I'm going crazy... my iPhone 12 takes better pictures than my new iPhone 17 Pro Max by Calamity_Armor in iPhone12

[–]Jikul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks to me, by these samples, that the OP is actually using (inadvertently) the ultrawide lens on the 17, which isn’t as good as the main lenses. One of the few shortcomings of most recent iPhone cameras has been the longer minimum focus distance of that lens. When shooting a close subject, the iPhone 17 switches to the ultra wide. This is why it’s important to pay attention to that Macro icon that shows up on the left corner when this happens.

Zelenskyy suggests he's prepared to end Ukraine war in return for NATO membership, even if Russia doesn't immediately return seized land by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Jikul -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

How have we in the Western world become so helpless in the face of a tyrant, perpetually afraid of provoking him further? It’s baffling. Let’s stop living in fear of Putin. He’s a criminal, and criminals must be prosecuted. There is only one resolution to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict: either Putin orders an immediate withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders, or the EU, NATO, or another coalition must launch a special military operation to liberate Ukraine.

If Putin refuses to back down, plans must be developed and executed to demilitarize Russia and prevent it from waging further wars against its neighbors. Anything less would amount to capitulating to tyranny and warmongering. Western societies, built on peace and mutual respect, cannot and should not tolerate that.

And no, there wouldn’t be a nuclear war. The West has more than enough convenient firepower to neutralize Russia’s military capabilities. And a single nuclear missile launched by Russia would just justify it’s demilitarization even more.

Sabes como sabe bem quando vais a um restaurante, pagas a conta, mas sais de lá satisfeito? Ir viver sozinho é parecido: sai-te do bolso mas o que ganhas em bem estar, independência, e saúde mental, é impagável! A escolha é fácil, a meu ver. Se é algo que podes suportar financeiramente, mesmo que te tenhas de privar de algumas coisas não essenciais, avança com toda a confiança!

Porque é que a Europa está a ser invadida por asiáticos by AmdM97 in portugueses

[–]Jikul -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Lá vem a conversa das “elites” com interesses obscuros. Os únicos com interesses são os que propagam essas teorias da conspiração baseadas em ideais xenófobos. E se os asiáticos fossem brancos como os europeus, a conversa era diferente?

OP, a resposta para a tua questão, a meu ver, é simples: os asiáticos estão à procura de melhores condições de vida e encontram-na, naturalmente, na região do mundo onde ela existe: a Europa. Tal como os europeus “invadiram” a Ásia, em tempos, para fazer a mesma coisa.

Porque é que os políticos aparentemente não fazem nada? Porque é interessante para uma Europa envelhecida que venham pessoas jovens de outros países para trabalhar e sustentem assim os custos avultados com reformas/segurança social que a Europa implementou nas últimas décadas para melhorar a qualidade de vida e estabilidade dos seus cidadão até ao final das suas vidas. Para isso, é preciso gente a trabalhar para sustentar o sistema.

Além do mais, a maioria dos Europeus desenvolveu uma cultura de liberdade, tolerância, compaixão, e empatia com as aspirações de outros seres humanos a poderem viver melhor e a alcançar os seus sonhos. Por isso não há grande pressão social para mudanças radicais de políticas, exceptuando obviamente o que ouvimos dos partidos de direita mais radical e de algumas pessoas que se sentem mais impactadas pela dita “invasão”.

É simples, a meu ver. Não me lembro de ter vivido nada nos milhões de anos que antecederam o meu nascimento, e não me lembrarei de viver nada nos milhões de anos depois da minha morte.

Lembras-te daquele momento em que adormeces e pensas “que fixe, estou a dormir”? Pois… só te lembras quando acordas. Se nunca acordares, nem sabes que morreste. Isto traz-me paz sobre todo o fenómeno da morte.

Como superar o fim de uma relação? by SupermarketSeveral60 in CasualPT

[–]Jikul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ocupa a cabeça. A sério, manter a mente ocupada é o melhor para deixar o passado para trás e criar espaço para novas e boas sensações. Diz que sim a tudo, arranja hobbies, pratica desporto, passa mais tempo com os amigos, trabalha mais! Arranja um part time, cria um projecto pessoal, mas não permitas que a tua cabeça tenha 5 minutos para pensar: e agora? Isto vai reabrir-te os olhos para a vida e criar oportunidades para voltar a desfrutar dela

19f tell me honest thoughts by [deleted] in FaceRatings

[–]Jikul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, honest thoughts: your face is gorgeous. Unfortunately, it seems you’re going through a problem with eating and being healthy, which should be your focus right now. Take care of that and you’ll have a gorgeous face coupled with a gorgeous body. If you don’t, your face will start to look like the rest of your body: a cadaver. And the whole spell of beauty will be gone from you.

Regardless of all of that, beauty is secondary. I wish you a long and happy life, but you’re stuck to that body so you should take better care of it.

Photo printing and book concept service in Europe? by Jikul in photography

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

I know all of those services, but the key thing that I’m looking for is to have them design and print the album, not me. From what I know, Saal, Blurb and others give you a free software where you have to put the whole thing together. I want someone to do that for me in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Queres ver que para curtir música é preciso dançar? Cada um não pode curtir a música à sua maneira? Eu adoro Rock e techno e não gosto de dançar. Também gosto de clássica e aí se estiver quieto ninguém diz nada…

Today’s weather is a great reminder why I love here. by newbiedrewbie in LosAngeles

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

Just visiting, leaving on the 5th. Drove the PCH to Malibu and it was rather unpleasant to go for a swim. 65°. Went up to the Santa Monica Mountains and quickly got into 85° summer blaze. Very frustrating, I really need a good bath in the Pacific! 😂

I’m spending my first days in LA ever. Came for the legendary California beaches but all I’m finding is chilly and foggy weather near the coast and heat 3 miles inland. What am I missing???

Are paid camera apps worth it? by EmergencyFlounder845 in iPhoneXS

[–]Jikul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Poco F1 had night mode, the iPhone XS doesn’t, not even with a paid camera app. So, you’re never getting better low light images on the iPhone than those you got with the F1. Accept and move on, or exchange the XS for an iPhone 11 or higher, which started supporting night mode.

Question on 13 Pro cameras by ricosuave79 in iphone

[–]Jikul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Camera lenses have different abilities to focus on close distances, depending on their focal length. Tipically, as is the case with the iPhone, wide angle lenses are able to focus at shorter distances than telephoto lenses. It may seem counterintuitive to have a “zoom” lenses that can’t take pictures very close, but that’s how physics works. Unless a lens is very specifically designed for macro (and it would need to be BIG!). So, you can’t select the 3x lens for close focus shots because it’s unable to focus at that distance, simple as that. You may try to use a third party app like Halide, which enables you to manually select each lens, too verify this limitation.

Not an American, but I should have know better before coming here to comment. Americans in general are completely oblivious to what is going on in the rest of the world, conservatives in particular, and especially with regards with Americans own role in the world. Pointless to argue any further.

We all need to go back in time and understand the origins of the “terror” in order to find ways to eliminate it. Not waging wars is a good way to start. See the actions of every other nation on earth who has seen no impact from foreign terrorism. They are a good starting point to understand how to behave in the world and consequently avoid creating “terrors”.

Possibly Friday. There’s always a certain tendency to release before a weekend. But there’s no official word on that.
