I'm stunned that Renan Ozturk pulled off photographing Everest by drone at 23,000 ft. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/2019/06/mount-everest-aerial-north-side-drone-photography/ It's an incredible achievement considering the odds …

I think I need to read Midnight in Chernobyl then watch the miniseries again. They filmed the plant scenes at the Ignalina plant in Lithuania, which is the sister plant to Chernobyl. It's interesting that it wasn't fully shutdown until 2009, and …

Speaking of networks, this reminds me of the biggest flaw with NAS's -- IO on gigabit ethernet is sub-par. IO on internal hard disks or even external USB drives can be well above 1000 mbps read / write. A 10 gigabit ethernet home network is on my …

Yeah, I found this miniseries enlightening because it focused heavily on the Soviet agenda and propaganda surrounding both what led up to the accident and the aftermath. I thought I knew a lot about Chernobyl, but I knew nothing about this. The …

I think HBO's 5-part miniseries "Chernobyl" is an absolute masterpiece. I found every second of all five episodes completely riveting. The series is historical storytelling at its finest, recounting the 1986 nuclear meltdown, with the finest cast …

> Mac Pro is not a consumer device. Yes, this is clearly not a consumer device. This is mainly a workhorse employers are going to purchase for specific employees in software, film, and music. The promise of being able to edit three streams of 8K …

New MacPro is here. OMG my wallet 😭. Holding my breath for the price. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. @cvdavis it's here. You've been waiting too. 1.5 TB of RAM?!?! Mind blown.

The WWDC 2019 Keynote live stream is going now. What are your favorite parts of the keynote? So far, I think iOS 13 dark mode is a neat improvement that will be incredibly useful. I've wanted this for years. On OLED screens, this will be …

Nice pick! The Z6's built-in sensor-shift stabilization looks pretty cool, and if I shot Nikon, the Z6 would be my pick for this reason as I too shot a lot of video. And that extra 120 focus points on the Z6 are a big win. Buy a ton of batteries! …

Agreed -- congestion both on LTE/5Ge and WiFi in my neighborhood has gotten pretty bad that I can't achieve anywhere the speeds I'm paying for, so I've hardwired everything that can be with Cat6A to my fiber connection.

Some more photos... Here's Zeno, stoked to be reading the new ORG guidebook. It has all the intel needed to pick great climbs for everyone with every skill …

Unfortunately, she didn't finish a route that day. The next day 4 more friends arrived. All of them beginner climbers. So we went to this crag called La Escuela, which was developed for beginning climbers. The routes were slabby and far from …

My sister is newer to climbing and had not led a climb outdoors before this trip. Here she is on her first lead, a 5.8 …

Alex is quite the climber. Here he is calmly sending a 35-meter finger crack that is 10 degrees overhung. https://photos.smugmug.com/Family-and-Friends/East-Side-Memorial-Day-2019/n-75sJxX/i-2xQJpmt/0/a5db98f1/X3/i-2xQJpmt-X3.jpg I climbed this …

The weather was terrible. In the mountains the wind was blowing over 100 MPH at ridges, and it was dumping snow. Rather than suffer, we stuck to climbing and camping in the Owens Valley. Here's a storm rolling …

Over the Memorial Day weekend, a group of friends and I went climbing in the Bishop and Mammoth area on the east side of the Sierra Nevadas. It was a blast. This is the opposite side of the mountains from Yosemite, and for me, it was a stark …

I'm in the market for a truck too, and I'd prefer it to be eco-friendly. But sadly I don't think I'll be purchasing an EV because I prefer to buy a couple of years used and I project my Subaru dying on me in the next couple years. So I don't think …

I like 😇. What about adding another non-face non-hand gesture reaction along side these: 💪🏅🎂🍻🎯🔥🚀💥🌈💰📷?

Thank you for your feedback. This conversation is a response to user feedback, and I'm glad you brought this up. Various Cake users have told us they find 👌 and 🙄 offensive. As for 👌, the meaning isn't discrete, and misinterpreting the meaning has …

I hear you. With the number of reaction types we have now, it's impossible to be 100% politically correct. Many of our current reactions can be used in offensive ways at times. But for the eye roll, more often than not, I interpret it as …

We’re looking to remove 👌 and 🙄 in the post reaction picker because they can be interpreted as offensive. Cake community, what are some emoji’s you’d like to see in the picker?

Like @Chris, I'm in Silicon Valley. I got lucky and live by the correct telephone pole 🤪

Being from the West, places like this are the most elusive and frightening in my mind. Seeing the beauty and culture of the area is remarkable. Thanks for sharing. Your photojournalism is truly incredible.

Exciting news that there is more word that Tesla's will be fully autonomous soon! > Is the stock ready to skyrocket? I think no, because I think investors have already priced the stock assuming the cars are mostly Level 4 ready. The online …

@Victoria, amazing adventure you had there! It makes me want to go back to Iceland. I went to work on this film about ice climbers tackling ice caves and moulins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79s5BD0301o I spent all my time on or in the …
