For me, it's 3 layered.

At my main job, I use company issued Copilot.

For anything else, I use ChatGPT Plus (the 20USD one).

And for personal agentic work, I put together the following a few weeks ago.

Mac mini M6 32 GB running oMLX Jundot/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-oQ4e-mtp Hermes on my Celeron openmediavault NAS/homelab

"It ain't much, but it's honest work."

Next time I would splurge a bit more and buy a machine with more RAM.

Installing it rn

Now this is well done!

I don't think we are talking being able to keep time, that is a given for any musician playing to be recorded.

What the article is talking about is the teeny tiny imperfections of hitting the notes/drums at the beat (or "grid").

I agree that the imperfections are overfixed to an inhuman level.

Interestingly, there is a "swing" or randomize feature available in some hardware and I guess in every DAW, so if the producers wanted, they would be able to "fix" the notes to a grid, and then add a perfectly calculated random touch to make it sound human.

No way, I just wondered if there is a way to do this myself... Having to type in my password was getting tedious for my lazy self.

Jesus Christ, anotharr..

Considered to be better by whom? I only heard it is the most astroturfed model out there.

Genius. The people need an MS Teams UI option :O

Not only that, I tried the Adobe Reader counterpart and there sooo much things that look botched, eg. OCR.

Note taken. I need to re-do those screenshots anyway, and will bump the contrast on the new ones.

So cool. Black and white printing is a different beast, where you can get away with much less precision and you can produce fantastic results by just eyeing things and winging it. I know a printer who operates like this, gauging the developement by a pair of well trained eyes, and know others who treat their darkroom as a scientific laboratory and do density tests and swear by their DIY chemistry etc.

Lot's of ways to do it, in the end, if you enjoy the process, then all is good.

Many such projects were actually made, some of them are better documented then others. For this application I wanted something that is as off the shelf as possible.

Voice mode… interesting. Not sure about that. Handsfree operation is traditionally done with foot switches in the darkroom. You mean like “hey Siri, expose for 8 seconds”?

Analog photography is a wonderful world and is a great rabbit hole to jump into in this day and age IMHO.

Exactly the reason I went with it, and of course the proper documentation on their website was very useful as well.

Yes. I thought It's fair. Under 50$ for the app and a compatible smart plug vs 300$+ for a boutique hardware enlarger with a narrower feature set.

Fun fact, I planned an Apple Watch companion app as well, but the Apple Watch is just too erratic in the way it lights up randomly, no matter what app (live activity?) you run, and there is no way to put a red filter on either.

Trust me, in the dark, your eyes adapt and you will be able to read the GUI just fine. And as someone said, the reason the GUI is like this, is to not emit unnecessary light in the darkroom, thus preventing fogging the paper.

Using slow motion recording, I measured 0.1s accuracy. I'd say it's more than good enough. You can see a print on the website I made with the app and a smart plug. The average print needs between 4-60s of exposure.

As for how dependent it is on that specific type of hardware (Shelly plugs), it is 100% dependent as the app directly controls the smart plug (with the help of the router ofc). There is no way around it, no other smart switch family is currently supported.

>the law in this shape should not pass and its horrible that it even is drafted/proposed in it's current shape

Explain please, I am not familiar with the opinions of "privacy activists" in this matter.

Except that parents have no power whatsoever to effectively prevent kids coming into contact with harmful algorithms, sites eliciting dark patterns etc. Parents don't have power over multi billion dollar companies that have their stakes in harvesting the attention of kids. Only governments can blanket ban these things. At this point the responsibility should not be placed on parents but on companies.

holy slopperoni

no need to apologize, I like the vibe

I for example develop my (black and white) films myself and leave them to hang dry uncut, then proceed to store them in a box. When I have the time, I "scan" them using a MILC on a tripod, a 3d printed holder and a LED backlight panel. Afterwards I cut the strips up and file them properly for long term archival. Many of us do it this way.

Framework Making Jokes

I woudn't say the current state of the interweb is in a flourished state at all.

Not trying to be snarky but it is quite obvious that giving you the ability to make your own conclusions is never the goal of regular news sites.
