I see a lot of people posting about their deliveries. Anybody have thoughts or opinions so far on the phone? I want real answers not from a tech-youtube-influencer.
Camera noob here, I literally just googled for best travel camera and the osmo 3 came up.
TLDR: will it work well under the bright lighting of an ice rink?
My hockey team is going to a tournament abroad in a few months. I want to get a camera to document our time there (nothing serious, no YouTube channel, just a video to share of the experience with friends and family). I want to film both our tourist adventures and some of the games. I don't want to use my phone, and I'm also hoping to get a camera that will last for future trips and travel.
I see everyone talking about it's low-light features but what about bright lights? I often have trouble getting any kind of camera to work at the rink because of the lighting and how fast people are moving. Some of my friends shoot for the pro teams and have super expensive special setups, but obv I'm not trying to be a pro.
Any insights?
This may be a little complex, so I'm going to tell my story (issue?) from the beginning. I am not a writer, I am just somebody who really enjoys reading. Novels, historical fiction, fiction, etc.
I am in my 30's. Before I was born, my uncle sat down with my grandfather, and asked him to explain his life story. My uncle wrote down everything my grandfather said, word for word, even in his broken English accent. My grandfather survived the holocaust, and then escaped the soviets.
Cut to now, I have SO many questions I want to ask, and so many things I want to know. But everyone in my family from that generation is dead, my uncle is dead, I have nobody to talk to.
A few weeks ago, I had this idea. I put the original transcript of that life story into Claude, told it to do lots of historical research (specific places, dates, events), and then take on my grandfathers voice and answer my questions. It's been great in opening my eyes to all that has happened (as well as finding real historical resources I couldn't find on my own).
Now, I have asked it to re-write the life story in the form of a novella, with way more descriptors and events from that time. I don't want to publish/sell this, it's purely for me and my immediate family members. It's not done yet, as I keep going back to edit many parts (because obviously AI doesn't have the human touch and gets things wrong), but a majority of the text is generated by AI.
HOWEVER, I want to get this copyrighted, just so nobody could ever take his personal story in the future and use it for something else. From what I've googled, AI-generated stories can not be copyrighted. To what extent? Also how do you feel about this ethically/morally?
When I try to google things like this, the only results are completely AI-generated books, or authors that just barely used AI. This feels like an in-between grey area.
Absolutely love this game, have been trying to play through it without looking up too many hints or spoilers. I do know from Reddit that there is NG+.
I’ve followed the story line and just did the embiggening cocktail coffee machine thing, and the game ended with Tully still being raised. However, because of my no spoilers, I just straight followed the main story and there’s SO much of the yard I haven’t explored yet. A few times I stumbled upon some labs that were difficult, and left them because I assumed the story would lead me there later.
Do I just start over and explore everything?
Magyar? Looking to play with hungarian speakers. I posted in the discord too, but not seeing much activity there.
TLDR: I just want a very small, very light phone to text and listen to music. Do I wait for the Elite shipment or get a Jelly Max or something else?
I've had the titan 2 since december. I like it, but now it's getting warmer out and I'm not wearing a big coat or bag to carry this BRICK around. I went the dumb phone route about 2 years ago not with any agenda, but just because I genuinely enjoy gadgets. I've had the CAT22 flip, the light phone, and now the titan 2. I also work in cybersec so I enjoyed being able to root and have an alternative to google/apple. Lately the inconviences of that have been getting to me, so I un-rooted and accepted the newest android update. I can finally use work apps and bank apps now! But have given up on privacy.
But now in my quest to scroll less, I've been spending more time just going outside and walking around my city everyday. As a woman, I usually have no pockets 🙃 to put this brick in, I also prefer to not have a purse. During the winter just a coat was reliable enough. I guess where I'm losing my patience is that the titan 2 is not only too big/heavy/sharp cornered to carry around everyday, it does actually take me longer to type out messages on this thing. The keyboard was cool at first, but I miss swipe to text, and I also miss being able to type QUIETLY. I hate that google/apple/big tech are making it harder and harder to achieve data privacy, and I'm about to just give in.
I just want a very small, light phone that I can: Listen to music Send a quick text Check Teams messages (needed for work) And sometimes use maps.
I pre-ordered the non pro version of the elite, but idk when that will ship. I want something soon, or now. The jelly max looks okay, but a little thick and heavy. The Bluefox NX1 looks good and is affordable, but doesn't work well with tmobile. I've even looked at the moto razr ultra (gross, overpriced, brings me back to a regular smartphone).
I just don't know what to do anymore, and I feel pushed to give in and get a regular ass google smartphone.
Any thoughts/opinions/discussins to open up on this?
