I'm pointing out that alternatives exist, and they are decent alternatives.
And I'm pointing out that those alternatives in practicality are not even close. Suggesting a hobby project out of the blue when OP is not even asking for it (and even claiming that they are comparable) is just dumb.
Capturing a photo of a bullet that's been slowing down for 300 meters is not a great technical feat.
You just missed my point about the 1.6MP elephant in the room. And that's just ignoring every other camera feature used to take the shot, which you would have to manually dial in with your rpi camera. You are simply not going to do that in the chaos.
I've only used Raspberry Pi based systems with manual focus.
Well that's certainly a problem, isn't it? You don't know what OP does with their camera, if it's a hobby or for a living. Go try suggesting building a RPi camera kit to sports photographers, see if they give a fuck about it.
Depth of field is a property of the lens, not the sensor.
DoF has everything to do with sensor SIZE. You are simply never going to get the level of shallow depth of field with tiny sensors compared to even M43 or bigger sensors. You are simply never going to get the ISO performances or dynamic range of a bigger sensor because the photosites are just physically huge compared to those in phone camera sensors. Even a cheap old 12MP DSLR is going to destroy the images quality coming out of the best 64MP rpi camera kit, not even a question. And not to mention all the other functions a modern camera has, like weather sealing, subject detect autofocus, auto white balance, color science, image stabilization, etc.
Sensors: if you want to take pictures in starlight, you can get IMX585 (hard due to market problems). If you want lots of pixels, 64 M is not a problem. If you want to photograph a bullet, you can get the low-pixel global shutter sensor, there is code around to take video at 500 fps (disclaimer: tiny video, extreme light level required).
I count 3 different sensors for each scenario now, and you even know their downsides. What makes you think OP is willing to deal with these? The global shutter sensor is a 1.6MP sensor. Yeah, that absolutely can replace the gear that captured the photo of the bullet whizzing by Trump and won the Pulitzer prize.
Yes, the depth of field and image quality the camera kit sensors and lenses produce sure can match those produced by full frame sensors and lenses. And fuck Canon's industry leading autofocus, OP can write their own autofocus algorithm too!
I've been following this on an ABC news podcast called Bad Rap. Their previous podcast on the Theranos case called The Dropout was excellent, and I highly recommend giving both of these a listen.
Well TBF, it was a loophole. Not surprised they patched it out.
Previously, a Switch designated as a primary console could load up a digital game and play online alongside the owner of that game logged in via a second Switch.
I'm under the impression that the old method is still available, so you could still use this "trick" to play the same copy on two devices.
There's a NintendoLife article detailing how to perform the loophole
However, there is a loophole that will let you play the same game on two Switches. To do so, head into the 'User' section of the System Settings and select your profile. Then, head down to Online License Settings and turn it on.
This allows you to play digital games whilst connected to the internet, even if the relevant Virtual Game Card is loaded onto another system.
I thought this was not as good as the first movie. In the first movie, Wolff at least had the screen time to show off his uniqueness. Here, not much. He's just a glorified mercenary with autism. Also, the plot felt too... convenient? And it introduced a few story lines that didn't lead to anywhere or had unsatisfying ends, like Wolff finding a partner, or Medina somehow ended up satisfied about being helped by the gang? Girl, you didn't want their help and wanted autonomy in the first place. What's with the smile in your new chair after all that nothing you did? The only guy who got a satisfying end is Brax I guess. He got to spend quality time with his brother, and he got a cat.
Still, it was a fun movie. Fights were satisfying enough. Plotline was just weak.
Sinners for a third time, and successfully convinced multiple friends to join me. They loved it!
Other than that, Thunderbolts*, which was underwhelming for me, though was apparently pretty well received? I dunno, I've not been following the MCU movies and TV shows much after Endgame aside from Loki (which was amazing!), so I don't even know half the cast. Apart from that, the plot/pacing just felt meh, and when the credits rolled I literally said to myself "that's it?".
spoiler
IMO, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 did a better job exploring the idea of facing your past trauma better than this movie. Also helps that I know the team better I guess.
Post-credits was a surprise though, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about the next one.
Sinners. Twice. Phenomenal movie.
I've been using the 6a since the start of this year, and alongside it Accubattery to remind me to unplug my phone whenever it reaches 85% charge.
I know Accubattery stats are just an approximation, and I've only been using this phone for half a year, but still quite amusing to see the battery health go up instead of dropping.

[Bug] When you set profile default sort to TopDay and switch accounts and back, this happens
(sh.itjust.works)
I was so confused when I was seeing posts 4 years old. "Old" isn't even supposed to be an option lol.
Tested with other options, seems like TopWeek becomes TopDay, TopMonth becomes TopWeek, TopYear becomes TopMonth, and TopAllTime becomes TopYear.
So for now, you can enjoy seeing the creation of the Fediverse and read posts in reverse with this hidden option.
