@aaronpk I’ll have to give them a look!

I'm such a huge fan of the eSIM thing! It's so nice landing from an international flight and already having data service. I used to race to find the nearest SIM store and buy data as soon as I got thru immigration.

If you have a new enough phone (e.g. iPhone X+) to enjoy eSIM, I really recommend Truphone. It’s great to have the freedom to easily purchase data plans abroad, but also in the US when you’re getting close to your limit but want to get a cheaper boost.

I haven't even heard of that one, I've been using GigSky. It's so nice while I'm traveling!

and how this is possible??????

Good question! It does work if you change it to https. Also I think their checkout process forces you to https.

Is there any recorded material of today's session?

You should be able to view the recording with the same link as from today. But if not, I'll be posting a video of it in the next couple days too!

@garbados I've been contacted by 2 reporters today for my opinion, and this is a screenshot of an email I wrote to one of them. My ultra cynical inside baseball take as an ex Big Tech Worker.

oof that is brutal. That's what I've wanted to send the press who have contacted me about it but I am too chicken to say this out loud.

Baby steps, I'd like to add more and eventually have 3 angles, but baby steps getting back into it.

We streamed for almost 2 years straight but have been on an almost year long hiatus 😅

Being good on a live stream is such a particular skill! I wish I could do it, but it takes me like 3 tries to get a sentence out the way I want in the edited videos I do.

Or I might go non-linear and buy a @LumixUSA S1 as a new main camera and use my current GH5 as the livestreaming camera.

So many good options

the real question is why are you limiting yourself to a single livestreaming camera 😅

Why, when you unsub from some mailing lists (usually ones you never signed up for) do they feed you this BS line about “may take ten days to unsubscribe you”. Really? So my unsub request went to a really busy guy who will have to locate my email address manually and erase it? 🤯

omg I just saw an excellent twitter thread about this the other day https://twitter.com/joe8bit/status/1156312965265707013

Another Canon related question for the twitter verse today.

If you plug two condenser microphones into the c100/c200 xlr inputs can you get them both on mono recording?

I’d want to use this as a streaming camera and not buy an additional mixer.

Merge the audio in the video switcher! The ATEM Mini can do it! My video next week shows a demo!

I’ve tried it and it’s kinda bad (for how I listen to music).

aw sad. I'm all in on Spotify right now but I kind of miss when I was more actively curating a music collection.

I’m so ready to move all my music to Plex. iTunes in Catalina is a mess.

It’s probably a bad idea to start a new project building a Plex client music player, right?

That's a fun idea. I haven't looked into this space at all in ages. Looks like Plex Labs has a thing maybe? https://medium.com/plexlabs/introducing-plexamp-9493a658847a

Happy WebAuthn for Safari on iOS day! iOS 13.3 is out! From the release notes (which you should quote instead of quoting me):
- Adds support for NFC, USB, and Lightning FIDO2-compliant security keys in Safari

Oh this is very exciting! Can't wait to try it out!

Y’all should look into git aliases. You write them in your home directory in a file named .gitconfig

That would require learning more git than I care to know 😄

But for real, that is cool though, probably a better long term solution.

Fun Fact: it's been almost six years since I started working on the Web and I still suck at git. I get by, but deep down I am secretly hiding the feelings of incompetence and terror I have whenever I use it. 😅

And I "secretly" hope I'm not alone! 😂

Same!

I made a bash alias to revert the last git commit because I can never remember that convoluted series of characters and I got tired of googling "git revert last commit".

Now I can type `git oops`

I CAN LIVE STREAM AGAIN!!! It’s been 90 days and I’m allowed back in the play room. Look for a scheduled stream this Friday! (I’m on the road now, so will wait until I’m back). WOW…

I forgot this was why there have been no livestreams lately! Welcome back, we've missed you!
