And yes, you could use a key (until we all move to unlocking doors with apps on our phones) but I’d much rather risk breaking a 5p coin than my front door key.

One lesser-appreciated consequence of the move to a cashless society for mobile journalists: very few of them in a training group yesterday had a coin to tighten/loosen a plate to attach a frame to a tripod.

Rather…brave to use the back camera to take this kind of photo? Wouldn’t the front camera be the safer option, so you know what you’re getting?

As someone who enjoys language and linguistics, the story of the Beijing half-marathon - controversially won by China’s He Jie - has led to this wonderful paragraph

Some mojo people can’t hear videos when recording; the cause is they’ve muted the device. Shortcuts has an action “set silent mode” but it’s only for 15 Pro with Action Button.
So is there a way to automate unmuting on devices with a physical mute button..?

Interesting that a much larger sample size gives quite similar results...
I'm not saying the Action Button is waste of space but it's not exactly a game changer for many users.

Big mojo news - the BlackMagic app for video recording is coming to Android, soon.

The arrival of BM massively shook up the video recording space on iOS last year…it’s set to be free on Android too, so it may well have the same impact there.

The other big thing about this is that there will finally be a decent, free, cross-platform video filming app for trainers like me and others to tell people to download ahead of a split training course.
The only downside: it’s quite a daunting app for newbies.

The 6 fingers of AI is kind of poetically sad.

Animators historically dropped to 4 fingers because of line economy, schedule, budget. It’s a creative intentionality.

The 6 fingers is the opposite. Absolutely zero creative consideration given to a coin flip generative image 😞

The commentary *is* fantastic and is clearly the main thing here - but who can tell me what’s less than ideal from a video/mojo perspective?
