I'm just this Bahá'í, you know? I ride my bike a lot. Throw some discs. And sometimes I do computerish engineery things.

@stevventje Seems it’s working on the iOS app. AppleTV, not so much.

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@stevventje Can confirm.

@Jim1967Roth @ManadaCan @BillSekerak @bowtiedbrazil @socialiststeve6 @redpocketaces And most teachers work significantly more each day than that, despite being paid only for 8.

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@bowtiedbrazil @socialiststeve6 @redpocketaces “Now everyone should pay” seems off to you?

Do you… do you not know how education is funded in the first place?

Does that alone not help you understand why it’s important?

@LukeMiani Welcome to the entirety of the first twenty years of computing. Exciting to be back there again.

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@sdw Indeed. The 3G shows that pretty clearly, moving to an all black design within a single generation. The 4 and 5 kept the same approach, with any material able to be black being black.

And then Steve was gone.

@DonaldJTrumpJr From a rational perspective, a humanist perspective, an intellectual perspective, this is unacceptable.

Be better. Some people look up to you.

@stxpdx @KOINNews The part they left out was that it was an authorized occupant *of the cockpit*, and that the issue was that someone authorized to be in the cockpit attempted to shut the engines down in flight.

@b2wicey @iDeviceHelpus @markgurman Sure. The original Mac cost $2,495 — in 1984.

That’s $7,400 today.

Tell us about how that failed.

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@KenBiskit @Brodiesmith21 … every?

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@halidecamera @hueless Dang. So good I bought it twice — but got three versions.

Can use the triple-click accessibility shortcut to enable a monochrome color filter, which helps for composition, but meh.

And if you have access to per-subpixel information in RAW, … 192MP monochrome image?

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@halidecamera Okay; after years of waiting and hoping — and the price increases that incurred — this Halide 1 purchaser now has a lifetime Halide 2 license … as a way of adding weight to one request: A monochrome mode, please. I miss @hueless so much.

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@halidecamera @hueless Ah. So the one-time H2 purchase will cover H3 as well?

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@halidecamera @hueless Yay!

So I should’ve waited for 3? 😘😉

Happy to send my TestFlight address when you’re ready. 😁

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@FriendlyWire At least that’s how it’s done for product photography/ videography.

Also, absurdly beautiful wiring there, sir.

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@FriendlyWire Surprised at the number of confidently incorrect answers here. The only correct answer is to adjust for available dynamic range. The LED brightness is far above the brightness of the background. The correct solution is to greatly increase the lighting of the scene.

@_sackmann @ruirisito @liquiddensity @spacex_dreamer @rsgnl Yeaaaah, you didn’t “IMO” one bit of it. And now with the ad hominem. Classy. Peace.

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@_sackmann @ruirisito @liquiddensity @spacex_dreamer @rsgnl Regardless of your “AKSHULLLY I AM TECHNICALLLLY CORREKT” obsession, what you unquestionably did do was suggest people ignore the implications of charging to 100%.

That’s a bad bit of advice. Everyone should understand the factors beyond “Matt said!” and make their own decision.

[Paul Blair @Masque]

@_sackmann @itsthelee @elonmskdownfall @notarealpIace @liquiddensity @spacex_dreamer @rsgnl Okay. This shows you don’t actually understand the implications. The documentation is out there, and there is a reason Apple offers this option. Apple, Tesla, every EV maker… It’s just chemistry.

If 15% is “a few percent” to you, enjoy your phone the way you want to!
