yeah i can get a 2 tb drive for around £50 here in the UK so pretty cheap.

yeah i mean im pretty sure i have warranty on it.

Spamming in the official rules threads is new level of boldness.

I may be misunderstanding something here, but reading this:
is this not an issue on microsoft teams side vs google?
 
I think they have to also change the word smart to dumb.
"the pixel 7 is our latest dumb in the pixel series."
 
I'm all for the app sending details (if properly managed and secured), but the call is still very much necessary. 911 is not just there to dispatch, but to provide medical advice and calm direction/judgement while waiting for the emergency services. Eliminating the call would leave tons of people bleeding out or not getting CPR while help arrives. this would almost certainly kill many people. 

it's not a phone anymore though, just a smart.

Or literally any other Android phone that isn't a pixel.

911 is outdated. They should make (or better said should have 50 years ago) an app where you just press a button and all of your details, location, literally every single possible information about yourself is sent to the emergency services automatically. This should also lock your phone so you can no longer turn it off or turn disable the internet and if it is below a certain battery level it should turn off everything except the necessary to allow for it to continue being tracked. This is all common sense and would save 200% more lives than whatever they are doing currently. Not sure why you still have to "call" to get help.

But… How are they planning on enforcing this?
According to what I know, it's small and and afaik has not triggered any Baggage scanner. But I could be wrong and it would be interesting if anyone has had a contrary experience.

I'll find out

Knowing you are joking with this....
 
... but in case someone thinks this might go by, videos are counted as external links.

It would cost more in electricity usage than what the creator would get from your views. Why do you think creators don't just set up farms of PCs watching their own videos?
If you want to support your favourite creators save up your money, buy some merch and get something in return.

Every language on their menu works for me, except English. My guess would be that this is a bug on their site, where Chinese was accidentally also used as the default language.
 
If you select any other language, you can see that the language is added into the URL, for example https://www.netacad.com/fr/courses/packet-tracer if you pick French. Simplified Chinese adds "zh-hans" instead, while English removes it altogether, but you still see Chinese.

Wait is he not allowed to defend his product because the internet is the internet? I wasn't aware standing up for yourself was now the meaning of whining. Man I feel old, back in my day a person was allowed to defend themselves and things they made/did, and that was like a right, free speech and all. Times do change...

Summary
California Governor signs into law a bill aimed at better child safety online
 
Quotes
From here on I will ignore the actual news article and will focus on quoting the actual language of the bill
 
My thoughts
First, Buffy Wicks made me chuckle. Second, it certainly has good intentions. But I'm not well enough versed in this to know if this will have the intended impact or if this is another situation with politicians trying to do something without understanding how it works

Awesome to hear, thanks for the quick reply. looking forward to its arrival 😁 & again, congrats on the success! the next thing on my list will definitely be the cable management product that was teased a few days ago. 

It's not even sexual harassment.  If both parties are okay with it it's not an issue.
 
The politically correct culture can really ruin a company in my opinion.  It makes working for places not fun to work for if you aren't allowed joking around and always need to remain "professional".  Again, if the party involved is okay with it there isn't a problem with it.
 
Some people aren't comfortable and hate with swearing, would you imply they shouldn't ever swear as well.
 
Yes sexual harassment is a thing, but trying to claim that what Linus and Jake are doing is sexual harassment just makes it worse for the people who actually are harassed at work.

I saw this tweet, which I had replied to already yesterday, but this morning it gave me an idea.
Getting Started
So here I'll detail what I did. First, I created a box of sorts and tried to setup the camera to be a similar focal length as the one used in the photo.
 

 
Next, I modeled a neon sign using extruded nurbs paths.
 

 
Next I lined it up mainly using the image as an opaque layer in the camera itself. I also originally tried to create boxes for the lights to block light, but I didn't use this in the final render.


 
Then we setup materials. One was the emissive for the neon sign, and the other was the reflective surface for the floor and wall.
 

 
Next I tried to export the image with alpha by using one of the gloss layers as an alpha mask, but it kept breaking and didn't give me what I wanted
 

 
So I instead opted to use the raw image and use Photoshop to do some masking technique that I had learned through this post
 

 
Plus a mask of the grates so the light doesn't reflect off empty air
 

 
And with a little tweaking: Viola! A finished result:
 

 

Edit: I realize now that I should've added a noise texture to the floor material since the original floor has texture to it, if you compare the orange reflection to the blue one on the left

Edit 2: Fixed the image
Added noise to the floor reflection so it matches the other reflections Added glass reflections on the server rack glass doors Fixed the ceiling material since it was too shiny Added noise to the ceiling and wall immediately outside the sign to blend with the wall and ceiling texture

You got more than me apparently, cuz IDK what that is, but you can bet I'll be looking it up!
Also as a general update I finally got with the teacher and turns out I only have to address part of the issues. I can basically pick a piece of the prompt and run with it. The teacher is not expecting nearly as much as the prompt made it seem. Still a pain in the butt essay, but far closer to manageable.

For pricing, find at least 3 comparable solutions and get quotes for them. This way you have a relative idea as to if something is good value or if everything is "competitively priced"

It's easy to get overwhelmed with a lot of complex buzzwords in college courses like that. Sometimes the best solution is to break it down into a few words and then start searching based off what you know.
 
-Low budget
-New/"emerging" technologies
-Log files
 
I did a quick search on "new and upcoming open source software for scanning log files" and came up with this list as a result. (https://sematext.com/blog/log-analysis-tools/) I'd start here, or you could try a few more searches yourself to narrow the "technology" down that you want to focus on.
 
If you can focus on free/open source solutions I think that would be beneficial.
 
Maybe there's some sort of AI software/machine learning that can help in this area as well. Good luck!

I'll just say this, if the inside of your case is melting a funko figurine, then the funko figurine is the LAST thing you should be worrying about

Eh. Took a look at most of the comments you see upon opening it and most of them seem to complain about the price. Not surprising. There's lots of people that don't understand premium things, and a lot of LTT's younger audience probably has no desire (or really, use) for a $70 screwdriver.
 
I don't see why you'd feel embarrassment for someone else, just because you follow their content. They're not connected to you, have no relation to you, and don't know you exist. They're nothing to you, you're nothing to them. Period.
 
I don't see this as negatively affecting them that much. He's standing up for his product. Good on him.
Now, if you can point out to specific tweets that devolve into something worse, giv'er.
 
Yes, Megapro.
They have. Megapro.
Wrong.
Does iFixIt make it's own stuff? I'd highly doubt that. They send it away, just like virtually every other manufacturer.
He's said parts of it are are sent to China. Enough of it is done here that it could be labelled as Made In Canada.
I highly doubt that, or you work with people of a very young mental maturity. I also don't believe that potential customers are being turned away. It just went live, and they've already sold 10,000. Even if it did turn away a small handful, oh well. Doesn't really affect much in the long run. You will never please everyone, and trying will simply end in complete failure. Correcting people spreading misinformation can be pretty important, and it can result in more lost sales since there's no blowback from the retailer.
It's not a new thing on the LTT forum, they love to bandwagon on joining the current hate train. For the past couple of years it's been Intel.
I don't follow.
Well that devolved quickly.
Completely disagree. Lots of stuff designed in China is of exceptional quality. Just look at the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2.
Beats the Samsung in almost every design regard.

I never said I agreed with his post at all, but you chose to assume my allegiance instead of reading what I actually wrote. Along with fanboys come haters, both relying on a non objective view/reaction of the situation. You think he's doing bad, and that's fine. You're more than entitled to that opinion. But that's your OPINION, you don't just magically get the right to force him to stop voicing HIS OPINION. Free speech is not speech with no consequence, it's speech subject to public scrutiny. He has the right to say what he wants even if he's wrong. And we have the right to disagree with him and voice our opinions in response, even if WE are wrong. But no one gets to force him to close his mouth or take his phone away. Now I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume you weren't actually threatening to run to his house, assault him and steal his phone. But just like his free speech is subject to scrutiny, so is yours. Your post wasn't worded as an objective critique encouraging engagement. Your post was just rude yelling thru the internet. Your post is what we call being a hater. Hence the sarcastic tone I used and frequently use on my children to point out the fallacies in their arguments.

Anything with lots of littpe hanging pieces should be placed inside a mesh bag before putting it in the washing machine. This is as much for thr safety of your washing machine as the garment. 
 
I don't think we officially advertise our bag as washing machine safe, but I'd be blown away if anything bad happened to it of you run it on cold. 
 
Do NOT put it in the dryer.
