> Opting out is still customer hostile if you ask me. That's debatable - I really dislike my own card issuer's implementation as they will ring me, rather than prompt for a OTP, which is a long process and not always convenient

I went to a Don Ross workshop once and there was a left handed player there doing the upside down RH guitar thing, which was especially impressive due to the style of music and having to play the bass notes with their pinky.

Oh bowling - I do that with both hands, equally bad at each (well, maybe slightly better with the left).

I'm of the generation that were forced to write with the right even though I was a natural lefty. I also broke my left arm when I was 2, which may have made things even more messed up. These days I: * Write with my right, my left i

This might also be that DJI have owned Hasselblad for a while now, so they're sort of already in that space and Fuji don't want them to dominate it [too much]. Fuji's high resolution offerings are superior to Hasselblad'
