@stalman It’s too much effort for me to open a 3rd party app 😢

@secondfret I like this take. Ima “what problem does this solve” person but I think the tech is fun and weird and cool.

@dvdaltizer fyi, I used to have a 512GB iPhone with over 400GB of free space and could still only record like 8 mins of a ProRes. iOS seems really weird on using free space.

Sorry I need to take this call. iPhone 15 with a Studio Display.

@HiD_Timbermike @miikey716 @dvdaltizer If you check the camera roll the whole duration of the clip won’t be there. In time it completes. Only tested on 20 seconds clips.

@miikey716 @HiD_Timbermike @dvdaltizer Well, turns out many thumb drives don’t have fast write speeds. The iPhone lets me record as long as I want but just have to wait for the ProRes files to write before pulling the plug. Same seems to be true for SD cards. My SSDs are fast enough to keep up in real time though.

I’m super surprised this isn’t viral.

General Mills—maker of Cheerios, Yoplait, Nature Valley, etc—said today that they're making huge profits by raising prices on consumers.

Their quarterly profits have increased 20% year-over-year. All the growth came from price hikes.

Corporate profits are driving inflation.

@imPatrickT @bertosfilmbag I get your point there but fwiw I still want a hamburger in resin.

[Stephen Petto @stephenpetto]

@imPatrickT @bertosfilmbag Wait what do you mean? That’d be a nice piece.
