Why the iPhone is my favorite video camera for B-roll footage

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-21 19:28:55

While I am almost certainly the least-prolific videographer on the planet, I am finally starting a long-planned series of interviews on my fledgling YouTube channel. The first of these went live this week, and I’m aiming for roughly one a month from now on. I use a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K rig as my primary video camera, but my iPhones have long been my camera of choice for B-roll footage … Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K For most of my life, I’ve been a Nikon guy when it comes t

Linking to text fragments with a bookmarklet One of my favourite features added to web browsers in the last few years is text fragments. Text fragments allow you to link directly to specific text on a web page, and some browsers will highlight the linked text – for example, by scrolling to it, or adding a coloured highlight. This is useful if I’m linking to a long page that doesn’t have linkable headings – I want it to be easy for readers to find the part of the page I was looking for. Here’s

Neil Druckmann Has High Hopes for ‘The Last of Us’ Season 3

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-04 11:15:53

It was a shock to hear that Neil Druckmann, creator of The Last of Us and co-creator of the TV adaptation, was leaving the show after its second season. Many wondered if there was any deeper reason behind the exit, but as Druckmann has since explained, he had been stretching himself so thin over the past few years, he felt it was time to get back strictly to video games. Plus, he was leaving the show in the very good hands of Craig Mazin. The Last of Us would be okay. In a new interview, Druckm

In July 2021, a sudden drop in Tor usage in Turkmenistan called our attention.

Profiling without Source code – how I diagnosed Trackmania stuttering A very common side effect of working as a programmer is the constant frustration of not having source code access to all the software you use. Bugs, problems or missing features in your own work can be frustrating enough — you know you’ll have to address all those issues at some point. But it’s even worse when you experience an issue and don’t have the option to solve it. A recent example of this for me was playing the game

A San Francisco tech CEO has spent the past several years attempting to remove unflattering information about himself from Google's search index, and the nonprofit Freedom of the Press Foundation says he's still at it. Most recently, an unknown bad actor used a bug in one of Google's search tools to scrub the offending articles. The saga began in 2023

The underground cathedral protecting Tokyo from floods (2018)

When one of these rivers overflows, the water falls to one of five enormous 70-meter tall cylindrical tanks spread across the Channel’s length. Each of these tanks is big enough to accommodate a space shuttle or the Statue of Liberty and they are interconnected through a 6.3km long network of underground tunnels. As the water approaches the Edo River, the ‘floodwater cathedral’ Tortajada visited reduces its flow, so the pumps can push it to the river.

I really wanted to love season two of HBO’s The Last of Us. For the most part, I did — but it was also impossible to ignore the online masses saying that showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann had lost the thread in season two. Some of that comes from creative choices the pair made in adapting the first half of the PlayStation game The Last of Us Part II to TV; it’s a story with a sprawling plot that asks a lot of the player and, as it turns out, even more of a passive audience.
