Why many think Sony A6600 is a bad upgrade

Sony recently launched A6600 and A6100 mirrorless cameras. Sony Alpha A6600 is their current flagship APS-C camera while the A6100 is aimed at first time mirrorless camera owners.

 A lot of Sony fans were quite unimpressed by the specs of the A6600. Many professionals who often use A6000 series of camera were also disappointed by the specs as they were expecting something else.
  • No 4K @ 60fps - a lot of new flagship APS-C and Full Frame cameras launching in 2019 are now giving an option to record 60fps 4K. It's very surprising to see Sony, who used to offer 4K when a lot of others were stuck on 1080P, choosing not to bring 4K @ 60fps to A6600. 
  • Same old sensor - A6600 comes with the same sensor as the old A6500. This sensor on board is not exceptional and have rolling shutter issues as well. You expect Sony - the leading camera sensor manufacturer in the world - to bring out something new in their flagship camera. Disappointing.
These two factors are the reason why many professionals are thinking to skip the new gen variant and wait for the next gen with a better sensor and features. 

Don't get me wrong. A6600 is still a great camera. It has build in image stabilization, great battery life, eye AF and fast tracking features etc. It is just that Sony could have - and have the ability and resources - to launch a mirrorless camera with better specs.

[ FIX ] Ubuntu 20.04 Bluetooth doesn't Turn On

I have been using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for a while now with my Ubuntu 20.04. Everything worked well without any issues until one day the operating system refused to turn on the Bluetooth. I could toggle Bluetooth On button from the Settings, but it did nothing.  After spending some time Google Searching why my Bluetooth started not working all of a sudden, and after trying a variety of commands to troubleshoot the problem, I finally found a working fix for this issue. Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T )  and enter below commands one after another.  sudo rmmod btusb sudo modprobe btusb That's it. Your Bluetooth issue would be now solved.  I can guarantee you this problem is going to pop-up every now and then. So copy the above commands to a text file for future uses. Sometimes, even after entering above commands the bluetooth would refuse to turn on. In such cases, just Suspend the system and then wake up it again and check.

Reduce External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu 20.04, 21.10

External Monitors are a great addition to any workspace. I have a Full HD Benq one connected with my laptop via HDMI cable to do multi-tasking. What I don't like about this setup is the external screen is still very bright even after setting it to the lowest possible setting via physical buttons present on the monitor. Changing brightness on the Laptop doesn't affect the brightness of the external monitor. However, In Ubuntu, you can adjust the brightness level of any connected monitor by opening up a terminal/command line and entering a few comments. Xrandr is the command we would be using to achieve this. How to change External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu Linux Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) Enter the command xrandr -q | grep " connected" and press Enter. Find the external monitor name displayed in this command's output. In my case, it is  HDMI-1 To change the brightness enter this command xrandr --output HDMI-1 --brightness 0.5 and press Ente...
