That’s why it’s important to set expectations in advance. 50 images shot in the same setting and processed in bulk with maybe minor adjustments to each is something very different from 50 images that you have to touch up every single one.

I don’t disagree with the notion, but phrased like this it’s kind of like trolling/clickbait - getting people to engage regardless of what they’re saying.

Yep, that’s definitely confirmed by the work conditions he fosters.

Birbs aren’t real.

That’s strange - I had some of the same symptoms and it ended up being a completely different thing - a dying (and then eventually completely dead) SSD (the Phison controller fiasco).

Other than that the CPU itself seems fine and it’s only shown very minor degradation over the 4-5 years I’ve had it - i.e. it used to boost up to 4975 or 4950 single core, now it only goes up to about 4900 (no PBO, no CO); and I’ve also had to fix the SoC voltage because of the memory - but I haven’t touched that in like 3 years, so not sure it’s even degradation.

I’m getting worried, 'cause I’ve got the same. What killed yours?

Given enough time, same water would carve the tiles around the drain.

Got me wondering for a moment… even if it was real, what would be its practicality? Things like this are rarely done so just because.

There’s a joke in Bulgarian somewhat related to that. What’s commonly referred to as a prune plum we call something that roughly translates to “blue plum”. The joke goes something like this:

– Dad, what’s this?

– It’s a blue plum.

– Why is it red?

– Because it’s green.

Language is weird, but it’s ironic that our use of it makes it so.

If you only have the file in the cloud, it’s your fault too.

I’m not anti-AI, but I’m most definitely anti-corporate greed. I wish there was moderation in all of this. I wish there were regulations instead of letting companies blindly buy hardware before it’s even made based on what they or their competitors might be doing 2 years from now. Fuck that.

With that said, yes, AI is a helpful tool, yes, I’m using it every day at work, and yes, I can do without it no problem - just like I have for many many years.

Data you only have one copy of is data you don’t mind losing.
