Hi!

I’m not a professional photographer, but I’d like to get started in photography in my free time.

I’d like to know which lenses you’d recommend (I know it depends on what I want to use it for). But I’m looking for brands compatible with my camera, and I’d like to hear about the kinds of photos you like, so I can get some ideas and learn what I like and don’t like, etc.

Like I said, I know very little about photography and only take photos as keepsakes, but I want to get started with natural and urban landscape photography.

Thanks!!

Hello,

I'm a computer engineering student, and I'd like to improve my study habits.

I always see a lot of people studying using different techniques that don't work for me, and I end up feeling overwhelmed.

How do you study for your degree?

What process do you follow?

What are your results?

Thanks!

Hi!

I've been using GoodNotes for a year now, and I keep running into bugs; my iPad overheats, and on top of that, they only release AI updates.

I paid for the lifetime Special Edition, but I'm realizing that was a mistake, because it just keeps getting worse.

I'm looking into alternatives for taking notes for college.

I’ve seen Noteful (which someone recommended to me), what do you guys think?

Freenotes doesn’t look too bad either, right?

Thanks!

Hi there!

I've noticed that my iPad gets hot when I use GoodNotes.

I use GoodNotes most of the time because I'm in college, and it's true that I spend 90% of my time using the app.

My iPad is running iPadOS 26.6, and I have an 11-inch iPad Air with an M3 chip. It’s only been in use for a year, and this has been happening for several months now. As soon as I close the app, the iPad cools down.

It gets so hot that the screen dims on its own and goes into sleep mode due to overheating.

I’ll say it again: this doesn’t happen with any other app.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Thanks!

Does this happen to anyone else? I need to hear your opinions because this is the only app where this happens to me

Buenas!

Os cuento mi situación.

Tenia una pareja, estabamos prometidos, sin hijos.

Yo me compré un piso sola, haciendome cargo de todos los gastos (hipoteca, gastos agua, gas, internet, etc, porque así lo quise yo) y mi pareja (ahora ex), me pagaba por bizum mediante una cuenta revolut unos 300€ para gastos como comida, muebles nuevos (cambiamos un par de muebles de la casa), pero nada relacionado con la hipoteca. Lo hicimos así porque él no tenia ahorros y yo quería que ahorrara para que él pudiera comprarse un piso para él, no por nada sino porque él siempre quiso su propio piso y soy de las personas que piensan que todo el mundo debería tener un piso, aunque se viva en pareja.

Bueno, volviendo al tema, en revolut teniamos una cuenta conjunta donde el metia esos 300€ (yo metia unos 100€ porque ya pagaba el piso) que usabamos para comprar comida, cosas para la casa, viajes, gasolina, lo que fuera.

Hace un par de meses nos separamos por desacuerdos personales y como él no tiene a sus padres aquí (viven en otra comunidad autónoma), se tuvo que ir de alquiler pero me dijo que como aportó al piso ahora quiere llegar a un acuerdo porque mitad del piso es suyo, amenazandome con echarme de mi propia casa.

Yo sé que no es posible, porque el piso lo he pagado yo plenamente mediante otro banco que no es revolut, y porque el solo aportó a los viveres y para algunos muebles (que por mi, se puede llevar).

Me amenaza cada día con denunciarme y le he dicho que se puede llevar los muebles pero que el piso es mio.

Ahora ha metido a su amigo "abogado" (no ha terminado la carrera) y me estoy asustando y agobiando porque son muy insistentes...

Que puedo hacer? Debería contactar un abogado para esto?

Gracias!

Buenas!

Os cuento un poco mi situación. Tengo 29 años y llevo 4 trabajando. Hice un grado superior y acabé trabajando de lo mio.

Actualmente estoy estudiando también en la universidad a distancia.

Trabajar y estudiar es lo peor que me ha pasado. Me explico: tengo un horario de 8 a 5 de la tarde (llego a casa a las 6pm porque tengo 1h de viaje hasta el trabajo. Me levanto a las 6:30am para poder desayunar, vestirme/arreglarme y salir con tiempo de casa). Y después tengo clases en la uni, o tengo que estudiar, ya sean cosas del trabajo o cosas de la uni. Solo tengo 3-4 asignaturas por año. Pero esto me esta consumiendo. Debo destacar que es una ingeniería informática y que trabajo de lo mismo, así que nunca despejo la mente del ambito laboral/educativo.

Tengo una pareja que puedo ver todos los dias, pero también quiero dedicarle tiempo unica y exclusivamente a él. Y también quiero dedicarme tiempo a mi y a mis aficiones y a mis padres mayores (no siempre estaran aquí).

Mis metodos de estudio son sencillos, dedico 2h cada día y casi toda la tarde los fines de semana (por las mañanas voy a hacer deporte sin excepción), excepto días especiales cada dos semanas donde me los tomo de pleno descanso.

Aún así, estoy saturada. Llegar del trabajo, estudiar, a veces asignaturas complejas, otras veces mas fáciles, dedicar tiempo a familia amigos, pareja...olvidar los enfados, estrés y agobio del trabajo (a veces no se puede) o los personales y encima tener que concentrarte para estudiar alguna cosa de la uni o del trabajo.

No sé si no me planteo bien la carrera, si me falta tiempo, si necesito terapia, si necesito vacaciones o si quiero dormir 56h seguidas.

Una ayudita?? Gracias!!

Anoche me leí El extranjero de Albert Camus. Un clasico de 1942.

El libro me angustió totalmente. Me gustaría saber vuestras opiniones.

¿Que opinasteis de la parte primera de la novela? A mi casi me angustió mas que la segunda. El sentimiento de soledad, la tristeza que emanaba en sus actos, tan pasota cuando ve a su alrededor la barbarie de la sociedad, tan frío, tan en contra de lo establecido pero haciendo tan poco por mejorarlo o cambiarlo. La sensación de que estaba en una caja de la que no podía salir pero le daba igual.

La segunda parte narra muy bien la idea de que, a pesar de ser culpable por el asesinato del árabe, se le juzge mas por llevar a su madre a una residencia y no llorar su muete como socialmente se establece antes que por asesino.

Me angustió mucho porque realmente siento que a veces vivimos así de vacíos.

Espero vuestras opiniones!!!

Buenas!

Me gustaría poder aprender sobre finanzas para poder llevar mi hogar con cierto control de gastos y saber en qué invertir o no.

Me mudo dentro de un mes de casa y quiero empezar de 0 con este asunto porque tengo la sensación de que no se nada sobre gestionar dinero, finanzas o cosas así. Será mi primera vez viviendo solo.

Mis únicos gastos hasta ahora eran el gimnasio y los estudios.

Garcias!!

¿Que me recomendais leer/ver o aprender?

Gracias!

Hi!

I’m a 29-year-old looking to advance my career and move from network administrator to network engineer.

I have three (almost four) years of experience in networking, and although I haven’t yet specialized in any specific area, I want to focus my career on cloud computing and security.

I hold CCNA, CCNP, and AZ-700 certifications.

I’d like to know how I can improve in this field and what you recommend I do (courses, certifications, etc.).

I have a plan, but I’d like to hear your advice so I can get organized and start moving toward my goal step by step.

Thanks!

Soy aficionado a la fotografía. Visto el próximo eclipse solar, he estado estudiando un poco los filtros solares para poder realizar alguna que otra fotografía. Utilizaré el Objetivo EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM. No tengo otro de momento (estoy ahorrando y mi presupuesto seguirá siendo limitado para agosto)

He visto para comprar varios filtros en lamina para poder realizar mi propio filtro, y he encontrado uno en Amazon. "Absolute Eclipse Filtro Solar para Telescopio, Prismáticos y Cámara | Lámina Solar DIY para Eclipse, Manchas y Fotografía del Sol | OD 5.6 | Probada ISO 12312-2 | 210 x 210 mm"

Que opináis de esta lamina? Me recomendaríais otra marca?

Gracias de antemano!

Hello,

I'm an amateur photographer. With the upcoming solar eclipse coming up, I've been doing a little research on solar filters so I can take a few photos. I'll be using the EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM lens. I don't have any others right now (I'm saving up, and my budget will still be limited in August).

I’ve been looking into buying several filter sheets so I can make my own filter, and I found one on Amazon: “Absolute Eclipse Solar Filter for Telescopes, Binoculars, and Cameras | DIY Solar Filter Sheet for Eclipses, Sunspots, and Solar Photography | OD 5.6 | ISO 12312-2 Tested | 210 x 210 mm”

What do you think of this filter sheet? Would you recommend another brand?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm a computer engineering student, and I'm also working. I've enrolled in an online university program. Even though I've only taken three courses this year, things haven't gone very well for me.

I can’t seem to concentrate or get organized to study. I also feel veeeery uncomfortable in my room and I feel really nervous in general. I can't stop waking up, moving around, and sleeping poorly... I feel like my mind is on something else. I don't have any more problems than any other functional adult might have. I have a job, I'm paid well, and I own my own home. In other words, I don't have any financial problems, family problems, or relationship problems. I don't have any children, so I don't have that added “"""problem."""”

When I study, I use my setup with a laptop and three monitors (the same ones I use for work), a comfortable chair, and even though my desk is small, it's not uncomfortable.

To write, I use traditional notebooks and a tablet. I take notes in GoodNotes and Notion to stay organized, in addition to Google Calendar.

I structure my study sessions into 30-min or 1-hour blocks, with a 10-min or 5-minute break between each block.

I usually get off work at 6:00 PM, so I study from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and I tried from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM.

I balance this with hobbies, my partner, family, and friends. I also take a week-long vacation every 4–5 months, if my job allows it.

I have periods when I study a lot, but others when I don't study at all (and those tend to be the times when I'm feeling down or either tired or just mentally exhausted (I think it's also because I don't feel fulfilled). Because I generally have so little time to study, and my schedule is so tight, my time is precious...

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I know I'm doing something wrong and that it's going to come back to haunt me...

What do you guys do to concentrate or get organized?

I need some tips...

Thanks!

After living with the herpes virus in my mouth for 29 years, and feeling desperate because my outbreaks would last for weeks (once I had a cold sore for two months—it was horrible), I discovered something I want to share.

After my last month-long outbreak, I went to the doctor, and he prescribed acyclovir tablets. I didn’t take it because the outbreak was in its final stages, and I decided to wait for the next one, so I did some research.

I found that L-lysine can help control outbreaks dramatically, as well as a diet that reduces the amount of arginine in our bodies (herpes feeds on arginine).

I'm Spanish, so I'm not sure how accessible or suitable my recommendations are for everyone ( it depends a lot on the climate too—whether your city is very humid or dry—or even on your body's stress levels).

I suffer from chronic anxiety, which doesn't help my herpes. I also bite my lips a lot and end up with tiny cuts all over the place.

My recommendation that changed my life:

- Take Solgar L-Lysine on an empty stomach.

- 1500 mg during a flare-up (the first day you notice stinging, tingling, pain, etc.): 1000 mg in the morning upon waking, 1000 mg around 10 a.m., and 500 mg before bed.

- 500 mg every morning if there is no outbreak, so your body can get used to it and prevent an outbreak.

- YOGURT!!!! PLAIN yogurt is incredibly rich in lysine. Eating two a day, with lunch and dinner, helped me a lot in keeping my herpes outbreak to just three days.

- Acyclovir / Zovicream: Applying anti-herpes ointment also helped me a lot, obv.

- SPF 50 sunscreen on my lips: Applying SPF 50 creams from a brand like Neutrogena or other SPF 50 lip balms on sunny days or during the summer helped prevent the sun—herpes’ biggest ally—from fueling its growth.

- Keep your lips moisturized at all times, but BE CAREFUL! Not damp, but moisturized. Herpes loves moisture; I use oil-based lip balms. Example: Cicaplast (5% panthenol + MP-Lipides, Atoderm Baume Levrés or Avene Cicalfate +.

- Tea tree oil: I know this might be a bit much, but sometimes applying tea tree oil directly to an open cold sore really helps kill the virus. Tea tree oil can burn your lips, so apply a small amount with a cotton swab. It has a strong smell and may sting, but if you're desperate, it helps. Above all, remember that it can leave a small mark on your lip, like a scar, for a long time (1-2 weeks); obviously, you shouldn't swallow it or drink it. That mark can be removed with 100% pure rosehip oil.

- Valerian for sleep: Valerian Forte for sleep is amazing—it really helps calm those nerves that trigger my herpes.

And: STOP BITING YOUR LIPS. That's the main thing. Washing your hands and not touching your lips with dirty hands also helps.

These are things that help keep my cold sores to just three days!

I hope this helps you!!
