The tv presentation of Azkaban makes me realize why I didn't like it - you have to sit through 25 minutes of them replaying the same time sequence. -- (edited) - Max Jul 14, 13:57 8
- No, there were zero changes. -- nm - Ender Jul 14, 14:28
- I think I saw the original one time on TV and said never again with TV edits. -- nm - budice Jul 14, 14:04

Any of you photographers using Magic Lantern utility on your DSLR? -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 13:31 10
- No. What’s it for? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 13:33 9
  - It allows you to edit your camera's firmware. I am learning it now. - Bacon Jul 14, 13:41 8
    - I remember doing something with a firmware update on a little Canon p&s that let me take high speed shots with it - Reagen Jul 14, 14:56
    - Is the 12 minute thing a corporate protection limit, or a limit to keep the sensor from overheating? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 13:56 6
      - So I have heard 2 possible reasons but this is the one that makes the most sense. - Bacon Jul 14, 14:00 5
        
        Ah. - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:03 4
        
        Oh yeah. Now I knew that happened on older equipment, but wasn't sure if that still happens. That said I won't take my chances that it still might. -- nm* - Bacon Jul 14, 14:06 3
        
        I’d expect modern ones to have a temp sensor ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 14:09 2
        
        Are you a Canon or Nikon guy? -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 14:11 1
        
        Canon -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 15:12
That moment when you buy a Game of Thrones poster to try and cleverly advertise flu shots at work. -- nm - Tim Jul 14, 13:16
So this might be fun to play with and see what’s broken. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 14, 13:10 2

I'm sure there's a good reason for this, but I'm annoyed the YouTube app doesn't have a "resume watching" feature when you open it - con_carne Jul 14, 11:43 3
- Actually YouTube prefers if videos are just over 10 minutes long. -- nm - Qale Jul 14, 12:17 1
  - I'm sure YouTube prefers a lot of things. I meant Youtubers then -- nm - con_carne Jul 14, 12:54
- The long national nightmare is over. Tapping on "Library" seems to show Recents and get off my lawn -- nm - con_carne Jul 14, 11:46

- 500 Spawn Points for no Drake -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 14, 10:24 2
  - Fun Fact: Drake appeared earlier in the year for two weeks, both at #5 with God’s Plan. -- nm - Qale Jul 14, 10:31 1
    - And that makes sense. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 14, 10:45

Heh, some pilots were vaping on an Air China flight and they hit the wrong button and dropped 20K feet. - Beryllium Jul 14, 00:50 7
- I don't like the huge clouds either. I vape but I don't use the setup that gives you those massive clouds. It's annoying to be behind someone - Krusty Jul 14, 05:36 3
  - first couple times behind someone in cars, I wondered if their engine blew, did they catch on fire, that's a LOT of vapor -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 10:41 1
    - Yeah, sometimes it's just ridiculous and I've also thought something was on fire when it was just a couple of vapers. It went from a smoking - Krusty Jul 14, 11:06
  - "I'm doing the world a favour! *PUFFFFFFFFFFF*" -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 06:22

  - On the plus side, I don't think I've ever been close enough to notice if the clouds have a smell or not. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 01:39 1
    - They do. Nicotine vape clouds usually smell sweet while weed vapes smell like weed but much lighter in scent than if it was burning -- nm - Krusty Jul 14, 05:33
