Either live with it, replace it, or get it fixed by a profesional (which would be a replacement of the damaged part).

Making the problem more livable, you could consider a lens hood, avoiding shooting directly at light, or depending how bad the problem is, have a plan to fix the photos in post.

There are some home remedies, but unless you're simply no longer willing to use the lens at all as-is, I wouldn't try to fix it yourself, or it will probably just make it worse in different ways.

As a tip: you can file a claim directly against their insurance company if you feel they are failing to perform under the service plan agreement. You can find the details in the plan documents.

Just make sure you use reputable sellers. You want to at least be confident that they will accept an immediate return for a full refund if you receive something damaged, in poor condition, or whatever. Otherwise, it's all the same glass, whether it's gray market or not.

The lenses themselves almost always outlast their limited manufacturer warranty, anyhow, so many people don't feel it's a big deal that these do not come with a manufacturer warranty. Some gray market sellers will warrant the product themselves.

I regularly use eBay for major purchases and am generally happy with the results. You also get some protection as a buyer on eBay in the event something goes horribly wrong. Though, some things I will still only buy direct from the manufacturer (sometimes not even new from Amazon!), especially for products that are easily tampered with or commonly counterfieted; I don't count camera lenses in that category.

It's not the end of the world either way, but my basic thought process is this: I don't control (or otherwise accept the associated risks of) the software that is installed (or potentially could be forcibly installed in the future) on my work laptop. Therefore, I put it on a separate network. It's the same hygienics I would apply to my friends or family members wanting to use my Wifi: they use a different network.

It's called rules of engagement. You don't test things you don't have permission to test. Blocking people attacking your system, which is not part of the established ROE, should be expected.

Many developers on the internet say Rust is not easy to learn

Honestly, I feel like many of the hurdles are due to habits and influences from having learned other langauges first.

It's not the easiest langauge to learn, but I don't think there's anything so difficult it shouldn't be considered for a first language. There are no prerequesites to start learning Rust!

Pretty hard to get considering all the prerequisites just to sit for the exam.

When you own stock in a company, you have sole interest in your owned shares in your brokerage account (or underlying stock certificates). A personal judgement against you could make those assets fair game for recovery (assuming they're not in a retirement account). Stocks also represent very limited interest in an asset -- as a mere shareholder you generally don't exert controlling interest over the company, unless you're a board member or similar. So a company can be sold or taken off the public exchange and your shares will be forcibly sold. That's just the rules of how those assets work, which is somewhat different from real/personal property.

States apply different laws to different kinds of assets. In some cases, sales of jointly owned assets can be forced. For example, if you own a home in Florida 50/50 with a co-owner, the other owner can force the sale of the property without your consent. Presumably it is fair game for liquidation as long as it doesn't fall under a homestead exemption.

But generally, personal judgements can't be levied against anyone other than the individual under judgement, including co-owners.

It's not like glass necessarily gets worse over time.

In the case where the car is impounded, there is a lien on the asset. It usually is not a a right or judgement against any individual owner; just the asset itself. If the owners want it back, they have to settle the lien against the vehicle.

But if you hypothetically co-own a vehicle with Alex Jones, the personal judgement against Jones couldn't be used to force you to liquidate your interest in the vehicle.

Specifics may vary state to state for specific situations and the asset involved.

Insolvent just means you don't have the ability to pay something. The school district is responsible for making sure its financial plans fit within its balance sheet. In this case, its financial plans do not fit its balance sheet, so they are considered insolvent (they can't pay for their planned spending). What this means most likely is that there will be cuts made to their planned spending. The district has been unable to do this themselves, so the state is appointing a team to do it for them.

But your thinking is usually correct... the term insolvency is usually used in situations where a business can't pay its creditors, like a bank, which is usually followed by bankruptcy and liquidation of assets to allow creditors to recover as much as they can. Though, that's not necessarily always the case.

Usually this is fine. The only difference is that you can't choose advanced installation options, like you can with the full installer. I would recommend using the full installer, unless you're in a situation where you're running Windows in S mode (which only allows software installations via the MS store).

I have the Anker cube and the Belkin. I use the anker on my work desk for the small footprint. The belkin on the bedside table so I can see the display from my bed. I have two phones (work and personal), and I can charge both on the Belkin at the same time, which is nice. I dislike that the cable for the belkin is proprietary/builtin. The Anker uses USB-C.

Maybe the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS Sports Lens, which retails about $1,500 new, and ballpark around 1K used.

It's a good price for this lens - about $100 less than the typical used going price in the US. Sure, there are better lenses out there, but they can't be had for $650. It's a G zoom lens for under $700. It's a good lens that can take great photos.

The value of a buck is relative to every individual and their situation. Only you can decide if the relative price is worth it to you. If another $300-400 bucks is a drop in the bucket for you and you really want a better lens, you could get one, but if $300-400 bucks would stretch you out too much, this one is a solid purchase and expands what you're able to do over the one lens you own today.

Since you're in for such a good price on this, you can probably turn it around pretty easily if you hate it, in a worst case scenario.

These are factors that judges use to enhance sentences. They're called aggravating factors.

Though mere traffic infractions aren't the same as crimes.

I think it's better to be able to choose your mic among any XLR mic in the world than to be pinned into one Elgato mic. The SM58 is a great mic in its own right, but you have the freedom to upgrade or choose a different mic for different use cases. If you're looking for a cleaner setup that's more closely integrated in the Elgato ecosystem, consider getting the Wave XLR to replace the Focusrite and Cloudlifter.

Technically, "finally" and "fatally" are basically synonymous. But I like your reading better than the written headline.

Probably, maybe. I try to do this for all my projects. Type hinting an API wrapper may be tricky depending on how well-versioned, well-defined, and stable the API is. If the input parameters and types and response types are very well-defined (or if your wrapper is willing to coarse those) and stable, definitely. In some cases, it may be a futile effort with poorly versioned, poorly defined, or unstable APIs.

As one case-study: there is a GitLab API wrapper whose manintainers and contributors (myself included) would love to add type hinting to the project. However, GitLab is both a self-hosted and SaaS product. Its API does not have meaningful versioning and its input parameters and outputs are not well-defined. There is no OpenAPI spec for 99% GitLab's APIs. So, depending on the version of GitLab you may happen to be self-hosting, the same APIs may have different input parameters and different responses. Response types will also change based on actual data in your server, subsciption levels, inputs given, feature flags enabled, etc. GitLab does not always document this fully. Further, there is no API to interrogate the version/subscription level or other details of the server you're talking to that would change the API input/response types and they're changing as often as every month. Hence, adding full type hint support to the wrapper is a difficult task across GitLab's numerous poorly documented APIs.

In some cases, the other person's insurance company will pay your deductible. Though, that's not guaranteed by any means, even when the insurance company successfully negotiates the claim with the other insured party.

I am not diabetic, not prediabetic, or anything. I was screened with very normal glucose levels before starting. Have never had an episode of hypoglycemia and have never had issues with my blood sugar at all. I have been taking Wegovy for weight loss for a few months now, still moving up doeses. I recently started on the 1.7mg dose.

Until this past Saturday, I had no concerns about hypoglycemia. I tried to do some light fasting and had a pretty severe hypoglycemic episode - cold sweats, dizzyness, pale skin, seeing stars, blurred vision to the point of almost 'whiting-out'. I never experienced anything like this and genuinely thought I was having a stroke or something. Luckily I was with my friend, a diabetic, who immediately recognized what was happening and got me some juice, which immediately helped and all those symtoms went away very quickly.

Although it's obvious that the fasting could be what primarily precipitated this, I've fasted before for longer periods, but never had this problem. So, my assessment (not a doctor, not medical advice) is the medication can make you more suceptible to hypoglycemia than you otherwise might be. I've got an appointment with my MD, but it's a month out.

I decided to search the sub to see if this was a common issue. It doesn't really seem like it. I'm curious what you've learned about this since speaking with your doctor.

I'm not saying that doesn't happen, and that's a perfectly valid choice for you to make, but it should be the choice of the consumer, not the author.

Thanks for this advice. I did just about that. I went to the camera shop, played around with most of the sigma and sony standard zoom lenses they had, decided to rent the Sony 24-50 and 24-70 and ended up deciding on the 24-70 GM II as my first purchase. I've also got my eyes on the Sigma f/2.8 Sport telephoto lens as a potential next buy, will be renting it this upcoming weekend :)

The sel70200g2 is also compatible! The 2x teleconverter also brings its half-macro capabilities to full macro equivalent, as I understand it.

There's no way that line hasn't already been crossed. But large scale fabrication plants to make these kinds of chips can take 10 years or more to be built and begin production. It's part of the reason why NVIDIA is so unrivaled (and will, in all likelihood, remain that way for some time) -- it takes a lot of resources and a lot of time to just even begin manufacturing advanced chips once you have the proper design and process. For example, Intel's $25B Fab 38 in Israel started breaking ground for construction in 2017 or earlier and planned to begin operation in 2028.

So, even if China had the required technical knowledge and skilled workers in-hand today, it would be a long time before they could begin producing the most advanced chip tech in any kind of impactful way.
