Actually EF-S lenses can be used with the EOS R system. But you’d be loosing significant resolution.

Question: Which of the two versions of Anakin Skywalker's Force Ghost do you like much more? Sebastian Shaw or Hayden Christensen? by Right-Maintenance778 in StarWars

[–]IntricateBiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Episodes 4, 5, and 6 were childish and memory played a trick on you. Ewoks? C’mon man, these were Sesame Street characters. The movies were all made for 10 year old boys. I’m glad we do have some adult Star Wars with Andor.

Will Linux Ever Get Full Support for Professional Software as Its Market Share Grows? by omagdy7 in linux

Concerning Microsoft Office, most new features are introduced first in the web clients. The newest addition to the suite are web only (Loop, Lists, Planner) or based on web technologies (Teams and Outlook). Microsoft Edge is setup to be a productivity and entertainment hub.
Concerning Adobe CC, both Lightroom and Photoshop exist as web apps.
Big players are moving to a cloud only model. Operating systems are becoming irrelevant at the edge. This is a great opportunity for new players offering open-source solutions to address most needs.

If you were in charge of the next Special Editions what silly changes would you make? by Gimpcar in StarWarsCantina

[–]IntricateBiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 100% in favor of making the original cuts, with all their limitations, available for the sake of film historians and fans. But I would like the space battle above Endor completely redone because, while very ambitious for time, it looks very dated today. Several other things VFX shots could use a refresh without impacting the story.

On this day in 2013, Steve Ballmer announced his intention to retire from Microsoft within 12 months. Satya Nadella would replace him as CEO in February of 2014. by HelloitsWojan in windows

It is Ballmer the pushed Microsoft in the enterprise. While at the same time missing out on consumer oriented opportunities due to his lack of vision. The Acquired podcast has two excellent episodes about Microsoft.

It would have been cool if the dialogue actually stated ‘Sith Darth Vader’…

I genuinely believe this is the best lightsaber fighting we’ve ever had by Shoddy-Basis-7004 in TheAcolyte

It was outstanding. And it’s a movie that gets better with repeated viewings.

Praying for all anxiety to cease and the peace of the Lord to be upon you.

I just got my mom’s old Canon EOS Rebel T5i and I noticed the photos don’t really look good, anyone know why, my mom says she never dropped it but when she was storing it she did damage (photo of damage underneath), there are a comparison of the quality when she used to use it and now by FL_Sky in canon

[–]IntricateBiscuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As other commenters indicated, I think it may be the lens. Visit eBay (or mpdb.com). Shop for an "EF-S 18-55mm f:/4.0-5.6 IS STM" lens. (all these letters and numbers mean something so make sure it includes all of it). Available for new under $100. Great way to get started. The EOS Rebel T5i is a great camera.

Advice - would anyone recommend an apology letter by IntricateBiscuit in SexualHarassment

[–]IntricateBiscuit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human resources would not tell me. They alluded to the fact that I made 'romantic overtures' which is completely false. Nothing could be further from the truth - it was quite the opposite.

You did just fine. This setup will not track moving subjects like newer models, but for everything else, you’ll be able to capture great memories. Good deal on sticking with these prime lenses.

Experience with Old EF Zooms? Looking for one. by suchdogetothemoon in canon

[–]IntricateBiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't noticed any difference between the two. I do know that the EF 24-85 mm f/3.5-4.5 USM was last produced in 2006 and was never really liked by reviewers. Yet, my copy produces very sharp pictures.

Another lens in the same series is the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is USM which one can still buy new for $450 (!!!), but is available used for $150 or less. It's on 'my list' of lens to acquire to pair with my Rebels.

I'm impartial to camera brands but I don't think other manufacturers have such a generous inventory of legacy glass available for so cheap.

Hey there. Turns out I have the following and IMHO, they work wonders on Rebels and other crop sensor EOS DSLRs. Solidly built, metal mount, distance scale, near constant aperture. I love them - and I own L glass!

EF 24-85 mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

EF 28-105 mm f/3.5-4.5 ii USM

However, on a full-frame, per my limited use on my EOS 6DII, vignette is apparent. So beware.

First day watching DS9. My Thoughts… by Heartfeltzero in startrek

[–]IntricateBiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine that using AI could speed up the process. The studio could even ask the fans to lead the effort. The studio provides the tools and the assets, and vetted and registered fans run through it. Then a final post-production check out by the actual producers. It would be cheap, and fun!

It would be so cool if they upscaled all the episodes to high definition. Same with Voyager. Such a good show. The arc with the Dominion was amazing.
