I deal with tech 24/7. Sometimes I just want push button, no setup gaming. I pc game, I also console game because sometimes software, hardware, drivers and other stuff just get in the way.
Just yesterday I was using moonlight to stream from my pc. It refused to display a resolution that worked just 5 minutes prior. After over an hour of troubleshooting, I almost just bought the game on Xbox so I wouldn't have to mess with it.
In some areas, ADD meds are harder to come by than coke. I'm just reporting what I see and hear. It's probably not true everywhere, but in certain areas, coke is way easier to get.
Check around at local universities. Some students upgrade along the way, or the professors might point you in the direction of local photography stores that deal in used.
Have you been in a restaurant kitchen? Coke is the goto for staff, even at their shitty pay. It's really rampant in our K-town districts, they probably get bulk discounts.
They have always categorized the 365 apps, and 365 software as 2 distinct platforms. The apps are the website based versions, while the actual 365 installs were still considered a traditional install.
This could have changed in the years I worked for them, but this could be just impacting the website versions.
Edit -Rereading the article, this does sound like all 365 software will be impacted since they used the word applications. Keep in mind though, any office prior to 2013 is officially incompatible with 10/11, but they still run in most cases without problems.
If you are starting out, I promise it doesn't matter. As far as lens, any kit lens (one that's included, typically a "zoom" lens) that has a starting mm range in the 20s would be a good start. After you get used to the camera, look at getting a faster prime lens. This is a lens with a fixed mm, like 24mm and aprime lenses are generally better quality and sharper than zoom. The f-stop with as low a number as you can afford. The lower f-stop will allow better low light photographs, if that even matters to you.
As a lens rule, 50mm is usually what our vision sees, anything less is considered wide angle. Anything more, and your zooming into be close to the subject.
My advice is to get an entry level mirrorless (you mentioned the r50) Canon, nikon or Sony. They have the largest lens catalog without needing adapters. Mirrorless will give you a more compact camera. You can save a few bucks and go traditional dslr (like the t7) or buy used and save yourself a ton of money.
For your budget, this is the best deal new I could see for what you mentioned.
I saw the preview on my Netflix feed. It comes across as Stepford wife stuff. She makes these insane bakery/food items that virtually no one is able to do at home and laughs over wine with her other rich friends.
Don't focus on the equipment. Any dslr, be it mirrorless, full frame, or traditional format, will be more than enough to get started and learn how photography works.
Force yourself to use manual mode and learn how fstops, shutter speed, iso and everything else tie together to make an image. I know you said no refurbished, but the used market is ideal for beginners. I went to school for photography (not my current career) but I still use a 20 year old nikon with the kit lens and a couple nice prime lenses I added along the way. The equipment rarely holds you back. With that said, once you have your feet wet, lenses are where you want to invest. An entry level camera with a nice lens will take better pics than a high end camera and shitty lens.
Xanax turns off a different portion of the brain. It feels more like "nothing can bother me". If I've taken Xanax for my panic attacks, the house could be on fire and I'd be the dog with the coffee cup.
Alcohol always tends to feel like a cover up for emotions rather than a clearing out effect, hence why some people get emotional while drinking. Similar, but different at the same time.
I'm prescribed Xanax, but the lowest dose. It's for my panic attacks, and it is an extremely fast acting, very effective drug that calms you down. I kind of just makes you not care about much and a little drowsy. I can imagine that in large doses, it would make one feel pretty damn good.
Gamepass is the one reason I can't switch. I'm with you on the crate software, pretty damn impressive.
