@BaldwinMatthew_ 'Bout time they offered options to the overpriced Thalys/Eurostar (having scrapped that €29 train that used to exist years ago...)

It’s finally here ! the classic train from Brussels to Paris, prices starting at 10 euros and you can take your bike… this, my friends, is progress ! and like in the old days, you’ll have time to eat, read and sleep … 🚊+ 🚲 =😍

@photojack Good to see, and I know Rode's audio quality.... but without a jack to plug in a lavalier and 32-bit float, I don't see why I'd replace the ones I currently use. Hopefully series 2, one day...

Rode goes tiny with the Rode Wireless Micro for smartphones diyphotography.net/rode-goes-tiny…

@buffys (In Monty Python voice)... apart from the hairdryer, the plane, the camera phone, margarine, denim, photography, cinema, taxis, dental fillings, the V8 engine, the modern parachute, camouflage and the bikini... what have the French given us?

name one thing this country gave to the world

@RATPgroup @ClientsRATP @Ligne9_RATP Hello, your agent at the counter in the Oberkampf metro today is extremely rude, telling us (the JO2024 public) to 'casse-toi' when we politely asked about a problem with the Transport Public app. Refused to apologise. Is that normal?

@MarcSettle I have a bad feeling about this

Oh good. The company which bought FilmicPro and then *changed* it a lot (and not always in a good way - after previously buying the video editing app Splice and doing the same with that) has now bought WeTransfer. 🫤 techcrunch.com/2024/07/31/ben…

UK PM not noticing the rain: just like at home in summer, innit?

@MarcSettle Is it possible to date a time-travelling dog?

@marcburleigh that dates you - and me

The irony that this….beast has been put together by SmallRig is overwhelming .

@pizzapepe The contiguous United States is 8 million sq km. Australia is 7.7 million sq km. So: both very large territorially. Lots to see in both. Yet you'll find an Australian in lower Moldova, at the start of a 2-year trip to 10 different countries and cultures.

British man gives his explanation on why Americans do not travel to other countries. Very interesting take. Very true in my opinion.

This could start a fictional trend. What else? Maybe Sunak in a series about a trainee astronaut for SpaceX? Australia's Scott Morrison reinvented as a relationship coach in Thailand? Obama becoming a F1 team chief? Jean-Claude Juncker develops super powers to fight evil?

Outgoing PM Sunak apologises to "unremarkable" Britain, which he still calls the best country on the planet

Seeing a lot of arguments today that the UK's "winner-takes-all" voting system needs to be revised

@FR_Consulaire Enfin... Après 30 tentatives en 55 minutes, a voté. Serveurs saturés (car pas assez préparés) ? 🤷 Rendez-vous au 2ème tour dans 1 semaine - en espérant qu'ils résolvent leur problème technique.

@FR_Consulaire Echec des serveurs ? Cyberattaque ? Le site ne fonctionne pas (Chrome invalide comme browser, malgré 57% du marché, Safari et Firefox ne peuvent établir une connexion)...

🗳️ #Législatives2024 l Vote par internet 📢 Le portail de vote est ouvert ❗ Vous avez perdu votre identifiant ou votre mot de passe ? Vous ne l'avez pas reçu ? Rien n'est perdu ! Accédez au portail de vote et récupérez vos coordonnées. 👉 swll.to/FVSaVu

@FR_Consulaire Au moins 15 tentatives pour pouvoir choisir un candidat, confirmer, recevoir un code de confirmation... puis bloqué, pas d'étape suivante (récépissé)... impossible de reconnecter. Donc a voté ? N'a pas voté ?

@MarcSettle Overall looks good. Coupla things: Only 1 form of ProRes Log (unlike Blackmagic Cam, which also has H265 log) Mistranslation in French version of app: "Log" is given as "Historique" (!) - not the right translation of logarithmic (Earphone Monitoring is poss with Hohem Mic-01!)

And now the bad/less good. No 50fps. No audio monitoring while recording (the level meter helps but it won’t show if there’s a buzz or interference) You can’t select which microphone to use when recording - it’s always the mic associated with the lens

A few quick thoughts about FCC, Apple’s new video camera app. It’s good, but not great. The good: Focus peaking (green lines to show what’s in focus) Zebra Stripes (red lines to show over exposed areas - but no lines to show under-exposed parts)

Rising public alarm at Big Tech plundering user copyright to train its AI, without payment and largely without consent. Meta defending its move: about.fb.com/news/2024/06/b… Adobe too: blog.adobe.com/en/publish/202… Instagram users running away to rival Cara: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Given I’m on a cruise to Norway, I’m a little concerned about the wrong turn we seem to have taken.
