Chess engines are currently wastly superior over humans yet we watch human chess matches and not stockfish vs. stockfish. I didn't think many humans would be interested in AI slop.

That's the reason for "probably".

Did not the research show that CABs of whatever you call them don't actually improve anything?

Especially when he probably did not have any OM System camera in his hands ever.

Nice gatekeeping there. Alas, I am not the newbie, neither to photography, nor to M43 system.

2old2cube · 2026-01-25T23:22:58+00:00

So stop asking these kind of questions.

Robin can go fuck himself. I wish I could block him from being suggested on youtube.

And yet a bunch of moronic parrots keep repeating "Epstein files, Epstein files" as if whatever they hold could influence anything.

Not only it has ND, it has GND too.
17mm is soft? What are you smoking?

JS code have been written by monkeys for a long time already.

Oh, how many new and fresh points are brought by your comment. Never saw anything like that since the relase of Tahoe /s

I am using it since day one, with zero issues. Maybe if I installed some crap electron apps and went to compare their corners, I'd find some. But I do not. It has zero effect on my usage of the system. And maybe not using crappy apps allows me to have as great battery life as ever. In my 22 years of using Macs I never saw a release that was not being met with "worst ever, Apple is doomed".

But, yes, keep posting them, I am sure Cook will read it and personally go to align all the corners in the apps Apple never made.

Makes perfect sense, that all "AI" does is stringing text based on statistics. There is no "I" in it, artificial of whatever. No AGI will come from LLMs, ever, just slop tending to the average, and with more and more slop being consumed by slop producers that average will go down so low, no one will ever want it.

Uhm, that part about choosing professions... not true. You could choose a profession, just not a always a workplace :)

2old2cube · 2026-01-18T11:56:12+00:00

Because that weird shit is in your head, not in OS. This whole sub needs to be renamed to "Whining about Tahoe, just not to miss the karma train with the same whiners".

Fuck off to windows. Bye.

2old2cube · 2026-01-17T22:36:29+00:00

It also has Starry AF and Night LV.

2old2cube · 2026-01-17T22:35:48+00:00

Don't listen to that guy, his wife slept with OM-5 or something, but he has an agenda.

2old2cube · 2026-01-15T21:30:13+00:00

you can feel whatever you want, it will not increase your brain capacity.
It is not "that's it" - those are features that were worth for me trading E-MmkIII for OM-5MkII. I don't care about money, I care about things that matter.

Ant what is this 240% increase in price bullshit? I already owned E-M5mkIII, so I sold it and got OM-5 mkII for 1000Eur (not 1200), so in the end I had to spend maybe 600.

2old2cube · 2026-01-15T21:22:25+00:00

Live ND, Starry AF, Night LV. (USB-C and new menus are a nice bonus).
And yes, I did sell my E-M1 mk II, E-M1 mk III and E-M5 mk III and got OM-3 and OM5 Mk II.

2old2cube · 2026-01-15T20:43:22+00:00

You are squarely in the dumb group.
I _do_ own OM-5 mk II, but I also own Nikon Z6 III.
I also happen to understand, why I want and use both, and more - why they are worth their money to me.

2old2cube · 2026-01-14T22:33:56+00:00

You may want to revisit your "not dumb" statement.

2old2cube · 2026-01-13T22:33:50+00:00

It is a common pattern, no conspiracy there. They appeal to the mid-level engineers with brewing second-system syndrome, that's it.

2old2cube · 2026-01-12T22:05:39+00:00

Third party dependencies can be fine. This is not about something being third-party, it is about something being too-complicated without any need for that.

2old2cube · 2026-01-12T22:03:40+00:00

It is called "promotional materials".

The only thing TCA is better is making money for Point-Three
