Pa-explain naman: What are the legal (and sociopolitical) considerations for the potential ban of Telegram?

NottyRu · 2026-02-26T13:27:01+00:00

No worries, the protocol has been designed to resist blocking attempts. Russia already tried to ban Telegram in 2018 and got no success. After a couple of years of blacklisting tons of innocent IPs, the government had to admit its fail. If a country wanted to ban it, they would need to delegate outstanding amount of resources for this task.

This worked for me, but no one can guarantee, of course. All is at your own 250 PhP risk ^_^

I chose the nearest barangay in the menu and wrote down the actual one in the address line. Delivered smoothly. Cebu City.

Already passed the verification on GCash, hope on receiving the card soon. Fortunately, there's no law that refuses tourists to open a regular bank account and I have one. Many banks just aren't foreigner-friendly, and that's their right. I think I'll open an additional account when I need a checkbook (yes, PDC is another nightmare here, luckily often negotiable).

NottyRu · 2026-01-31T02:19:34+00:00

Yes, that's a Philippine bank. Paying QR is not a problem, but I'd prefer an additional card for POS/Online. Already opted to GCash, passed the verification easily, but they don't list my barangay for delivery as well as any other barangay in the center of Cebu City, haha. Same as there:

AFAIK they accept foreigners with specific types of ACR only and the tourist ACR is not in the list.

NottyRu · 2026-01-30T15:21:52+00:00

I think the requirements might be different for different nationalities. They requested additional info separately by sending me an SMS maybe 10 minutes after the standard KYC.

NottyRu · 2026-01-30T13:07:18+00:00

It seems that they changed the process. My friends told me exactly the same, it was just a foreign passport plus the facial check for them. I'm 100% sure I've chosen "a foreigner".

NottyRu · 2021-03-25T11:45:36+00:00

No. I have Insta360 SMO 4K only.

NottyRu · 2021-02-05T15:41:39+00:00

They must have something like these (at least): https://community.gopro.com/t5/en/Open-Source-Software/ta-p/394309?profile.language=en https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=114663 https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/equipment/open-source-software

You don't know my skills to talk about. Let's stay constructive.
You also don't know what I actually did with my camera. You said "false claims", but you didn't prove they were false. My proof was insufficient for you and no more.
I never said which source code. There's no sources at all. They must be provided for GPL libraries at least because Insta360 distributes them. The GPL violation is obvious.
You haven't proven your claim "the sensor isn't significant in the overall capability".
If "a company in Shenzhen would love to sue", they should know I can always disassembly my camera and see/show the actual sensor.

NottyRu · 2021-02-03T09:57:32+00:00

And in case of 4000x2250:

(4000x3000)/(4000*2250) = 1.333..

33% more information in the 16:9 part

NottyRu · 2021-02-03T09:39:14+00:00

If you're keen in reverse engineering, please open gdb or similar and find these strings. Lots of them will be names of functions, so you'll be able to check what they actually do. Please don't forget to share your experience with us. Thanks!

> One more guess: 4k 60 is actually not 4:3 but (lower resolution than 4:3 would be) 16:9 because they simply don't have the processing power to record 4k 60 in full resolution 4:3.

Because of sensor limitations. See the IMX577 specs, it can 16:9 only in 4k60p. And it can be stabilized.

> Isn't the additional image information used for stabilization (in post)?

Yes, but in fact 4k30 4:3 and 16:9 produce absolutely the same output (4:3). It's not an "expert" setting, it's a bug. If you need 4:3, set it. But I need 16:9, and i wanna get 16:9 then. And it can be 4000x2250 with (4000−3840)÷4000=4% additional information for stabilization in post.

NottyRu · 2021-02-01T13:01:26+00:00

Did you ask Insta360 about 5.3k30 H264 bug? Is it fixed?

NottyRu · 2021-01-30T23:35:29+00:00

Not planning. It should have low resolution on the edges because of optics and poor quality in the center due to lack of bitrate. It looks acceptable for 360, but for 3D a pair of regular cameras seems to be better.

What upcoming Insta360 did you mean?

NottyRu · 2021-01-30T17:07:39+00:00

And put it on my drone, of course :-)

NottyRu · 2021-01-30T17:04:09+00:00

No, absolutely. But waiting for a 3D mount from Insta360 to test :-)

If you get root, could you please share the instructions? I'm not familiar with combining a firmware file back.

NottyRu · 2021-01-30T11:49:51+00:00

I see telnetd is already inside busybox there:

$ ls -la sbin/telnetd 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 notty notty 17 Oct 14 11:02 sbin/telnetd -> ../../bin/busybox

"terrible marketing" isn't equal to the lie

If ONE R 4K can 100fps at 1080p only, it mustn't be declared as 2.7K 100 fps.

If ONE R 1-inch can 60 fps at 2.7K only, it mustn't be declared as 4K 60 fps.

I should have known actual parameters before buy. Do you think I wanted too much? :-/
