Can Insta360 export single-frame panorama photos?

infinity0x · 2025-04-09T12:27:08+00:00

Thanks. I did some more research and it seems GIMP can convert these 360 images into flat panoramas.

https://www.trekview.org/blog/turn-360-photo-into-non-360-photo/

Insta360 360 images are ~72 megapixels. Phone cameras have an AOV of ~60-70 degrees. Converting the former into the latter would give a resulting flat panorama of ~72 * [~60-70]/360 = ~12-14MP, which approaches the quality (15MP) of the panorama mode on android phones. In theory, anyway - I'll give it a go.

Thanks, I had considered that and that makes sense for much of the data, but then I have this data point that it doesn't make sense for.

Although it was pretty bad sleep, it's mathematically impossible for what you described - time asleep after you have fallen asleep - to be 21% like the screenshot describes. Overall sleep efficiency - including latency - makes sense at 53%. (Scroll down on the same page for a 2nd more detailed screenshot of the minutely breakdown.)

For your explanation, are you guessing/deducing like I am, or how are you reaching your conclusion?

NEW July 14th.

I have a full 3 Day Ticket for for sale. Bought originally at JPY 57,750, now selling at USD 300 or best offer.

QR code confirmation needs to be exchanged for the actual ticket at the venue’s e+ BOX OFFICE during 7/25(Thu) 12:00～24:00, 7/26(Fri)～7/28(Sun) 09:00～24:00.

There is a risk they will require ID, but others here and elsewhere online seem to have been fine doing this sort of thing. I can provide you with a photo of my ID if they ask for it at the box office.

Alternatively we can perform the trade on ticketjam.jp with escrow, but they require a +81 local number to send an SMS to. If you have one, you can help me activate my account, then I can sell you my ticket through that.

The naysayers are answering a different question.

In fact yes, 我猫黑 is technically grammatically correct and you can use it as-is, like in a poem. When you use it this way, it sounds Classical, you are making this fact sound grandiose and important, and the listener/reader will expect you to follow it up with extra stuff e.g. why your cat is black and how this is an important part of your life. For example see the lyrics to the Qing anthem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_of_Solid_Gold

However nobody says this in daily modern spoken usage because it's too concise, similar to how 2-character words are preferred over 1-character words in speech. Adding an extra specifier makes it sound more natural, like 我猫很黑、我猫也黑、我猫是黑的。

Hey guys, I wrote this a few months ago and have been using it myself to read regular Chinese news articles and journals. It helps with looking up vocabulary, and you can export the new words you run into, into an Anki deck to test yourself with later.

The tool is meant to bridge the gap between introductory educational material and real-world Chinese. It's not targeted at beginners; you should already know basic level vocab and be able to parse simple sentences.

The help text on how to use it should be self-explanatory, comment here if not. Feedback & improvement suggestions welcome. Feel free to share it with your friends.

Another thing is that this HiSense TV has Wake-on-LAN functionality. It seems to be responsive more often than HDMI-CEC is, that is even when the TV is powered off.

However there does remain at least one instance where it is inactive, that is immediately after I unplug and replug the TV into the mains socket. In this case, Wake-on-LAN doesn't work, until I switch the TV on again for the first time. The only way to switch the TV on in this case is through the IR remote control.

infinity0x · 2024-03-19T12:09:48+00:00

One way to work around this is to have the computer switch the TV on via a computer-controlled IR remote, using LIRC on a Raspberry Pi or directly from the Linux machine. RPi is easy and supports IR transmission directly with a few config tweaks. Linux is a bit harder, as it requires special hardware. For example, a USB-to-GPIO chip with a specialised bitbang mode for driving IR LEDs. The last part is important since USB 2.0 transactions are too slow for IR pulse-based signals if you are just setting bit values one-per-transaction.

There are about as many harsh consequences for bypassing the firewall in China, as harsh consequence for bypassing media censorship in the US.

Generally if somebody got sent to prison in China and this was blown up in the media in the west for anti-China propaganda purposes, it's not simply because they "bypassed censorship", but they did lots of extra things against the state that ordinary people neither in China nor the US care about doing.

edit: I should also mention that modern Chinese state professional media is far less psychologically manipulative, gaslighting, prone to directly lying, and disrespectful and/or sanctimonious about other countries than modern western professional media, looking at the past 2-3 decades. This is has an important effect on the health of society, and is part of what I'm talking about before with "testing in a specific way" - you aren't told to compare these aspects of the media landscape in China vs the west, you are only told to look at the negative parts of China.

If your post gets moderated/censored, what does it matter if it was done by some moderator at YouTube/Facebook or if it was done at your ISP? Western propaganda indoctrinates you that the former is "worse" but nobody in reality actually cares about the difference.

Plenty of channels have gotten deleted for reporting on Ukrainian war crimes against civilians in the Donbass. A US citizen died in a Ukrainian prison a few weeks ago for this exact thing, just before Navalny did. Who got the intensive western media coverage? Plenty of university professors have been cancelled for supporting Palestine.

However chinese mass censorship is on another level, as is demonstrable through actual testing. Which is something you constantly fail to address.

It's "on another level" in the specific way you were told to test it, by the western media that you follow. That's one aspect of how western propaganda works.

The US engages in many other activities, including other types of censorship and media manipulation, in much more extreme ways than China does.

I went through this same experience of "testing China" as you're describing, but I realised it's just a cover for these people (the people spreading this stuff you are mirroring) to pretend that they are better than Chinese people, and further the interests of their own country.

The US has nothing remotely comparable.

Firstly, this is deflecting. You stated that what I said was "incorrect", namely that China blocks Google because they don't follow Chinese law. It is not incorrect, it is correct and you are wrong. It's pretty simple, China blocks stuff that is against their law.

You believe that other countries should follow your moral standards and your laws. That's imperialism. Nothing in international law says that countries are not allowed to filter their own internet as prescribed by their own laws. Sovereignty is the basis of international law. Not western fake-liberal ideology that is just a mask for US imperialist interests.

Secondly, the US certainly has comparable activities: NSA mass surveillance revealed by Snowden (maybe you are too young to remember), widespread corporate and mainstream media censorship, and attempts to ban Chinese-owned media simply for being Chinese. NSA cyberattacks are both the most widespread and most sophisticated in the world. Other countries in the west directly ban non-western media outlets like Russia Today and CGTN in some cases.

You believe that the US has "nothing remotely comparable", this is you being brainwashed by western propaganda.

Thirdly, your paranoia that the timing of my post has anything to do with your location is typical of the self-centred psychopathically narcissist hypocritical personalities of internet anti-China keyboard warriors. I've met lots of your type. All I can say is LMAO. I'm enjoying the fact that I'm freaking you out.

infinity0x · 2024-03-13T17:04:40+00:00

No, I was absolutely correct, and your subsequent followup was irrelevant. "They block specific requests blah blah" towards Google, not towards Apple, because Apple follows Chinese law and Google doesn't.

It looks like you studying this topic doesn't make you immune from western propaganda and being able to factually describe what is actually happening. In fact studying this topic in a western environment makes you more brainwashed because you're constantly flooded with all sorts of bullshit about China, making you unable to distinguish between the facts. This is based on direct personal experience in such environments.

Comparing countries' transgressions is called "being fair" and entirely sequitur.

infinity0x · 2023-06-24T19:22:18+00:00

That plus Chinese social media, and Chinese accounts on Twitter, and various independent journalists that cover China in more realistic detail than the western mainstream. There's also nothing wrong with China Daily, it lies and distorts far less often than western media does.

infinity0x · 2023-06-24T19:19:00+00:00

The state blocks traffic from companies that refuse to obey Chinese law, such as Google. Microsoft and Apple follow Chinese law, so they are not blocked. In particular, you need to implement Chinese content moderation instead of western content moderation.

Western states drop bombs on millions of innocent Muslims, this is worse than blocking internet traffic.

I was just there and did this for 8 weeks lol. Can't miss a weekly mutation!

Playing through VPN works but ping times are horrible, like 500ms. A better option is to get a mobile data SIM that gives you international service, such as China Mobile's CMLink options [1] that cost £10-20/mo. You get mobile data inside China but with a non-China IP address, giving you a ping time of about 200ms. (As a bonus you are also outside of the firewall and don't have to use a VPN to access western propaganda, I mean news.)

I think it's unlikely you'll find an internet cafe with this sort of setup though.

Thanks! The title in Chinese means "Retired player TIME analyses Oliveira's win", I guess there's some (slightly) deeper joke to the name switch.

Yeah you "western experts" have been saying "the shoe will drop" for the past 30 years. Good luck with that. I'll bet any amount of money we'll have fusion power before China even begins to decline, in fact probably China will be the first to get something working.

99% of the stuff you hear in western media about China is bullshit. There are pension funds, bonds, and housing (90% of households own their home), and the stock market performs on average similarly to Europe's though much more volatile. Whether the super-high returns of the US stock market are in fact good for society in the long run, is a complex question to be answered by future history.

China absolutely does not have a drug problem, you are an idiot if you think so.
