> I think the headline is problematic because it suggests the raw photos aren't very good and thus need processing
That’s not how I read either the headline or the article at all. I read it as “this is a ‘raw photo’ fresh off your camera sensor, and this is everything your camera does behind the scenes to make that into something that we as humans recognize as a photo of something.” No judgements or implications that the raw photo is somehow wrong and something manufacturers should eliminate or “game”
I bought a 64GB model for around €200 from someone who bought it for his kids, but these kids did not like it.
I already did a lot of research on the device, plus i have over a thousand games in my Steam library, so this made it a very logical purchase. I ordered a 1TB disk from Amazon and installed within 15 minutes thanks to the IFixit documentation.
It’s a very versatile piece of hardware if you want it to be. Game emulation is very easy. Open Office and Kodi work flawlessly. HDMI output can be done with a cheap chinese adapter. Bluetooth takes care of other devices.
It’s BIOS is pretty easy and can boot from almost any device you can connect via the USB-C port.
Even running Windows 11 is possible, because Valve supplies the drivers for it. I tried it just for fun. How to reinstall the (Arch) Steam OS is well documented.
My kids love playing Lego City on it. I love playing Beat Hazard 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim and The Witcher 3 on it.
Will i buy the Steam Machine? Depends on the cost and it’s possibilities. If it can run streaming media like Netflix easily, it could make a very interesting replacement for the current media pc we’re using.
It still seems wild to me that almost 5 years into this war, Europe is still relying on America to help them with Ukraine. Should be pretty obvious by now that Americans have no real interest in this war one way or the other.
I think what makes this feel different isn’t the sabre rattling, which i agree has always happened. But just how many large economic powers are at it concurrently.
America is using rhetoric that threatens a civil war right now.
Israel is attacking all of their neighbours.
Europe is shifting to the most nationalist versions of parliaments we’ve seen since the Second World War.
And we are see massive global economic decline, civil unrest, and a general atmosphere that things need to change. Unfortunately that often becomes a precursor for war because war is, initially at least, good for business.
As someone who’s middle aged and always watched the news closely until very recently, I’ve found I’ve had to stop eating precisely because the current climate feels the closest to another world war that we’ve seen since the previous one.
The Golf War was scary because of its risk of escalation, as was the cold war. But what we are seeing presently is actual escalation and by more countries. And seemingly with a population that’s not entirely against the domestic policies that lead to such escalation.
Do you mean one should post their reviews of last 10 books read into Gemini and then ask it to find 20 rare-gems books based on the content of those reviews?
Pretty sure Powermock is dead in the water now, it did some pretty gnarly things (like patching `Object`) that flat out didn't work in later versions of Java.
I (ironically enough) spent some time replacing usages of it in Kafka test code with Mockito because of this, IIRC there was only one situation where Mockito couldn't easily replace Powermock and I'm pretty sure it was mocking out a private static method, so the solution was to refactor the code under test so that you didn't need to mock a private static method to test it.
Hey sorry, I didn't knew that. I had watched the short form content (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eSnlgBlgMp8) [Asus is going to save gaming] and I didn't knew that It was a rumour.
Creating engaging video content often requires cameras, editing skills, and significant time investment.InfiniteTalk explores a different approach by using AI to turn static images into natural-looking talking videos.
The platform focuses on realistic lip sync and facial animation, allowing users to combine a single image with voice audio to generate speaking videos. This can be useful for product demos, educational explainers, quick announcements, or lightweight content experiments where speed matters more than full video production.
For developers, founders, and creators interested in practical AI video generation tools, Infinite Talk offers an accessible way to test image-to-video workflows without complex setup or traditional production pipelines.
Isn't that exactly what privilege is though? A measure of a person's ability to be part of that self-selected pool, and to shield yourself from issues that affect other people?
I'm highly interested in approaches that utilize web grain in a balanced practical way. Do you have a framework/toolbelt or example sites to share? Would love to see.
It utlizes custom elements, has autohooks for granular DOM updates, uses native JS template literal syntax for interpolation, imposes ordered component structure:
I would much rather a refresh every 5+ years with a more profound hardware improvement. I'm even fine with closer to 10 years if the technology hasn't changed that much at the 5 year mark.
More likely the UX team touched AVP last, so some of the design language influenced what they were building.
The goal is most likely to unify the experience around iPadOS, so that one codebase ports down the phone and watch and over to the Mac and AVP.
The delta between Mac and iPad UX elements goes down every release. The latest one gave the iPad a menu bar and multi window support.
Looking at it from a certain angle, the iOS codebase is the only one which has a native team for a lot of large companies - they might not even create larger views for an iPad native version, and may instead ship Electron for the macOS release. Apple is trying to recruit the native mobile team to be able to support native releases for the whole ecosystem.
>There’s nothing that happens when you adjust the contrast or white balance in editing software that the camera hasn’t done under the hood. The edited image isn’t “faker” then the original: they are different renditions of the same data.
I am aware of that, I am of the opinion that MacBook Air provides too little time for bust usage. Or in a perfect world Apple could make the MacBook Pro super thin but with fan. Right now I think the Air is better in terms of weight.
