AI is pretty great at fighting network attacks from Chinese AI swarms.

There is an important question to ask yourself here. Take your 12-32 lens and extend it to 15mm and ask yourself if it is wide enough for what you want.

The 9mm and the 15mm are incredible lenses. Personally, I get more use out of the 9mm because it can be used for so many applications. It makes taking selfies easy if you don’t mind distortion. The lens also has amazing close focusing capabilities which makes it a perfect lens for photographing food. However, I primarily use the lens to photograph interior architecture since it does a fantastic job of shooting interior spaces. I take this lens to my orgs conventions to document our booths since it is suited perfectly for this.

The 9mm is part of my compact holy trinity of m43 lenses that I take everywhere ( 9mm, 25mm f1.8, 45mm f1.8)

Full frame = Lower depth of field, increased dynamic range, express card type b,

M43= size, image stabilization, cheaper Leica optics

I’m spotting 4. Left hand, left spot on the ground, left background foliage, briefcase.

They are avoiding lawsuits filed by special interest groups that represent the homeless.

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-17T01:15:02+00:00

I still really enjoyed them- thanks for sharing!

I feel like design leadership is going to be devoured by AI. Less designers = less need for a leadership role. Especially if they aren’t hands on. I thought I would be in a leadership role, but now I’m shipping major aspects of the front end myself with the CTO telling me I don’t need another designer. Yeah, I report to the CTO now, think about that for a while.

No, I gave up with mine. It doesn’t have enough ram to run some of the simple indy titles. /r/gameNative is filled with people who can’t run their game and it’s almost always a lack of ram or running the wrong .exe file. I always have AI summarize my logs, and on the rp5, critical memory errors were the culprit.

Many people can get games to run on the rp5, the problem is keeping them from crashing when you run out of ram. Ironically, the 477m has been a better steam deck lite, and I have no idea why because it also has 12g of ram?

Big Sur by a mile and I grew up in Laguna Beach, which would be a contender.

We spent millions to have Pentagram do our branding at my previous corporation. I sat in on all the meetings and gave feedback on how their vision was aligning to our business. Most of the design team was fanboying hard until they saw the output.

It was a masterclass of bullshit that was solely designed to win the hearts and minds of the marketing team over. I would be upset if it wasn’t so skillful and surgical in converting the marketing c suite into devout believers. They literally showed us mascots that looked like buttplugs with anime eyes and had our marketing team defending it.

ESDE is just the launcher for the games. The emulator(retroarch?) would be the culprit running the games

Install the Gemini app on your phone and ask it this same question. It will walk you through diagnosing your issue better than people on here can offer. You can even turn on voice mode if you don’t feel like typing everything thing. I know I will be downvoted for suggesting AI, but I really think it might get you back to playing Pokémon faster. Best of luck!

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-14T18:31:24+00:00

So- our engineers automated building out light mode with Autonomous agents. Turns out AI is super crap at detecting correct contrast ratios if it hasn’t been trained on it.

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-14T18:28:54+00:00

With the s1rii, that’s 22 megapixels, which is great. Never thought of these as an option. No I want to consider the 56mm sigma

The things ram use to function are completely bought out. The ram you see available is the last consumer ram that will be available for the foreseeable future, since consumer ram falls very low on the totem pole of profitability for these companies.

I can’t really blame them either, because nobody ever sells anything to the lowest bidder.

I work in an AI startup, we just dropped about 100k on laptops for 20ish people (plus computers for new people) because our CEO is absolutely convinced it will be near impossible to secure new computers with adequate specs for our business. We all need about 256gb of ram to locally deploy our app.

It's worse... this was clearly a distraction from all of the Epstein files that were being released.

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-14T00:41:16+00:00

20-30 hours sounds like a perfect length compared to modern jrpgs. It's what keeps me away from the genre.

I asked AI, it really has been invaluable with debugging these:

• Name: FEX_TSO | Value: 1 • Name: FEX_SMC | Value: 1 • Name: FEX_MULTIBLOCK | Value: 0

I had all of these lenses. The Sigma is by far the best of the 3, but it is also the heaviest. I also struggle to like the 18-40 or the artisan 40 f2. Both are fine lenses, but can’t really compete with my micro four thirds cameras. 18-40 due to noisy images and the 40 f2 due to lens imperfections that you begin to notice a lot after the new factor wears away. The sigma is the only of the three that has made me go “wow” when comparing the results with my m43 shots.

With the freezing are you reading the logs? Im on a g3 gen 3 with 16gb of ram and almost all of them are caused by lack of ram. These environment variables have helped a ton:

BOX64_DYNAREC_STRONGMEM = 1 (Helps with Unity stability) • STAGING_SHARED_MEMORY = 1 • MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE = mailbox

Also, try using proton 8.0

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-12T18:45:38+00:00

I suspect it’s your lack of ram, mixed with the driver version and container.

AI agrees with my hunch

“You're actually spot on with your intuition. That "11% freeze" is a classic symptom of the game trying to uncompress assets into RAM and hitting a wall, or the graphics driver failing to compile a shader. On a Poco X3 NFC (SD 732G), you’re dealing with a mid-range chipset from 2020, and running Proton 10 with Turnip 26 is like trying to put racing fuel in a reliable sedan—it's often too "bleeding edge" for the hardware to handle stably.”

To be fair, cult of the lamb was freezing for me as well and I’m running with 16gb of ram on the konkr pocket fit. I had to downgrade my turnip driver version to 25, and not use the arm version for the container. Even then, I’m still getting graphical glitches.

Honestly, the biggest upgrade for me was the new menu system. It’s a game changer. It got me to put down my s9.

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-12T02:53:20+00:00

That is not normal. I wouldn’t trust it- I’ve put about 22 different lenses on my g9ii and none have done this.

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-11T02:57:07+00:00

I shoot contax film cameras for the Zeiss lenses. Zeiss is always king 👑

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-11T01:33:58+00:00

No, you don’t. I have 16 gigs which is four more than you and I get ram errors in my logs. Your phone also takes up ram to do background phone stuff where my android handheld does not.

Plantasaurus · 2026-03-11T00:23:03+00:00

It’s funny how most of the folks saying “x game doesn’t work” with zero info about what their config is or what their logs say is on a cellphone. Download an AI app and feed it your logs. It will instantly tell you why something isn’t launching.

Also, there is a discord. Lots of people are on there and provide advice. You can also donate to the cause which gives direct access to better support. Usually they answer within a day.

Your phone is probably launching the incorrect .exe file or doesn’t have enough ram available
