   A little digression from me, I reviewed about half a dozen different webcams, including the new one from Opal and Apple's Continuity Camera with an iPhone (probably go with that one!). I've been moderately fixated on webcams for years, so you should go check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggyeYOMFa-E

     @gruber yeah I knew that but realized I said it in a weirdly ambiguous way. I’m still amateur enough at video that it wasn’t worth redoing. The astounding thing is that afaik nobody has jailbroken ASDos, which would yield a pretty incredible touchless iPad, I think.

     @anildash Nerdy detail: the Studio Display “firmware” is up to version 17 not because there have been that many versions, but because the Studio Display is actually an iOS device. So it’s running a fork of iOS 17.0, in the same way tvOS is a fork of iOS. Thankfully they don’t bother updating the Studio Display OS with every 17.x.x update.

     @kemayo oh! I bet it was an editing mistake. I’ll check.

     @anildash This was a useful comparison. I'm curious, though -- the Opal camera both had your lips a bit out of sync with the audio (which wasn't an issue visible with some of the previous cameras). Is that an actual issue with the cameras, or was it just something about the video-editing?

     @exkclamation oh I had a poorly-rigged selfie tripod for that, it’s not a setup I usually use. I think the MagSafe mounts that sit on a monitor seem cool.

     @anildash great webcam comparison, thank you! Which mount did you use for the continuity camera setup!?
