This is why I really appreciate YT channels like Project Farm.

Birding is one of those rare use-cases though where gear is pretty essential. Astrophotography is another area where better gear often does lead to better pictures. That being said, it still doesn't make up for the skill of knowing you

>The one actual professional (as in paid as main income) photographer I know doesn't talk about the technology or the brand of camera they use at all because it's mostly moot: it's the picture and getting paid that matters

I think it depends on the use case. Cameras are already downsizing, DSLRs are long dead and mirrorless are not just the future, they're now the present. I don't think size is the issue any longer. The purpose of using a "real

Don't Look Up was fantastic. I don't think there's another movie that more accurately portrays the absurdity of modern society.

>True but how often is the battery the issue in an enterprise environment? Biggest issue by far. We have a fleet of 100+ MacBooks in my office and expanded batteries are probably the only thing we have that goes wrong with them. They&#x2

Hard disagree. I work for a company of 5000+ users and we're full G-Suite now. We just went all in on Workspace. Previous two companies (650 users, 250 users), were also gull G-Suite.

An LDAP offering that competes with AD and integrates with OSX would be gigantic. I work in VFX where 95% of our hardware runs Linux, our laptops all Apple, and the only Windows machines being the accounting department, yet we still use AD

Well technically it is an Apple to Apple comparison in his case.

I know it's completely subjective, but I'm currently on a work provided 2018 mac with the 0.7mm travel and I despise it. I have far, far more typing errors on this keyboard than I do on pretty much anything else. I'm excited

Because it's a crap idea and design, I'll use a tablet if I want to poke at things. A touchscreen on a laptop is like driving a car with joysticks, it's not ergonomic. Also, Apple never does things half-assed, if they put a t

>In case of cameras there are sdcards that are wifi enabled, and also newer cameras should support wireless transfer - isn't that easier and faster instead of pulling out the card? No, because transferring 1TB+ of data from your cam

I'm very, very happy they haven't done this yet.

Photo/video import mostly. I don't feel like transferring 1TB of data over crappy built-in wifi chip on my camera or having to plug the camera in and have it act as a fancy card reader.

It's their marketing term for their HDR tech. The XDR displays are their flagship media productivity monitors. The new screens in the 14/16 inch MacBooks have "XDR" tech as well.

There's also a great VR implementation of OpenMW: https://gitlab.com/madsbuvi/openmw VR is such a great twist for replaying an old classic, but you have to mod a few things unless you enjoy swinging your arms at c

Thanks so much for the explanation and the example. I at least know a little more about these complicated endeavours now.

This is a great answer. Thank you. So in these situations how do you tell apart electrons from one source compared to another? In the article they mention how the LHC collides particles at a rate of "40 million times each second".

That makes sense. Thank you.

Can anyone informed and eager enough tell me how it's possible to measure something that only exists for "12 sextillionths of a second"? In my computer minded mode of thinking in sensors and clock cycles I can't imagine

PopOS is a great distro for people just hopping over and new to Linux. All the software and features most people want are there and easy to install, with even Steam/Gaming being just a click or two away.

I don't know if I agree with this. Not that you're wrong but I don't think it's the full picture. 15 years ago games were still largely physical. That $60 included the physical games, cases, manuals, distribution, wareho

What rank? I've felt a huge difference in competition at 2500+. 10k to 5k wasn't bad, but the moment 2500-3000 and consistent 300pp plays just to maintain it hit I felt the burn.

Well say goodbye to your life! I'm hundreds of hours in now and play 4 hours a week minimum.

This only works if there are equivalent choices without ads. We know from experience this is rarely the case. Choice is simply an illusion or a fantasy sold to people to placate them into accepting the current paradigm of business ad strate

That's fair. There's also some stories/movies that are absolutely critical to come into fresh. Shutter Island is the first one that comes to mind.
