That's not how Japanese immigration or prosecution work. What law or immigration requirement would he be breaking? Also, tons of people have been saying that for months, both native and foreign.

I doubt there's much overlap in people who have so little human contact that no one knows they're dead and people who catch viruses that are still present in only a tiny fraction of the population. Oh, and a third condition that t

It’s not just the look of the larger aperture and longer focal lengths, The sharpness is abysmal. I can’t stand that watercolor look that every smartphone photo has. Also dynamic range, but that’s much easier to fake.

I sync all my photos to my phone, even those I took with my camera, and whenever I show people photos on my phone they always notice immediately, even in thumbnail size. “You took that on your phone!?” No, definitely not, I just synced it t

I don’t think that’s lost in photography today; more people than ever know that and get to experience it thanks to the amazing DSLR and mirrorless ecosystems available. The people that think smartphone photos are good enough are the people

I think it is the best four years of life for many (maybe most?) Americans at least. But I think that speaks to exactly what people are saying in this thread. It's not about education anymore, it's evolved into a four-year time-of

Nintendo's game development is the exact opposite of lazy. They spend insane amounts of attention and manpower on the fine details. That's exactly how they keep succeeding despite lower power, poor cloud services, etc.

I completely agree. Maybe it's shallow but I could not muster any interest in the original hamburger DS, but as soon as I saw the Lite I wanted one. And I still love that design language and feel, especially in Crystal White. It's

Are there any tools that make this easy (i.e. not manually editing the binary)?

I think vidstab is the only option for ffmpeg and it doesn't seem that great. I recently compared it to Premiere and Premiere was quite a bit better. I would also love a top tier option in ffmpeg.

I can almost guarantee Nintendo did not use a downloaded ROM. I don’t have direct experience with how the ROMs are sourced, so it’s not 100%, but I worked on a team handling emulation at Nintendo and can say the processes are incredibly car

Yes! This is the best interface for checking time zones and I've always wondered why it's not more common.

I tried the beta and thought it was neat for the first 30 seconds and super annoying for the next ten minutes. I haven’t tried to do anything serious with it yet. It definitely makes it feel choppy when trying to move around the screen and

Ryzen would probably not be worth it if your time is money, but if you build a basic Intel Hackintosh with known compatible parts, you could probably do it in a day (assuming first time; much faster if you have experience).

I’m around the same with 140,000 photos and it works fine day-to-day. I think they fixed the performance issues a few years ago. However, there are two gotchas: I can’t open the photo library from other apps on iOS; it hangs forever. So I h
