I bought the iphone14 pro on launch day this year and after shooting a couple in raw, it didn't turn out very good (especially at night, when its not able to run at full 48mb and limited to 12mb). Still needed a ton of processing on the back end to make half decent results. I ended up returning the phone after 10 days.
For the night time issue, that's a physical limitation of the camera's sensor size. It'll always suffer more in low light vs. a DSLR because there is less light hitting the camera.
The reason iPhone shoots night mode at 12MP is because it does what is called pixel binning. It takes four pixels and combines it into one to present a cleaner looking image with less noise.
Most images taken at night will generally need more post-processing to bring it up to snuff. But without seeing your night pictures, I imagine that depending on the lighting available that even DSLRs might have issues without a proper setup. I've taken some pretty good shots at night with my old iPhone X - and that was before all the "neural network" and night mode settings were made available.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that a better camera will help, but it won't necessarily solve your issues.

Somehow I find it easier to frame a picture when taking it using a viewfinder rather than a phone screen. All the newer DSLRs are wifi-enabled too, so you can kind of transfer photos to your phone almost immediately.
The bigger DSLRs are for sure more annoying - but I've been shooting/messing around with the Fuji X-T series and the Canon RP and with the right lens (pancakes, primes) they are fairly unobtrusive and discreet.

Man, I loved my Fuji X-E1 with the 27mm pancake. It was a great low-profile setup, despite the autofocus and EVF being ass, lol.

Has anyone ever come across a situation where you order something from Amazon and to find the package doesn't have the original factory shrink wrap and the product is missing inside?
For context, I ordered a pair of the Microsoft Surface Earbuds on Amazon.com during Cyber Monday while I was in the US. The shipment arrives, I open it up to find that the original shrink wrap was not present and the entire case and earbuds were missing.
I filed this to Amazon and went through the questions and got a return authorization with no option for them to replace it other than a refund. Curious to see how this panned out for those of you who has dealt with this before. Thanks in advance.
Update: Amazon gave me a full refund for the return.
Also, went back a few pages and noticed Bahobz has a Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra necklace for his dog. Jesus Christ.

Was watching CSI: Vegas. Man, the new series is just odd. Stories themselves are okay, but the cast............. I just can't get into it.
Anyway, what caught my eye was when they were talking about a species of bird. Got me thinking about some of the cool names they have for groups of animals.
How can you stand watching TV ? Doesn’t the commercials and interruptions drive you insane ? I can’t even watch normal tv anymore. YouTube and Netflix have ruined me forever.
I keep watching shit like this. I don’t even know why but it’s interesting to me

Damnit........... stuck on level 151 of Royal Match. I got this far without buying anything. So close, so many times. I wish I never downloaded this game. I'm hell bent on getting this level done. What's life without a challenge? It's almost as much a trap as RS, gulolol.
I need help.

Even my chihuahua is a fucking racist. She hates all black dogs regardless of breed. The darker color the more she gets upset. This is probably due to a traumatic experience she has when she was 1 years old and a black lab chased her in the dog park. That or she’s been watching too many TVB shows with my wife and developed into a pompous cunt.
Bumping this to save RS the trouble of going back 5+ pages.
Telus mobility run by bunch of clowns. Half a year ago, I ported over to Fido because Telus started increasing my phone plan cost. Before I ported, I spoke with their loyalty department to see if they can offer a better rate. Telus said no, and told me to leave as they couldn't offer me anything. So I left to Fido and Telus winback called me a week later begging me to come back. At that time they tried to convince to come back, but wouldn't beat what Fido was offering me at the time, so I said I pass. This week, Telus mobility called me many times while I'm at work, so I finally got a chance to answer in the evening. Stupid idiot tried offering me a phone plan that is more than what I'm paying at Fido. Why would I want to come back to Telus when I'm having to pay more, makes no frigging sense. Always that we got a special limited time offer just for you bullshit, but the offer itself is shit lol.
I'm most likely ditching Telus by Boxing Day. Their loyalty department is a joke. I don't know if they legit have no power or what but by the time I port over to another carrier I'm not coming back for some bullshit where they try to match what I already have.

Their loyalty has indeed gone far far down from what they used to be able to do.
That said, if you're persistent and lucky, you can still get good deals. And loyalty does still have the 'power' to extend existing discounts.

Yeah I browse redflagdeals every so often to see what people are getting but man it sounds like such a fucking grind/luck of the draw to get the best deals through retentions. If I have to call more than once because one agent says it's not possible when it clearly is I'm usually out and I'll go to another provider for a few years.
There’s no money in retentions. They have to pad the stats for the business
Signing somone up for 4 services with home phone and security even if they never use those services, for the same cost of retaining you as a customer with 2 of those services looks way worse on paper. So there’s never deals to be bad for loyal customers as they are smart enough not to sign up for useless shit they will never use

If you have someone else at your house you can sign up a new account under (spouse, parent, etc), you can always reach out to a few reps to see what they can offer, cancel your service, and resign under that person.

If you were wondering why Henry Cavill is no longer allowed to be Superman or Geralt the Witcher, it's because he turned into a toxic capital G Gamer LOL. I guess it's not funny to have one more scumbag in the world who was a decent person before.. But man it's crazy to see people get turned like this, from VIDEO GAMES.
So now he has his own production of Warhammer shows and a movie.. Can't wait to see what a trainwreck those will be
Tl;dr I sent mine in May, it took too long, come Sept I drove down to the Vancouver office just after it opened, walked in, filed papers, told to come back at 3:45, had a passport. There was no line or wait or anything.
Online it said the Surrey office had a 5hr wait. It updates a couple times a day so you can get a bit of a feel for how busy they've been ahead of time if you check. They'll only do it quick like that if you have proof of travel in the next couple days though.

I heard he wanted to the show to be more faithful to the books/games and showrunner didn't feel the same way. Who knows what really happened but this person's take on it sounds very one sided and I'm sure there's more to it.
As for being 'not allowed' to play Superman anymore, James Gunn is basically rebuilding the DC Universe from scratch and is writing a script for a younger Superman movie so it's not a role that's made for him.
