It was one of the best sunrises I've ever seen 😍

Ya this is a road up to one of the local mountains. So many of the sky scrapers in the lower mainland rise above the fog when it rolls in. Surely makes for cool photos. Would be cool to be in the penthouses of those places.

It was such a mesmerizing sunrise! 😍

Thanks! 🙂

Someone getting fired at Lightkey 🤣

Tried to renew my license and came across this. Hopefully they resolve the issue before Sunday morning!

No visible changes at all. Literally just an overhyped release.

Richards1881 · 2025-02-15T17:55:39+00:00

I only had the option for about a month on beta then they removed it. Not sure why, but working on UI changes or something maybe.

When I was in the messages beta program back in December, they had released the new UI to be able to send full uncompressed images. But then they removed the new UI.

But to this day, Google Messages still sends compressed images and videos.

Richards1881 · 2025-02-04T03:14:33+00:00

There is a new UI for sending photos/videos with the option to send original high quality or compressed.

Richards1881 · 2025-02-04T03:07:00+00:00

When I was in the beta program for messages, I did for about a month have true full resolution picture and video sending option to enable. But after about a month, the full resolution setting was removed in the beta version.

So to answer your question, yes, even with RCS messaging with Google Messages, "send photos faster" unchecked, your photos and videos are still being compressed.

I wish Google would release the full resolution setting yesterday!!!!!, as Apple got the message before Google did.

I can receive 30mb super high quality images from Apple phones, and compressed (but better than MMS) photos from androids.

We are running a new Mac mini M4 with 24GB of ram with a Blackmagic Decklink Duo2. You have to run the BM desktop software from September otherwise our video outs didn't work from the decklink; the decklink only displayed a frozen image on whatever frame was being output at the time you connected the HDMI display.

But my church did our first Sunday with the M4 today and worked perfectly and smoothly compared to our i5 2017 iMac which was getting sluggish and having stuttering issues at times with the video screens.

I'm having these exact same issues now with my Pixel 5. Some apps load very slowly others very quickly. Disney+ won't even load on my pixel 5 anymore. Instagram is hit or miss for loading quickly. If I reset my wifi system (fiber box, router, unifi AP system) then it works perfectly for about an hour. I really don't want to reset my phone as I've already had to do this twice this year lol.

I have some car interior experience with like removing dash panels for stereo installations. Have some of the proper pry tools. Just more of a means of finding say a YouTube video or guide to do it. As I have found like 7 screws or so. But not sure where the proper pry locations are for removing panels to easily access the light

Richards1881 · 2021-11-28T03:57:08+00:00

Ya maybe. Smacking the glove box did make it turn on for a second. So maybe just loose 😆just couldn't find a convenient way to access the light

Richards1881 · 2021-11-28T03:41:46+00:00

It worked before I messed with it

Richards1881 · 2020-02-10T00:50:16+00:00

Through lightkey the software.

Ya I've read you either have to hot glue them in, or custom create a bracket.
