@film_girl @Stammy was manually doing conversions in photoshop at 11:30pm last night because our (actually quite good!) CMS doesn't recognize HEIC files — PolitiTweet.org

@Stammy the only thing it solved was letting apple continue to sell phones with not enough storage on them — PolitiTweet.org

@NexusBen @journeydan was it? it was definitely not fast charging on a Samsung fast wireless pad (which does 9 or 10W IIRC) for me — PolitiTweet.org

@rcadden sometimes when i’m at home and need to charge something i plug into a power bank just to feel something different — PolitiTweet.org

@greengart @reckless a run by… analysts and reviewers that knew about it ;) — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@rcadden i plug in when in my car to use CarPlay or Android Auto, and then when i’m needing to use a USB battery on the go (Qi USB batteries suck). but other than that, mostly wireless charging and cloud back up, so never to my computer. — PolitiTweet.org

@greengart @reckless i think LeEco shipped more of those to analysts and reviewers than to actual customers — PolitiTweet.org

@rcadden i think Apple sees MagSafe as a new accessory ecosystem, it has cases, docks, chargers, etc that work with it. — PolitiTweet.org

@rcadden this is the first step to getting rid of ports entirely. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@Sethjk @rcadden @reckless @backlon this is one of the bigger hurdles, yes, which is why it may take a couple of years for the port to fully disappear. Could see a MagSafe wireless CarPlay adapter solving it. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@journeydan yeah buttttt… aren’t you just charging at 5W on the Pixel because Google doesn’t support anything faster outside of the Pixel Stand, the MagSafe doesn’t do above 7.5W without the NFC chip, and the 25W Samsung adapter is (probably) doing some kind of silly shenanigans? — PolitiTweet.org

@rcadden also it’s much thinner and smaller than other pads. cons: * cord is too short * doesn’t come with a charging brick * is $39 — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@rcadden yes, but there’s a little more to it. it charges at 15W, which is more than most Qi pads support. it also never misses the charging coil, which is the biggest issue with wireless charging pads. and finally, you can use it while it’s charging, which you can’t do with other pads. — PolitiTweet.org

@thenickguy @wirecutter how long will they last in the wirecutter fire box of doom? — PolitiTweet.org

@Altimax98 it’s about 10 percent larger file sizes, if that’s what you mean — PolitiTweet.org

@RyneHager @ampressman best part of PM is the 90 day trial so you can actually test it properly to see if it works for you. once you’re set up and comfortable with the keeb shortcuts, you’ll never want to go back — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@RyneHager @ampressman it does, the steps take seconds, whereas wading through LR to do its thing takes decades off my life. i’m never culling in LR again. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@RyneHager @ampressman you can then quickly filter down your selects and copy those into a folder very easily all within PM. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@RyneHager @ampressman there’s no issue with LR, it’s just processing RAW files like always. what makes PM so magical is how fast it is at rendering thumbs from RAW files, so you can zip through hundreds of photos in a matter of minutes, flagging keepers and ignoring the rest. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@RyneHager @ampressman here’s my workflow: * copy from SD card to storage drive via PhotoMechanic * cull images down in PhotoMechanic, put selects in a folder * drag that folder into LR, which will “import at current location” * process/export images from LR as normal — PolitiTweet.org
