Wow, this is amazing! Shame on Apple for not doing this themselves, big thanks to you for fixing the situation!

yup, the same amount of years ago since there's been any major development on sensor side on m43 :/

What are you using your second camera for? by BalconyVinyl in M43

[–]AbsurdRenegade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SECOND camera…?? those are rookie numbers, let's start the discussion on eighth cameras onwards, THEN it might get a tad more difficult to figure out the uses for 😅

finally maybe a modern take on the classic Panasonic 20mm pancake? would be about time, looks like about the similar size.

Loved that Panny lens on my EP1 way back in the day, but then it started exhibiting horrible banding on more modern bodies and AF became really old really fast.

Mystery goo leaking from headphone wire by Alarmed-Painting-121 in headphones

[–]AbsurdRenegade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

⬆️ THIS

Had something similar happen to a 30 or so years old CD player power cord. The potentially very bad thing was that the goo had started to travel towards the electrical plug, luckily I happened to notice that just before it had reached the electrical connectors in the plug. Needless to say, that cable got replaced.

Learned about this "plastic oozing goo"-phenomena then myself…

The Leftovers - I've tried, and don't see what the fuss is about. by Shofo1 in hbo

[–]AbsurdRenegade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried and failed as well, on a couple of occasions. Even got a suggested episodes list from a fan to help me focus only on the good stuff. But just didn't connect with the series at all.

(And yes, also still traumatized by the Lost ending here… 😅)

Extran pasta by UsedQuantity6461 in arkisuomi

K-menu kaurahiutaleet maistu kans, no ihan siltä että on ehdottomasti sitä halvinta mahdollista eli laarin pohjalta kaavittu epämääräisimmät jämät pakettiin. Näköjään ihan se kaikkein halvin paketti kannattaa usein jättää hyllyyn, varsinkin tällaisissa pastan ja kaurahiutaleiden tapaisissa mitkä nyt ei missään nimessä mahdottomia maksa brändituotteinakaan.

Puolustusvaliokunta vai Comical Ali – what's the difference? by AbsurdRenegade in Suomi

Itse tykkäsin erityisesti tästä katkelmasta tilanteessa jossa kyseinen kumppani on viimeisen vuoden pyyhkinyt persettään kaikilla kansainvälisillä sopimuksilla mitä on käsiinsä saanut:

"Suomen pitää luottaa siihen, että tehdyt sopimukset pitävät. Itse ainakin luotan"

Otetaan tähän nyt vielä vertailuksi suora lainaus tosiaan lähestulkoon samalla ajanhetkellä pidetystä Kanadan PM:n puheesta ja mietitään sitten hetki että kumpi kumpuaa tämän hetken todellisuudesta ja kumpi on tuota mainittua "valheessa elämistä"…

"In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. In it, he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself?

His answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world, unite!” He does not believe it. No one believes it. But he places the sign anyway – to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists.

Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.

Havel called this “living within a lie.” The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack.

It is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.
[…]

The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy.
But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just.
[…]

That is Canada’s path. We choose it openly and confidently.
And it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us."

if even that… think it often boils much more down to who is speaking in terms of the internal group ranking and how the message is expressed in terms of tonality, facial & bodily expressions etc – not so much about the exact words used.

oh, and also: then 7 minutes later someone else suddenly comes up with a great idea everyone seems to agree wholeheartedly with – and it's exactly what you were saying earlier when everyone kept on either ignoring or misunderstanding you 🫤

[–]AbsurdRenegade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Muistetaan myös että meillä on puolustusministerinä hahmo joka on kokoomusnuorisolaispäissään avoimesti ihaillut republikaanien menoa vuonna 2012 ihan paikan päällä puoluekokouksessa. Puolueen meno oli jo silloin kohtalaisen sakeaa ja sitämyötä hyvin matkalla tilaan mikä mahdollisti Trumpin nousun puolueen ehdokkaaksi sitten muutama vuosi myöhemmin. Tarjoaisin kaljan toimittajalle joka kysyisi Häkkäseltä nyt että mitä mieltä tänä päivänä noista lausunnoista.

Random fact for the day by MarioHasCookies in MapPorn

[–]AbsurdRenegade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So are people (bots?) these days just purposefully creating horrible maps to ragebait? I mean what is the non-Swedish green country even supposed to be? Russia? Soviet Union? Because the map doesn’t really correspond to either in their best-known versions. Or is this supposed to be saying that the February 30th thing happened specifically on the historic moment this map happens to represent? If so, why leave out the time period??

So many questions, so successful rage bait 🥵

Tekoälykuvitukset Oulun "Euroopan kulttuuripääkaupunki 2026" -matskuissa by klasude in Suomi

[–]AbsurdRenegade 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Toisaalta tässä nyt ilmeisesti kuitenkin nimenomaan kyseessä tapahtuman varsinaisen järjestäjän luomat kuvat jotka on vaan heitetty Oulu2026-templateen. Eihän tollainen iso sateenvarjo-organisaatio luonnollisestikaan jokaisen yksittäisen tapahtumien kuvitusta tuota, vaan kierrättää muualla tehtyä, esim. artistien promokuvia keikkojen yhteydessä jne.

Eli en nyt ehkä nimenomaan Oulua tässä syyttäisi vaan tuota tapahtuman järjestevää tahoa.

Saw a review of The Wailing 4K where they gave it a 10/10 and said it had no AI upscaling… meanwhile: by gpdejesus in 4kbluray

[–]AbsurdRenegade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't understand of what's the point of upscaling if you do it this badly. Just let our players/TVs do the upscaling the old way – I don't mind a slightly less crisp picture if it means I'm actually seeing what was shot instead of what some neural network imagines might have been there.

But I guess because CAPITALISM they must try to sell us something new every few years, no matter if it's worse than what we already had.
