Anyone have an APL keyboard lying around?

I am among us in this forum and am seriously interested. I would like a second camera to complement my a7Rv (I have all the lenses I want and need). I am carefully reading and watching reviews while I consider if it will be worth it (to me). I am leaning towards buying it.

... but what I really want is an a9R with a 50mp global sensor.

Stated better than I would. The universe of photography pontifications is rife with statements that begin:

• Only real cameras...
• A real photographer would never...
• You can't do...

Understood, you are not a member of the Arbiters Of Photography Committee but you feel you know them well enough to speak on their behalf. Can you provide a link to their definitions, or to their membership signup? I would like to become a member so I can define things.

Really?

I was not aware the Arbiters Of Photography Committee had issued such a ruling. Are you a member? Do you know how I could join? Maybe I'll just start my own committee and issue my own decrees on the true definition of "a photograph".

If was running a web server and the monitoring software you mention, I suspect you are correct and a beefier CPU would make sense. I have another FreeBSD box with much beefier specs that I use as a media server (SAMBA, AFS, NFS, web server, MySQL, etc, etc). I am thinking about using SNMP to do more intensive monitoring of the gateway box so the CPU hit will be mostly on the media server.

I am using a similar box and it works great. I am running FreeBSD and I use powerd to keep the CPU throttled down and thus reduce the power consumption. Mine has a quad core Atom chip so the wattage is already pretty low. Maybe not as low as an ARM or something like that but I have plenty of horsepower to spare for named, dhcpd, ntpd, and any number of live monitors running on the screen for my entertainment.

Since 1997 I have rolled my own with FreeBSD. The first was an old desktop (Dell? Gateway?) with two ethernet cards. One for the ISDN "modem" (maybe it was called a CSU/DSU?), the other for my internal network. Next one had a ISA CSU/DSU for a T1. My current one is one of those tiny PCs with no moving parts and 4x1G ethernet ports, so I can have (effectively) distinct networks for WiFi and wired.

I have not (yet) built my own cable modem but I still consider what I have to be a "roll your own router".

My high school teacher said I could do my CS projects in Turbo Pascal rather than have to use the school's CP/M system (UCSD p-code for those who remember). My parents agreed to buy it for me. The convenience realized cannot be described in a /. post.

A few years later, my college CS professor said I could do my CS projects on Turbo C rather than use the school's Lisas. As with Turbo Pascal, the ability to quickly iterate through code corrections without swapping floppies (separate compiler and linker) is a convenience enhancement that is difficult to properly describe.

The link in the first sentence appear to be for a different article, about a different subject.

Yes, I know. It still seems kind of wrong, from a "definition of west" point of view. Compare to West Virginia or Western Australia, which are both west of something with a similar name.

Using the term "west" to describe an Antarctic location seems so... wrong?

That was straight out of the Haaretz article, and I agree that it is (most likely) wrong. I mean, "digital" is correct in a sense... but still wrong. Right?

My company partially moved from Slack to Teams a year ago. By "partially," I mean Teams is horrible and interferes with work and client communication far more than it helps. So we still use Slack, and have an internal channel where we just gripe about Teams.

Bundling Teams to tightly integrate it with your company's workflow? Good luck to you!

I know for the purposes of this discussion, "better" doesn't matter... but I use both at work and Slack is much better. Particularly so if you have channels shared with various customers.
