The amount of comments I got on my video quality once I set up my mirrorless with proper lights is insane. Nobody cares until they see someone with production quality video and they notice right away. It makes a difference. It's like i

A low end mirrorless camera is a fantastic webcam -- the only problem is it's clunky to set up that way especially on the software end. If you made one that's plug and play I would buy it.

I was thrilled to see Lumina and bought one. I unfortunately ended up having to returning due to a combination of buggy software and image quality that was no better than my laptop built in webcam. I really wanted to love it… but in practic

I am personally thrilled to see a company stand up to cancel culture and political employee activism. The ridiculous non-work related distractions from employee on various political crusades we've been seeing at many companies like Goo

That's complete BS. Swine flu was a full blown pandemic barely a decade a ago and HIV is still ongoing one.

Not counting the current ongoing pandemic, the last pandemic was 2009/10's swine flu pandemic, which went on to infect 20%+ of the world's population and kill 1M+.

>The idea to get rid of having to trust centralized organizations might sound tempting, but it doesn’t work: Blockchains don’t get rid of “trust”, they just change, who has to be trusted. I see this argument against crypto a lot. It&#x27

They tried that in 1989. Might want to look up what happened in Tiananmen Square.

For all intents and purposes, HK is not China. BioNTech shots were only available in HK, and not in mainland China, and data from HK's recent outbreak shows very clearly the Sinovac vaccine is an order of magnitude less effective than

Indeed, that was exactly the issue in Hong Kong and when the likelihood of having this happen in HK with the mandatory tests and rising cases started to skyrocket, that's when I left to go take refugee outside the madness. Ironically,

I mean, sure, among the parents. Plenty of people in Asia love relationships for the same reasons young people do in the West: sex, money, status, comfort, etc. -- without needing an end goal of launching families. The main difference is a

Sometimes, war is necessary and early action prevents a far worse outcome. You could argue that if Hitler had been dealt with earlier (e.g. when he invaded Poland), he would not have been able to get started causing such a rampage. But fear

My impression is the Shanghai govt isn't letting anyone leave.

It's not. Check the statistics in Hong Kong, where hardly anyone died of they were boosted with the BioNTech vaccine, vs almost all the deaths occurring in unvaccinated or Sinovac vaccinated people.

Why do I have to scroll down not one, but two whole window heights below the fold to be able to see the opening line of the article. What does an irrelevant sunset have to Wordpress? I think the author could take a few design cues from Paul

I've sat on a China Eastern jet (in first class) and gotten covid… and the flight was the more unpleasant of the two.

I don't think anyone is confusing the blueish plastic case of the moonswatch with the steel original ST105.012.

Luckily for me, I have an Apple watch I wear on special occasions only (if I go somewhere too shady to wear the real Omega, or in rough waters since my butterfly clasp is a little loose and has a tendency to come undone in water), and every

I think the point is that you're not paying for the branding, you're getting a watch with an Omega logo for 5% of what it'd normally cost you.

I'm a Seamaster guy (Aqua Terra 38mm w/ steel bracelet, blue dial, & date complication only). In my mind, this is _the_ perfect watch. It's classic and timeless, has the features you'd want with none of the over-the-

I didn't mean the entire image would be in focus, just that your subject would be clear. A faster aperture will let in more light, so you will not need as long an exposure to get the same amount of detail. It can make a meaningful diff

You're definitely going to get a better shot from a f/1.8 lens in low light than a cellphone camera, even vs night mode on iPhone. If you just set it on a stable surface you can take exposures >10" and have it come out cry

Lightroom has profile for most lenses, and given it knows which was used from EXIF data, applying the correct correction is all automatic.

Are you getting this to work straight to mobile? I use the crappy wifi share to get shots onto my phone on the go, but I'd much rather get the RAW files over vs. a downsampled JPEG if possible. Might be worth carrying a small USB-C to

I get away with Sony Imaging Edge on iPhone + Lightroom mobile to post to Instagram on the fly. It's only 2MP JPEG but it's good enough for on-the-fly Instagram stories.

My Sony full frame mirrorless can take multiple frames for HDR with the flip of a setting. I'm sure whatever you're using can too. Swap the shutter setting to turn on bracketing and decide what attribute you want to change (exposu
