Epic have come a long way from Epic MegaGames, and it isn’t always a fairytale story I suppose.

Someone here on Lemmy highlighted that quite nicely when Valve dropped their Half Life documentary. Valve embraces their past. They cherish it. They still maintain their old games to honor their success.

Epic on the other hand completely wiped old Unreal titles from the relevant stores and don’t give a fuck about supporting any of them. Which is a shame. Also I admire the tech behind of modern Unreal engines, so there are still geniuses at work who are likely passionate. Too bad they essentially only ride the Fortnite train outside their engine development.

Those are some rookie measly numbers.

FTFY

I counted 68 so far, but I fell asleep in between, so I may have missed some. I am also starting to believe, the cats just go back inside to jump out again.

It would be weird if the protests had a big effect on the predicted votes. Who would be all for the AfD and then suddenly go “yeah well, I changed my mind now”?

The protests should mainly convince the government to finally start the process to ban the AfD.

I don’t think it got worse. At least in regards to webcams. It looks more like that for many years they essentially re-used the same sensors in different cams and didn’t really evolve. Which always seemed weird, given that smartphone with fantastic sensors have been around for ages now - with lenses which are likely even smaller than what a webcam would be able to allow. Only the relatively recent home office trend has brought some change. But so far it still doesn’t look too good.

It was a Logitech C922. It’s a piece of shit though. A bit less than other webcams I had, but I can’t even properly key out my greenscreen if the lighting in the room is not 100% perfect. With the smartphone cam it works even with completly shitty lighting.

The only webcam I would have somewhat hope in would be the Obsbot Tiny 2, but €350 is too much for something I can solve with an old smartphone. (Also I don’t need 70% of the features of the obsbot tiny; I mainly want a good sensor and image processing.)

I bought one of those arms you can attach to the desk and then position as necessary. They have a standard ISO mount you can use for cams, microphones, etc… I also attached my normal webcam to it before. No I have a smartphone mount (this one, to be precise) on it.

True, you will need 10 to 20 seconds setup each time. But the video quality is really impressive. And another upside: you can be damn sure that no one watches you without you knowing, because you have to setup the cam each time and it doesn’t just sit there. But I guess that’s only a minor advantage.

I put up a specific mount to quickly put the smartphone in place and have a dedicated charger cable right beside it I just need to attach real quick. If I used my iPhone, I could probably make use of the MagSafe mechanism to mount and charge in one go. (I think there are also MagSafe compatible cases for other phones, so that might be something to think about in general.)

Do you have an old SmartPhone lying around? Or could you put aside your SmartPhone during those usage scenarios? Then grab DroidCam (or rather DroidCam OBS, if you mainly need it together with OBS) and you have a camera quality that can compete with dedicated cameras (not webcams). Almost all webcams suck hard in comparison.

Also new people are still motivated to change stuff. They are not yet worn down by bureaucracy.

4 million.

2 million would be 1%.

Legal Eagle? Let’s french this up a bit and call him L’Eagle.

In the middle of what you believe was a two minute song.

Landwirtschaft und selbstständig? Sind das da nicht fast ausschließlich kleine bis große Betriebe? Von denen kenn ich’s dann wiederum, dass man sich dort die Überstunden anrechnen lässt und dann im Winter abbummelt.

Reißt die Produktionsmittel an euch, hat so ein Rauschebart mal geschrieben.

Dessen Nischl seh’ ich hin und wieder.

I explained it in the remaining thread/post: technical issues. Sorry for the noise.

Haha, that made me exhale faster than usual.

(I deleted the duplicates now… and I’ll be more careful with retry behaviors.)
