To all the camera nerds here on HN: anyone know a good equivalent article / camera comparison blog post?
Would be interesting to read another perspective on the same subject…

Most extensions can be installed, but they do not actually function properly. Or, maybe only for 50%.
The most annoying part is, you do not know which extensions don't work (like content blockers, etc.)
Does that mean existing uBlock Origin users should re-download the extension ? Confusing instructions...
Signed binaries ensure that the software comes from a trusted source, reducing the risk of tampering and malicious modifications.
Also, it seems quite vague to me exactly who/what company/entity is behind it.
Does Signal, the current "privacy respecting, secure default" for mainstream people, provide this?
Curious, what was the result for fastmail.com addresses ?
Meanwhile, i need a way to communicate with everyone, preferably as secure as possible.
That makes sense, hopefully it’s something that can be resolved sometime soon. Would be great if mainstream people have another, privacy conscious, alternative to big tech…
(which everyone uses who follows the default App setup flow.)
This makes the App a no-go for everyone and their grandmother. The registration and setup process was so cumbersome, even people with some tech knowledge in my friend circle had trouble getting it to work.
Anyway, it seems so user hostile, why not just make connecting a phone number optional? That would attract many more people?
Or would there be other limitations, like compatibility with a processor/chip…?
However you could also install eOS yourself instead of course, if you prefer.
I wonder whether it will impact the performance (Firefox) and things will become noticeably slower...
Recently i noticed highlighting extensions in Firefox were slowing things down significantly, not just loading but also while scrolling up and down web pages.
on top of all the things already mentioned like privacy issues, etc.
- you'll also still see "Branded Content" when paying Google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branded_content
- because of Googles "monopoly", they take a big % of your money, instead of you actually paying the content creators themselves.
This week i configured Keyboard Maestro to turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when my MacBook (M1 Pro) goes to sleep, and re-enable them on wake.
This has had a huge impact on the battery drain while not being used. Even when the lid is closed.
Would recommend.
I have no idea which OS you are on, but for me it has been working flawlessly for many years, on iOS (using WireGuard.)
One exception: Apple blocking their services when using a VPN IP-address, on macOS. But that's an Apple issue of course...
Even years back, when Proton still had frequent connection/App issues, my phone using Mullvad was very reliable, and hasn't failed even once.
