#zoom — Public Fediverse posts

Holy crap. Excerpted from an email from work:

“Zoom has recently informed us of a significant price increase for our licenses. They are ending the pandemic-era discounts we've been using. The new price they are charging us is a 900% increase over what we paid for Zoom last year. Instead of paying $10 per user, we’re now going to have to pay $91.04 per licensed user, increasing the total campus spend from $7500 to almost $70,000 at our current license count. (Unfortunately none of those are typos.)”

We’re moving to Teams.

This sucks in so many ways.

It’s all about pixels on the bird!

Long and or Zoom lenses are brilliant compensation for a lack of legs… when you can’t get closer to the subject. But you can’t beat nearness.

Here are three bird shots from today. The sparrow was right up close, the kestrel a hundred foot up, and the buzzard way up there. They’re all shot at 600mm but then cropped to roughly the same apparent size. The sparrow took almost no cropping at all, and the additional detail is clear.

Sparrow original crop 8205 x 5470 = 44.8 MPx

Kestrel original crop 2437 x 1624 = 4 MPx

Buzzard original crop 2419 x 1614 = 4 MPs and showing some optical distortion

Even at these reduced (1000 px long edge) resolution images it’s easy to see clarity cannot be cropped in. Get closer, when you can. But don’t climb electricity towers… 😉
