      And I sorta, kinda, definitely fell into the hype cycle and purchased a FX5.
      
      My FX3 will finally leave the studio and be used more on the go for all sorts of filming action.

      I think a huge value add here would be to have these pages periodically query for new info and create new versions of the pages, along with a notification (maybe on Bluesky or over email for visibility). A manual refresh button would be a good start!

      I watch more and more props come into components and ask “so why are we doing this, shouldn’t we consider refactor it” and then they say “it is out of scope” and I’m like here’s another HOC that has too much logic and effects 😂😭

      The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted.
      
      An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.
