If you want to increase signal to noise ratio, you need more photosites, meaning you need a bigger sensor. If you get a bigger sensor, you're going to need a larger lens. The larger lens also lets in more light which gets you faster shutter speeds, and a crisper image. An added bonus of larger sensor and larger lens, is that you can get shallower depth https://it.slashdot.org/story/... field to isolate the subject on the camera.

Except for my Sony/Google TV that has the TV as an app in an android back-end. It tries to sync to google every few minutes and pops up an error message in the middle of the screen.

It's basically un-usable. I managed to hack around it a bit, but other people won't be as fortunate.

Comment Re:When will Tesla lose the name "Autopilot"? (Score 1) 126

People using this feature freak me out when I'm riding my motorcycle into San Francisco. The normal behavior of phone-users is to brake, speed up, slow down, bounce off of the lane markers (Driving by Braille) and generally endanger those of us on two wheels.

Tesla drivers? There they are, tapping away on the fucking phone with their eyes down and the car is gliding along, centered in the lane and steady, station-keeping a safe distance form the car in front of it.

Please, more like this.

As far as people blaming cars for their own stupidity, I'll trust the engineers at Tesla, thanks. Our Audi 5000 didn't take off by itself and neither do Teslas.

My Audi 5000 always got the accelerator stuck under those horrible floor mats. I eventually got tired of fixing the floor mats and just took them out to be safer. About 2 months later, the throttle itself got stuck. I shut that boat of a wagon off but lost the brake booster support to slow it down. I pulled the e-brake and the e-brake cable snapped, so I had to perform a few "evasive maneuvers" to get it safely into a parking lot and stopped.

It's not a matter of downloading the emails... it's a matter of making sure he has valid logins to every site he's using and that he can change his email on each site to a new one in that time.

I know it would take me close to 30 days to change my profile on every site i've created a login on in the last 20+ years...Most of them have email confirmation when you change your address. Not to mention requiring email for password resets.
