Which search engine do you use for what? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Kagi. Once you try it you'll never go back.

Protection filter/UV filter for risky environments (lemmy.ml)
 

What do folks consider the best filter to protect the 12-40mm 2.8 Pro and mark II in risky environments, like the beach, dusty environments etc? Is there a go to recommendation?

I'm looking for an ultra thin one that won't cause vignetting and doesn't degrade image quality.

Thanks.

Update: "How do people find micro four thirds for wildlife photography?" in c/m43@lemmy.ca

Glad it still scratches that itch, and that you weren't put off a few years back by the response to your last post. All the doom mongering about the death of M43 almost made me go Nikon when I was buying into a new system this year, but the OM-1 II just felt right. I had no idea Olympus/OM gear was hard to find in Australia, I wonder why?

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. I used to shoot Fuji and sold up and bought the OM-1 II. Just having a camera with good autofocus is so refreshing. I loved and hated my X-T1, much as I loved and hated my favourite lens for the system, the 35mm 1.4.

What do you think of the Lumix G9 II? in c/m43@lemmy.ca
[–] AnAnonymousApe@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd stick with the OM-5 and wait to see what the rest of 2026/early 2027 brings, I imagine we might see a new small camera from OM or Panasonic. If not, have you considered the OM-3?

It'a a great camera but it felt too bulky to me, especially for M43 and I didn't need the advanced video features, so I went with the OM-1 II instead. I also liked the OM-5 II and almost went with that. What do you shoot, if you don't need anymore than what the OM-5 II provides, that is a great size.

What a bargain that gem was!

The first game I ever bought, was the still absolutely brilliant, 1997 Blade Runner point and click made by Westwood Studios. Still one of my favourite games ever. I was 12 when I bought it.

Very interesting development, thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing this will turn out to be wrong, like the other times they apparently detected it. Would be very cool if true though.

SurfShark, why is it a bad VPN? (lemmy.ml)
 

I hope this question is OK to ask?

I've seen SurfShark get a lot of hate from privacy communities both on here an Reddit, and I'm wondering what makes it so bad in people's eyes. I'm asking as I currnet user of the service who is weighing up his options as my sub will be up soon.

Thanks.

'The Gentle Art of Tramping': Chapter 6 - The Companion (www.audible.co.uk)
 

This is literally my favourite chapter of any audiobook. If you love the outdoors, then I challenge you to find a more life affirming, heart warming call to spend a night under the stars.

Audiobooks like BBC's Roger Deakin Nature Collection, where both the narrator and their environment are recorded. (www.audible.co.uk)
 

I love listening to audiobooks about nature, the environment, climate, hiking etc. One of my favourites is 'Roger Deakin: A BBC Nature Collection', specifically 'Cigarette on the Waveney', 'The House' and 'The Garden', as they are narrated by Roger himself and the recordings capture the environment Roger is in not just his voice.

Are there other audiobooks recorded in this way that are worth listening to?

Thanks for your help.

New game from original creators of The Elder Scrolls has almost been backed on Kickstarter. (lemmy.ml)
 

This new project from some of the folks who worked on the first 3 Elder Scrolls games looks great. It looks certain to be backed as well as it's already at 99% on Kickstarter with a couple more weeks to go.

Xbox Cloud Gaming Beta - Why is my latest save never synced? (lemmy.ml)
 

Is there a place on the Xbox or elsewhere where I can see the sync status of my saves, or better yet, is there a option for me to choose to sync certain saves?

I ask as my latest save game is never synced when I come to use Xbox Cloud Gaming, making it utterly fuckin' useless. I even tried leaving my Xbox on for 20 minutes after saving, in the hope that if left doing nothing it would sync my saves, but nope. If I only wanted to play random old saves it would be fine, but that's hardly the point of this service I imagine.

Is this service still in beta because is doesn't work well?

For reference my Xbox and the device I'm attempting to stream on are both connected to via Wi-Fi to my 515Mb down 75Mb up broadband connection.

Moving away from Surfshark (lemmy.ml)
 

My Surfshark sub is almost up and I'm looking for my best option.

I'm so glad this little community has popped up, as looking for reviews on Reddit and elsewhere online is next to impossible, since every review is simply an ad in disguise.

I need a VPN primarily for streaming, so need it to be fast, and obviously security and privacy are key concerns too.

I've narrowed down my choices to Mullvad, Proton or sticking with Surfshark. Surfshark has been ok, but I assumed there must be better out there.

What are everyone's thoughts on the best performing service at the moment?

Thanks.

Does anyone know why a website may not work in LibreWolf? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm testing LibreWolf with a view to moving to it from Chrome, but I've noticed some websites don't work, for example: https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/

Does anyone know why this may be?

Thanks.

Has anyone used the Palit Jetstream RTX 4080? (www.palit.com)
 

I see the Palit Jetstream RTX 4080 is the cheapest 4080, and I'm wondering if anyone has experience of it? Have they cut corners to make it this cheap, and is it still a solid card? Thanks.

Lemmy apps don't appear to work well with Lemmy.world (lemmy.ml)
 

When I started using Lemmy I joined Lemmy.world and downloaded several Lemmy apps, to find one I liked. After a short while, the apps seemingly became incompatible with Lemmy.world and refuse to display the communities I'd joined, or show any content on the main page of the app if I selected Subscribed rather than Local or All. I also couldn't see posts I knew to be there in some communities. Due to these issues I tried Lemmy.ml and fortunately it doesn't suffer from these problems when using the apps. What's going on? Is Lemmy.world broken?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
