Good idea, thank you. A DVD and SD card it is then!

Yes! Spotify is making a fortune streaming awful quality audio!

Yes. I have Nikons and Lumix cameras and I can tell you the difference between the outputs from small sensors to larger sensors and full frame, and iPhone and phone camera output. For audio it is more difficult. I used to work at a signal p

I get this feeling with C#. I have been here since its release. I looked at Swift and then they moved very quickly at the beginning, so the book I had to teach me was out of date moments after it was printed. With all the complexity being t

I did spend some time getting some LLM to write a generator (in C++) of a scribus XML file for automatic layout, but it wasn't effective. I need to get back to looking at that, as it would be very useful. As my photos range in aspect r

Thank you for the info and program!

I am starting to do this with actual physical books. I have thousands of photos going back over my life, and I am putting them together in Scribus to then go and print a physical book for each year or event or holiday along with some releva

Sadly I look back on the Frontpage times with increasingly fondness, since at least it produced usable, quick-loading HTML sites instead of today's megabytes of pointless javascript.

I looked at the architecture.pdf and it made zero sense. It was a lot of buzzwords. I am honestly confused.

Bring back C strings in all software! And divide by zero! The world would be a safer place.

This is a genius move. My wife should start doing that with emails from her boss who sends AI-generated emails and instructions to her.

Thank you for this. I downloaded the program, but am I right in that it does some processing on the RAW files as it imports them so that they're effectively in a mostly "finished" state? At the moment I'm using SilkyPix

Yes, me too. I have a photographic memory that is getting worse with age. I remember things vividly but have no emotional attachment to the memory, and memories of myself doing things are in the third person so I can't seem to "en

Yes I agree completely. I am baffled why they choose that license in the first place. It just seems to engender drama when people actually follow the license they've chosen! Perhaps open source is actually powered by drama, where devel

I have done the same, but your website is really nice! And your photos are lovely. I like how you've indicated which cameras and gear you use for certain trips. That 600mm Sony lens must be fun to carry around. I used to have a Tamron

Thanks for making me feel old. I remember reading slashdot a lot and also freshmeat.net to find new interesting software. I don't think I like the modern software experience, by comparison. It's all shoddy rehashing of the client&

I think that's because in general shipping in the UK became incredibly expensive during and after COVID, and never ever went down again. Coupled with Brexit, shipping companies all pushed their prices up en masse for no apparent reason

Being older, I remember homework involving a trip to the library to look through lots of books for 1 tiny bit of information needed for the homework. For IT-related info, dial-up was expensive, and finding things either involved altavista o

Very clever and quite frightening. Well done. Personally I like using LLMs for getting information (not chat) or solving problems, and I like the fact it's text and I can read it quicker than a normal conversation, and don't need

I used OrganicMaps for navigation from the UK through France, Germany, Switzerland, back into France and then Spain last year on a 2 week enjoyable camper van trip. It can take a while for routing changes if you ignore it and decide to driv

Insanity. Did they somehow not support normal Bluetooth connection??

by 72deluxe 8mo ago
I like Organic Maps because it isn't full of the social things. Every time I open Google Maps it shows that card at the bottom with "what's popular in your area", full of pictures of people's breakfasts and other no

It really has a "login" button that doesn't log in? Does it mean "take the action of going through the door once you have got the key via the connection code man"?

With the lack of polish and attention to detail I see in Tahoe, I for one am really glad I stayed on Sequoia! They need a "Snow Leopard" release - zero new features, hundreds of bug fixes. I guess it's why they built the new

wxWidgets has sizers where elements sit inside them and grow/shrink as necessary. Amusingly the macOS version is based on Cocoa, which I presume Finder is also based on...

I am of the same opinion watching them attempt to use modern UIs. When Windows 3.11 was released, it came with a manual that told you how everything worked, and how to interact with it. Windows 95 was also exceptionally logical. The modern

In wxWidgets you use sizers, so you don't work on pixel-level alignments. I can understand if you're using an ancient framework like MFC, but even then I seem to recall there was a sizer equivalent system (or it is easy enough to

But desktop C++ isn't difficult or slow to write... It seems odd to me that the software world has gone in the direction of "quick to write - slow to run". It should be the other way around. Things of quality (eg. paintings b

There are lots of threats to all human beings on the planet. You are simply taking the view that the thing you personally see as the biggest threat is therefore the thing that everyone else should see as the biggest threat (they won't)

I used wxWidgets to build a native GUI for Windows + Mac 10+ years ago and implemented all GUI-drawing (it was an audio signal processor control software so included meters, faders, knobs, audio spectrum and I even incorporated Horde3D Open
