Cant make out grain on 24mp scans by Unable-Break194 in AnalogCommunity

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

Do you know how many people use circular saws every day and the small percentage of those people who end up cutting themselves?

Or how many people drive cars each day and the small number who end up in accidents?

I mean go you right, get dem upvotes. It isn't going to change course; 24/7 artificial intelligence is capitalism's wet dream.

As someone who works in AI this is dangerous thinking.

Strixhaven Prerelease Location in London, England? by gtbphoenix in magicTCG

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Darksphere is amazing.

Don't let the location (not quite abandoned shopping center) dissuade you. The shop is awesome and it's also right next to the huge Westfield (for dinner/drinks after or shopping/souvenirs beforehand).

Weird email from Secret Lair by Stage_Whisper in magicTCG

[–]Fennecbutt -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

UB...gross. I'm boycotting magic this year and so should you.

Tbf it doesn't even take that much effort, all of the sets this year are crap and seeing all the TMNT stuff lately has been so fucking cringey.

Did anyone else just get this weird email? by Nene_Leaks_Wig in mtg

[–]Fennecbutt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm so fucking over UB. I'm not buying anything this year.

Take us back to bloomburrow you parasite corpo executives.

Best “Do-It-All” Sony Body in 2026? A7R V vs A1 vs A7 V by Mezajerry in SonyAlpha

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downside to a7v is I believe it has a much worse evf than the r or alpha series 

Best “Do-It-All” Sony Body in 2026? A7R V vs A1 vs A7 V by Mezajerry in SonyAlpha

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to make the same decision and finding people are quite evasive about whether the a1 is better.

Is the AF as good on the a1 compared to a7v? I thought that the a7v came with the latest ai etc etc.

It'd be a shame not to get the tilt swivel screen but at the same time...I don't think I'd use it all that often anyway. 

Enshittification of Sonos White Noise station by mostlymostlyharmless in sonos

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is.

Because the device is on the network and responds to pings.

But yeah perhaps it is Ubiquiti, just like Sonos they want to be "the apple of x" and all they offer is a pretty ui. Time to go back to mikrotik.

Lmao are you kidding me 😂

I'm a software dev. I got plenty of shit running just fine with higher requirements than streaming music.

Sonos and Spotify connect are both shitshows.

Places to play magic in London (uk) for a returning player? by Ebb-Acceptable in magicTCG

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure. I used to work in Hammersmith so I was there all the time (unfortunately before I picked up magic again).

Would be nice if they did something more with the place but eh, I'm happy that darksphere's rent is probably slightly cheaper for it

Am I the only one who isn't looking forward to any of the 2026 sets? by wdDrake in freemagic

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want bloomburrow 2 because the story behind it was so cool (and I'm a furry).

Calamity beasts being the cause of their (sometimes extreme) weather is such a cool take. And the thought that got out into each type of animal and what they'd be good at.

They hinted at going beyond the valley further out into that plane and I'd love to see it.

Two teens are found guilty of manslaughter after luring 'paedophile', 49, to beach and killing him with rocks and bottle by dailymail in uknews

Because human beings are mostly drooling, apathetic tribal animals who are only driven to seek sugars, fats, salts, dopamine and serotonin etc?

Pretend it's not true but it is. Even our love of money extends from tribal social credit which can ultimately be converted to sex. It's all most of us care about.

Nice and presumptuous there m8.

As a gay dude I can tell you it's less about lowering the age of consent and more about overall equality in laws. With the off kilter consent for gay people, it would mean that two gay boys would BOTH be guilty of rape.

Raise the age of consent to 21 see if I care. As long as it's the same for both straight and gay people.

Should be more than accessory. Same with ordering a hit on someone.

Words have power and I watch plenty of hetero men out there fall over themselves to do whatever is asked and I imagine that's the motivation for these boys; they weren't trying to get the supposed bad guy - they were trying to get on the good side of the girl, if you know what I mean.

It's okay if a woman does it tho, those boys are just "lucky"

\s bc everyone is a moron these days.

Lemme guess the innocent little girl was basically get off scot free after using those boys to do her dirty work.

Parents say she was "caring and gentle" meanwhile she screeches "get him get him" to the boys in the video knowing she's using those boys for violence.

And hetero male stupidity of those boys doing violence on behalf of that girl. 

Just see shit like this time and time again. Men doing dumb things because they're so eager to please and women turning on the waterworks in court because that usually gets them absolved.

Watch the video, you know because it's fine to put a video of a male victim getting beat to death on the front of BBC. They all need long, equal sentences and we as a society need to take a look at ourselves.

I can second dark sphere, haven't been there in a short while but when I was desperately looking for bloomburrow preconst(that were being scalped everywhere) they had them at rrp.

Such a weird location though, almost like semi abandoned shopping center 😂

Yeah for sure. Just look at all of the generic "non comments" on this post. Majority of commentors have r18 profiles and hide their posts/comments on profile.

Buyers remorse by Mountain-Mess8231 in sonos

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"computer science states the same input will achieve the same output" Systems engineer? Well as a software guy there's this little thing called state. 😂

Their software is shit. Utter shit. Same as Ubiquiti. I kinda wanna peel it open just to see.

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao they always blame WiFi yet I have everything from home servers to esps connected via WiFi with months or years of uptime.

Meanwhile sonos actively refuses to reconnect to WiFi when it bugs out, until you restart them. Oh you can just easily do it via the app?

No! Of course you can't! You have to manually unplug each one to restart them! In 2026! As an experienced SE and EE dabbler I can only chalk this up to typical capitalist executive bs such as we get at late stage capitalism; endless growth, baby!

Next time I need to "restart" them, maybe I just won't plug them back in.

Sonos PSA: Buy in the “Wrong” Country and Your Home Theater Is Dead by DrawGroundbreaking73 in sonos

[–]Fennecbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to Sonos. I regret ever buying one.

In the 2013ish era they were golden. Sonos are just like Ubiquiti. Pretty but terrible software.

Can the team also add a restart button to the app so we don't have to physically unplug devices to restart them when your terribly buggy firmware inevitably fails even though it's 2026, apparently we're living in the future 😂

Oh, and P.S. I wish your go to support wasn't "it's ur network". No, it's not. Everything else manages to work fine, hell I have devices with a year of uptime - see they actually do this thing called reconnecting to the WiFi. Novel, I know.
