    For me its 250-350. I can usually get a 1 or 2 generation older flagship device at that price, refurbished.

    Try to find a job. Like any job. I'll clean or do manual labor, no shame in that. I'd also try and look for government programs for re-education so I can learn whatever skills are in demand and the moment.

    I don't really get why this matters that much? If they want to charge ridiculous amounts for stupid cosmetic shit, users don't have to buy it. I've put a couple hundred hours into Apex and Fortnite and have literally spent $0. Best investment I've ever made.

    Makes sense, I was joking anyways. Running your xbox into a HDMI capture card just to play games on your desktop is kind of silly. You might as well just plug the xbox into your monitor directly.

    My guess is people weren't buying large phones anymore. Those that want them are getting foldables. That being said you could get the Galaxy Tab A7, I think there is a version with a 4g modem. Also there are iPad mini models with 5g iirc.

    YouTube is super weird. I had uploaded some audio cassette tapes that I had found at my grandma's. She lived near a nuclear power plant and when the facility was built in the 80s they had handed out audio casettes to people in the area with information about what to do in emergencies, who to call for information, etc. I digitized the cassettes and put them on YouTube and they were taken down within a day. No idea why, never given a reason. It's public information as it was handed out by power plant and city government.

    The trailer looks pretty but what is the gameplay going to be like? Just running away from dinosaurs the whole time with nostalgia grab scenes? It's funny to me that 30 years and many franchise films later, they still use only the first movie for nostalgia grabs. Shows how the other films really don't hold a candle to the original

    Interested here as well, especially because the movie doesn't cover the Japanese perspective at all. Like 0 percent.

    i know a few people who have moved abroad. The folks that went to Thailand seem super happy, enough so that my partner and I are considering it. We just did a scoping trip for a couple months and the city of Chiang Mai is super nice. As someone who lives in a bigger US city I found things in general were more relaxed and peaceful in Chiang Mai. Convenience stores look well taken care of, people don't seem angry everywhere you go, the food was amazing... honestly it seemed like a better life in general. Though admittedly i was only there for a short time.

    Sounds great but also sounds like one of those technologies that works in a lab but may not scale up to mass production. Let us know if it can be made cheaply on a large scale

    The purpose is they don't want users to leave the mouse permanently plugged in. That would leave an ugly wire to their beautiful wireless product. in my opinion the only pointing device apple ever got right was the trackpad. Their mice have been absolute crap since the iMac g3 hockey puck mouse days. During the G4 era they had that transparent pill looking mouse, then the pill with the ball scroller that would collect hair. Then magic mouse and now this. Consistently bad since the early 2000s is actually quite impressive.

    It's actually 23.976 and yes it's because of NTSC frame rates. But increasingly things are shot now at a flat 24p since we're not as tied down to the NTSC framerate these days.

    DSLRs just don't have the types of lenses and a ton of electronics and features that are in broadcast cameras. Broadcast cameras have things like 3-CCD sensors, built-in variable ND filters, reference/sync inputs, multiple video outputs (clean, pix) over SDI or SMPTE 2110 or connectivity to a CCU (camera control unit). They'll often support intercoms and return video for the camera operator or for teleprompting. Source: am broadcast engineer.

    need advice for a self-hosted or cloud hosted server for file transfers from remote locations

    Hey self-hosted community! I thought I'd pose this question to you all as you seem to have a lot of experience with hosting things on limited budgets with usually a single person administering! I am volunteering with a small rural news organization that operates in my home country. They do rural news for people living in villages and they give people (particularly women) in these villages the opportunity to be reporters. It is a really cool organization that empowers people in these villages through journalism. When they hire a reporter they give them an android-based smartphone and a handheld microphone. The reporters will shoot selfie-style reports, interviews and b-roll in the field and then file the video back to the main office where the videos can be edited. Currently they use whatsapp and signal which has worked decently well but both platforms compress the video a lot so the quality is degraded by the time it is received. What they need is an easy way to transfer the original video files (usually mp4 h264) over spotty rural cellular networks. Do you all have any recommendations for protocols or platforms to use? This is an organization with a very limited budget. I was thinking some kind of SFTP server that I could maintain remotely but I do not know if the clients are very robust against network dropouts and also are they easy enough for someone who has grown up in a rural village to learn. I have some IT skills but never tried anything like this. A secondary issue they have brought up is when the field reporters do file their video in, it is increasingly difficult over time to keep everything organized. The filenames will be something like YYYYMMDD\_XXXX.mp4 and the editor has to do a lot of work to organize and rename the files. I know there are MAM (Media asset management) softwares out there but from cursory googling it seems like a lot of the solutions out there are really built for large organizations that can pay a lot of money for the hardware/software. Is there any software that could automatically file away these videos possibly based on who is sending them or maybe the if the metadata has location data in it? Any advice would be welcome!
