Not sure about the sourness thing, but a tomato pasta sauce without meat can probably get away with it a few hours longer, but I’d probably still just pop it into the fridge when it got cool enough anyway.

Chili with meat in, I’d be more careful of.

I believe focal length & aperture EXIF metadata do factor into modern lens correction profiles

It’s worth highlighting that the profiles are typically based on the combination of a lens and a body, one lens used on two different camera bodies would result in two different profiles being used

The danger zone for food is between about 20 to 45 degrees Celsius. You can let hot food cool for an hour or so, but you’ve gotta get it into the fridge before it spends much time in that zone.

Obviously the amount of time this is a risk varies wildly by food, and some things are actually salty, acidic or fatty enough to limit a lot of bacterial growth for a surprising amount of time. But it’s just more sensible to not roll the dice on food safely

Yeah but if they did that, farmers would have to spend an extra couple of cents of their government subsidies per chicken and then the health insurance industry would make a load less money from exploiting people hospitalised with entirely avoidable illnesses…!

Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if health insurance lobbying is part of the reason it’s this way

This is super interesting, and a project I’m gonna keep an eye on. Not least of all because I’ve got a good selection of E-mount lenses.

One thing that’s gonna be a struggle is all the specific lens corrections in photo software obviously will not be present for this. I wonder if the body behaves optically similarly enough to an existing Sony camera to be able to reuse those profiles.

They’re able to shoot faster and are more compact than equivalent DSLR cameras. They also should be less prone to failure over time due to fewer moving parts

Goodbye

I mean that’s why the owner set it up in the first place

8GB was already too low for what is positioned as a premium machine. RAM is a pretty cheap part of the whole computer, so it’s completely unnecessarily small. I’m also a software engineer and the 16GB in my work MBP M1 is not even enough at times.

The big thing that’s caused Apple to stop completely fleecing the people buying the low end option: AI. If you or Apple want to run local models on a machine with only 8GB of RAM, you probably won’t have much left over for anything else.

I know, I deliberately said England here to emphasize they would be a good authority on the English language
