@AmpBenzScientist the choice is really just between what physical connector you want. v5 are pretty much all the same its just do you want usb a, c, thunderbolt or nfc

Rapes and murders are at historic highs, sure. But they’re losing their burgers! This is getting serious!

@freemo @mcnado The Death Data was falsified by some facilities due to the financial assistance offered to assist with the additional money spent on combating covid. It was fraud and elderly care facilities were able to get away with it. A family friend died from Alzheimer's and he was reported as having died from COVID around 2 months later. He was cremated. My family reported it but it fell on deaf ears.

About the data for Medicine, I've made Mathematical models for outbreaks. I'm not an expert at it but we would have to limit variables and environmental factors. Even then it would take about as many revisions as a TeX document to get some level of accuracy. Then again with so many limits on data, I couldn't consider it accurate.

With actual data it could prove useful. The long term effects of COVID are not known, the long term effects of the jabs are unknown and the combined effects of both are certainly unknown. Is it actually important? Nope. The data will be collected and processed anyway thanks to our benevolent government.

@AmpBenzScientist Depends what algo you want to use and what key size... any v5 is your best bet though.

@mcnado @freemo It did spread for a few years and took out the most susceptible.

Long term data would be nice even if it's blatantly falsified like the death data.

We can't have a control group because nearly everyone was exposed. We don't have a healthy non jabbed group because the government and the public persecuted these people.

Being in the latter group, it's difficult to show empathy as anything other than mockery. Problems quoting inaccurate data? Corruption dragged its fat sack of influence and manipulation over your profession. Medicine will have to regroup and reform to get back to some level of integrity. That's going to be a long fight.

I am watching the new movie The little mermaid. I am really enjoying how they used factually accurate (And in some cases not very well known) sea creatures. They also put a lot of attention into making their movements more or less accurate as well.

I was particularly excited to see the feather stars.

That said they arent region appropriate, I dont think I recall ever seeing a feather star in the Caribbean. I can let it slide :)

@AmpBenzScientist Yeah, I also remembered the fake moon. That level of modification would cause problems if you try to take a picture to proof something in legal related events.

For casual use, I'd say it's fine to use the default camera app. But taking picture of a bird or something I want no additional processing, hopefully the pro settings will disable the post-processing.

@skyblond It should have it. It would need to be processed to be visible but there should be a setting to take a jpeg of the same picture at the same time.

RAW isn't a better camera but so much can be done in processing that the quality is night and day. The raw image format is essentially a data dump from the sensor so it includes everything. The Camera2 API makes this functionality available if it's not in the default photo app.

@skyblond I started using the Camera2 API in Android to take raw images years ago. I got an OP Nord and the pictures were the most disturbingly melancholic images I've ever seen. I just use Open Camera from F-Droid to avoid that or I try to find the Pro settings on a Samsung to get RAW images.

The S23 was impressive. I remember trying the burst mode at max speed. It was under an LED light and I could see the fluctuation of 60Hz in action. I did the math and found that a 45acp fired 10m away from me would lead to several photos of the bullet in flight before exiting my FOV.

I also remember the fake Moon. Never forget the fake Moon.

@AmpBenzScientist

Well, if it's a trend, you can't really resist it.

Somehow those manufacturers thought their customers would be happy with the new AI things. Samsung's S24 series is a bit retreat on hardware, but a lot of new things happened on software, but not necessary.

For people I know, most of them are not happy with the s24 series. For example the camera. S23Utlra has an optical 10x zoom lens, but on S24Ultra it changed to 5x zoom, and now you're relying on AI post-processing to get hopefully the same result from optical 10x lens. But if I had 10x zoom lens in the first place, why do I have to fake my picture? (Yeah, I think AI post-processing produces a fake photo.)

When they bundled features together, you have to give up a set of features to avoid one thing.

@freemo That's a good choice, I rather enjoyed GNU Guix. It sounds like a good foundation for serious work. With Enterprise Class Laptops I've never encountered performance issues.

@AmpBenzScientist

linux will be managed for you, it will be nixos but with all the bells and whistles.

Thanks, samsung.

I literally don't need any of those AI nonsense on my s23+. And my next upgrade will be s23ultra.

And a fun fact: those AI features are free from google, but since China baned google, the AI features are handled by local companies. You need to pay another monthly subscription to use those built-in AI features which should be free outside China.

@skyblond One Plus still supports unlocking. You can do away with the AI (which should have been able to be handled on the device thanks to Hexagon).

@AmpBenzScientist Crime? I think you accidentally commented on the wrong post. This post is about a hero saving their cat.
