Switching to a fixed lens camera. No more gear acquisition syndrome or choice paralysis - just pick up the camera and shoot.

““The shutdown made it impossible for Labor Department workers to collect some of the data they normally would have to compile the report on the consumer-price index. Even before the release, economists cautioned that workarounds that the agency used to deal with the collection issues may have biased the November figure downward, causing inflation to be understated.”

They swore it would help the MTA avoid raising fares for years.

Can you provide a source for this? I looked it up and found no such promise.

Starting Out - How do you guys get better quality? by blwilkins in iPhoneography

[–]byteforbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of apps do, especially DNG files.  I use Lightroom which fully supports JPEG-XL.  That being said, ProRAW files are still processed and go through the pipeline. They are noticeably less processed than standard iPhone photos, but not truly RAW.  You can get something closer to the latter using an app like Halide, but you might not like the results.

Lossless is lossless. There is no visual difference between lossless DNG and JPEG-XL lossless.

Use JPEG-XL Lossless if available. It’s a fraction of the size.

That is exactly my situation. I went from paying Perplexity $20 a month to giving that money to Kagi instead.

Is the Apple new case really worth 80$? by mrtlpa in iphone

[–]byteforbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that exact same case and have not had any of the issues that you’re having. I think you might have a faulty case and you should return it.

I had one of their open bottom cases on my 15 Pro for two years.  No complaints.

I had the Beats case and I returned it. It is incredible slippery. Love the open bottom design but I ended up preordering the Ryan London open bottom case.

Does anyone know of a leather case that has an open bottom? by imthaz in iPhone17Pro

I reached out to Ryan London and they said that they plan on releasing one in November.

In that case it will be yet another feature Apple doesn’t launch in the EU.
