@caroga I was/am, don't use it though. I'll probably be posting stuff here and on instagram if I do post things anywhere.

@caroga [at]brunty on Vero if I do start posting there, just threw a few 35mm film photos up there from a couple of months ago

@caroga It's a lot lighter than the 7d, but once this lens is on it's still weighty (the lens is about 900g itself)

No results yet, haven't had the chance to go out with it. I might try and get out tomorrow a little in the city with it as I have a free day!

That's the Tamron 24-70 f2.8 Canon EF lens with a Canon EF-RF adapter to make it fit this camera (there's no 3rd party RF lenses yet and Canon glass is ££££)

Modern cameras have so many options on them compared to my old DSLR! 😂

@caroga the adapter is the Canon official one and it's solid. No movement, great fit, apart from the extra length needed to make EF work with RF it's like it's not even there.

I love my nifty fifty, much lighter with just that and the adapter on, hah!

Lemme go weigh it and let you know shortly :P

@ocramius @david_whitney is all-round awesome and that talk is 10/10

Also talking about supply chain attacks for abandoned / languishing popular packages feels extra relevant given recent events!

@sally I love that hornED viper is a thing with the pretentious symbols replacing the letters from earlier seasons.

More things need silly names!

I even found my old iPod classic and I've sent it off to have an SSD and new battery put in it so I can use it for just music.

I have Spotify and my phone, but a device that's offline and only for music feels like a nice thing right now.

@dantleech I've had surprisingly good luck with BT headphones, my airpods are always in my pocket.

But something about that iPod and a set of wired headphones brings back a feeling of comfortable nostalgia :)

@PurpleBooth Happy to help with specs for a budget to pick balanced parts!

Consider the games you’re playing, the resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, whether you want to use things like NVENC encoding for streaming, or DLSS for upscaling (which is v good these days)

The building part really hasn’t changed much in decades. If anything it’s easier now with cases that provide much better building experiences.

@PurpleBooth I just specced up this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/vms4kJ

The 7900X3D is only £20 more expensive but better in games (but not as good elsewhere sometimes)

I did prices in £ and it has a 4080 Super which could be dropped to a 4070 Ti Super and would still do very well

@PurpleBooth (and with Windows, go get a key from a key site if you want, you can save €100+ doing it that way)

@PurpleBooth And look for offers on NVMe drives as you can sometimes find 2TB for around 100 and 4TB for a little under 200

@PurpleBooth what you had in your list was a good choice, last-gen Ryzen parts are quite cheap now and it's still an option!
