Probably because upvoters know that iPhone actually can’t do long exposures (it fakes them by adding blur) and it’s time lapse photography is very limited (need a paid app for that, the default one limits the video to 40 seconds no matter how long you film), which in addition to being being unable to modify aperature settings directly (as you mention) is pretty much everything OP was asking for…

The hero we need, but not the one we deserve.

she crashed her car and drank excessively as a teen, she says.

She gave both her children smartphones when they turned 11 and let her daughter start using Snapchat at the same age.

Yeah… that tracks.

All you said was “citation for that timeline”, like I’m on trial or something.

I responded with the best source I could find and a summary of the timeline as the three news reports I’d read stated it with a quick search.

You respond back that I’m “avoiding answering your questions” which I am surely not, while demonstrating that you already had timeline source info from the get-go. I’m fine with being corrected, but you’re just arguing in bad faith.

Fwiw, there are still multiple major news outlets reporting that she left after his heart attack, whom have not issued corrections… So fuck me for not being more informed than USA Today’s newsroom I guess?

Mitch has a heart attack requiring CPR and a hospital trip on the 14th, time of hospitalization not publicized, and as made clear by many news organisations - his team ignored almost all requests for comment and detail by news orgs.

His wife is photographed in China sitting with the vice-president of China 3 days later on the 17th.

Her team have ignored all requests for more detail by news orgs (at least, I couldn’t find any that got a response).

That and black market human organs. Pure speculation, but it would explain why his wife flew to China just hours after his entry to hospital.

Google has simply officially said they won’t block ADB sideloading as part of the change, so it’s the same old ADB install method for unsigned APKs that devs use.

Shizuku uses ADB commands to install apps so it’s much of a muchness there - same thing. Though I speculate Google will start to block Shizuku installs (of the main Shizuku app) from the Gplay store in soonI’m sure due to ‘breech of T&Cs’ of some kind, but really to add more side-loading hurdles.

You can definitely remove the APK, but it’ll just reinstall itself next time Play Store services do their thing. In addition, Google Play won’t allow installation of new apps without approval from the service, so removing it will block install via official GPlay.

The main ways to avoid it to my knowledge are to either go through the official ADB method (if you have official Google Play) or use a de-Googled phone and install via alternative stores eg Aurora / F-Droid.

Haha… OK pal. Have a great one.

I read your questions three times but I still can’t tell what you’re asking.

Re-reading my comment it was way more aggressive than it meant to be. I think I laid on the sarcasm too thick after reading the latest Trump bullshitery. Anyway, appreciate your comment.

We culturally usually bring our glasses to parties if we are drinking something that needs a glass (eg Guiness, Kilkenny) if the gathering is over a dozen people. Keg parties require hiring the keg - and glassware (or washable plastic schooners) are included in the hire price. Kegs aren’t any cheaper than buying by carton/case here unless you’re doing bulk kegs for a wedding or something (Australia - we have a significant alcohol tax).

Yes of course, my hundreds of personal parties attended are invalid evidence compares to your personal experience of several commercial venues (which is not even what was being discussed).

I don’t care about downvotes. Parties full of red plastic cups is a very American phenomenon - and also in countries that have low environmental concerns and use a lot of single-use plastics. All through Europe, Australia, NZ, Japan, its far more common to use glassware or bring your own cups. I’ve only been to a few keg parties because it’s no cheaper than buying cans/bottles unless you’re running a really big event like a wedding - and even then, proper glassware or washable plastic schooners are included in the hire contract (kegs are hired and must be returned).

Yeah generally. Or everyone is drinking from cans / beer bottles. Keg parties are not a common thing for your average BBQ or your average student party.

Tenor was always slow for me and had shit search.

I didn’t know it was owned by Google, but now that I do it makes complete sense.

Yes. The rest of the world uses glasses because we’re adults and we don’t hide the glassware from our friends.

The only time I ever see disposable cups used is at kids parties, or to play beer pong.

Lee said. “Semiconductors, physical AI, and AI data centres are the triple axis for a great leap forward.”

Hmmmmm. I’d encourage a better choice of words for this massive government undertaking targeted at rural communities…

I wonder who will be the first CEO to start applying the “too big to fail” statement openly to their business.

I’m betting on OpenAI as they’re the ones with the most to lose. They have already been courting govt in investment heavily, including asking them to back loans up to nearly a trillion earlier this month, and an equity stake.

Literally the “most valuable companies in the world” asking for daddy taxpayer to lend then their credit card.

Yeah guys, this is true for sure and we should all panic buy now. Because prices for computer hardware never come down over time.

Did i say they needed it?

This may surprise you, but to your average person (or even your technical person who is time-poor for whatever reason), moving to a new OS is a frustrating or time consuming process, so they delay the move until they get (or build) a new PC.

Your average person stays on the same OS for the lifetime of the computer.

That’s great to hear. I’ve had mixed results with migrating Windows editions in the past, and I believe it’s still an officially unrecommended process due to hiccups that can occur during, and difficulties in diagnosing issues afterwards (can be a bit of a frankenstein as far as libraries WinSXS content, system logs, etc).
