I got a Nikon z30 last week used on marketplace, it came with 2 Nikon F lenses, the kit z lens and the FTZ ii (F To Z) adapter and our previous Nikon F lens still work (exif data is present and correct and AF works for some of the F lenses, but not all of them though). The FTZ I think is quite large, it will make your lens stick out an extra 3-4cm.
I think comments are good in a first resort, along with the other points you mentioned. To me reading a single line summary and or explainer will always be faster than reading 15 lines of code even if it’s very well made and self documenting
Am I the only one who likes to write comments when I find code that took me a while to understand even when I didn’t write the code? It helps me when I go back to that place and it helps other devs that have to do the same figuring things out as me. Idk if I’m just weird but I really like writing documentations and commenting my code
I’ve seen a newer BMW sedan that was diesel recently, but the reason I remember it is because it’s a rarity
Been working fine for me on 130 beta
These 1.9 TDI VW’s are so hard to find in either good condition (by that I mean not almost totalled) OR one that doesn’t have 350 000km
From experience, Toyota hybrids basically only use the electric motor at low speeds (under 30 or 40kmh) and are balls slow with the CVT transmission. I don’t think they actually use the batteries for more performance like some sportier cars. Anyways you should try both, but the corolla hybrid I tested last year was extremely slow and just basic to drive. I drove it in a mountainous area, and the poor engine was STRUGGLING
Also, smaller 4 cyl engines are very fun because they scream under high load and it feels like you are going 180 when in reality you are catching with traffic. Kia Rios are fun for that
Yes there m illegal things on social media, but they are not public group chats with hundreds of people in them sharing info on how to do x crime better. What you will mostly see on Instagram etc when it’s about illegal stuff are links to those telegram channels. And yes meta/everyone else should definitely do better at moderatibg their platforms.
Telegram isn’t in trouble because they are a ““private”” messenger because 1) they aren’t and 2) they basically asked for it. They are hosting pirates, drug dealers and scammers and they refuse government requests for the data they have about the user. That is the issue: not complying with data requests. For example, signal, a truly secure messenger, will comply with data requests and will send the authorities everything they have about a user, which is really not that much to begin with. This whole Telegram story is absolutely unrelated to chat control
All of the illegal stuff like that that I’ve seen around on social media always linked to telegram channels. Most of the time what you see on regular social media are bots advertising the telegram channels, where the real people are at
I simply think that until now (maybe they will start tomorrow), the PR and lawsuit risk of listening to people is too high, for the benefit they would get out of it. Much simpler metrics are enough for them to get a very good profile of the user. Voice data isn’t like in the test scenarios where the person will repeat 45x the word cat food, people talk about the weather and about gas prices which is pretty useless for creating an ad profile if you ask me. But the scary part is now with AI models and on device AI everything, local processing of the mic data into topics that then get sent to their servers is more concerning is not much more feasible.
And for the lawsuits I am not sure they could write it off as a bug everywhere other than the us and Canada because there are actually normal laws in most other countries
They are certainly very creepy but I doubt companies like Google or Meta even need this kind of data from a third party. If they truly wanted to have mic access, they could for a long time, and it would have been known. The reality is it is too expensive and risky to run this kind of spying, and I don’t think the benefit is worth the risk to them. To me this screams “SCAMMERS”.
From experience, most apps/packages that are compiled for Linux are compiled for both x86 and arm. I’ve had no real issues getting software on my OnePlus 6 running on postmarket os (full Linux os on a phone basically). This is very likely because ARM is a thing in the server space, so most packages in your distros repositories will be compiled for all architectures (and that’s if it’s not required by the distro’s repos to have the two supported).
Other software ftom outside the repos where linux was already a second class citizen like discord or Spotify may be troublesome though
Hijack the power cable and solder it to a battery while you move it
For a team of 20 people matrix is way overkill imo
Good question, I will check after work if steam starts in the background or something, I’ve had some issues with steam in the past so what you’re saying could make sense…
We might pay some of the most expensive internet in the world in Canada but at least we can’t fault them for providing an unstable or unperformqnt service. Download llama models is where 1gbps really shines, you see a 7GB model? It’s done before you are even back from the toilet. Crazy times.
I had this theory since I got some new usb periphs relatuvelu recently, but that was not the issue
Especially when your password gets reset after 3 fails like at my job, I DON’T want to deal with IT
