RT @IPRealities: I’ve used Sony’s UWP kit for years. Can the little ECM-W5 replace it?

Same walk, both mics. Dropouts, backup recording an…

Hi @SonyUK @SonyAlpha,

I own both the Sony A1 and A1 II and have just ordered the new ECM-W5 wireless microphone system.

With newer Sony cameras supporting 32-bit float audio recording directly in-camera, I’m curious whether the A1 II has the necessary hardware to support this through a firmware update.

Is there a genuine hardware limitation, or is it simply a firmware restriction?

I’d love to see Sony introduce this feature, but I’m also interested in exploring whether I could develop a solution myself.

If Sony won’t build it, perhaps I will!

As much as this game annoys me, it actually helps my adhd brain focus.

Anyway. @clashroyale moments like this are dopamine overload

You can refund as much as you like, @OctopusEnergy then a maximum withdrawal pops up saying NO... £175 only...

[Gareth @IrishPixel]

@Rickgannon Click bait. Your follow up video shows this is about you.

Any empty pint and a £costly bill, smart. This wasn’t per pint, this was you advertising. Good luck.

In 2023 I said automation was coming. No job is immune.
Three years on, I checked what held up.
Creative tools leapt. Mass cuts didn’t.
Early-career hiring is where the bruise shows.
Learn the tools. Keep your judgement.
How has AI changed your work: better, harder, or both?

Hooked Astra into DaVinci Resolve.
It edited this video. Multicam. Graphics. Cuts.
Something that used to take 4–5 hours landed in about 10 minutes.
Not perfect. Broke my brain a bit.

Some evenings make you realise perspective is everything. The same sun that disappears for us is lighting up someone else’s morning. Endings and beginnings are often just a matter of where you’re standing.

Ok. I see it. I can see why trump does what he does.

The risk to America is intelligence. Literally.

I’m watching this press conference I have never been more convinced.

Knowing and knowledge matter. IQ doesn’t kill or destroy, it learns. Fable is an example

Pep is 100% on a substance.

Maybe the lesson is, we are all human.

My experience with @higgsfield has been awful.

I bought an annual AI plan, tested it briefly, realised it wasn’t as described or fit for purpose, and requested a refund the same day.

Their stance appears to be: if any credits are consumed, no refund, regardless of context. (i had 200 free on my account from the free plan)

But I already had free credits before upgrading. The early generations appear to have consumed those free credits first, meaning the paid credits were barely touched. Less than $10 used

Keeping over $1,000 for what amounts to a few dollars’ paid usage is deeply disproportionate and unreasonable.

Avoid.

Literally bought it as @MatthewBerman was shouting abou them. Gutted I now have to go a legal route to get a refund.

[Gareth @IrishPixel]

Also, its really not great. @grok is actually better. Cost perentage of AI customer service has a /goal never refund under any circumstances.

[Gareth @IrishPixel]

Avoid @higgsfield .

I paid for an annual AI generation plan, tested it briefly the same day, found it wasn’t as described / not fit for purpose, and asked for a refund. Less thank 90 credits consumed from 900. Refused

Disproportionate, unfair, and feels scam-like in practice.

Codex is a gamechanger. Way ahead of opus 4.7 imo. Its currently digging out a rotten 20:48 read in my inverter start time.

Opus could never find the source. Not only is codex finding it, its doing it while I watch. codex as it stands is as closed to an openclaw or hermes I have ecperienced. Now, @OpenAI make it romatley accessible with access to all chats.... ❤️‍🔥

This little test was to see if i can trust it....

[Gareth @IrishPixel]

my hermes @NousResearch is doing things my openclaw couldnt. I have it running on GTP5.4 with codex orchestrating from the outside

Its build its own browsers, scrapping tool and i am amazed! I have some life long health conditions and hermes is helping me cooridnate all info

[Gareth @IrishPixel]

This time of year is something else! Love stepping away from the tech and AI for this. Life is changing fast!
