dont ask me

2018-09-27 13:02:09 UTC  

sharp s2 here, it's used on the pixel 2. mine has an additional 8mp depth sensor.

2018-09-27 13:02:14 UTC  

Sony is retarded and lower number means better

2018-09-27 13:02:21 UTC  

kek

2018-09-27 13:02:23 UTC  

what did they even think when they decided on this

2018-09-27 13:02:56 UTC  

well pixel explains it, tbh this shit sensor makes good enough photos for everyday use.

2018-09-27 13:03:24 UTC  

With gcam HDR+ port to remove grain and add details its good enough for all your daily uses

2018-09-27 13:04:24 UTC  

Professionals should get DSLR anyway, so CONT:D - any sensor even the dated Sony IMX368 get any phone with this (literally the old rn3p uses it) or below this and you are all good for amateur uses. Dont bother with camera quality, even with the IMX362 the high-end Samsung devices with IMX333 etc or newer sensors cannot really provide that much more advantage.

2018-09-27 13:05:32 UTC  

interesting to know. my phone doesn't have ois, but the gcam port helps for low light.

2018-09-27 13:05:51 UTC  

there is a breakthrough with low light recently with new algorithms, sensors

2018-09-27 13:06:04 UTC  

to think that phones can take such good pictures in low light is amazing

2018-09-27 13:06:44 UTC  

the thing is there is also another way to think about this, which I like as I had to take philosophy as a subject at uni.

2018-09-27 13:06:53 UTC  

At what point to we stop believing what we see

2018-09-27 13:07:06 UTC  

Algorithms are making up details in the pictures, technically they arent ""real""

2018-09-27 13:07:15 UTC  

Chink cameras set to beautify how people look to make them more sexy. EDIT: have to add cute too because Japan.

2018-09-27 13:07:22 UTC  

its a double edged sword

2018-09-27 13:08:18 UTC  

what is your opinion on "mini PCs"

2018-09-27 13:08:31 UTC  

indeed, i'm glad my phone only has ai/beauty stuff on the selfie cam.

2018-09-27 13:08:36 UTC  

I am ordering a "Mini PC" from chinkland

2018-09-27 13:08:40 UTC  

Will report back on it

2018-09-27 13:09:00 UTC  

@Frederica Bernkastel i like them. i have a beelink x45 arriving in a few days.

2018-09-27 13:09:14 UTC  

the factory has just finalized the production planning and they will start making 100, 300, units a week up until 1000 units so I will have it shipped by Ddecember I hope.

2018-09-27 13:09:31 UTC  

it seems good but i've talked about it with a friend and he says it might be better to make your own PC out of cheap parts as a torrent machine

2018-09-27 13:09:55 UTC  

Its a small mini PC with 4GB 2400MHz DDR4 soldered on the board, some eMMC, M.2 SSD slot and Intel Celeron N4100.

2018-09-27 13:10:05 UTC  

Probably better, I just got this thing since it was interesting.

2018-09-27 13:10:13 UTC  

yes it is kinda interesting

2018-09-27 13:10:29 UTC  

for the record I paid like 150 USD for this

2018-09-27 13:10:38 UTC  

also pretty cheap

2018-09-27 13:10:44 UTC  

also depends, this one uses much less electricity than your old shit.

2018-09-27 13:10:50 UTC  

For torrent you can just laugh off everything

2018-09-27 13:10:57 UTC  

I use a Orange Pi PC for torrenting, with 5 TB attached

2018-09-27 13:11:00 UTC  

It ran two years

2018-09-27 13:11:06 UTC  

still running fine, on mixza sd card for OS

2018-09-27 13:11:15 UTC  

It handles 100Mbps transfers just fine

2018-09-27 13:11:27 UTC  

You dont even have to worry, literally 1 GB RAM and weak chink ARM Allwinner CPU

2018-09-27 13:11:53 UTC  

if i made a similar spec intel nuc, it would cost me €98/$116 usd more. not factoring in win 10 cost which my pc ships with.

2018-09-27 13:11:55 UTC  

seems like a pretty nice setup

2018-09-27 13:12:21 UTC  

Well I am upgrading now. THe reason for this is simple thoo. The HDD makes noise

2018-09-27 13:13:01 UTC  

So I decided a cheap shit device with the HDD offsite from where I sleep is a good idea, while my main stuff can stay in my bedroom since SSD.

2018-09-27 13:13:14 UTC  

but tbh this is the first time I am buying chink mini PC server

2018-09-27 13:13:27 UTC  

I heard the BIOS has no documentation so far and its hard to get Linux running
