Or “How Signal is closer in functionality to WhatsApp by the day, because it turns out people like the functionality of WhatsApp.”

The photography world has changed quite a lot since the Minolta days.

To answer your question directly, I’d recommend getting a used Sony a7 of whichever generation you like the price of.

That being said, if we dig a bit deeper, kids are some of the most challenging subjects, and family gathering some of the most challenging events: fast movement requiring fast focusing, low light requiring wide apertures, high ISO or flash.

I’d consider switching entirely to a modern system that can get you those features.

I was thinking about how this would happen and I remembered when signing up for services using Google login, I’d always get a list of information the website would have access to, including the name listed under the Google account. When I didn’t consent to that, I went back.

Now, is there a line somewhere between strictly getting a user’s consent and the user having an expectation of privacy? Yes, and they may have landed on the wrong side of it.

Suffice it to say, this is one of the reasons I prefer to sign up with an email address.

Risks that are already described.

The headline does it’s job getting clicks by making it sound like reviewers names may already be public.

I’m looking at it from a perspective of intentionality. Careless? Definitely. A risk ? For sure. But the situation is still not as the title implies.

If I’m reading this correctly, they’re adding your name to your site profile, but that’s not visible and is not linked to your reviews.

That specificity makes the situation much less terrifying than the title alone would imply.

Hey, you can cross-post this to rblind.com!

You were absolutely right! It’s been a while, huh? WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are gatekeepers and WhatsApp is supposed to open up based on the Signal Protocol. I guess we’re settling on that.

Some other Central and Eastern European ones are weird as well.

How are you liking the Brexit expansion? I felt like was overhyped and overrated.

Presumably you’re a UK citizen using .uk in accordance with the controlling entity’s terms and conditions. These folks weren’t in the same boat.

With this headset’s personalized design, it would probably be uncomfortable for a lot of people to wear one that wasn’t made for them. I’m sure Apple never considered what a shame it would be for each person to have to buy their own…

Either way, other headsets would likely be better for these retail style use cases.

A recall is the legally defined process to address a safety issue. From NTSHA’s documentation.

Manufacturers voluntarily initiate many of these recalls, while others are either influenced by NHTSA investigations or ordered by NHTSA via the courts. If a safety defect is discovered, the manufacturer must notify NHTSA, as well as vehicle or equipment owners, dealers, and distributors. The manufacturer is then required to remedy the problem at no charge to the owner. NHTSA is responsible for monitoring the manufacturer’s corrective action to ensure successful completion of the recall campaign.

There was a safety issue and it was addressed by the manufacturer: huzzah!

Even physical mechanical changes don’t usually require the car to go back to the factory, they’re often addressed as part of routine maintenance.

The term may feel misleading, but it exists and is used in a specific context.

No doubt, but MagSafe turning into the Qi 2 standard is… interesting. It may or may not be part of a broader shift.

Something something monopoly, something something gatekeepers. They don’t need a war chest big enough to sue Apple, they just need to convince the EU to do it. I’m sure they saw this coming from the start.

I have. I’ve accidentally initiated NameDrop between my personal and work phones, just by having them in the same pocket. Both set to Contacts Only.

Imagine a scenario where kids put all their phones in a bad before class or something.

Yup, I’m paying for Nebula which is creator-owned. It doesn’t do everything YouTube does, but it’s a cool direction for the medium to go into - at least to try.

A “technical limitation” is just a feature with a poor ROI on engineering hours on a spreadsheet. I mean, on Microsoft 365 Excel.

The boxes of papers on an airplane seat in The Post come to mind. I’ve also seen encrypted hard drives being mailed to contractors with keys sent out-of-band afterwards.

There are a lot of good reasons to carry data around.

I don’t think they’d let me use a tripod, but tracking is a good idea… It certainly works for race cars. I’d probably be able to stop down too and rely less on perfect focus.
