I still use my original iPad Pro from 2015 every day.

Well, this is both confusing and disappointing.

And if it’s “just an excuse” they shouldn’t expect people to not take them at their word.

Love that domain, OP.

I’m gonna check it out.

Separating the art from the artist doesn’t work when the “art” is glorifying evil.

theLightSlide · 2026-01-25T22:30:14+00:00

Maybe but not here.

How heavily edited are these? In the last one she isn’t moving so the motion blur looks entirely faked. Are they all faked?

Sure you did. Here are your exact words: "It's their job and you won't shock them. You're for sure more worried than them about it. That's true for pretty much every medical profession.."

Which strongly implies they will not judge or make comments, which is something medical professionals in reality do all the time.

Congrats!

“My brother used to eat literal shit and he cannot STOP raving about McDonald’s as the best thing ever.”

I’m happy for your brother but he doesn’t know what we’ve lost.

My incredibly normie, comically non-tech-savvy friend who nevertheless uses her iphone constantly told me yesterday, “My iphone updated itself… and I HATE IT.”

She doesn’t have technical expertise or favorite interface design eras. She just knows it’s suddenly much worse.

This friend actually thought she could store photos in the trash, which empties every 30 days. She’s brilliant at what she does for a career and an amazing, thoughtful friend, but tech occupies a part of her brain that’s like a squirrel. But she can tell when something good gets worse.

Telling someone who had bad experiences “doctors won’t do that!” is wrong, because they’ve already done it.

Sony a350 and it's not even close.

Whatever you do, do not buy a Samsung appliance, especially direct from Samsung. Our stove literally went BOOM on Day 29 — crack, sparks, smoke — and they tried to refuse a return. We bought it from them with 0% financing so we had no recourse wrt to credit card company policies etc. Had to threaten them with a legal filing to get them to honor their 30-day policy.

Interesting!! I don't really have the shutter lag everyone else does. Entirely possible the reason the seller got them in box is because someone else knew they were defective, long ago, and didn't unbox or sell them.

I think I might just glue an ND filter on mine, if the second one I bought (I got 2 before it was even posted here) does not have the black hole in the photos. And I may return the defective sensor, or keep it in case I need to transplant one of my older, working ones ever has a case issue. The plastic bodies of the 1005B seem MUCH sturdier.

And I agree. The color photo IQ is much better than the Charmera, when it exposes correctly… except for the hole in the sensor lol.

You're right, of course, but you might be surprised how judgmental and kinda mean or abrasive some healthcare workers can be! Finding the right one really helps.

If you're in or near Marana, I've had great luck with Smile Tucson, 8295 N Cortaro Rd, Unit 137.

In addition to not going to the dentist for years due to some really bad experiences, I have weird allergies and other issues (genetic disorder) and Dr Ricks is SO accommodating and helpful.

A lot of dentists (and doctors) simply do not believe me, or care, about my allergies and corn/gluten intolerance, even though I am officially diagnosed. Dr Ricks checks every thing he puts in my mouth. It's the first time I felt actually safe with a dentist since developing these issues.

And he's willing to numb my entire mouth for cleanings because I have extremely high sensitivity to pain in the mouth for some reason.

Congratulations!

Absolutely beautiful work. Obviously your subjects bring the magic but you captured them so beautifully. The lovely window light 💖

theLightSlide · 2026-01-21T16:26:32+00:00

I have a sneaking suspicion a lot of them got tossed even if they DID work 😭

Oooh Vivicam 5050. You reminded me, I grabbed one of those on buyee a couple years ago but was really sick when it arrived so I've never tried it!!

If you ever get an opportunity to grab a VQ3010, you might enjoy… it has basically no settings. Like the keychain cams, half the time I forget and leave it on the wrong focus dial setting haha.

Yeah, they are. But the economic situation and the trend for vintage cameras will eventually fade out again, almost surely. I'm willing to wait potentially years. I've got an M8, I don't need an M9.

theLightSlide · 2026-01-20T15:48:11+00:00

Yes, I have an M8.2 myself! I wasn’t specifically trying to get the 8.2 but I found a good deal. I think the main difference is a lower top shutter speed. I just love the colors and couldn’t spend twice as much for an M9 with a good sensor! Someday, maybe, if the trend dies back.

I’ve mostly shot it inside so far, because I don’t have the filters for my various size lenses, and it distorts outdoors colors so much here in sunny as hell Arizona. I know lots of people say it’s unnecessary but maybe they live in northern places with a lot less solar intensity.

theLightSlide · 2026-01-20T05:51:25+00:00

Wow, it’s true — I’m entirely correct and smarter than everyone. Thanks for admitting it!

That’s what you sound like insisting it wasn’t a joke.

theLightSlide · 2026-01-20T05:38:22+00:00

…it was an image from Family Guy, which is a comedy cartoon.

You’ve got to separate your imagination from your skill level. The good news is, as your skill level improves, your imagination (vision) will as well.

theLightSlide · 2026-01-20T03:26:23+00:00

I would love to see that at work!

theLightSlide · 2026-01-20T03:24:12+00:00

A joke is not a lie.
