From what I watched of the presentation, there was also a fair bit of moving around. In my studio, we primarily used it as a way to hide main camera adjustments in the edit, usually from the interviewee changing positions, slouching, etc. Generally, a high enough quality production will never rely on a single camera regardless.

You're right! They suck, this is the first time they've ever built a phone and they have no history of working devices to prove themselves!

The bigger problem with Qualcomm is that they're primarily the reason why devices only got a two year span of updates and poor support. Each board built for each phone still had to get the software support starting with Qualcomm before it could be built with new source for updates. Outside that 2 year window, every device OEM had to support the hardware themselves. That's why new phones with older SOCs never got any updates at all. (Read up on Project Mainline as one attempt to mitigate this problem.)

I'm not surprised at all that OEMs are moving towards own/custom SOCs or other sources. Been seeing more Motorola phones with Mediatek socs, Samsung has Exynos, Google now with Tensor.

> The weirdest thing in the Google presentation is that several sections had presenters talking to a different camera than facing the screen. That just felt very strange.

B-Camera angles are common in interviews. It's to help create a less formal and less stuffy 'presentation' like feel. It's intended to be more of a "you're standing there, somewhat behind the scenes" feel.

TLDR: Nope.

I think the post you replied to is a fantastic example of what I was referring to, btw.

> Apple employees are reportedly required to link their personal iCloud with their work account/devices

That's a big fuckin' nope and likely illegal.

Mint and Pop are still Ubuntu based, not to ignore the Debian underpinnings of Ubuntu.

I've stuck with xUbuntu because it seems to be the most sane of the bunch when it comes to defaults and preinstalled software. Once installed, it does a good job of staying out of my way UI wise.

From my experience:

Linux > Steam > Proton > Windows Game

works better than

Linux > Wine > Steam > Windows Game

There's really no reason to be running Steam in Wine when Steam runs natively within Linux and Proton does the work for you for each individual game.

Proton.

Play on Linux.
