It's in the article, they let you now. And working on making it better.

UXG definitely does DHCP and DNS.

The biggest real differences between iPhone and whatever ye-olde-good-standalone-digital-camera are sharpening/edge enhancements and flattening of lighting.

If you take a lot of landscapes with detailed textures in high-contrast lighting you'll see the differences pretty quickly.

The iPhone photos will look better at first glance because they have a lot of tricks to deal with lighting that would otherwise give a photographer difficulty. For instance, that shot of the child could easily have a completely blown-out background in slightly different circumstances for a typical use of a digital camera's auto-exposure mode. But it results in a certain look that this article really doesn't show well, in terms of the more fake-looking aspects of it. The gravel in the shot of the child hints at it, and you can start to see it more if you view the image full-size vs the scaled down presentation. The asphalt under the car, too - there's something very harsh and fake about the iPhone texture rendering approach that gets worse the larger you display the image. This started around the iPhone 11, IIRC, with it's ML processing.

Both things can be avoided with Halide's raw mode (more "raw" than Apple's) if you want side by side comparisons on your own device. Though IIRC it doesn't support full-res on the newer phones.

The trick, though, is that if you want images that look better in tough conditions, there's a learning curve for using a standalone camera or to shooting in RAW with Halide. In terms of lighting it's not even "more realistic" right out of the gate, necessarily, because your eye has more dynamic range and your brain has more tricks than most any straight-out-of-camera non-ML-enhanced image.

But if you want images you can print out at 8x10+ you'll benefit from the investment.

(Samsung cameras are even wilder in their over-enhancement of photos.)

I owe a debt of gratitude to Microsoft Publisher. Back in 1997 I was regularly using Microsoft Publisher for my primary school assignments. As soon as I realised that you could use it to create webpages, I was hooked! I was a bit too young at that point to understand coding things by hand, but with Publisher I could dive right in. And I haven't stopped since!

De Minimus rules are the reason why you don’t have declare that fridge magnet and bag of chips you bought from your trip to Beijing. Going to make air travel a mess flying into the US setting de minimus to $0 and travelers have to declare everything.

As a person in that age bracket, I don't feel like my peers and I are lacking in opportunities to participate in drug & alcohol use.

As to why I choose to abstain, I honestly am just not interested in drinking or doing drugs. I don't see any benefit to it socially, since I have more fun with my friends doing things while they are sober, and I don't want to be one of those adults that can't socialize without it. Also, the consequences for getting caught are high.

I ended up with a 3090FE card, decided to build the first tower I’ve built in years. Opted for and 7800x3d, didn’t realize what a dope chip it was. It was just a better price point than intel - I think 2022 or 2023

To reiterate the GPs point, in case anyone didn't get it: DDR4-3200 CL16 is equivalent to DDR5-6000 CL30 or DDR5-6400 CL32 in terms of latency. Divide the frequency by the CAS latency and you get the same number for all of those. It was the same situation going from DDR3 to 4. There's some wiggle room if you run above-spec voltages (and depending on the quality of the chips, etc.) but things have stayed roughly where they are latency-wise, gen-to-gen.
