Yes, this is exactly what is happening. There’s a rounding-error bug in the camera driver’s autofocus routine (which uses a timestamp) that causes autofocus to behave poorly on a 24.5-day cycle. That is, it’ll work for 24.5 days, then have poor performance for 24.5 days, then work again. The 17th is the start of a new “works correctly” cycle, so the devices will be fine for a while. A permanent fix is in the works.
Sheila, thank you for using your Reward Zone card.
That kid trolled ever[y]body, farted on Wolf Blitzer’s show, and then puked on two more morning shows. If you can’t love this whole ordeal, then there’s just nothing that life can offer you.
Rules that are imposed from the outside or unilaterally dictated by powerful insiders have less legitimacy and are more likely to be violated. Likewise, monitoring and enforcement work better when conducted by insiders than by outsiders. These principles are in stark contrast to the common view that monitoring and sanctions are the responsibility of the state and should be conducted by public employees.
Oh, Internet, you are like a giant greeting card store that is always well-stocked with lovely cliches.
You would starve to death if you were trapped for 40 days in a fully stocked Olive Garden.
Sometimes life leaves a hundred dollar bill on your dresser, and you don’t realize until later that it’s because it fucked you.
Back in 2002, science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer wrote an essay about the trade-off between privacy and security. I’ve never forgotten the first sentence: “Whenever I visit a tourist attraction that has a guest register, I always sign it. After all, you never know when you’ll need an alibi.”
Since I read that, whenever I see a tourist attraction with a guest register, I do the same thing. I sign “Robert J. Sawyer, Toronto, ON” — because you never know when he’ll need an alibi.
