#ProSumer
I still think the old prosumer split-half coolpix (990?) was fucking peak UX for what it was
Mental for macro product shots, duplication, loved that form factor

Fun fact. I think this was the first movie shot on prosumer MiniDV digital cameras. The Canon XL1 if I remember correctly. One of the reasons it has such a unique atmosphere.

I literally just finished a podcast interview where I brought this up multiple times. But I think the age of local models on consumer (not prosumer) hardware is coming sooner than most people think.

@papapishu.bsky.social do you know anything about prosumer networking gear? firewalls?

In other words, TP-Link’s check hasn’t cleared. Most consumer routers are not as secure as enterprise or even prosumer versions. Also notice all the other suing states are using identical language in their lawsuits.

I remember Jobs hated Flash and called it evil. I know newspapers and magazines use InDesign, but that's insanely niche.

My FIL loved Photoshop, but with iPhones and app editors, maybe they gave up on the consumer / prosumer market.

I think there's a lot of room for consumer/prosumer margin destruction but the reality is commercial users are generally paying specifically to never have to think about the underlying issues in the software.

there’s honestly a bunch of different types of SaaS software. you’ve got plg dinkum b2b apps, prosumer services, value adds, etc. blanket statements are unhelpful.

however, ai can (and will) kill certain parts of all of these ecosystems in weird ways

Had the Pioneer DJM300 forever! In a long ago twitter thread Prosumer said 300 was also his first mixer and he won a mix of the year using it :) Janky 🔥

Ridgid is a brand that sits squarely in the prosumer area of the tool market, and its generous warranty policies are a big part of why.

Dieses Vorhaben nimmt "Prosumer" an entscheidenden Stellen von der geplanten Beteiligung an Netzentgelten aus. Es wird eine Mehrbelastung für private Solaranlagen von ca. 100 Euro im Jahr geben - das ist ärgerlich und energiepolitisch eine Geisterfahrt, aber zum Glück noch kein Neckbreaker.

I know a lot of prosumer to pros use WhiteWall. You can have your own gallery website based on whatever and integrate a buy button via shopify. WhiteWall lets you pick what papers to print on per image, they offer metal prints, and other media types. They handle all the shipping too.

Manchmal bewegt sich (wenn auch in kleinen Schritten) was in die richtige Richtung 👍👇
Seit Anfang Oktober gelten für das Laden von Elektroautos neue Regeln: Millionen Speicher könnten künftig das Stromnetz stabilisieren, wenn Wind und Sonne fehlen.

Meinung: Neue Regeln machen E-Autos als Netzspeicher attraktiv: Verbraucher waren Sie lang genug – werden Sie Prosumer

For example in the digital camera market the ultimate consumers of digital camera technology are organizations who buy security cameras. The prosumer personal camera market is relatively small. AI is becoming part of business infrastructure. User facing prosumer apps like ChatGPT aren’t endgame

No one else is doing iPad, they're doing phone, or tablet, I'm doing iPad, it's not a phone it's more, it's not just a table, it's more. Meanwhile I concentrate on mac mini and laptop for the prosumer who wants power and mobility.

So tired of dodging street photographers every time I go into town. I get it, I look a little different, and you want to feel like the fifteen hundred dollars you dropped on a prosumer camera was worth it.

Maybe sociopaths should find a hobby that doesn't involve other people.
