Hi, I'm organising a conspiracy theories party, where everyone needs to make a presentation on their favourite conspiracy. So I started thinking that maybe I'll present one of a Lithuanian origin, but I can't really think of anything particularly interesting/wild? Do you know?

EDIT: I understand Lithuanian, I'm just not comfortable enough with writing in it.

Hi everyone, I know the title is somewhat dramatic, but I do feel upset. I'm an amateur photographer doing self-portraits. I used my first camera, the Canon 1200D, for 10 years. It served me well, but self-portraits were such a tedious job. I was running from my spot to check the camera after every shot.

So after a decade, I decided to buy something new. After a lot of reading, I decided on the R8. I was looking for a camera with Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, so I could have a live view on another device for self-portraits (what’s important is that often there’s no face in the frame and I need to manually adjust focus on a chosen part of the body).

I was super excited to buy it, even though it was A LOT of money for me. I bought it second-hand, and I’m still paying it off. And then I learned that the main functionality I was looking for doesn’t work. Camera Connect has been the worst app I’ve worked with. I’ve managed to connect it to my phone (and other devices) only twice, for about 5 minutes each time. Support doesn’t exist.

And I’m so angry and so, so, so frustrated. I have a camera that I can’t really use. Even today, I thought I could use my day off to shoot some photos, but of course, I couldn’t. And I don’t know what to do. I’m thinking of selling it and… I don’t know, buying another one? Another brand, maybe? Sorry for the rant, and I hope I can get some advice.
