But luck had nothing to do with it.Peter Thiel, PayPal founder and billionaire investor, had masterminded the whole thing. After countless other lawsuits it seemed that Gawker had finally run out of luck. In 2016, one of the giants of modern journalism fell: Gawker Media, infamous for saying what other outlets wouldn't say, was sued for publishing Hulk Hogan's sex tape, lost the case and went bust. Some will cheer Gawker's destruction and others will lament it, but after reading these pages-and seeing the access the author was given-no one will deny that there is something ruthless and brilliant about Peter Thiel's shocking attempt to shake up the world.Print Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue It's a study in power, strategy, and one of the most wildly ambitious-and successful-secret plots in recent memory. In Holiday's masterful telling of this nearly unbelievable conspiracy, informed by interviews with all the key players, this case transcends the narrative of how one billionaire took down a media empire or the current state of the free press. Why had he done this? How had no one discovered it? What would this mean-for the First Amendment? For privacy? For culture? The verdict would stun the world and so would Peter's ultimate unmasking as the man who had set it all in motion. He would come to pit Hogan against Gawker in a multi-year proxy war through the Florida legal system, while Gawker remained confidently convinced they would prevail as they had over so many other lawsuit-until it was too late. Thiel saw their publication of the tape as the opportunity he was looking for. Only later would the world learn that Gawker's demise was not incidental-it had been masterminded by Thiel.įor years, Thiel had searched endlessly for a solution to what he'd come to call the „Gawker Problem.” When an unmarked envelope delivered an illegally recorded sex tape of Hogan with his best friend's wife, Gawker had seen the chance for millions of pageviews and to say the things that others were afraid to say. This post would be the casus belli for a meticulously plotted conspiracy that would end nearly a decade later with a $140 million dollar judgment against Gawker, its bankruptcy and with Nick Denton, Gawker's CEO and founder, out of a job. Thiel's sexuality had been known to close friends and family, but he didn't consider himself a public figure, and believed the information was private. ![]() In 2007, a short blogpost on Valleywag, the Silicon Valley-vertical of Gawker Media, outed PayPal founder and billionaire investor Peter Thiel as gay. In the tradition of Janet Malcolm's THE JOURNALIST AND THE MURDERER and Robert Greene's THE 48 LAWS OF POWER, author Ryan Holiday examines the case that rocked the media world-and the billionaire mastermind behind it ![]()

![]() ![]() The Sony a7 III also offers seemingly infinite customisation options. It’s definitely not perfect, but the ergonomics of the Sony a7 III are decent enough to make the switch… which is exactly what I did! Thankfully, the new breed of Sony a7 cameras has changed this, with larger grips, dedicated buttons and dials, and a general feel that’s a decent middle ground between a mirrorless and a DSLR. DSLRs just feel better in every way than compact mirrorless cameras. I resisted mirrorless cameras for a long time for one main reason – ergonomics. There’s no touch capability in review mode either, so no pinch to zoom or swipe to move to the next image like you have on the Nikon D850 and Canon 5D Mark IV to name just two. Currently, you’re only able to move the focus point by tapping areas of the screen, and confusingly still have to half press the shutter button to actually focus. I just wish the touch screen on the Sony a7 III was better implemented. With the Eye-AF and face recognition of the Sony a7 III, taking photos of people has never been so easy. If you’ve ever been frustrated trying to manually track your subject with your camera’s joystick or trackpad, Eye-AF will blow your mind. An ISO range up to 51,200 means that even after dark you can still get a clear shot with fast shutter speed.Īlthough not exclusive to the Sony a7 III, the much-publicized Eye-AF is a major draw card of this camera when compared to other brands. Being able to move your focus point right to the edge of your screen is something DSLR shooters would kill for…Īdd this to the 10 fps with full AF/AE tracking and you’ve got a laser-sighted machine gun of a camera that is equally ready for static subjects as it is fast moving objects. Yes, the a9 is a phenomenal full frame mirrorless camera, but it’s also very expensive and has been made largely redundant thanks to the similar AF performance of the Sony a7 III.Ħ93 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection AF points on the Sony a7 III provide high-density wide-area coverage, which in practice means less missed shots and more extreme composition options. The inclusion of the Sony a7 III in my best full frame cameras roundup is actually the reason why I didn’t include the Sony a9. Borrowing from the Sony a9, the Sony a7 III offers the same speed, precision and tracking performance of its big brother for a fraction of the price. 24.2 MP seems to be the perfect middle-ground for most photographers, delivering detailed images that can be blown up or cropped into, but not so large as to slow down post production workflow.Ī killer feature of the Sony a7 III is its class-leading auto-focus performance. The Sony a7 III features a 24.2 MP back-illuminated sensor, which helps to improve low-light performance. Sony makes incredible camera sensors, so good in fact that other camera manufacturers like Nikon actually use them in their cameras too. So what’s so good about the Sony a7 III? Let’s start with the heart of every full frame camera – the sensor. More importantly, both of the other recommended Sony full frame cameras are much more expensive than this one! Both of them offer certain features that the Sony a7 III does not, but these features only appeal to a very small number of photographers. ![]() You’ll see 2 other Sony mirrorless cameras below in this list of the best full frame cameras of the year. The Sony a7 III is a strange beast, eating into not only the established DSLR-owner market but also cannibalizing sales of Sony’s more expensive offerings. While the other big camera manufacturers choose to release updated versions of their full frame camera models every few years, Sony seems to rush out its releases every year, often to the confusion/delight of consumers. Sony has made a name for itself for fast-moving innovation in the mirrorless camera market, and with the Sony a7 III, its position has been cemented as a major competitor to Canon and Nikon, set to disrupt DSLR sales worldwide. Oh Sony, what did you do to the camera market in 2018?! I can’t remember a camera release that piqued so much interest as the incredible Sony a7 III. ![]() ![]() ![]() Work life might be tied to publishing, artistic areas and entertainment, or nursing and professions that are charitable!

The PrintDry Filament Dryer Pro is perhaps the highest-quality filament drying machine money can buy you. PrintDry is a company that specializes in making filament drying and storage solutions. ![]() But if you want a futuristic-looking, cutting-edge filament dryer, then the FilaDryer S2 is your best bet. The FilaDryer S2 is noticeably more expensive than other filament dryers, even more so than the SH01. On top of letting you control the temperature, set material, and heating time, the S2 also shows you the internal humidity. What I was most surprised about, though, was the amazing user interface placed on the side of the cylindrical container. This is enough of a temperature range to dry basically any filament material, from PLA to PC ! Even better is that Sunlu has implemented 360° heating, so the filament is dried from all-around. This is perfect if you like to have a color-coordinated workspace like me!īut on a more technical note, the FilaDryer S2 is an exceptional filament dryer, capable of heating filament as low as 35 ☌ and as high as 70 ☌. While it doesn’t store more than one regular-size filament spool (2-kg spools won’t work), you do get to choose between white or black for the color of the machine. The first thing you’ll notice about the FilaDryer S2 is its unique shape: a circular container that fits a single filament spool perfectly! Sunlu is another manufacturer of 3D printing products, and the FilaDryer S2 is their latest filament drying machine, replacing the S1. I’ve never had a problem with it, so if you’re okay with spending a little more than a typical filament dryer, I think you’ll love the SH01. To be perfectly honest, I tried finding something wrong with the Sovol SH01, but I can’t come up with anything. There are even 1.75-mm holes at the top to allow you to use the filament with the spools inside. It’s also worth mentioning that the Sovol SH01 can store two filament spools. This is a great feature for any long-term filament storage solution as desiccants won’t ruin the diameter of the filament but still help ensure no moisture is present. And you can control the temperature inside the box using the buttons and LED interface, with options of 40, 45, and 50 ☌.Īdditionally, inside the box is a space where you can place up to four desiccant bags, which remove oxygen from filament. ![]() The heater runs on a 12-hour heating cycle, which is more than enough time to remove all the moisture from the filament. This is possible due to the built-in heater and the silicone seal that prevents water from getting in. The Sovol SH01 is my personal favorite filament dryer box because it can function as both a filament dryer and a dry box. Sovol is a 3D printing company that makes a variety of products, from printers to filaments and even a filament dryer, known as the SH01. ![]() ![]() ![]() !Make sure the statement is posted and invoiced before continuing!
