interesting, I found that for landscapes, my phone was simply so much easier and roughly as good as my DSLR

I brought my DSLR on trips for high shutter speeds, zoom, and low light. taking wide photos during the day? just snap with the phone while the canoe is on your shoulders

21C is too warm to keep a house at, so it can’t be too chilly

I cannot upvote a paywalled source

yes, blurring the article if you don’t disable ad blocking is a paywall

cameras? no

voice calls? yes

that’s pretty much how I used to supervise when I was a happy employee with a small competent team

didn’t matter that I was in meetings all the time, you’d get a detailed answer within a few minutes so you could keep working.

Newsom? I thought Carney did that!

normal in Canada as well

WFH and my first one is my morning break

yeah some of these aren’t accurate

just like headlights that are so bright that they blind everybody in front of them

I never feel safer than when I’m approaching the crest of a hill on a corner with a 15-ft deep rocky ditch to either side at 80 km/h on a narrow road with almost no shoulder and I can see the night sky lit up in front of me like it’s a football stadium because the car on the other side of the hill has LED high beams on. Then we reach the point where we can see each other’s headlights, and I am flash banged from the intensity going directly into my squinting eyes. I see a barely discernible flash as their auto-highbeams recognize that I am a vehicle and it switches to low beams, which are the exact same intensity and still going directly into my eyeballs, except now it’s not lighting up the night sky as well as the treetops.

I turn my own LED highbeams* on in response in an attempt to see some of the road in front of me so that I can avoid the ditch, and I steer towards the middle of the road where there is only a chance of danger instead of guaranteed danger from driving off the road. Hopefully the other driver sees me well enough to avoid me if I get too close to center or even go over the line.

We complete the pass, my night vision returns over the next 30 seconds, and I start saying a small prayer thanking God for how safe I was kept during that interaction, but I am interrupted by the exact same scenario happening on the next hill.

• I installed LED highbeams bulbs just for this reason, trying to see when somebody is blinding me. I only use them in this situation because my halogen low beams are enough for all other driving conditions that I find myself in. I disabled the DRL module so that the LED bulbs don’t come on unless high beams are on.

why do they need all three formats of video

and like also because of all the oil industry subsidies with your tax dollars

spell check probably “helped” them

it does that shit to me all the fucking time nowadays. I’ll write a perfectly fine and appropriate word for the context, and spell check will just change it out for the wrong spelling or just completely the wrong fucking word. it sucks now. probably driven by AI or something.

nah, this one is straight to prison

my mom made sure that we learned how to type effectively, and goddamn was she ever right about that. it amazes me how many people cannot type quickly on a keyboard.

lane keep isn’t exactly self driving

quarterly profits have been great or something

yes, it would. their elected officials did this.

right, meaning everybody will need to get a VPN, defeating the purpose of the law
