  • Thats what I thought, too. I've only seen that movie once on like 2003 and it still lives rent-free in my head.

    Instead of carrying multiple camera lenses, this one lets you swap optics
  • Amateur photographer here. For those wondering, this is aimed at a very strange segment. It's cheap so it seems to go for beginners who want to have different prime (non zooming) options but don't want the expense. It's also lighter.

    The problems:

    • more serious photographers will want better optics and I don't think this brand is it
    • Sharing optics adds complexity to gear in terms of dust/moisture ingress *Cheap prime lenses are not that expensive. This will cost more *You're better off with a higher quality zoom lens that covers the range of this system

    Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons?
  • It's a bit involved to host the server but easier than most self-hosting services, in my opinion. Then there's the audio setup which I think is super easy for digital audio folk but may be a challenge for folks who haven't had to mess with digital audio much. The biggest thing people had problems with was turning off wifi and connecting via network cable. Reduced latency by leaps and bounds

    Like I said, video was a separate device for my playing so it was kind of a non-issue. Mixing and production in OBS is way over my head.

  • I'm not sure if this solves your problem, but it's an opportunity to plug Jamulus . It's FOSS, and one of the best solutions if your target is uncompromising sound quality/latency. Unfortunately, it doesn't do video. I've jammed with a band on it and was very successful. Vide was on a phone or separate machine. When we performed, video was mixed by another user using OBS, and streamed on Zoom

  • The episode aired in 1996, so it's 28 ish year old. The meme format is Super Smash Bros Melee which came out in 2001, so that's 23ish years old. Conclusion: feel old af

    Tank in Bucharest during the Romanian Revolution, holding a sign that says "The dictatorship has fallen, the Ceausescu clan has fallen, and we are free.", 1989
  • A little over a decade of economic stagnation, a massive flow of money and power from "the state" (the oligarchs) to private citizens (oligarchs, sometimes new ones), and years of privatization, austerity, and general kleptocracy against public goods.....

    Then one of the fastest growing economies in Europe, with a good standard of living, and insane rates of home ownership and some of the best and cheapest Internet in the world.

    The dictatorship was overwhelmingly bad though it had some positive, socialist traits. What Romania is today is much better with some bad capitalist traits. People in the country sometimes look back to the communist days with nostalgia. Others got stuck in the post-communist bleakness and never saw that their country moved forward past them.

    Trump World ‘panicking’ as Project 2025 gets on the radar of voters
  • BS. This is exactly what Rump world wants. They love consolidation of power, Christian nationalism, and taking power away from non-white men. They are worried that centrist and moderate red voters will hear about it.

    Probably a cliche landscape for a photographer. Near Page, Arizona, it's a mighty view and a good opportunity to pull out the wide-angle. Just don't let the crowd push your camera off a cliff during the sunset chaos. I might go back one day and try a sunrise shot.
