I just pushed an update for my Android app α-Remote to allow focus bracketing on Sony Cameras with Bluetooth but without a native focus bracketing feature. α-Remote is free and open source. Just search for "alpharemote" on F-Droid or Google Play.

For users of my α-remote app: I just released a new beta on the Play Store to test new features. - Combine bulb and intervalometer function - Show video recording duration in the app - Several fixes and improvements If you want to test it, join the public beta test on the app's Play Store page.

Just spent a day debugging an OpenGL performance issue in phyphox to eventually find that it is caused by my Pixel 6 overheating atypically in any GPU-heavy application (see benchmark). Anyone ever experienced something like this? Not sure if it's time for some "exploratory surgery" or an upgrade.

This is a screenshot from a benchmark app, showing a total score of 3029 for my Pixel 6. It also shows a histogram of how many other Pixel 6 devices have achieved which scores, most of which score in the range of 5000 to 7000. It also shows that my score is better than only 2% of the recorded Pixel 6 scores.

My Game Boy slideshow generator is almost complete. Just drag and drop some images into it and download a ROM for your Game Boys without installing anything. It runs locally in any modern browser. Give me a few days to wrap it up and make a little YT video. #gameboy #retrogaming

Huh? Is it because of the unusual resolution? An aspect ratio of 10:9 is perfectly normal, isn't it? So, my #samsung TV and an obscure Android App are currently the only two things I know to be incompatible with the GB Interceptor. (Also, I find your lack of space after the period disturbing.)
