FramePack lets you take an image, and a text prompt to what you want that image to do as a video, and generates the video locally. The developer also made sure it was relatively easy to install. This is great progress in regards to local video generation. Github...

See our blog post on this drive: https://gearrumors.com/2025/01/23/lacie-4tb-rugged-ssd-pro5-thunderbolt-5-external-ssd/ But basically it's a $600, fast, external, SSD, that's very rugged.

We would be surprised but not bothered if all 3 of these lenses got made. The 300mm F2.8 is the obvious one to make. The 200mm F1.8 seems like the second most likely. Time will tell. All we know for now is that the patents have been filed but that does not mean they will actually produce the...

This video has the best summary: Short version of the story. Samsung makes great phones and the S25/Ultra are great phones, but if you own the S24/Ultra there's very, very little reason to upgrade. And that's always a bit disappointing because we want the technology to move forward so that...

We like Voigtlander, and even more so now that Zeiss seems to have left the photography lens game. This is a nice lens but a shame it isn't available for the Sony E or L mounts as well.
