📌 Important Note (Sun, 3/15/26): Photosets' target market is now iPhones with per-GPU Neural Accelerators + iPads with an M4 or M5. i.e., Apple products aligned with the app's upcoming Next-Gen Multi View Capture support. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, March 16, 2026 Heads Up, you'll need to be at least 16 years old to access our upcoming Cosmosent App Store. See our relevant News Update of yesterday for an Overview. To Investors & Corp Partners, we want to clarify that Apple's focus & obsession on apps for the Young & the Dumb drove most Adults away from their App Store, thus creating significant opportunity for others. We intend to fill the void, starting first with Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera Apps. Photos on one end, Videos on the other end, & Burst Photos, preferably captured with High-Precision Timing, in the middle. Apple has done well on the ends, but Piss-Poor in the middle. To the AAPL Board, if you haven't already, recommend you talk to Cook & Schiller about Our Story. Once Our Story becomes common knowledge, you're very-likely gonna have to make some quick decisions. It's simply NOT OK for Apple to suppress American innovation. And certainly NOT when an American company is at the very fore-front of a Technology. It's NOT our fault that Cook picked a Half-Wit to run Apple's App Store. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, March 16, 2026 The next update of Photosets, v26.2, out soon, (optionally) embeds the GPS-based timecode into the Metadata of each captured photo (on select iPhones AND ONLY when the iPhone is actively participating as a Next-Gen Multi View Capture "slave"). Also, we've decided NOT to move forward with our current HW-based Genlock solution (at the present time). We have some brand-new ideas for it that we want to look into first. Also, for clarity, our Distributed Mixture of Experts (DMoE) solution that we've hinted at runs on top of
Next-Gen Multi View Capture. With each (Expert) basically being a particular ML-based Specialist. With our GDB Detector being the first we plan to release. Where the GD part stands for Gravity-Defying. Cosmosent Labs, Inc. may (soon ?) become the planet's first-ever boot-stap'd ML Unicorn.

(1) As a reminder, it's Photosets' Long Press Shutter support controlling a User-sized FIFO Buffer that's the starting point of it ALL. (2) Photosets crafts 10-bit Videos simply based-upon what's stored in the app. (3) up-to "60" scenes per 8-bit Video. Also, for the record, from our perspective, nothing Technical prevents v25.411+ from becoming the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App. -----

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls. (2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app. (3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session. (4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio. (5) As you may OR may NOT know, Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, 60-Scene 8-bit 420 Video Maker. And it includes Rock Solid A/V synch support for the optional concurrently captured Audio data. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad. In the past, we had allowed Photosets' 8-bit 420 60-scene Video Maker to also run on a Mac. And for that case, End Users needed our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app with its custom App Group-based Content Sharing support, to pass photo sets IN & get Videos OUT (of the Mac app). -----
