The US really needs a replacement, for example a national digital ID based on PKI… you revoke their access to the account, and everything else that uses the account can keep working
There is already an open standard growing around exactly this concept, Web5 Distributed IDs (DID): https://dev.to/tbdevs/what-is-web5-233o
Disclosure: I worked on the implementation for an Open Banking company (does that need to be disclosed? <shrug> I’m including it lest someone think I’m a shill)
Okay, I just recorded some h.265 footage with a Pixel 7a. I haven’t had a chance to pull the video into Resolve (another Blackmagic product). Using Camera 2 is intuitive* and powerful. Quick, intuitive controls for focus, exposure, and white balance locks. Easy focus and exposure, easy access to the controls I need on the fly. I didn’t see a RAW video option, but the gamut looks reasonable enough to be able to apply a LUT and still get the final effect I want. YMMV, however I think this results in video that I can use when I’m shooting in situations where I don’t want to use my bigger video camera. This is now my go-to for quick shoots and conditions when I don’t want to use the bigger, more expensive cameras.
So, thanks OP for this post!
*Gawd, I hate that word for software, but it fits here.
Halo effect warning. I own/use some other Blackmagic camera, controls, and software; they’re industrial strength. I was irrationally avoiding them for reasons I can’t even recall now. Probably some BS “Who are they? They can’t possibly be any good.” So I’m excited to try this out, but my knee jerk reaction is: FINALLY! Blackmagic’s products IMO have so much attention to things pros need, that even if this is only so-so, it could easily evolve into making Android phones a semi-proper video camera competitor to iOS ProRes.
Yeah, that doesn’t really answer your question, but hopefully adds some context to something something cinnamon toast crunch.
Yes, it’s duct tape.

Not to be confused with transcoding, which is important to viewing media.
When was the last time you even tried to live without buying anything built by exploited labor, abusive extraction processes, and run by oligarchs? You can’t. It would maybe look like a hunter-gatherer or maybe a primitive pastoral life. It is literally impossible for any of us to be having this discussion in this medium without some of exploitation and/or abuse. There is no moral consumption under capitalism, hell probably even impossible under any globalism.
So fuck right the fuck off with your sanctimonious bullshit.
OP asked about amateur radio bands, which are mutually exclusive of 802.11 bands.
Got a source on that? According to Backblaze, Seagate seems to be doing okay (Backblaze Drive Stats for Q1 2024 https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-drive-stats-for-q1-2024/), especially given how many models are in operation.
Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording. It uses a laser to heat the drive platter, allowing for higher areal density and increased capacity.
I am ignorant on the CMR/SMR differences in performance
Pssh… call me when they’re dipping in McD Szechuan sauce. That’s the real sign of intelligence.
I grew up in NY. The gun control laws were draconian 45 years ago. I can’t imagine they have become more lax since I departed the state 30 years ago.
My misguided, ignorant younger self would absolutely assume self-blame.
Now I’ve got engineering powers and skillz! I can rationalize… errrr, I mean EXPLAIN my missteps with root cause analyses and preventative actions! 😆
Wow, yeah, it sounds like they shit in their own lunchbox. I’m always disappointed, but never surprised, to see the arc of a business move in the direction you describe. It’s like they never learn about the death spiral of taking away the features that made them great.
I never got into SoundCloud, so I’m categorically ignorant here. What made it good in the first place and how/why does it suck now? Thanks.
My read of it was “the C-suite hates when the engineers actually know how shit works, and the leadership must kowtow to the people doing the actual work.” YMMV or the commentor may have meant something completely different.
This is a serious bummer all around. But wow, does that article suck on its lack of detail. But I guess actually digging into the facts wouldn’t make for clickable headlines. “Oooooh, DRONES!”
Was the drone part of monitoring/firefighting efforts? If it was, that is a terrible error on the part of the sUAS operator and observer. Then again, smoke and fire, which would make for a less interesting story. “Drone participating in firefighting hits plane.” Editor: Boooring! Let’s make it vague so we can cash in on some drone fears.
Lots of drones won’t even fly in a TFR zone. More professional drones will warn the pilot AND provide a warning about planes in proximity.
All sUAS 250 grams and larger are required to have RemoteID. Plenty of drones won’t even fly unless the RemoteID is functioning fully. And if it shits the bed during flight, lots of drones will just automatically land. Again, except for more professional models or for small cheapies. So one of two things are true: the FAA knows exactly who the responsible party is, or the operator is an utter douchecanoe
