Well, also, if you're shooting 120 medium format film or even 4x5 or larger films...the depth of field and looks just aren't something you can readily get from digital sensors.

I guess if they actually started making medium format sized sensors (ie the size of MF film) or larger then it might work...but those would be insanely expensive.

If they wanted to make me happy....start selling 400ft spools again of their Vision3 35mm cinema film that I can respool to shoot stills with.

The new stuff they're releasing for motion pictures without the old remjet backing that had to be "washed off" before processing sounds exciting....and would make life easier for those developing at home with either C41 or ECN-2.

Hell, really make me happy and start selling a version of the Vision3 films in 120 medium format and PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY.

With everything going on with air traffic based issues since Trump started destroying the FAA and all other government agencies

What are you talking about ? If the Dems in the senate...as few as 5 of them would vote to pass the CLEAN Continuing Resolution, the govt would open and things would go to normal.....

This is the same CR that they have all voted on numerous times.....it isn't Trumps fault here, it's the Dems holding the US hostage here...

This reminds me of something that was done back in the (I think) 90s for one of the Pentium chips. Instead of it lying flat on the motherboard it had all of its connectors along one edge and stood upright on that edge in a special mount that kept it upright so that all of it was exposed to the air and didn't need a heat sink or special fan. Yes, it had its drawbacks, mostly that it couldn't be used in a laptop and needed a tall case, but it worked and worked well. I know, because I used one for several years back then and only replaced it to upgrade.

China is not communist, even if it refers to itself as communist. It's not neoliberal, either. China has a strong private sector with strong individual initiative. It was communist, but that started to change in 1978. China is a one-party state.

China is, however....our enemy.

We'd be well served to NOT become any more dependent upon them than we already are....

You can go away from home without planning or stress about where you need to charge or how long it will take - most daily journeys are much shorter than the range of typical EVs. So it's more about how willing people are to be subservient to those who have told them to think of it as sacrificing freedom.

Most people also do not stay at home 365 a year...they travel...for vacations, work, holidays, etc.

Currently they have ICE vehicles and supporting infrastructure that supports both, without the consumer having to even think of planning...

The same cannot be said for an EV....and most folks don't wanna lay out heavy cash for a one trick pony.

Till the EV and infrastructure can support the casual ease of the ICE experience....it just ain't gonna happen.

Hell, even for those daily short trips you promote...a very significant portion of the US population has no viable way to charge at home overnight which completely kills getting an EV.

If 99% of householders *also* didn't park on their driveway, perhaps you'd have a point. But most people with a driveway and a car do in fact park on their driveway, so you don't have a point.

Lots of folks out there renting those houses with driveways you speak of....

Landlords tend to take a negative attitude of tenants tearing things up and installing stuff on the house....not to mention, tenants aren't too happy to pay to install hardware, etc...that they have to leave behind when they move.....

With any luck, once Trump is out of office, all of those people involved in the illegal activities by ICE will be charged with crimes, found guilty of breaking the law, and thrown in prison.

Since when did enforcing immigrations laws ON THE BOOKS become something illegal to do?

We're not having to clean up the mess left by former administrations that basically just opened the borders to anyone wanting to cross over illegally .....

Now we finally had an admin and will to enforce the laws on the books and kick people here illegally the fuck outta here.

Since when did enforcing immigrations laws and your borders become something illegal to prosecute?
