I always loved the behind the scenes for Eternal Sunshine. Kate was so excited about the production, she'd be like "I had to crawl through this hole into a different set and do a quick costume change so we could do it all in one take."

I've literally gotten spam emails that include a real password I've used in the past in the subject with some vaguely threatening message. Thanks to all these leaks, spammers are getting more targeted. Luckily I've been generating all my passwords for the last few years so I don't have to worry about specific passwords getting out as much anymore.

There's a link in their Read Me on GitHub under the title about launching with Docker. Are you familiar with Docker?

Unsolicited messages and scam texts are the lowest of the low. I wouldn't even put this in the same ballpark as advertising.

There isn't a bump where the lens would come in contact with the table while it's set down unless you have a case that makes it flush with the phone again.

Here's some pictures from a Google Pixel 1. There's a reason they never advertised low light handheld photos because you basically had to take 20 pictures of the same subject to get one that didn't exhibit some kind of motion blur. Optical stabilization reduced all this dramatically.

They had to have large amounts of post processing to make up for the small sensor and relied on AI to clean up your image. Personally I always prefer to have good source images and leave upscaling as a last resort.

Phone thickness is definitely up for debate but as someone who takes a lot of photos, the cameras of todays phones are vastly better than the early ones.

Here's some photos from my collection I found from that era.

I have a bunch of really good examples of pub nights but I don't want to post anything with people in them.

Unless you had perfect lighting conditions they looked like ass. In order to fix the problems you see in these photos you need a combination of larger sensors, larger lenses and optical stabilization. All of which we're bumping up against the limitations of physics.

Digital zoom is definitely not a replacement for optical zoom. Digital zoom is just cropping your photo on the fly, you might as well just do it yourself in post. Optical zoom retains the full sensor image. You can also modify focal length with optical zoom. I find myself lately standing further back and zooming in to get that background compression for more intimate shots that you get with a telephoto focal length.

Cameras on phones are getting good enough that I don't find myself reaching for my SLR much anymore.

I like how the Pixel 6 (my current phone) handled the bump, just one long bar across the back. It doesn't rock when you have it lying on a table and the bump actually slightly angles it towards your view. I wish there was more of that rather than the stove top bump on one side.

I know this is an odd take but I believe we just see the word ATM as a word instead of an acronym. We see ATM as an adjective now, like Sewing Machine or Answering Machine. That box in the wall is the machine that does the ATMing.

Something unsettling about seeing both L's in the Walmart font

Only 0090s kids remember

TLDR: you can get it from the url http://epic.download

Looks like it only has Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League on there for now

They used this article as a starting point and made up the news. The photo and date match the picture

I'm gonna say the news article is fake. It looks like they took this article as a starting point

Photo matches, even the article date is the same

Whole heartedly agree D4 last season was an absolute banger probably my favorite Diablo to date

I'll never buy Maxwell House and Folgers again! I mean I never bought them previously...

I just installed a few coma patients around the house. If there's privacy concerns should I uninstall them?

True as hell.

Small distances? Inches and feet.

Large distances? Kilometers.

Outdoor temperature? Celsius.

Oven temperature? Fahrenheit

I feel like liquid volume is the only one we've truly went all in in metric (oz and gallon aren't really used day to day)

I don't remember the exact location, we were on holiday in Rome. We were on our way to a restuarnt called "I Porchettoni" after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain. Looks like the restaurant is rebranded to Trattori Pigneto. It's not far from here but I can't seem to find the exact street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zaPqW2RCHkv8GYyE6
