I would send them an email. Depending on which kit you're talking about they could probably figure something out or give you an ETA.

There are some Linux users with iPhones, perhaps that's what they meant?
That's a fantastic shot! I'm guessing you're on a higher resolution body? I'm still on 24 MP sensors and heavy crops are... fine if the focus is great but you can't really make up for fine details that weren't there to begin with.
I would have said "s-5 electronics", but it looks like the business closed :(
If you can dig up one of their kits they were pretty solid.
I also work in automotive. Most of these cuts are usually a "your org must meet target" type thing. How each org does that is... usually not well coordinated or consistent. People are absolutely spared because they're likeble, easy to get along with, and reliable even if they're not an all-star. Nepotism, as well as face time with leaders, can often play a role.
I'm starting to reach middle aged fart territory. No one really knows what they're doing and we're all just making it up as we go along. Don't take things too seriously, be curious, ask questions, and try to be helpful. At some point you'll probably find other people starting to ask you questions. If you find yourself here, you're on the right track. Eventually, more people will begin to seek you out for information, advice, etc.
I feel this in my bones. Even before the recent round of restructuring we've had a significant about of turnover. Our infrastructure is a massive rube golberg machine with multiple houses of cards built on top of it. Institutional knowledge was never written down and it has been leaving the company at an accelerating rate over the past 5 years. Tons of "new blood" making lots of assumptions on how things work is resulting in... humorous end results.
I am a product manager that loves coming up with detailed specs. How else will I actually get what I want? If you care about some specific behavior/outcome you must specify it. This logic is lost on my leadership.
Agree! OP was probably pretty close to the bird to get this amount of detail/resolution.
100%! Despite their reputation for being fickle, I found phalaenopsis (phalaenopsii? phalaenopsises?) to be pretty hardy.
Apple is almost the tale of two companies.
From the software usability perspective, they have the "it just works" reputation and that might be true if you're doing really basic stuff. I've found both windows and Linux to be much more user friendly if you want to do mildly advanced things.
Their hardware is generally pretty solid but comes at a premium, especially once you start talking about increasing RAM/SSD capacity. I have both a MacBook pro M3 pro and a Snapdragon X Elite Lenovo Yoga slim 7x. The 7x can give great battery life, but is much more inconsistent in doing so. On the other hand, the 7x has an amszing 3k OLED screen, has a removable m3 SSD, and you can upgrade to 32 GB of RAM for around $100.
What I find interesting is that a large swath of developers have macs. I get it for some use cases (ARM emulation on ARM vs doing it on x86), but it seems like it's a bit of a status symbol for others.
They look happy, so yay!
Raspberries are escaping their raised bed after two years :( I really don't want them to spread beyond it. what to do? Bury a tarp under the mulch? Dig a trench around the bed? Roundup?
One more picture below.
Behold, rebar clamps to give my veggies a nice climbing structure.
They're 3 total parts and are held together heat sets and bolts.
The joys of parts with not friendly printing geometry. There's another cylindrical recess running at 90 degrees to the one that's visible in this photo.
Apologies for the very obvious layer lines. Harsh direct overhead lighting makes them a lot more obvious. The prints are much better in person, I promise.
Edit: Finished part showing the second cylindrical recess. They're both dimensionally important, which is why the parts weren't printed flat.
This is one of those shots.
I live near an office park with a pretty reflective building. I've been thinking about trying to get a sunset photo reflecting off the building for a while now, but I have younger kids and sunsets and bedtimes coincide with each other for a good portion of the year. One morning I noticed that sunrises were fairly colorful, but instead of getting a reflection standing in a field I was now in a parking lot.
Reasons why I'm not a fan of this shot:
- parking lot! I could crop it out, but then there would be nothing in the foreground and I'm not sure I would be a fan
- I shot this with my 35mm, which means that I was fairly close to the building and looking up. This means less sunrise in the reflection (oh, you mean that's what the color in the bottom right is?). I should have probably used the long end of my telephoto, but I didn't have it with me and also didn't have much time
- The joys of architectural photography without a tilt shift lens
- I should have squared up to the building a bit better so at least one line was vertical
Live and learn. I'll try again this summer when the sun goes down after the kids are asleep and I have more time.

I'm rocking an A9ii and when I attempt birds I'm using Tamron's 150-500, which is fairly sharp.
I think my problem with bird photography is wanting to take photos of smaller birds at decent distances and physics is simply getting in the way. For example, I was taking photos of a house finch a few weeks ago when I was probably 60 feet away. Even at 500mm, the finch still didn't fill much of the frame. I'll be posting the photo soon, but I would be amazed if it's anywhere near this good after a big crop.
