New comment by re9 in "Ask HN: Why do cameras stop recording after 30 minutes?"

re9 — Fri, 03 Feb 2023 12:53:42 +0000

Some still cameras with video features also do actually lack in heat dissipation department and may really shut down because they overheat. Sometimes earlier than said 30 minute limit kicks in.

And say you use slow memory card in your otherwise capable camera... I have one here, which is allowing me to capture, depending on subject, 4-15 seconds of video. It just cant write stuff onto memory card fast enough and fills its memory buffer and then its done. With proper fast flash card, same camera runs up to 29:59 and with certain tweaks, until flash card is full.

It seems some people just cant live without censorship being applied everywhere around them. If government isnt doing it or by proxy - social media sites, then some users themselves find they need to replace that hole in their life. How can ones day be complete, if nobody hasnt been canceled or shut down or deleted. So amaze. Wow. I am proud of you, Big Boss.

User or mod, whats the difference? User that has direct or indirect tool at his hands to delete other ones posts - this is very much censor. Argue againt something, if you like. But trying hard to shut someones mouth, that is bit much, to say the least...

Why all these duplicate submissions at HN?

Seems to be happening way often. Is it hard to point out duplicate submission during submission so these just would not happen?

Same here, at times. Login page took good 3 sec to show, login submit about the same. This page itself though, arrived promptly. Parts of hn are struggling with something.
