'resolution' is usually used just to mean the number of pixels: nothing about how much ligh they capture or what sort of lens and processing.

It's not about better or worse, it's about trade offs. At small social media sizes pictures will look better from a phone than from an enthusiast camera. Sharpening is a destructive process and the appropriate amount depends on ho

Others have already explained, but many medium format camera systems were made to be modular long before the advent of digital. The viewfinder, lens, or the bit at the back which holds the film could all be hot swapped if you wanted to swit

They also specifically ask for people who made withdrawals. In a fraud like this, those who lost money often recover from the people who got out in time. Eg almost 90% of the losses from Bernie Madoff were recovered by suing those who innoc

Symmetric encryption should still be unbreakable even against quantum computers or any advances in prime numbers. Given we currently trust CAs they could switch to something like Kerberos.

Only saw the reply late. All enterprise features seem fully open source. Eg SSO is in the source at https://github.com/bitwarden/server/tree/master/bitwarden_li... Correction: that part of the source see

I don't think that's the issue - if you expect returns in a healthy economy to be below the cost of capital then we have bigger issues.

Generally most wine magazines don't publish the scores of the really bad stuff and the makers don't send it in for review. Most cellar tracker users also have fairly high average ratings, simply because they know what they like an

The DX codes on the edge of the film strip aren't as well known as canister DX codes but contain more information. They were very useful when I was scanning old negatives.

Clickbait perhaps, but I don't think The Register is especially right wing and they did put spyware in inverted commas, just like you did. The case also alleges that the app uploads emails and contact databases and doesn't provide

Whatever you think of the Kochs, their views are generally more libertarian than Republican, eg pro marijuana, anti Trump, David Koch was (inconsistently) pro abortion. So this policy is pretty typical for him.

The branded lenses are often expensive and therefore high margin, so most opticians will have them available, but few people order them so they are unlikely to mention their existence. As to which are best, you are best finding an independe

It seems hard to find a universal recommendation. I've heard good things about Arq although it didn't work well for me personally whereas ironically Duplicati did, although I'm currently using Restic.
