This one had a fair bit of success in America, they had popular cartoon in the mornings in the late 80s/early 90s. I think it was my first exposure to anime.

They have reels running on pixelfed.social (in the browser)

Or BBQ. A lot of veggies get a bad rap because the older generations just boiled everything.

Exactly. FDroid is a fraction of a percent of Android users. To get syncthing on your device you have to pass a lot of scary looking warnings on the way to get there. This is exactly what the monopoly trials were about.

Long story short they turn songs into digital fingerprints, where it can be stored in a tiny way. When you start recording you’re making a fingerprint as well. Then it just starts testing yours against its database.

Phone wouldn’t work for me, I’ve got a strict no phone around the TV rule for myself because I’m way too tempted to just use it instead of enjoying the thing I’m watching. Also wouldn’t really want to put an Xbox controller onto my wife or step mother.

I wish there was some kind of application you could run that would abstract all the mouse and keyboard interactions into a remote control friendly interface.

Anyway to do this without a keyboard. I used to have a PC connected to my TV for this but eventually just bought an apple tv for simplicity.

There’s a link in their Read Me on GitHub under the title about launching with Docker. Are you familiar with Docker?

Unsolicited messages and scam texts are the lowest of the low. I wouldn’t even put this in the same ballpark as advertising.

There isn’t a bump where the lens would come in contact with the table while it’s set down unless you have a case that makes it flush with the phone again.

Here’s some pictures from a Google Pixel 1. There’s a reason they never advertised low light handheld photos because you basically had to take 20 pictures of the same subject to get one that didn’t exhibit some kind of motion blur. Optical stabilization reduced all this dramatically.

They had to have large amounts of post processing to make up for the small sensor and relied on AI to clean up your image. Personally I always prefer to have good source images and leave upscaling as a last resort.

Phone thickness is definitely up for debate but as someone who takes a lot of photos, the cameras of todays phones are vastly better than the early ones.

Here’s some photos from my collection I found from that era.

I have a bunch of really good examples of pub nights but I don’t want to post anything with people in them.

Unless you had perfect lighting conditions they looked like ass. In order to fix the problems you see in these photos you need a combination of larger sensors, larger lenses and optical stabilization. All of which we’re bumping up against the limitations of physics.

Digital zoom is definitely not a replacement for optical zoom. Digital zoom is just cropping your photo on the fly, you might as well just do it yourself in post. Optical zoom retains the full sensor image. You can also modify focal length with optical zoom. I find myself lately standing further back and zooming in to get that background compression for more intimate shots that you get with a telephoto focal length.

Cameras on phones are getting good enough that I don’t find myself reaching for my SLR much anymore.

I like how the Pixel 6 (my current phone) handled the bump, just one long bar across the back. It doesn’t rock when you have it lying on a table and the bump actually slightly angles it towards your view. I wish there was more of that rather than the stove top bump on one side.

I don’t remember the exact location, we were on holiday in Rome. We were on our way to a restuarnt called “I Porchettoni” after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain. Looks like the restaurant is rebranded to Trattori Pigneto. It’s not far from here but I can’t seem to find the exact street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zaPqW2RCHkv8GYyE6

Avoid the Noid now sounds like a threat.

Literally every new pixel since the original has been “found” in a coffee shop

Not for file management but it’s handy for quick clean up

You’ll have to make a recording or something, not about to sign up for this

Just using Letterboxd decade filters gives a pretty good snapshot of the great cinema from each decade.

Yea I’ve looked at this stuff before. Usually the outages aren’t that long, more of an annoyance than a problem. I’ve got some UPSs around the house to keep the tech gear going, just looking for a cheap solution to the noise machine shutting off
