I think that's distant enough, lots of photography answers in this thread. So you'd make the gear or use it?

I've been making videos about how to use different kinds of cameras and streaming gear. It's a nice break from the tech world even if there's still some tech aspect to it.

If you were just going to walk away from tech entirely what would you do instead?

Define tech? Cause I've been enjoying getting into the camera gear YouTube world lately which is completely different from software development tech

Totally—it’s a beautiful phone. I often carry a separate camera, and prefer small, cheap and simple.

‪Yeah I'm leaning that direction too. Even tho the iPhone camera is pretty good, a camera with a bigger sensor (RX100 or G7X) is still so much better. If I'm gonna post a picture I care about the quality, I'll use a real camera. The iPhone is good for random photos of my cat.‬

I’m still using an iPhone 7 for exactly that reason

I wasn't thrilled about FaceID when it launched, but the other features of the XS were worth it since I was upgrading from the 6S.

Apple has:

FCPX
Motion
Compressor
Logic Pro X

Why isn't there a pro photo app?

Aperture was one of my favorite apps. They should have kept it going.

I miss Aperture so much! It took me a while but I decided to go all in on Aperture. A few months later they dropped it. 😣

Took three hours to:
get my laptop to tell Home Assistant that I’m around via MQTT

reconfigure my lighting automation to take it into consideration

Bonus:
got some info on screen locking state and idle time to help adjusting lighting info

Thanks to Node-RED!
Yessss node red is great

I’m interested in improving the image quality for my video calls. Sadly, no one seems to make a truly high-end webcam. The alternative seems to be mirrorless cameras and HDMI capture devices. Am I missing something?

Seems like there might be suddenly a market for a USB camera with a nice lens.

There are however high end webcams that are used in offices, but they tend to be $2k or more which is not exactly a home user price point.

You might be surprised! Also check out this list which is about Webmentions in general rather than the specific service webmention.io https://indieweb.org/Webmention including lots of software that supports it! And if you've never heard of micro.blog, now's a good time, because everyone there is regularly sending and receiving webmentions too!

How many YouTubers can relate… I’m editing a video and keep yelling at the idiot on screen to get it together and stop flubbing his lines.

Naturally, that idiot is me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one

A friend of mine does that; it does seem to work. I declare email bankruptcy a lot. If it’s important they will email me again.

I feel like I am in a constant state of email bankruptcy

@aaronpk no, I am in Europe. I guess the issue is not the HDMI port, which it has, but that it does not have that software feature.

I'm not sure what you mean by "software feature". The HDMI port will output a feed of just the video signal which you can run into the ATEM Mini or any other device.

Yeah it turns out it was a new feature they were rolling out slowly and it wasn't available to me yet.

@aaronpk ah okay. Because I own a G70 and I thought about streaming, but the G70 does not have the feature to pass the video to another device... 😕

The G70 is the G7 in the US right? That should have an HDMI port on it!

I have to slow down @GeraldUndone if my tiny brain needs to keep up. But then he sounds like your drunk friend at the end of the night. 😀

Gerald Undone is the only youtuber I don't have to speed up to watch

Maybe I should give up on the idea that I'm productive today and do a bunch of meal prep to support me on future days this week where hopefully I *am* productive. My future self would thank me for not having to be distracted by cooking...

meal prep is so worth it!
