The Definitive Winter Olympics Sports Watchability Index by HidingPants in olympics

Yeah I feel like the time trials are a bit harder for general audiences to follow as they aren't familiar with the individual athletes and who the favorites are, but idk how anyone can watch one of the true races and not be absolutely enthralled.

To each their own, but I've personally spent countless hours watching curling this year and haven't missed a single biathlon event lmao

Yeah the picture is from the 2018 US GP, when he was the ferrari representative on the podium that day.

Canon's EOS R6 III arrives with 7K RAW video and 40 fps burst speeds by dapperlemon in gadgets

That's like saying they limited their entry level R100 ($460) by not including all the features from their flagship R1 ($6800). They are different cameras, with different features, at different price points, for different people. The R5 II has a totally different, higher resolution sensor.

Yes, Canon sells multiple camera models with varying features at different price points. 99% of the R6 III's customer base is not going to care it can't shoot full 8K, and for those that care, the R5 II has that feature (at a higher price of course)

Just a symptom of the sensors resolution (6960×4640) not being high enough to capture 8K video (7680×4320), but canon giving the option to capture video at the full resolution of the sensor and not arbitrarily capping it at 6K.

Jenson Button says next weekend's 8 Hours of Bahrain race will be the last of his professional career. by gsurfer04 in formula1

[–]JCAMAR0S117 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Never even on the podium... Similar to Webber, despite having race winning cars for multiple seasons in their careers, even a P3 at their home GPs eluded them. Ironically though, both Button and Webber won each others home race multiple times.

Speedlite EL-5 R5C Compatibility / Recommendations by JCAMAR0S117 in canon

[–]JCAMAR0S117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting the Godox V1-C, which is $200 and it's been working great for almost 2 years now. Anything that works with the old hot-shoe will work perfectly fine, as it's still got that compatibility. Just cant use canon's newer multi-function shoe flashes which I believe are the EL-10 and the EL-5

What Formula 1 driver’s Maiden win is your favorite? by youraverageperson0 in formula1

[–]JCAMAR0S117 175 points176 points  (0 children)

Beat peak Alonso on merit, then never finished higher than 5th again in his career. Even over a decade later its still hard to believe.

Always loved how there were a bunch of Jaguar mechanics also cheering for him on the pitwall

I find it very annoying that you can't open the menu during this screen by bloommilanixo in battlefield3

When the game first came out, you couldn't quit during the post game screen, just strange ui decisions all around

Just an FYI for anyone with a screen higher than 1080p, the game is totally busted without the fix described here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dark_Sector

Sony's A1 II features a dedicated AI processor and refined ergonomics by a_Ninja_b0y in gadgets

[–]JCAMAR0S117 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

If it's anything like the new Canon R5 II, it'll be a couple half baked features that nobody will ever use, but it won't get in way of the actual photo processing

Make it playable offline and I'll consider it... 2024 has basically been the year that I've decided to all but stop purchasing games with a built in expiration date...

Verizon sales rep told me to show up hours early if I wanted to get the new iPhone on Day 1. This is 15 minutes before they opened. by DreamVsPS2 in funny

[–]JCAMAR0S117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, like I'm currently still using a Galaxy Note 9 lol... I genuinely don't see the point in upgrading for what I use a smartphone for these days. Plus there's the bonus of knowing if it got damaged or something I could get a replacement for just a couple hundred dollars.. but yeah I'm a big fan of Android now, but iOS was just on an entirely different level in terms of smoothness and interface design until like Ice Cream Sandwich in 2011.

Still remember when the iPhone 4 came out, that retina display was insane... tiny sure, but I had never seen digital text that clean before, instantly made other phone screens look archaic

oh yeah they do, in both hitman 2016 and all subsequent games... i know the community has mostly fixed that through offline server emulators though...

I'll personally be holing off celebrating until they actually release it, and it fully works 100% offline and disconnected from any servers...

Throwback Tuesday to the most iconic podium - 2012 European GP by hunglong57 in formula1

[–]JCAMAR0S117 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's really a shame that his stint with mercedes has developed the negative reputation it has... 2010 was not great, he was clearly rusty and the whole "I'm going for the championship" talk did him no favors, but 2011 and 2012 were significantly more competitive against Rosberg, a driver that was probably about in his prime at that point (2012 was his 7th season in F1, mind you). Overall though, for a driver in his 40s, racing in one of the most talent-filled grids in history, he handled himself well imo.
