Technically all the Sony cameras run on Android. Older models (e.g. the a7 II) allow you to install specially built "PlayMemories" Android apps.

Nowadays Android is mostly a hidden implementation detail, but I did recently see someone Claude+ADB some neat stuff for their Sony camera.

I combine the a7cII with various small primes (Sony 24mm f2.8, Sony 40mm f2.5, Sigma 90mm f2.8, Voigtlander 35mm f1.4) and I have a very capable camera that fits in a tiny bag. It's great for street and travel.

Then when I need to I can attach the same body to a big lens (Tamron 28-200, Sigma 100-400) and slap on a Smallrig grip to counteract the lens weight. It's great for protests and birding.

IMO the benefit is that one can purchase a single body and do big camera and small camera things with it.

What does the company do?

It seems silly for Google to throw away its competitive advantage and essentially turn itself into another conversational LLM. It's basically just a worse chatgpt at this point.

Sure, it's not much money to us, but it's probably a lot of money to most of the voting population.

In this case keys are per-sensor and revokable. So surely if someone spends a lot of money and extracts a sensor key it can only get minimal use before revocation?

Haha, all good.

I could have sworn that the second posting was automatically collapsed into the first.

Those screenshots are hideous. What's with the kerning in the headings?

Nope

I like how the footnotes are all broken. Like the repairability footnote links to charging. Lots of money was spent making that website.

I had a similar idea for take-home tests for software interviews. Run a bash script to commit all changes in a repo every 5 seconds. The candidate then submits a tarball of the git repo.

  #!/usr/bin/env bash
  while true; do
    git add -A
    if ! git diff --cached --quiet; then
      git commit -m "$(date --iso-8601=seconds)"
    fi
    sleep 5
  done
