Jeez, we have surveillance hobbyists now.

This was some years back but I think the multiple files were primarily because we took breaks in the interview and stopped the camera. I don’t remember if any parts hit the file size limits. I still have the files on a server someplace, so might check.
I did the audio-only part with a separate audio recorder because the phone was full. The video is in a bunch of parts but I don’t remember if any are larger than 2GB. It is FAT32 so maybe they must be smaller. I remember the phone ran out of battery power after maybe an hour, and I plugged in a power bank (10000 mah) and that was enough for the rest of the session.
$3000, yowch, but I like the idea of a small-laptop sized screen that is pocket sized. It means being able to read or edit a reasonable amount of text. I don’t need the phone or camera in it for that matter. Actually how about just a foldable HDMI monitor that size, and I can run it from another phone or computer.
I shot a 4 hour interview on my 2016 Moto G4. The last hour or so was audio only because the phone ran out of internal storage (32GB) and I didn’t have an SD card in it. It has a slot though.
“the medium soda 40 cents cheaper than the large because it exists only to make the large seem like a better deal.”
“Fly first class if you can, third class if you must, but never fly second class”.
I dunno, maybe the diagnosis is fine but the companies that run it are sure to save copies. I can just see databreaches now, “5 million stolen dick picks uploaded to dark web”. Complete with labelling of which ones are diseased though, so that’s a help.
Don’t forget Algol-60. Per Tony Hoare, “Here is a language so far ahead of its time that it was not only an improvement on its predecessors but also on nearly all its successors.”
Will they ban ad blockers next?
Can anyone explain why Wayland exists or who cares about it? X has been around forever, it sucks but it works and everything supports it. Alternatives like NeWS came around that were radically better, but were too soon or relied too much on corporate support, so they faded. The GNU project originally intended to write its own thing, but settled for using X. Now there’s Wayland though, which seems like a slight improvement over X, but mostly kind of a lateral move.
If you’re going to replace X, why not do something a lot better? If not actual NeWS, then something that incorporates some of its ideas. I think Squeak was like that but I don’t know much about it.
Most everything everywhere is virtual these days, even when the host hardware is single tenant. Companies running hosted applications on bare metal are rare. I run personal stuff that way because proxmox was too much hassle, but a more serious user would have just dealt with it.
Um lol no. It would have to be 3x the physical size of the original battery to have 3x the capacity. But if they made a new, thicker phone case to accommodate it, that could work and such things have been done a few times for other phones.
Sad to hear. Newpipe is still working fine (as of a couple minutes ago) if that helps. That’s through a residential IP. I will try yt-dlp from a data center IP when I get a chance. I hope they haven’t blocked that.
Org mode has a time tracking feature, dunno about report generation.
Off the topic of my head, maybe these can get you started:
Hackers, by Stephen Levy

I looked at the article and it turns out the phones are in humongous housings with cine lenses. So not shot with phones in the way it might sound. Citizenfour (2013 best documentary Oscar) was mostly shot with a Sony FS-100 camcorder (2K HD I’m pretty sure) that the filmmaker carried in her purse.
Is this a big deal? Tons of movies have been shot with consumer camcorders which are probably worse than a modern phone camera.
Spoiler: Xiaomi is #1 now.
OOP was a 1990s thing that is still around but don’t worry about it too much at first.
The classic intro book is Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs aka SICP. You can find it online with a web search. It will give you a good grounding in fundamentals. Then you can figure out what to pursue next.
Around here, Target (department store chain) will let you order stuff through their app and pick it up in the store parking lot. If you order through the web you have to wait around inside the store to get it. I still won’t install the app but this issue annoys me.
