GOOD. There shouldn't even be a question about this. I have family members who would have died if the current state of abortion bullshit in the US had been a thing. All these fucks voting out protections THEY ENJOYED their entire repro

This line of logic is more frightening to me than actual AI. LLMs are really useful in a lot of scenarios but it takes 5 minutes playing with one to see that it isn't intelligent. But since you are the type of person who is seemingly u

Oh wow. The Goodyear Plant must be the one in Gadsden AL which is my home town. I would love to hear what they think of the advances in technology from when they started till now; on the software side: which machine series they liked dealin

Depends. The DNG/Raw photos you can force out of gcam will sorta have the noise. Less processing /sorta/. HDR+ with gcam is going to be exceptionally "touched" no matter what. You can modify the camera drivers etc o

Iirc the chevy volt only lets you use around 60% of the battery pack under normal conditions. Love my volt. 104K miles, 10 years old, no signs of battery performance degredation yet. My last volt had 156k and same age and same performance (

Log does improve things a lot. Being able to do proper 10bit/14bit+ video recording is also a bonus. But you have had the ability to use various color spaces and various non-linear recording formats for awhile on various devices (multi

Dunno why you are getting downvoted. That was my exact reaction, too. Given how often they "promise" something and then renege in 3 years.

Do you have yours upgraded to the japanese g3 240mhz? (Or any g3?). Curious about how it performs. Have you run BSD or anything on it or just classic macos?

I've worn out multiple SSDs. But wearing them out isnt the only issue with soldered on planned obsolescence BS. The real issue is parts like SSDs can just up and fail. And now you have a ticking time bomb in a machine that could otherw

Yeah, I didn't realize there were only 20 until I hit 20 and it didn't give me any more shapes :( I thoroughly enjoyed the ~20 minutes it gave me lol. I need more.

I had a toshiba T3100 laptop that was impossibly finicky about what OS it would run (I only sold it off to a collector finally a few years ago). After hundreds of hours of attempts I managed to get FreeDOS 0.4b to boot up successfully off a
