    • Just wanted to say that I love what you're doing here, Andrew. The truth is powerful. The more you speak your mind, and encourage others to, the more you benefit the world. And, ultimately, your site traffic.  It just takes time. Keep being free!
    • Tim Cook has always been a mess, he's just been sufficiently hidden from public view; most of the time. Did you know that Steve Jobs hated Cook? Massive chunks of Steve Job's biography were censored by Walter Isaacson, after Job's death, to conceal this from the  public. There's an investigative piece on it, here: https://vo.lc/The-Execution-of-Steve.html  Cook is also a child-slaver. His is personally-evidenced knowingly using children to manufacture Apple products. Note that this is different from Apple's prior use of child slaves, because, until Tim Cook turned up, Apple had not been directly, knowingly, complicit. [Source: Business Insider] The real reason these Apple executives are jumping-ship, however, has nothing to do with technical problems at Apple. Instead, they are getting ahead of a much bigger scandal, which will likely sink the company.  Here I quote from an article by a Guardian award-winning writer who was a journalist for both The Times and The Telegraph newspapers; and worked at BBC radio. The journalist knew Steve Jobs personally, and worked with him. This is from the article: "Tim Cook abuses children. This is well-documented. The extent to which he abuses children is to be determined by a court, and the process by which he will be brought to trial for his repeated abuse of children depends on your capacity — as the message on Steve Jobs' desk, pictured at the top of this page, reads — to "THINK". Your inclination will be to turn away." "Tim Cook has, bizarrely, never had any identifiable partner of any sort. Readers will note that this was also the case for notorious pedophile, Jimmy Savile. This is not of course, to draw any comparison whatsoever between Tim Cook and the notorious pedophile Savile. Any attempt at such a direct comparison would (as it was with Savile) be met with such violent legal repercussions from the child-slave-traders at Apple that nobody would dare write such a thing. Perhaps we should not even think it." "Many reporters, after Jimmy Savile was exposed, congratulated themselves on having kept silent for years out of fear of being sued, and all the children who were raped in the interim were also delighted at the reporters' cowardice. Weren't they?" "The problem is that the entire, disgusting edifice of Silicon Valley relies on our fear. What happens if we're not scared? What happens if we stop treating the child-slave-trader Tim Cook as royalty?" Source: The Execution of Steve, By Chris Stevens / Phoenix Kaspian, 16th January, 2024. Note that the journalist's article has been up for almost two years, undefeated by Apple's legal team. Apple is the richest company in the world. You do the math. Apple is cooked.
    • One of them leaked the script of Witkoff's negotiations with the Russian guy. Another one, an admiral, questioned orders and forced to resign. The problem is there won't be enough of them, because unlike Hollywood scenarios, you need more than few heros to save the country from fascists, it needs uprising by millions of people (tho I don't believe these clowns are fascist. They're too dumb to stick with a particular ideology).
    • So it uses the dual gain HDR in mechanical shutter mode just like S1ii to achieve 15 stops. But noise reduction applied on all ISOs. Panasonic got the same DR but without NR, thanks to its lower resolution/bigger pixels maybe  We still see the Japanese stubbornness dealing with ISO. Even with extremely low read out noise at base ISO, they don't apply it as metadata-only settings to let the software increase the brightness digitally to save the highlights at higher ISO. The sensor is ultra clean yet you lose 3 stops of potential highlight recovery at ISO 1600. 
    • I've been thinking for a while that, internationally, Hollywood is going to get cooked by the 'new' USA. Think how many of the biggest movies over the years have been predicated on the notion that the USA are, once you get down to it, the good guys, the freedom guys, the justice guys - how does that notion survive in a world shown, daily, evidence of resurgent American fascism, cruelty and opression. Even in those movies where the US state is engaged in bad stuff, the day is saved by upright American patriots (with great teeth) - but IRL, where are those patriots? We're now aware that they're not to be relied upon to do that. So how does a global cultural hegemony based on an vision of the US as that shining city on the hill survive the revelation that the shine is an illusion (obviously many of us already knew that it was a tortured myth anyway, but the grotesquery is now so pronounced it's unignorable even to the millions of normies who make up the entire international audience for Hollywood's product)?
