I was doing a shoot the other day, and was taking my flash off the camera when a downpour started ran to my car and it fell into a puddle on the way :(.

Aw man that's terrible!

Have you ever shot in the rain? Pro gear's pretty damn solid. I've shot soccer games in the rain with my D90+70-200 with no problems. If you don't have the flash attached to the hotshoe on top of the camera and it's powered down, it can handle quite a bit (of "california rain") before there's problems. So if you're in that situation again, you probably don't need to rush so much. Unless it's pouring hardcore, which is rare where I'm from.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By thartist · Posted

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
    • Prime Early Deal: Amazon Echo Dot Max drops to its lowest price ever

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Prime Early Deal: Amazon Echo Dot Max drops to its lowest price ever by Fiza Ali While Prime Day 2026 is officially kicking off next week, Amazon has started offering Prime Early Deals already. Particularly, the newest model of Amazon Echo Dot Max, unveiled in September 2025, is now selling at its lowest price yet with a 35% discount on its original MSRP. The device features a two-way mono speaker system comprising a 0.8-inch tweeter and a 2.5-inch woofer that should deliver sound across a claimed frequency range of 53Hz to 16kHz. It offers Wi-Fi 6E support (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) alongside Bluetooth 5.3 with Low Energy, including A2DP for audio playback and AVRCP for device control. The device also operates as a smart home hub, with built-in support for Zigbee, Matter, and Thread Border Router functionality. Furthermore, Amazon Sidewalk is included to help extend connectivity beyond standard Wi-Fi range by leveraging shared network infrastructure. Under the hood, it is powered by the AZ3 processor with an integrated AI accelerator. It also features Omnisense technology, enabling ambient intelligence capabilities such as presence detection, temperature monitoring, and tap gesture control. There are also additional built-in sensors that include ambient light, temperature, and an accelerometer. When paired with a compatible eero router, it can also help extend Wi-Fi coverage by up to 1,000 square feet, supporting speeds of up to 100Mbps and up to 10 devices on the 5GHz band. Setup is handled via the Alexa app, available on Android, iOS, Fire OS, and web browsers. In terms of privacy, it includes a microphone mute button, wake word activation, and options to review and delete voice recordings. Accessibility features cover adaptive listening, adjustable speech rate, audible request tones, and read-aloud support. Lastly, the device is backed by a one-year limited warranty, with optional extended protection available as well.
