  I just pushed an update for my Android app α-Remote to allow focus bracketing on Sony Cameras with Bluetooth but without a native focus bracketing feature. α-Remote is free and open source. Just search for "alpharemote" on F-Droid or Google Play.

  It finally happened. Had to get out the soldering iron on my cousin's wedding. My family will not let me hear the end of it.

  Tried to figure out if I can drop off a DHL Express International package at a DHL Packstation and got: ▪ An AI answer that is as long as it is wrong ▪ Half a page worth of ads for other parcel services ▪ Links to totally unrelated pages within dhl.com And finally the same kind of correct answer you would have found in the 90s: An extremely accurate and extremely condescending forum post, explaining why it is idiotic to expect a DHL Packstation to accept a DHL Express International package.

  Few days after we went on vacation, I got a low disk space warning from my NAS. Found an unexpected explanation after my return: Turns out a spider set up a net in front of the motion triggered camera to record a stream almost 24/7.

  For users of my α-remote app: I have just released a new beta version on the Play Store to test some new features. - Combine bulb and intervalometer function - Show remaining exposures for intervalometer - Show video recording duration in the app - Allow setting a duration for the trigger-on-focus trigger (relevant for bracketing shots) - Several fixes and improvements If you want to test it, you will find a button to join the public beta test on the app's Play Store page.

  Man, I love USB-C. Just realized that I can show our vacation photos to my mother in law just by plugging a cheap portable screen directly into my phone with a single cable. The phone powers the screen.

  Is there any non-shady explanation why my Sungrow solar inverter suddenly started to randomize its MAC address?

  Just had a scintigraphy and am so sad it had to be on a Friday: I would have loved to run around the institute, urge colleagues to try a few detectors on me and insist to be called Radioactive Man.
