This really makes me look like some actual fucking nerd who doesn't do anything else.
I feel quite sad now.[/QUOTE]
This is why I made an effort to learn about cars. It's slightly more socially acceptable to say I spent the weekend working on my car rather than playing video games or fucking around with my servers. Also gets me outside...
I come back to see a lengthy discussion of video. I'm so sorry I'm going to go with camcorders anyways instead of DSLRs!
You're probably doing yourself a favor

I was really skeptical about the quality of footage in the DSLRs, which is why I kind of want to avoid them at all costs!

It kinda depends, some DSLRs output great video and are great photo cameras too, such as the Panasonic GH4 that can shoot in 4K if you wanted it to. Or the Sony A7s. Put decent lenses on them and you're good to go.
If all you care about is actual video, go get a camcorder.
DSLRs (not canon anymore unfortunately) were/are great for independent filmmakers, especially as Brt mentioned the GH4 and A7s which really do have some astounding quality. Magic lantern can make Canon DSLRs better but it can't give them better resolution or higher framerates, and anymore the only decent canon offerings for video are their cinema line of the C100, C300, etc. which are priced a bit higher than most film students/indies want to pay.
Now blackmagic makes some amazing gear for what you pay, but they need a bigger investment of accessories to make them fully usable.
I've been using one of Canon's lower DSLRs for a while now (650D) and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Now that I've been slowly getting somewhere I'm planning to upgrade to the GH4 becuase few people have anything bad to say about it and a 4k camera for under $2k is pretty impressive.
The biggest reason why I wouldn't recommend a camcorder is that they're just not as versatile, especially for someone who's just getting in to video. Sure, the FS700 or the C300 look amazing and give great results, but they're cumbersome, require a lot of accessories, and are not something for the beginner. And, the cheaper options like the sony handycams and canon vixias just don't have the right features for things like manual exposure and interchangable lenses.
TL:DR don't get a camcorder because many of the DSLRs today can give you better results.

Ehhh the Legria has shittier quality. So much for a £600 camcorder... Ugh.

Then get something in the middle like the Canon XA10 or similar.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48011648]I really hate watching TV, I hate that its pre-scheduled, passive and un-interactive.
I only use mine as a dumb panel to shove content to via Chromecast while I wait for my dinner to cook.[/QUOTE]
I quite like it, especially in the drama department where they put writing first and that it allows for many hours of character and plot development puts it miles ahead of what film can offer. Sure I have to sit down and watch it at a certain time but its usually like only a few hours a week out of my time. The whole social media aspect as well helps get rid of the whole un-interactive thing as well. Broadcast TV also allows me to record stuff as well meaning that I'm not stuck with a 720p iPlayer stream and it saves bandwidth for other purposes and I don't have to pause what I'm potentially downloading.
tv is an unlimited source of background noise while i do more important things
I like TV because there were always documentaries about murder when I was going to sleep and I'd watch for a few hours, not worth paying for though so I ended up selling my TV.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48011820]I've got Star Trek, Stargate and X-Files boxsets to serve that purpose for me :v:[/QUOTE]
well, yeah, we don't have proper tv, just netflix and if something isn't on there we buy/rent it on amazon instant or itunes

The 5D doesn't do 1080p60 though, does it?

DigitalFoundry tested out the Xbox 360 emulation on the Xbox One.
If you don't have the bandwidth to watch 30FPS content, not to worry, Microsoft took care of that, the game regularly runs at a bit over 20FPS, and dips below that occasionally.

But the feature isn't even available yet unless you're a "preview" member or whatever MS calls it. Not to mention that Mass Effect runs like ass on the 360 to begin with.

And [url=http://kotaku.com/mass-effect-1-runs-faster-smoother-on-xbox-one-1712235700]here Kotaku's claiming the exact opposite[/url].
Smells like someone's cherry-picking data again. Not sure who.
I am curious how they are making this work on the CPU side. I assume they are doing some kind of (runtime) static recompilation of powerpc to x86 code.
Which has been done in the past and ranges somewhere between 33-100% performance decrease depending on implementation.
But it really seems to be pushing it to emulate an 3.2 GHz PowerPC core on an 1.75ghz Jaguar.
Unless PowerPC cores where just absolutely fucking terrible at the time.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48012241]I'd trust just about anybody else over Kotaku.[/QUOTE]
even polygon?
Well its unlikely it would ever suck in GPU intensive scenes, because that's probably not emulated in any way, they just added support for the Xbox 360 interfaces and shading language onto their exiting graphics layer/driver.
So if you compare the performance in cutscenes only like Kotaku does because then you're going to end up with positive results.
Even in the video posted above you can see that the performance in cutscenes is better in the Xbox One.

Took a while to find the right .iso but i got legit Win7 for 10usd today, chuffed.
Just bought a Surface 3. Opened it upside down accidentally (I'm probably retarded, FYI) and it fell out and broke the front off the drawer of my desk.
Surface is fine though! :v:

I did that with my main harddrive when I assembled my first PC. It ran fine for three years and then I sold it to the guy who helped me build it (and saw me drop it) for €5.
There's just nothing scarier than watching a brand new device tumble to the floor. Though my cheap $100 Office Depot desk isn't exactly the most durable, so I wouldn't give the Surface too much credit for breaking the drawer off.

I'd rather read Anita Sarkeesian than Kotaku.
So I'm having a lot of fun trying to install the toshiba bluetooth stack using [URL="https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-rvl-cnt-01-tr?pid=189694#pid189694"]these directions[/URL] on my laptop.
I've already done this same method perfectly on my desktop, and it worked because it was an external dongle that I could physically unplug and plug back in. Not so on my laptop because I'm using the internal adapter.
Now, I uninstall the generic windows drivers in device manager, and when I get to the part where the toshiba installer says "please plug in the bluetooth device" I click okay and in device manager windows automatically reinstalls its generic drivers, preventing the toshiba installer from continuing.
I've turned off windows automatic driver install and deleted the driver files, but somehow they keep coming back.
What the hell can I do? All I want to do is use this controller with my computer.
