Ok, that is pretty bad. As mentioned, I've had it happen once. I use the app search function a lot, which I've set to the swipe up gesture, and it just stopped working that day. Had to find a way to force reset the launcher. Having that happen every 2-3 days to multiple times a day would be a dealbreaker for me.
Oh yea, I tried that too, nope, just simply can't compare. That's why Adobe still gets my money as much as I don't want to give it to them. Luckily the Photography plan hasn't increased in price... yet.
Yea, that was my take as well. Try RawTherapee, they said. Nope, inferior, there were some photos where I could spot them in full-screen view, not even at 100%.
Don't forget, control the sale of data too. Audits etc to make sure they comply with privacy safeguards, and so on.
This is just pandering as well as, I suspect, to give a corporate donor a profit-making business.
I think this is more tied with advertising analytics, but I share the same opinion. I don't love it, but it's not a killer. The fediverse tends to attract a more idealistic and paranoid crowd, which I don't think is reflective of how most people are.
As other people mentioned, an Osprey. I recently gave away an old shoulder bag by them that I got back in the early 2000s. That's 20 years ago! Still works, just didn't need that kind of bag any more. Currently have one of their newer Arcane bags, and so far, it's been promising after a year.
Hmm, I've had it happen once, thought it was odd. Are you on a Samsung too, like the other comment? How often does it happen?
Honestly, don't care. Until it gets shitty (which it still has a good chance of doing so), I'll continue to use it.
Ah, right, I don't have AI on my phones. Can't you just ignore them though?
That's just a you thing, the two I mentioned are earbuds.
Ooo, I like how you use the IKEA boxes for that.
I'm partial to the succulent ones, those look so cute.
Despite this community's paranoia, I still use Nova. Can't find anything that works as well yet.
Disclaimer that I bought the pro version for 99 cents way way back, so I've gotten my mileage out of that.
Also if you don't mind Microsoft, the MS launcher isn't too bad too. I'm using that on the work phone.
Huh, I've always updated and there's usually not much change. There are some minor ones but they don't affect my day-to-day. The biggest ones the major version changes, but even then it's usually a new font or some minor display tweak more than anything. I haven't felt like it's been disruptive.
I have earphones that are 15-20 years old (UE Triple-fi 10s and Yuin PK2s, the first wave of Chi-fi products), 2-3 year (or even 5) lifespan for audio products is insane.
Huh, Ha Long Bay is a ghost town? It's one of the most crowded places in Vietnam, I didn't go there when I went because it has a reputation of a factory; tourists in, tourists out, on a schedule.
Soon as I saw Walton Goggins on the cast list, I knew it had to be good somewhere. He never disappoints.
Just wanted to chime in as well: Thought I'd watch one episode, watched all eight in the end. It was really good.
Technically, it's easier, because there were 0 in the past. :P But yes, the variety of choice is dazzling!
Late to this, but you can't call tactiles "brown" anymore; ever since Cherry's patent expired some 10 years ago the market has exploded. Right now I'm typing on a franken tester board with some 30 tactiles of different make and model, and I barely have scratched 20% of the tactile switches available on the market, by my estimation.
In addition to a scale, a vacuum jar. Storing your coffee right helps. With the right container, even ground coffee will last a month.

The Nikon Zf is a 24MP full-frame mirrorless camera with classic looks that adds the latest Expeed 7 processor and features such as 3D Tracking AF to the $2000 price point currently addressed by the Nikon Z6 II.
My own take: This looks nicer than the Df I tested years ago. If I had disposable income I'd just get this with 3-4 primes.
As some of you may know, szmer.info is a domain that's basically full of spammers, so I blocked it. However upon doing so a thread (https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/344185/I-m-worried-that-in-the-future-we-will-be-forced) I was reading basically disappeared from my feed, and on reloading it all the comments disappeared. I went through the comments and I don't think any of the users were from szmer.info, so I'm wondering what triggered this behaviour. Is this a bug or did I miss out on something? Thanks!
Having read and watched about flat-bottom and conical pourovers thanks to a previous post, I thought of two things: What about the common electric drip machine, and also will there be any difference with local coffee, since I've only used the drip machine exclusively with that?
The common coffee in my area is very different from what most experience here: It's a very dark roast of Robusta caramalised with sugar. I was thinking a conical pourover won't change it much, would it?
Turns out the answer is yes, it does. I understand what "clarity" means now, I definitely felt the difference. The downside is the acidity that people were referencing about with conical filters also came out, and it's not exactly a flavour I enjoy. Thanks to everyone whose previous comments made me try this little experiment. I'm now looking to the next step and get a flat bottom brewer!
I was a Nikon shooter for a long while, starting with a Nikon F100 in the film days (something about that camera just felt so right to use), and while I've moved over to Micro Four Thirds, I still like to see what Nikon are up to. The Z lenses line up has been pretty interesting, except for the Tamron rebrands (because taking them, slapping the Nikon logo and charging a 30% markup just doesn't sit well with me). The 180-600 in particular looks like a nice upgrade from the 200-500/5.6. While it's quite a bit more expensive than the predecessor, the extra reach and potentially better image quality from the MTF might make it worth the increased cost. Oh and it's also a little lighter than the older lens.
Now if only there were a Z version of the D500...
Wooo, looks like DPReview have been saved. Has anyone heard of Gear Patrol though?
Feels odd that such an instituition of the web needs stewardship by a lesser-known entity.
