Saying the quiet part out loud, lol. Not that I could see any reasonable/legal use for such a tool in the first place...

Good ol' marching ants...

In a few years there will be a Finer Points piece on how having to set a custom color is too rigid, and we need a dynamic AI/ML solution.

How I captured incredible images of Icelandic volcanos and melted my drone in the process: "I flew a drone really close to an active volcano. It was really hot." ;)

I'm guessing it came with a number of drawbacks in the areas of economy/size, durability, etc. I agree the design has held up surprisingly well, and is a fun reminder of the more adventurous days...

FINALLY

Very cool!

Only if there was a mirror ~7.5 million LY away reflecting that light back to the telescope. Yeah, the light is out there, but it's 13 million LY away from us and continuing to travel away from us...

Here's an article on the subject, from Slate: "The Colors in the James Webb Space Telescope Photos Are Fake (And that's...

Agreed. Diagonal is the easiest value to start with, and has long been the standard for viewing output devices. So why not input? Of course I would hope that other helpful information is included...

I agree you need at least 2 numbers to really compare apples to apples, but for most people the one-number diagonal measurement is all you need. Of course I prefer and hope that aspect ratio and...

I'm how low diagonal polled, compared to the other options. It's the same way we measure screens like those on cameras, phones, and TVs. There's only one number, without any computation. Most...

I was surprised how low diagonal polled. It's the same way we measure screens like those on cameras, phones, and TVs. There's only one number, without any computation. Most sensors will be 3:2, but...

@dpr FYI, the R7 JPEG ISO 12800 thumbnail does not line up with the others. All other ISOs are fine.

As the universe continues to expand, almost everything is moving farther away from every other thing. I assume this is truer for the things that are farther away from us (like these 13b lightyear...

I don't share your disappointment, but there may be an element of diminishing returns with these kinds of extreme observations. At the same time, all 5 images reveal quite a lot that Hubble is not...

I think if we're debating on the location of the focal plane from the eyelash to the eyelid to the iris, MF is almost certainly not going to stay where you want it to be, unless you are using a...

I was thinking more along the lines of a 1998 Toyota Camry 😂 And every film & digital camera of that era.

Interesting '90s design aesthetic (aside from the screen UI)

In school I was actually taught to focus on the eyelashes. That was the early 2000s. With today's ultra-high-resolution sensors, I think a better target is the eyelids. The eyeball has mostly soft...
