Idunno if technically correct is the best route to go here. But sure, if you wanna defend more bs marketting from a huge ass company, you go.

Lemme explainw hy the rest of us find this a little dumb to see. Iphone is famous for being the best phone in the world at recording video, which is not nearly as small, especially at high resolutions.

For context, a 4k60fps video is 400MB per minute, which would fill up the phone in less than 5 and a half hours. You can record less than four of your kids soccer games with that. If you go with 4k24fps (135MBpm), you can get 948 minutes of video which is 11 soccer games. You'll probably get most of your kids soccer games, but you'll have to dump the video if they get to the playoffs.

If you got noticably shitty quality at 720p30fps, (why would you do that on the phone camera with the arguable best video recordings in the world?!) you get 53 hours of video recording time.

Look, its a lot compared to vhs, which could do up to 240 minutes, or vhs-c, (the mobile vhs) which could do up to 60 minutes of video.

It's a lot compared to phones from ten years ago, even. But it sure as fuck is not a lot when you compare it to literally any other phone from the same price bracket and age range. Thats the point. The storage is fucking average compared to competitors. If you use the phrase 'a lot of storage' you damn well better be doing at least twice what your competition is doing for me to agree with you.

Nobody contests it's top three, and a large chunk of people say it's best in class for video.

First google result; https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/buying-guides/best-phone-for-video-recording

  • iphone

Second google result; https://amateurphotographer.com/buying-advice/best-smartphones-for-video/

  • pixel, then iphone

Third google result; https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/best-phones-for-video-recording/

  • first result is the xperia i, second is xperia pro(sensing a trend?) and then the iphone.

Who in God's name sits down to watch a replay of their kid's soccer game that they already saw live

lmao, soccer moms showing it off to their grandparents or adding one or two cuts into a graduation video, etc. Basic family shit. If I buy a phone with the best video camera possible, I want to be able to record jimmy's birthday parties, jane's soccer games, and whatever else theyre doing without having to stress about which kid is more important to show to grandma at the end of the month because i'm low on space.

You've missed the point though. The specific example is generic and not meant to be taken literally.

128gb is average. That's my point. iphone ads are getting shit on because they called 128gb 'lots of storage'. It's not 'lots'. It's average.

well, that, and it's apple, and everyone loves to hate those guys.

Not if youre a normal person who doesnt have a hobby of doing video stuff. Yeah, its got ups and downs, but the iphone really is the best, or near to it, for anybody who wants to record someyhing without knowing what iso or exposure is.

New old mascot that Rentlar inked below is 'reinforcing' the 'war' between the penguin/linux logos and the other.

It's not really a joke, more a statement about the fox ebeing a thing now.

Well duh. All modern cars look the same because that's what gets the best aerodynamics. No car that looks different is going to be as good at moving through the wind as a modern car. That's the tradeoff you make when you have a car that looks different.

I dug around. This isn't a real pull request. There is at least one parody account that saw this and started doing it for real, but the account shown in the image was created in 2018, after this image was doctored.

I have really enjoyed my vero 4k. they came out with a new version (vero v), which I haven't used, but now has av1 support. my older model, the 4k+ version, has done everything great, with the exception of handling IR, which it did a mediocre job of managing. Linux irrecord is ass, but the vero software mitigates it by having a premade library of common remotes.

Their user forums are actually really great, their software support is also pretty good. I had help from both with setting my box up to match my TV feature set.

The vero V looks to be over budget for you, but if you end up deciding you need to spend money to get a solid product, i definitely recommend this one.

I used a chunk of my 401k as an interwst free down payment on my house.

This would make more sense if the boat wasnt drawn like it was on land.

Please recommend me some android tv boxes that can play local .mkv h.265 video files :)

My current tv is so old that the netlfix app isn't supported anymore. From an usb stick it can only play h.264 videos so I always have to run them through hand brake first. That is why I want to buy an streaming box. Preferably under 50€...

The ps3 still gets updated to be able to play the latest blu-rays. You could probably find one for under 100 at your local ebay/craigslist pretty easily.

I get that the answer is supposed to be "it doesn't matter" but if you take time into account, it actually fucking does, and also makes it hugely obvious what the actual answer is.

Intent: rehashed joke about men being bad at asking for help
Result: sexist comic about woman never helping men

PoE Single Board/Micro/Mini Computer/Server

I have an 8gb Raspberry Pi 4 that has been a workhorse for years. I keep it for my not intense but essential networking purposes, NetBoot.xyz, Homepage, etc., because I can run it over PoE (edit: Power over Ethernet), so it is always on as long as my network is up....

DaGeek247 ,

Power over Ethernet. it essentially combines the power plug with the ethernet cable. super helpful for stuff like network cameras where the nearest wall socket is 50 feet away.

They've been doing this since the russians first invaded; painful sanctions with threats of even more painful sanctions if things continue. You don't cut off everything instantly, it leaves you with nothing to negotiate with if they push even further. It also causes trust issues with other countries if you cut off someone completely for one (admittedly major) fuckup. That's how you lose allies.

Also worth noting is this quote from the treasury department (thanks botzo);

"To deny Russia the resources necessary to support its brutal war against Ukraine, Treasury is designating targets including a major cog in Russia’s financial infrastructure; more than two dozen third-country sanctions evaders in Europe, East Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East; and hundreds of entities in Russia’s military-industrial base and other key sectors."

Theyre adding sanctions for proxy countries that are being used to get around already established sanctions. Cleanup, essentially.

To my untrained eye, yeah that's kinda sketch, the skin is peeling off. Definitely get mad at the mantanance people. But it also doesn't look dangerous on its own; it's just a covering for the actual wing.

Flying while missing a whole tail rudder is entirely doable. A hole in a wing just isn't as serious.

Linus is many things, but I never saw him "shill" for anything that wasn't clearly labeled as such.

Fork bombs are things that infinitely spawn new forks, until the system crashes. Its an infinite 'if true, spawn new instance' loop that only stops when the system gets a hard reset.

I'm with you on this. Why are we giving this ahole a platform?

The only truth here is the one you choose. There are upward of seven billion people in the world. The truth you chase is the one that becomes your reality, especially when it comes to your relationships with other people.

To answer your question; believing yourself to be ugly and that woman only date men taller than you is a bigger factor in your ability to find a partner than the woman who dont date short and/or nonconventionally attractive men.
