I’m at the stage now where I just skip over podcast chapters that are dedicated to Apple’s Vision Pro. And if the podcast doesn't have chapters, I just mark it as listened and then delete the podcast episode.

I went to a vintage camera swap meet / market at Box Hill today, it was great (as always). Lots of Minolta, Mamiya and Leica cameras, unfortunately I am not interested in those camera systems (yet), so I didn’t buy any of them.

I did however purchase a Minolta Auto Meter Vf, which I’ve been told is a pretty accurate light meter. The seller reminded me of Comic Book Store guy from The Simpsons, had a sarcastic tongue when explaining to me what I should look for in a light meter, but was pleasant when I decided to purchase this one.

I’ve downloaded the manual and I now have the job of figuring out how to use this.

My hand, holding my new-to-me Minolta Auto Meter Vf, which is a light meter used to calculate the settings I would need to use on my camera to take an evenly exposed photo. The screen reads a shutter speed of 1/125, and ISO is set to 800.

I’m a Nikon film camera tragic, so it would make sense for me to have a Nikon ad in a frame on my wall. I found a couple of ads, one for the Nikon F100 – a camera I have – and another for the Nikon F4, which I love the ad for because it has that fat wide sans-serif hiragana superimposed. So good.

I’m not great with the photoshopping though, so blowing these up bigger than 6cm x 4cm is a bit of a hurdle for me. The scans also need a bit of cleaning up.

@decryption did you feel the quake down your way at all?

I’m crunching down some videos for a client of mine, so I’ve put my M2 Pro Mac mini to work. Chucked 58 videos into the Handbrake queue, and pressed go. It’s chugging along at about 160fps, CPU usage up to just over 800%, and the machine’s getting pretty warm.

I wonder what the cookers are going to base their entire personality on now, now that Dan Andrews announced his resignation???

My current stash of 35mm film. I think it’ll last me a little while.

The Fuji canister I think is Fuji Color C200? I can’t remember and it kept rolling around on the bench.

The one solitary 120 roll here is Kodak Color 200.

Still a big fat positive this morning after my first test 5 days ago. At this rate I’ll be lucky to have any semblance of a Christmas on the 25th.

Hmm I dunno Australia Post, you reckon there’s something at EPPING PARCEL LOCKER that’s waiting for me to collect? 🤔🤔🤔

May the 4th I think is my most hated day of the year.

Got woken up overnight by an earthquake 🫠 3.6 Richter from Sunbury, only 25km away (that’s ~15.5mi in the old money)

No damage to anything except my slumber.

Amazing thread! So much information here.

Do Australia next! We definitely need this level of scrutiny with the big two supermarket chains here. https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@badlogic/111071396799790275

Loaded up some Kodak Ultramax 400 film into my Agfa Optima Sensor flash point and shoot camera, ready to take some photos and test whether the haze in the lens of this bad boy makes only potato quality photographs. But the weather outside is so cold, and so overcast, everything is just grey.

This “feature” was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, I finally switched to Firefox at home (was using it for dev work at my day job).

After a quick look on their website, it doesn’t seem like I can donate to the Mozilla Foundation, does anyone know if this is possible? https://infosec.exchange/@malwaretech/111019619190896517

I purchased a Bronica PE 50mm f/2.8 lens for my ETRSi from Japan via eBay on Wednesday morning, and it arrived at my doorstep 98 hours later, I’m staggered at this speed. Granted, it was DHL and shipping wasn’t exactly cheap, but c’mon, this is coming from the other side of the planet to where I am.

And of course the lens is in fantastic condition.

Is there really no way to block all calls from WhatsApp for iOS? I use the messaging part of the app occasionally, but never the phone call part, and all calls I’ve ever received from WhatsApp are spam / deadair calls from countries like Uzbekistan and Zimbabwe, places I don’t conduct any business in.

I find it VERY INTERESTING that the hottest Reddit post in my feed right now when using Apollo, is the post from @christianselig about the outrageous Reddit API costs (at almost 44K upvotes), but for SOME reason this post doesn’t appear AT ALL in my feed when using the official Reddit app.

How odd! I wonder WHY this is the case? Why isn’t a post with 44 thousand upvotes NOT APPEARING on the official Reddit app Home feed? 🤔🤔🤔

It’s 8.48am right now, everyone has been in the office for the past 20 minutes, and we’re all still talking about the earthquake.

How far up your fucking arse does your vacuous brainless skull have to be, to write utter dribble like this and think you’re all-knowing in this shit?

Oh it’s LinkedIn, carry on then.
