Because it's not an individuals buying decisions harming those things? Those are the result of governments and corporations. I'm not going to buy a new phone today and it sounds like you probably won't either, I'll check

There is computational photography happening on cameras but I think it's mostly opt in features. Olympus and Panasonic can take 80–100MP shots by shifting the sensor a small amount and stitching multiple shots together. This can even b

My Yaesu FT65R is IP54 and FT5DR is IPX7. The Olympus OM1 is IP53 (only camera I can think of with an actual IP rating) and Pelican makes IPX7 flashlights. All of which have easily replaceable batteries.

That's the real issue I have with this article. I think it's possible to have a considered approach to an off the beaten path style of travel, but writing a "holier than thou" article about it doesn't seem like it t

I think you're just proving my point actually, being able to take photos doesn't make everyone an artist or every photo art. To take truly great photos you still need to understand basics like composition and lighting (just like i

Typing a prompt into DALLE does not take effort and it does not make you an artist. Don't kid yourself that the people generating art and submitting it to these sites are the same ones writing and training the AI.

That would make them considerably more dangerous for the driver. A roll bar will crack your skull if your head hits it and a 5 point harness will snap your neck. Race cars have them because drivers are also wearing HANS devices and helmets

RMNP has had a reservation system since the pandemic, which I hope they keep for this reason. Aside from Bear Lake the park hasn't been noticeably busier than others the handful of times I've gone since they started it

Mikrotik definitely doesn't have a flashy UI if that's what you care about, but the configuration for those things you list didn't seem all that different to ubiquiti's edge line from my research. Maybe I'm wrong, b

I suppose we don't really know, but I'd argue it's in their best business interest. No other major tech company seems interested and/or able to offer privacy, and Apple is well positioned to. It's a major competitiv

I'd probably be just as vocal as the pro-favicon people if they brought them back. I'm not a tab hoarder though.

It's great. They essentially have a monopoly on providing privacy, which is and will continue to be a bigger competitive advantage.

Is there a way to toggle focus of terminal.app via hotkey? Better battery life sounds nice, but I'd be lost without that feature. It's the main reason I use iTerm2 over terminal.
