  • I think a better purchase in the fujifilm realm is the instax link wide printer.

    Your phone is likely to already take far better photos than the Evo and will get upgraded over time anyway, improving the quality of your Fuji photos. Plus, if you eventually get a DSLR (or mirrorless given we’re in 2025) you can also print instant photos off that.

    The Evo only has a 1/3" sensor (an iPhone’s is far bigger and nicer) and a 16mm equivalent focal length, which means nothing like bokeh or subject separation - it’s almost literally a 2018-spec wide-angle phone camera sensor attached to an instax printer.

    For me it’s a no brainer. If you already have an iPhone or any phone that takes semi-decent pictures, the instax printer is cheaper and gives you that link to the analogue world.

    The other instax you have serves as a “semi disposable” camera that you can still keep but that you care less about (e.g. for going to the beach).


  • sorry I can’t come up with anything more humane but here it is: my safe-ish idea would be to get a large clear plastic box, and drop it (opening facing down) on top of the pears and wasps. If it’s large enough you’re likely to be able to do this without angering them, and as long as it falls flat-ish they won’t be flying right back at you.

    From there you can just leave them, or come back a while later and place something heavy on the box so it doesn’t fly with the wind.

    There’s a chance some of them might escape but if they do it will be one by one manageable) and otherwise they’ll keep feeding on the rotting fruit until weather or lack of water takes care of them.





  • I’m very mildly pro-AI, in the sense that I remain optimistic there will be at least a few cool use cases and I’d love to find them.

    So I tried Dia… And uninstalled it a few hours later. Why would I want to “chat with my tabs”? Even if I didn’t think this was a rubbish use case, every browser comes with a chatbot sidebar/extension/whatever, why would I want to change browsers just for that?

    Heavy pass. Also, after how they abandoned Arc, I don’t think they can be trusted to develop a product and not pull the rug from under the users when it becomes mildly inconvenient to keep working on it.
