> If they had actually decided to re-engine MD-80s I think they could have operated practically forever.
They did, and then called it the Boeing 717.

I assumed htc went the way of blackberry about 10 years ago. My htc smartphone was something else back in the day.

>I agree. But the problem is that most vintage glass is stupid heavy. The EF 85mm 1.2L which is around 700 used is like 2.5 lbs so it is a terrible carry around/travel lens.
The EF 85/1.2 is neither vintage nor a typical example of the size and weight of vintage optics.

>If you need a hybrid with great video specs for cheap Canon may not be the company for you (Fuji is who I’d recommend)
The R7 and especially the R10, are not expensive.

If they sell this for $300-350, I'm sold.

Sure as fuck is to me.
I love the screen on this thing and unfold it every day.

I have the 3 and I like it. When it was announced and they had a display at best buy I went to check it out and was like "ya I want this" so I ordered it. I wanted the original or 2 but the large screen wasn't as great because of the stupid black bar.
For me there was no reason to upgrade, not a big enough change to warrant it. Maybe the 5 will be much much better.

That is definitely a problem, but I also wouldn't consider it the problem. The fact is there are a lot of problems with corporations, not one more important than the other. But, it comes to talking about social media giants in particular, I would like to point out, isn't a little absurd that we allow them to literally control how information spreads over the web? They essentially have an oligopoly over how we communicate over the web.

HTC does not manufacture the Valve Index. That is manufactured by Valve themselves.

What’s the budget and what do you shoot? You could just get the 5D mkIII like I did. Then the lens to start would be the real expense

I feel like VR is going to advance to amazing levels or fall off a cliff.

IT nerd here but never got in to VR, I thought HTC was the overpriced Cadillac of VR equipment?

Missed the opportunity to get a reverb g2 on black Friday, hope this one is good enough and not that expensive for Sim racing.

I’m excited about anything that is a competitor to Meta.

Literally the best. I sold phones at around that time and they were waaayyyy ahead of the game.

Poor HTC. I loved my HTC One back in 2015. Seems they've gone downhill since then

The M8 was perfect in every way. I never had any overheating problem, probably because I didn't play games on it. But every single thing about it was exactly what I wanted. I bought an M9 plus and it was worse in every single way. It's like they found out about Market Segmentation and then destroyed their own product.

The same reason why the Steam deck doesn’t compete with the Switch is why valve isn’t competing with meta. Two products with the same hardware ideals but vastly different markets

They did, the 747-8i had new, more efficient engines and new, more efficient wings. It wasn't enough to save the program and compete with the large twin engine planes.
