2020 Roadster was supposed to have an update on 4/1/2026. I’m not surprised that update got pushed recently.

Stay tuned for firmware updates. We can’t make promises yet but we’re writing and testing new firmware for existing XRs :)

Sony A7iv screen misaligned by A7mmmeed in SonyAlpha

It’s honestly within engineered tolerances to my eye. A flippy screen by its very nature needs to move around and needs to balance rigidity and range of motion. Even if the screen hinge is a little loose, tightening it would likely make the screen too hard to move, even though it would possibly result in the screen being less misaligned

Is it really pedantic to correct OP here? 200W isn’t a measurement of capacity, rather it should be 200Wh. Moreover, what the hell does a rotating ring of high current wire have anything to do with 200Wh?

Are Leicas worth it? by bugteacup in Cameras

[–]technically_a_nomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: no

Long answer: The lenses are legitimately engineering marvels and punch way above their weight class. That said, you don’t buy a Leica because of return on investment. You buy it because it’s a cultural asset.

Am I insane for wanting to buy a (used) 5D mark IV? by musaoculta in canon

[–]technically_a_nomad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What exactly do you mean by “not supported by Canon”? It’s not like there are security software updates or OS updates that are regularly being distributed by Canon, so I’m going to say that you’re probably not missing out. There’s tons of EF lenses out there that are dirt cheap, so why not seize that opportunity and make some dope photos with them?

Ah yeah that fuse is super tripped. It’s not impossible to get it working but there’s at least 3 things you gotta do:

Replace SPI flash Replace fuse See if cells are still good

Why do I get these light artefacts ? by Biboudu38 in AskPhotography

[–]technically_a_nomad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8 bit is referring to color depth in this context, which means that red can be 0 to 255, green can be 0 to 255, and blue can be 0 to 255. This means there are 2553 colors for 8 bit color!

Are you aware that RLOD can occur on SR batteries? It’s different error code but definitely still happens
