  • I still use a 16 gb one for my DSLR. When I bought it about 7 years ago, I opted to get an older entry level canon which was basically better specced than the current (at the time) entry level model and far cheaper. The new model did have wifi though so I got one of these. Works pretty well. And other apps support them not only their included one (PhotoSync on iOS comes to mind). They are slow AF but get the job done.












  • It’s not about losing face. It is the fact that seishain, or permanent employees are very hard to fire. The company needs to keep a record of the employee’s failures.

    In addition, the company needs to implement and execute improvement plans. The results of those need to be reviewed. The next plan has to be implemented. And so on.

    Only when they fail to show improvement a certain number of times (I don’t know exactly) can they be legally fired. You can’t just fire someone like in the U.S. style of at will employment. That would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    So it is easier and cheaper to “persuade” the employee to resign.

    However, this terrible behavior is considered to be power harassment, and all large companies now have ethics hotlines. Also, companies have to provide annual trainings on issues like this. So, I hope this practice is decreasing.


  • Thanks for the heads up. I rarely have a need for photoshop these days, but I grabbed the iPad only version of Affinity Photo just in case as it was so cheap in my region.

    I’m sure it’ll get some use. Once or twice a year I try using a combination of smartphone apps to do some editing as I can’t be bothered dusting off my old slow laptop. So this will be cool. And it still runs on older hardware. iOS 15 is still supported!
