  • Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.

  • I'm pointing out that alternatives exist, and they are decent alternatives.

    And I'm pointing out that those alternatives in practicality are not even close. Suggesting a hobby project out of the blue when OP is not even asking for it (and even claiming that they are comparable) is just dumb.

    Capturing a photo of a bullet that's been slowing down for 300 meters is not a great technical feat.

    You just missed my point about the 1.6MP elephant in the room. And that's just ignoring every other camera feature used to take the shot, which you would have to manually dial in with your rpi camera. You are simply not going to do that in the chaos.

  • I've only used Raspberry Pi based systems with manual focus.

    Well that's certainly a problem, isn't it? You don't know what OP does with their camera, if it's a hobby or for a living. Go try suggesting building a RPi camera kit to sports photographers, see if they give a fuck about it.

    Depth of field is a property of the lens, not the sensor.

    DoF has everything to do with sensor SIZE. You are simply never going to get the level of shallow depth of field with tiny sensors compared to even M43 or bigger sensors. You are simply never going to get the ISO performances or dynamic range of a bigger sensor because the photosites are just physically huge compared to those in phone camera sensors. Even a cheap old 12MP DSLR is going to destroy the images quality coming out of the best 64MP rpi camera kit, not even a question. And not to mention all the other functions a modern camera has, like weather sealing, subject detect autofocus, auto white balance, color science, image stabilization, etc.

    Sensors: if you want to take pictures in starlight, you can get IMX585 (hard due to market problems). If you want lots of pixels, 64 M is not a problem. If you want to photograph a bullet, you can get the low-pixel global shutter sensor, there is code around to take video at 500 fps (disclaimer: tiny video, extreme light level required).

    I count 3 different sensors for each scenario now, and you even know their downsides. What makes you think OP is willing to deal with these? The global shutter sensor is a 1.6MP sensor. Yeah, that absolutely can replace the gear that captured the photo of the bullet whizzing by Trump and won the Pulitzer prize.

  • Yes, the depth of field and image quality the camera kit sensors and lenses produce sure can match those produced by full frame sensors and lenses. And fuck Canon's industry leading autofocus, OP can write their own autofocus algorithm too!

  • Switch users say Virtual Game Cards are a "downgrade" as online game sharing changes

    Jump

  • Well TBF, it was a loophole. Not surprised they patched it out.

  • Switch users say Virtual Game Cards are a "downgrade" as online game sharing changes

    Jump

  • Previously, a Switch designated as a primary console could load up a digital game and play online alongside the owner of that game logged in via a second Switch.

    I'm under the impression that the old method is still available, so you could still use this "trick" to play the same copy on two devices.

    There's a NintendoLife article detailing how to perform the loophole

    However, there is a loophole that will let you play the same game on two Switches. To do so, head into the 'User' section of the System Settings and select your profile. Then, head down to Online License Settings and turn it on.This allows you to play digital games whilst connected to the internet, even if the relevant Virtual Game Card is loaded onto another system.

  • Are you a fan of podcasts? If so, which ones would you recommend?

    • Red Flags Pod: F1 Podcast with sister show Vankah Hours starring Gunther Steiner as a third co-host.
    • Hyperfixed: Show where Alex Goldman tries to solve a problem an audience sent in, no matter what the topic is.

  • What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?

    Jump

  • It would, but it also probably would be a bad idea to do so. How many people would come back for a part 2 of a documentary film? I think not a lot.

    Jump

  • Not necessarily hate, but did not like as much as the rest of the internet: Oppenheimer

    The moment I left the theater, I thought it should have been longer. Yes, I think an already 3hr film should be even longer. Just torture the audience at this point. But I thought that there was just so much stuff to cram into that 3hr length, there was not enough room for the story to breath, even if those stories were needed to paint a better picture of Oppenheimer's life, morals, and conflicts.

    I'd still recommend it to people. If anything, it's still a visually well directed film. But if you aren't a physics/history buff, you might not enjoy the story as much.

    In my opinion, a better history based movie would be The Imitation Game. Much more focused story, even if some aren't historically accurate.

  • How valid is the claim that people coming or going to blue sky/mastodon/X/Truth Social will cause echo chambers to increase? is it bad?

    Jump

  • Blocking + Algorithms feeding things similar to your taste is already forming an echo chamber. Bluesky with it's community driven block lists and starter packs makes this much easier too.

    It can be a good thing or bad. Just depends on what you want out of the platform.

    How do you deal with feeling like a failure due to being poor?

    Jump

  • I may also suggest keeping a notebook and writing it down to remind yourself what your priorities are.

    I forgot where I saw this, but making a daily/weekly list of every little thing you are grateful of can also help you get out of that loop of feeling bad.

    Jump

  • I don't think I qualify at giving serious life advices, but I want you to know one thing, you haven't failed your son. You are doing your best, and your son knows it. The fact that you are doing everything you can to raise your son, and your son comforting you when you feel down, says to me that you love him and he loves you back. That's not failure at all. The only time you would truly fail yourself and your son, is when you stop trying.

    Best wishes to you both!

    What are some excellent YouTube channels you recommend?

    Jump

  • Lemmino

    I'm surprised no one mentioned this channel yet. Previously known for making top 10 facts of everything, but has since transitioned into long form documentary of mysteries. He takes a long time between videos, but its always an instant click whenever he uploads. Does his own research, cites them, makes the background music and all of the animations for it. Honeypot for react channels too.

    Fortnine

    Motorcycle related videos. Does some motorcycle reviews, but the explanation type videos they mostly do are awesome. Even if you're not a motor head, you can always learn/enjoy something from their videos. If not the knowledge and physics, then the excellent videography and story telling Ryan puts in there.

    Technology Connections

    The Youtube Appliance guy. I kid, but he does excellent videos delving into tech in general appliances or retro stuff. One of his best videos is about dishwasher detergents, so good he had to make 2 more follow up videos about it. Seriously, go give it a watch.
