like a distraction. The person is not well lit and almost hard to see compared with the almost over exposed foreground. There's a lot of interesting stuff in the picture but kinda mixed messages for what to focus on with the parts in focus being so dim.

    I would try cropping much tighter around the subject and see if you can find a stronger composition.

  • What is the silliest law that is still enforced where you live? Why do you think it still exists?
  • Until a couple of months ago it was illegal in Sweden for a restaurant owner to allow spontaneous dancing if they did not have a dancing permit. Since July this year they don't have to apply for a permit but still have to notify authorities about arranged dancing.

  • [OC] The most epic northern lights I've seen

    This was back in 2016, a really epic northern lights. It always looks a bit brighter in pictures but this one was very bright IRL as well, and even had some purple.

    Bonus picture from the same day: !

    Making a tenkeyless from a fullsize keyboard by cutting it in half
  • The small board that was above the numpad has all the smarts for the whole keyboard, so I had to follow the traces it was attached to and find a new location to wire it in at. Luckily the big PCB I cut in half is pretty simple so I could just visually see where everything went and run a new wire there.

    Making a tenkeyless from a fullsize keyboard by cutting it in half

    Some 10 years ago I had a Cherry G80-3000 full-size keyboard that I wanted to be a tenkeyless. So I cut the keyboard in two parts and made it work again. Madness, but it worked.

    Recommendations for pre-assembled keyboards for a small office
  • Both Ducky and keychron have some prebuilt with hotswap. For example the Ducky One 3, you could get it with Red Silent switches and if someone really hates the feeling you can just get new switches and swap them out.

  • Horsehead and flame nebula

    I took this picture of the horsehead and flame nebula at the beginning of 2020.

    It's a composite of 36x 100s exposures. Taken with a Canon 6D, Tamron 150-600mm. Tracked on a skyadventurer with a guidescope for better tracking.

    The Andromeda galaxy
  • It does the job, but this lens is right at the limit of what it can do, especially with the guide scope as well. I also have the counterweight kit.

    It's not super precise, some adjustments have a bit of play so it takes some finessing but it can produce pretty good results.

    I haven't looked into is there's something better out there now however.

    [OC] A picture of the Andromeda galaxy I took

    I took this picture back in 2019. It's a composite of 10 exposures (I can't remember the exact exposure time but probably around a minute per exposure).

    Taken with a Canon 6D and Tamron 150-600mm on a tripod and star adventurer for tracking, no guiding.

    Here's a picture of the Orion nebulae I took [OC]
  • Yeah, it can be pretty expensive. Some tips:

    • figure out if you want a photography kit you can also use for astrophotography or something more dedicated to astrophotography like a telescope you can put a camera in.
    • camera equipment is a lot cheaper used.
    • A lot of deep space objects are most visible in infrared, a camera without IR filter can capture this but wont be much use for anything else.
    • the old astrophotography reddit is a great place to learn about equipment tradeoffs as all photos are posted with equipment details. Makes it easier to learn what you can realistically capture and what requires 10x your budget.
  • Perikjaure - kanske Sveriges vackraste sjö

    Här är en bild från Perikjaure i Sareks nationalpark jag tog under en vanding 2015. En av Sveriges vackraste sjöar tycker jag.

    Har ni någon egen favorit?

    If you have just a few grams left of a coffee

    Do you:

    • make a small cup with it
    • blend it with something else
    • buy more of the same
    • curse that you didn't use it earlier for a larger last cup

    Here's a picture of the Orion nebulae I took [OC]

    It was taken with a Canon 6D + Tamron 600mm lens on a star adventurer tracker with some active guiding via a guidescope camera. Pretty basic setup for astrophotography :)

    Är dessa pizzakartonger standard där ni köper pizza också?

    Hur länge har det varit "Ny kvalitet"? Är det lådan eller pizzan som avses?
