Yeah that's exactly what happens. The 85mm 1.8G is really good enough though! I wouldn't want to fudge with focus screens - I managed to cock up a D750 doing that once. Took ages to get it right after. Really I stopped…
I have used the Taylor series approximations to produce the LUT over a defined interval. This may be generated pre-complication or at startup with a defined precision depending on the destination signed type. Tend to…
I really want something 13 mini sized but the battery life is no good for me. They could fix that with less fat and bloated software but like hell that's going to happen. The last phone I really liked was my iPhone 6s.…
You really need a specific focusing screen for manual lenses though, metering or not. The rangefinder in the AF Nikon F/D cameras is absolutely no good for accurate focus unless you really stop down hard (f/5.6+…
He’ll no. It’ll kill you carrying it (had a D3 which is same size/ weight approx).
Nikon at least actually have service manuals for all their recent stuff online now https://ssr.downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en_US/products/29... Think the modern stuff is easier to repair to be honest.
Actually the 90s ones are generally terrible They are really complicated nests of parts and flex PCBs and cables. Unlike the newer ones, there's usually some older style stuff in there just to screw with you like…
Trick for the F100 is buy 4-5 N80/F80's. They weigh a lot less and if one dies you just get another one out :)
Sometimes you get told what to use. And I am free to dislike it :)
It's painful if you have to work with it and mortals, not kernel devs.
Yeah. I just don't really like git. The user interface is dog shit, merging is nasty, it's really easy to blow your own toes off and it's generally horrible. The only reason it got anywhere was github.
The last subversion server I had was on prem on VMware. There wasn’t any unscheduled downtime in a decade.
That's a very recent change then. But only 3 in stock and 3x the price of the Apple ones. Good luck!
GitHub is a mess so lets throw our code into a Musk owned enterprise, famously a different shade of mess? How about neither? Man I wish we stuck with Subversion at this point.
It's a complete overstatement. The USB-C ports are still soldered onto the motherboard and their parts supply chain is shit. I don't trust iFixit's quite frank "press handjob" because they're giving higher repairability…
The recent thinkpads are shit. They market high tech materials in the T14s machines but the bottom for a huge amount of the line is aluminium with plastic mounts glued to it. Those are fragile and break off. So really…
There's repairable and there's repairable and it's not quite as obvious as it seems. The big issue we see on our Dell and Lenovo units is broken USB-C ports and the only repair method possible there is replace the…
Have that problem here. I just mirror all that stuff offline. Someone has to do it. I have no cloud document, email or photo storage at all. Just an IMAP box.
Proof that LLMs are trained on mediocre shit. That is by definition, mediocre shit.
The trick I use is to immediately go "fuck it I'm not using that product" I'm remarkably free of any intrusive AI.
"AI will destroy SaaS" "No not like that!"
As a cheap ass I just delete it. They DM me later to ask why I haven't responded to their email, to which the response is "did you write it?".
This is great. I've been meaning to work out what windows NT background colour is for years. My desktop now is solid that :)
HOA and Flock. That is one hellish dystopia over there now.
I have people writing emails to me with an LLM now. We've gone from meetings where "this could have been an email" to emails where "this could have been a few carefully chosen words, not a rambling diatribe which would…
