Now it's truly the end of an era. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46707699 https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/sjtjgbabzx

I still wish them the best with their Eterna sales to anybody other than a few rental houses. Other than 4:3 recording and more professional I/O, the much less expensive GFX 100 II has the same output. Also, the autofocus in video is a bit ass on it and unlikely to be much better on Eterna. 😅 But you know, if you have some 1.8x anamorphics that cover a 44mm wide sensor that you've been champing at the bit to use or if you really wanna go overkill on your social media presence, that 4:3 mode is probably killer. 🤣

... and the Ursa Cine 12K LF. This would be huge for me.

As Doctorow said, Europe could also finally remove anti-circumvention laws since one of the only reasons to implement them in the first place was to avoid tariffs from the US.

Yes, and then I made a Zoolander reference.

Looks like we'll also be seeing a bunch of BYD in Canada soon. This is why you generally don't want to piss off your closest trading partners... https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/16/chinese-evs-inch-closer-to-the-us-as-canada-slashes-tariffs/

What is this? A LAPTOP FOR ANTS?

Tesla's sales numbers in much of Europe would lead me to believe that their increase in most countries has nearly completely stalled. Aside from BYD and Xioami being cheaper, their CEO's aren't making white power salutes on stage and/or collaborating with a president who has begun to threaten military action against Denmark (and as of today, Iceland???).

It's not a guess. Trump's kid is a major investor in a US-based drone manufacturer. If they actually cared about security, they would have performed the audit that the law required (and that DJI was demanding that they do) instead of refusing to perform it.

i'm not sure what the government could do to shut them down, but DJI's app uses/needs GPS and I could see them threatening to fine/sanction DJI if they don't geofence out non-approved drones. But at this point, I don't think there are any existing DJI products that aren't approved.

Then you'd probably like DSMC3. Standard batteries, standard CF Express cards, etc. If the CFE card isn't on the compatibility list, you'll get a warning, but then the camera will let you try to record whatever quality you want.

Probably. I just found it really overbearing. I personally don't bother with diffusion filters at all. The short, lacking detail reason is that I'll just use a vintage lens if I want a vintage look. And yes, your observations align with mine about using diffusion filters. On low-budget sets, they also add headaches on controlled shots as the DP is now complaining that the lights are interacting with their diffusion filter in a bad way, causing time loss due to coddling the darn thing.

I think you're assigning more capability for logic to my government than they deserve.

This is incorrect. They were added to the FCC's "covered" list which means that they won't be able to get certification on any new devices that have wireless transmission moving forward. It's not just future drones. And while it's true that DJI can still legally sell existing devices that already have FCC approval, if you try to buy something, you will quickly find that DJI are barely trickling stock of any of it into the US now (apparently customs also scrutinize/delay their stuff a lot more). In some of the Ronin 4D groups, people are practically begging for parts. Just the other day, I saw somebody offering to pay full MSRP for used ProSSD's since they couldn't find stock anywhere.

At least judging by the trailer, I agree. The only thing that bugged me, really, was the glow/halation effect - were they actual diffusion filters or did they just smear the lens with vaseline? Other than finding the diffusion distracting, though, I thought the look was absolutely well-suited to the story being told. The choice of a phone felt intimate and immersive.
