    This is why I really appreciate YT channels like Project Farm.

    >The one actual professional (as in paid as main income) photographer I know doesn't talk about the technology or the brand of camera they use at all because it's mostly moot: it's…

    I think it depends on the use case. Cameras are already downsizing, DSLRs are long dead and mirrorless are not just the future, they're now the present. I don't think size is the i…

    Don't Look Up was fantastic. I don't think there's another movie that more accurately portrays the absurdity of modern society.

    >True but how often is the battery the issue in an enterprise environment? Biggest issue by far. We have a fleet of 100+ MacBooks in my office and expanded batteries are probably t…

    Hard disagree. I work for a company of 5000+ users and we're full G-Suite now. We just went all in on Workspace. Previous two companies (650 users, 250 users), were also gull G-Sui…

    An LDAP offering that competes with AD and integrates with OSX would be gigantic. I work in VFX where 95% of our hardware runs Linux, our laptops all Apple, and the only Windows ma…

    Well technically it is an Apple to Apple comparison in his case.

    I know it's completely subjective, but I'm currently on a work provided 2018 mac with the 0.7mm travel and I despise it. I have far, far more typing errors on this keyboard than I …

    Because it's a crap idea and design, I'll use a tablet if I want to poke at things. A touchscreen on a laptop is like driving a car with joysticks, it's not ergonomic. Also, Apple …

    Photo/video import mostly. I don't feel like transferring 1TB of data over crappy built-in wifi chip on my camera or having to plug the camera in and have it act as a fancy card re…

    It's their marketing term for their HDR tech. The XDR displays are their flagship media productivity monitors. The new screens in the 14/16 inch MacBooks have "XDR" tech as well.

    There's also a great VR implementation of OpenMW: https://gitlab.com/madsbuvi/openmw VR is such a great twist for replaying an old classic, but you have to mod a few things unless …

    Thanks so much for the explanation and the example. I at least know a little more about these complicated endeavours now.

    This is a great answer. Thank you. So in these situations how do you tell apart electrons from one source compared to another? In the article they mention how the LHC collides part…
