    I think it’s worthwhile to note this is under a light with a color temperature similar to sunlight. When you’re actually painting, skin can really be any color. Blue is a perfectly…

    Eh, I don’t think it’s the same thing. The gulf between “photos user” and “pixelmator” user is quite high, much more so than “weather app” and “weather app but better”. In particul…

    No. If you’re that kind of power user, the iMac isn’t for you. Get a Mac mini or studio.

    Many of these are customer service desks which are visible from the side.

    When was the last time you saw a GPU with slottable memory? For transfer speeds, look at the data sheets for the M series. Much faster than DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. In the ballpark of GPU…

    The ram is on the package for more than portability. It’s necessary for fast enough transfer speeds for the iGPU.

    First, there's an official position: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Official_White_House_Pho... Secondly, why would it be a coincidence? You don't think... the people in the s…

    It doesn't. A loss is a loss.

    I think being into NFTs and crypto makes you a fool. But I do not think fools should suffer vision damage, or that they deserve harm on them.

    RAW video isn’t like RAW photography. The sheer size of raw footage is insane - it’s normal for cameras to be unable to record RAW footage natively without an external recorder. Th…

    That depends on what the goal is. It's worthless if you're trying to convince the other side. But in many cases, you're actually trying to convince the audience , and certainly for…

    To not be too pedantic about "ever", the current prosumer camera market is not shrinking, is growing, and the main manufacturers are increasing the pace of production, as models li…

    I mean, you'd also probably want to shoot at something other than 26mm. The image quality from the "telephoto" lens and wide lens on the iPhone (and any other flagship) is so bad i…

    I don't think that's a fair characterization of the market. $300 point and shoots are indeed dead, but the prosumer photography market is as alive as ever, especially since the pan…

    Sure, and that's the merchant's issue? There are no lack of merchants that take credit cards without any further measures like that. And because you used a credit card, you can, an…

    What part of Zelle isn't safe, fast, and convenient, that is actually scoped under Zelle's responsibilities? Zelle is for moving money from bank account A to bank account B - that'…

    What part of that is the fault of using a credit card? I'm extra confused since Amazon came into this, where you distinctly are able to use credit cards? With a credit card, you ha…

    Idk, BART generally is considered to be dangerous and/or dirty but I don’t think the muni rails are considered as such when I lived there. They were generally pretty clean and not …

    I'm pretty sure it would detect the flat tire, alert a technician, and refuse to move.

    Disagree on what? What angle is this from? Their bosses? The police? As a reader of journalism, I appreciate that they tested this edge case. I am not responsible for their safety,…

    Muni is actually fairly clean and safe, it just goes nowhere.

    It only recently went from “closed beta for free” to “charges anyone who wants to get on”. SF just cleared them to take fares.

    It’s a good thing to test as a reporter. There are too many people for at least one person not to do something dumb, or fall onto while doing something dumb, so it’s good to know n…

    That’s pretty much how all payment processors work. The issue for them is that letting fraudsters continue making payments will lead to big Ls for the payment processors, since the…
