I've just discovered an amazing parody of Apple from 12 years ago!

I hope this doesn't count as political. The politics is literally background to the real comedy. And now, for the most 2021 screenshot of the year so far:

Also, nice sky!
Needless to say, I've been taking lots of pictures. Apologies for not reading notifications recently, the forum break has been nice so far but I may become active again at some point! Who knows though.

I've been in a Jacob Collier mood. One of the best.

I'm not dead, just busy. I did make a neat render I wanted to share:

I need to study but I'm absorbed by the saying "righty tighty, lefty loosey". It is nonsensical! If the top of the turning thing is going left, the bottom is going right, and if the bottom is going left, the top is going right! There is no relative translation between the two parts!! One could use the right hand rule, that makes sense. But 'left' and 'right' don't describe rotation!!!

Want me to add a layer onto the confusion?

Hot take: Hexagons are the bestagons.
Some of you will probably get it -
More rendering! And it loops!
This was inspired by the wireframe trench in Star Wars (1977), eventually I want to build this into some sort of race with wireframe spaceships, that'd be pretty neat. Generally wanting to flesh it out while keeping the aesthetic.

I did some spooky rendering yesterday:

Image overload. To be clear, I didn't do this thinking it looks good, just interesting. Almost comic-book like.

I saw a beautiful Corvette the other day. Lucky I had my camera on me...

@Silentprototipe I mean, I'd be proud of that thing, as well...

Very very stock. That’s someone’s pride and joy. That or they’ve got 12 other cars just as nice.

I found how they make egg cartons! They just tell the cardboard to form itself into z=sin(x)sin(y)
I just randomly happened upon this shape when doing some Calc 3 homework, completely unintentionally, when I thought "EGG CARTON" and distracted myself from immanently due homework.

I seem to remember it, maybe one where he talks about lightbulbs? I know I only know the store from a youtuber and I can't think of who else it might be that I watch.

As someone who has still spent only a little of their life in the midwest, I only know of Menards from Technology Connections (I think. Maybe someone else)

I'm not dead. Also, holy crap. Apple just released the iPhone I've been dreaming about for months -- an updated iPhone with the 4s' design! This looks as good as iPhone's aesthetic peak a decade ago... with what looks like some of the best tech out there. I'm no iPhone fanboy -- far from it -- but I'm feeling a little less loyal to my Samsung Galaxy S8 right now.

Well, my new Nikon D610 is serving me well. No…

@Pascal... With my birds not being parrots, RGB, or animated (harassing a tv presenter), I feel these photos would look as out of place as wearing pajamas to a formal dinner Edit: seems as though I may have misjudged the parrot thread! I may post after all -

Reinstalling Windows, keeping data (boot loop)
OJTheAviator replied to OJTheAviator's topic in Windows
Good point about copying stuff from C to another drive. Would have saved some time. I did use the bootable registry editor, and attempted to use a backup I had made of the registry, but I got an error and wasn't able to fix it that way. -
Reinstalling Windows, keeping data (boot loop)
OJTheAviator replied to OJTheAviator's topic in Windows
Well, having got everything going again, I'm glad I didn't make a backup of the other three drives then and there. I've got several terabytes of data across the three drives, and since I don't have multiple terabytes of storage on my laptop or currently available in the cloud, I'd have to use spare hard drives. That would take 2-3 days if I were to transfer data 24 hours straight, not accounting for switching drives. It would take longer in practice. Also, while the SATA connector is standard, my adapter is in the form of an external drive enclosure, so the rest of it physically cannot fit a 3.5" drive. I could've hacked off the rest of the enclosure, but I was very happy to be able to keep it as is. All that to say, while I would have backed the data up then if there was a good chance it would be lost, it was a relief to hear that wasn't likely. Of course, I know data backups are very very handy, but it was nice to get it up and running so I can now do cloud backups from this machine when I get the chance. Plus, my one experience doesn't make a study. It's an anecdote. So, if anyone in the future reads this, I can't say whether you'll have the same luck and circumstance as myself. Thanks again for the help and advice everyone! -
New camera! More features! Video! Time lapse!
Perhaps I'll post photos and other stuff soon.

Reinstalling Windows, keeping data (boot loop)
OJTheAviator replied to OJTheAviator's topic in Windows
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the help! @Master Disaster Sounds good. I'm planning on just copying all the files on the drive to my laptop storage, so I don't see why I couldn't copy them back after reinstalling Windows. Thanks for the detailed answer! -
I made a mistake. If people have suggestions or know people who might, I'd appreciate input.

Hello, I did something stupid. I followed a guide to fix a disk drive error, modified the registry, and now my Windows 10 PC is in a boot loop. I get a blue screen with the error inaccessible boot device. I did make a backup of the registry, but I wasn't able to successfully restore it from the advanced options command line. I've decided it's probably best if I reinstall Windows at this point, but I wanted to check a few things so that I keep my photos and documents. Oh, and I was especially stupid because I don't have a backup of all the data. (I'm doing that the minute I get things working again, that's for sure.) I'm running 4 drives in my computer. None of them are in RAID. My most important data isn't on the Windows SSD, so I'm planning on physically disconnecting all the drives except that Windows SSD. I do have some data on the SSD though. I also have a SATA-USB connector, so I'm planning on making a backup of the whole SSD on my laptop. Three questions: If I disconnect the three other drives, re-install Windows on the SSD, then reconnect the other drives, they will show up correctly in Windows and I can access the data on them, right? If something goes wrong with the Windows re-install, I'd be able to do a completely fresh install on the SSD, then restore the data from a backup, right? Would it be highly recommended to also back up the data on the other three drives before attempting the reinstall? My SATA-USB connector only fits 2.5" drives though, so that would delay my process by quite a bit, and you can imagine I'm anxious to get things back to normal. Can anyone see issues with this plan that I haven't seen, or know of a better solution? Once again, this was 100% my fault, and I've already learned several lessons about backing up data and editing the registry. Thank you all in advance!!

Heavenly Bovine, that's a lot of notifications!
I guess some have more, but I've got more than I'm used to, that's for sure
