Reflections on Soviet Amateur Photography

news.ycombinator.com Megan Cummins 2025-11-22 12:29:19

The appearance of strangers within family photo albums was part of how a Soviet imagined and imaged community was constructed and sustained. “Just as any advanced comrade must have a watch, he shall also possess mastery of a photo camera.” So declared Anatoly Lunacharsky in 1926, in his role as the Soviet Union’s Commissar of Enlightenment. This programmatic statement was included in the very first issue of the photography journal Sovetskoe Foto, published that same year. In fact, such amateur

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-25 18:55:05

While that isn’t completely off the table, there’s an increasingly likely possibility of it launching in early 2027 instead. In this weekend’s Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman mentioned an interesting detail about the upcoming MacBook Pro overhaul.

Game over: Chrome OS pulls the plug on Steam gaming

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Steam on Chrome OS support began as a beta test in early 2022. After graduating to a beta later that year, progress slowed down. Now users are being informed that the beta is slated to end as 2026 gets started. Choosing a Chromebook over a standard PC laptop can make sense for a lot of good reasons, from wanting to take advantage of the platform’s track record of security, to just hoping to save some money on affordable hardware.

Next Year’s MacBook Pro Refresh Could Fix the Screen’s Ugliest Feature

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-11-29 22:10:55

Ever since Apple released its iPhone 14 Pro in 2022, Apple has had the answer to the absolute worst element of today’s MacBook displays. And still, the dreaded “notch” remained. The notch that hangs just below the top screen bezel, encompassing the webcam cutout, is like a stalactite hanging precariously above the main screen. The next MacBook Pro refresh could finally see Apple break out its chisel to remove the notch as it gears up for its most important laptop refresh of the last half-decade.
