Technically you can run any android APK on a Sony camera. It's just the supported API version is old and many things might not work https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE

I wish there was an external usb-c video/stills camera module that would work with smartphones and still fit in your pocket. Something the size of a matchbox. Just the sensor (and maybe fast storage) on the camera module, everything e

This is a real pain. And the fact camera OS are mostly proprietary walled gardens means others can't add these simple features either. For Sony cameras, the fact they can run android .apk's allows some workarounds for jpg/raw

I only user Reddit a few times a month, specific focused subreddits, but find it invaluable for hive mind opinion/debate without product shilling (which is all you get on Google or Youtube). Reddit is great. It reminds me of Usenet bac

Indeed! Wonder why Jarkko Oikarinen (and others) semi-abandoned the project. With a little bit of a makeover it could have rivalled Slack, Whatsapp etc

Good idea. Are the articles teaching how to use your software to solve an issue people have, or do you just mention/link to the the software in the end of the article?

You can, Red Epic does it with what they call HDRx, Magic Lantern does it with Dual ISO, zcam E2 do it with WDR - all more or less the same things - you take two exposures for every frame. Doesn't always work for fast action, but for

I loved Marc Levoy's presentation. I wonder why no video improvements though - dynamic range is so important in a camera, why limit it to just photos? 10bit h265 would be nice, perhaps with some of that hdr+ tonemapping. Would have bee

Had the same issue initially. Called Apple support who debugged it via remote desktop. Turns out Sidecar uses iCloud for handshake between the two devices (god knows why), and for some reason requires 2FA on iCloud to be turned on for both

I think defined benefit schemes will be all changed to defined contributions schemes, for this reason - people live too long. Minimum retirement age will also keep getting adjusted. Most private sector pensions in the UK are already DC sche

The reason Tesla bought Maxwell isn't ultracapacitors, but their solventless dry electrode tech for making better and cheaper li-ion batteries. Higher energy density, no cobalt needed, cheaper/faster battery production. Recommend

Fasting was extensively researched in Soviet Russia as a potential cure for many ailments, from auto-immune diseases to mental illness. Tens of thousands of people were treated with 14-40 day water fasts (under constant supervision and test

it does actually look like you can sponsor projects too already, but the payments are not handled by github in those instances, it just links off to another patreon style provider - for example https://github.com/react-sprin

And on the flip side, it would be interesting to have better tools of distributing the funds collected in this way. Ie. how to best allocate the funds between the FOSS project participants/contributors. Who decides where the funds get
