Hi, I have a school project where I need to have a few questions answered by people who have had involvement with technology for a few years (around 5+ preferably). A name is useful but not required, as is an organization you worked at or with were you witnessed these changes. I only need a couple people but more is always better. For anyone willing, thank you so much and here are the questions (there is a link for a Google Form if you would like to answer through that): 1. Give a brief description of your background including roles, years of service, and perspective (as someone working in IT, an observer, or other)? 2. a) Provide a detailed description of what processes were affected by technological innovations (how they worked then vs. now) and b) briefly describe the disruptions these may have caused. 3. What type of ethical problems arose as a result of the aforementioned changes? 4. How did other employees of your organization react to the changes? 5. How did these technological changes change relationships between employees and management (such as how was each groups powered modified)? 6. What ethical dilemmas arose as a result of these shifts in power? 7. How well did you deal with the changes and how quickly did you embrace them? The more detail the better but anything helps and even if you don't answer I really appreciate you taking the time to read! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTkV3EBsAsEiAwquhH2rMxkB4GpIklDEwh-Ro7aasj50NmqA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Hello everyone. I'm a YouTuber who just switched from making Gaming Content to IRL content. I need help with choosing a good microphone, which will give me the best performance and is around 50$. I'm thinking between a Lavalier mic and a camera microphone (shotgun), but can't decide which one will be more useful. I will mostly film vlogs, public interviews, pranks and challenge videos with other people, so I won't be the only one talking. At this point I think the Lavalier mic will be the better version, but I'm not really familiar with microphones, so I would like you to recommend me a few Lavalier mics or camera mics. Let me know, which option is better. Thanks in advance!

I have tried searching the web, but the question seems to be too specific for me to find a proper answer - so I am wondering if some pros can help me out here. I need to record a series of interviews from people and with COVID they will be at their homes/work and I need them to do the "setup" of something to do the recording. Everyone has a phone, possibly built in web cams, etc - but I am worried that the overall quality will vary from each interview depending on what they use to record with. I was trying to see if there is a setup that I can buy, setup, and send out to each interviewer that would be 1. Easy to Setup and 2. Get me consistent "good" quality footage. The final hurdle is that some of these people (or all), may be technologically challenged, so the setup needs to be easy to work with so that they can take something out of a box, quickly set it up and plug things in, and record. I know its a big ask and I am sure the perfect setup will not exist, but I am wondering where I should start and maybe some of your ideas might help. Thanks

Hey everybody, I just thought I'd share some questions I had on a recent technical interview. Maybe you'll find it interesting. The position is IT support for an oil and gas company as provided by an outside technical agency: 1. You have a 3 monitor display that isn't working. What would you do? 2. You have a commercial, 1000 dollar printer type set up. There's a paper jam. What do you do? 3. Are you familiar with ticketing systems? 4. Are you familiar with front end database management? 5. Are you familiar with Server/Client Imaging? 6. Are you familiar with AV equipment? Could you follow a schematic? 7. Are you familiar with Active Directory? Pretty basic stuff I thought. Maybe you all will find this interesting. I think I passed but haven't gotten a call back yet. Only been a day or two. I'll post more questions if I remember anymore.

Please answer all my questions and provide additional info as needed. Cop Questions: What does the police have in place to prevent similar events? How many accidents? Why do stuff like this happen. How do they respond? What are the offenders thinking? Pedestrians or Witnesses: Your experience? Why was that guy driving like that? What do you suggest to minimize these situation. Where? How did the police respond? How did you act? THANKS FOR ANSWERING CAUSE APPARENTLY THE LOCAL SHERIFF DEPT. IS TOO BUSY TO READ AN EMAIL.....

HI, this is my first time posting on the forum so hopefully, I am posting in the correct area. I am going to be going in for an interview on a break/fix IT position and wanted to ask some fellow people in the tech community if they have been through a similar experience. And if you have any suggestions on any topics that they may bring up I have a lot of experience in a freelance capacity but have never interviewed for a position like this before. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I'm in grade 11 in high school and I'm currently taking Computer Science 20. For one of our final assessments, we're asked to find someone that works in any technological field and interview them about 15-ish questions. Is there anyone that is willing to spend around 15-20 minutes in a call or even just through a text channel just answering some questions? The only thing I'd need other than answers to the questions is your first and last name (a fake name can work if you'd prefer that too), the business/company you work for and the job title. I know info is a lot to ask for, so I'd like to thank you for your cooperation.

my friends has got an interview with intel and he needs to make a presentation in which he has to educate a games developer on a specific gaming technology related to intel, something that will enhance their latest game. He is thinking about covering VR as intel is pushing that at the moment, but isn't too sure if that's the best approach. I was wondering if people on here would have any ideas about what he could talk about. thanks

Hello, I'm planning a project over the next few months and it will require me to do a LOT of interviews. My budget is $1000 but I'd like to keep costs to a minimum. The subjects of my interviews will mostly be the elderly so I'll need a microphone that's sensitive enough to hear them. I was hoping a yeti or yeti pro would be good enough for this but I'd prefer it if the mic wasn't in the shot so if that isn't going to work does anyone have any recommendations? Based on the feedback I've been getting it looks like I'll want a shotgun mic and I'm pretty sure the yeti pro doesn't function as one. Are there any ~$200 shotgun mics that are worth picking up or am I going to need to sink more money into that? Right now I'm leaning towards this one. The main reason I'm posting to this board is the lights. For lights I was planning on using three of these StudioPRO lights from amazon: link. Those would be used for a three point lighting system but if I'm overkilling it with those I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to some alternatives. I think I'm good on cameras, it's a handheld that shoots at 1080p/60fps. Unless there's an upgrade I can get for under $300 I'm not interested in a new one. I could also pick up some back-drops. I assume those can be something as simple as a curtain but if there's some kind of special material or any fan-favorites I'd love to hear about them. Are there any specific colors I should seek out or avoid? I think that's all I need help with. This site is always so helpful but I couldn't find anything specific about interviews so I thought I'd make a post. The items I posted here were the best price/quality things I could find but I'm not very confident with my research which is another reason why I made this post. Thank you. EDIT: I'm aware that this is completely doable for under $100, I'd just use my phone honestly. But the project IS the interviews. I need audio and video to be as good as possible within my budget which is why I posted here. So while I'm thankful to the people who replied so far, I'm not looking to do this with just my phone or a $20 recorder.

Euclideon is company with Unlimited Detail graphics that they licence and incorporate in their Geoverse Massive Data Manager, hologram rooms, web point cloud streaming and other implementations. http://www.euclideon.com/ http://holoverse.com.au/ Recently they came out with video where Bruce Dell, the CEO of Euclideon and the inventor of Unlimited Detail point clould rendering technology is clarifying and showcasing their tech and their Hologram Entertainment centre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uYkbXlgUCw "computers have limits as to how many polygons they can process on screen at once.. so as you are moving around computer causes things to pop up as you get closer to them and these are the problems that come with the using polygon system. If we are talking about graphics being technically good, then building things out of unlimited numbers little atoms solves all of theese problems. ..." Furthermore, we got an interview with Ryan Shrout from PC Persepective.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8OH2Ekyty4 The interview is about Holoverse and hologram rooms, the tech behind it... even demonstration of animation. Recommend you watch it. "we now got the largest number of Virtual Reality caves, about 120 VR caves arond the world... science centres, universities, we opened first Hologram Room Entertainment centre where people are going to VR caves." ... and 4 page interview with John Gatt from [H]ard|OCP that is now employed at Euclideon. It spans from describing the company, holoverse, the games, the tech behind it and the tech powering it so it should be really interesting read for everyone, especially people who are interested what it takes it to run - the hardware. http://www.hardocp.com/article/2016/09/12/bruce_dell_euclideon_holoverse_interview#.V9kO2NSLRkg "Five years ago I went to Euclideon’s offices in Queensland to meet with Bruce Dell for an interview on HardOCP. In that visit I saw the nascent stages of the Holoverse technology that is now featured in an impressive entertainment center. Bruce invited me to go and experience it a few weeks ago. It blew my mind. The holograms are there in front of you, walking around you. When you compare it to a HTC Vive experience the biggest difference is the fact that fish are swimming around your hands; it’s your hand that you reach out to touch the lion as it walks past you. They seem to make the holograms not only appear but in some cases seem perfectly solid. The wall, for instance, is extremely dense. You cannot see through it. When you take the first steps to walk through it, it’s a surreal experience." Snippet from an interview: " Q1: Bruce, what can you tell us about your hologram rooms? A: A hologram room makes objects appear all around you that are not real. They look like they’re made of light and are a tiny bit see-through. The real walls appear to vanish, so it looks like you are outside in a wide open space. It’s a bit like the holograms that have been seen in science fiction for the last 30 years. Q2: How big is a hologram room? A: 5 metres by 3.5 metres big (15 feet by 10 feet), but size doesn’t matter once you are inside. You wear a special belt that monitors your steps and multiplies them. So if you take one step in the real world it equals 4 steps in the hologram world. This makes the room seem to be about 4 times bigger than it really is . Q3: Where can people try this technology? A: We just opened the world’s first hologram entertainment centre in Australia, it has 40 hologram rooms. You can play games, go to Africa, jump down holes, or fly through the sky. We are in the process of arranging a lot more of these hologram centres to open around the world. ... " Read the whole 3 page interview here /// The tech is really exciting and removes some of the limits we have with polygon system. Makes gaming more affordable, better and makes VR much easier to render with normal PC.

So here's a little background of myself. I'm a 10th grader currently in a Business Tech and communications class and I'm looking for someone who is willing to let me interview them for a project. If you're a computer programmer who has graduated and has some sort of proof and you're willing to take some time just to answer a few questions (probably over skype, in text), send me a message. I really cannot find anyone around who programs and I guess this is kind of a last resource. The questions i'll be asking are quite straight forward, usually under the lines of what your career and work is like. This will probably just be over skype in a text chat, unless voice chat is more convenient for you. Thanks in advance.

An eye opener, and a refreshing interview and none of that cold, down to the facts snore fests many other interviews turn into.

Original Article: http://www.pcgamer.com/rockstar-talk-4k-pc-performance-and-more Recently, I posted an article about Gamespot asking some questions to Rockstar concerning GTA V PC, You can find that article HERE, and now PCGamer has done the same, so I thought I would share this conversation. First off, both news sites have been talking to the same people over at Rockstar North, Director of technology Phil Hooker, Director of engineering Klaas Schilstra and Technical director Adam Fowler. These have been paraphrased by me to also include my opinions on the answer that Rockstar has given. Question 1: Information on the team working on GTA V PC. How long have they worked for Rockstar and what have they done in the past? Answer: Question 2: When did you decide GTA V was coming to PC and when did you start to work on it. Answer: Question 3: How did the process of bringing GTA 5 to PC compare to previous Rockstar games on PC, like GTA 4, LA Noire and Max Payne 3? Was there anything different this time around? Answer: Question 4: The minimum and recommended specs for recent AAA PC-titles for many modern games are much more demanding, yet the specs for GTA 5 are quite low in comparison. Which resolution and frame rate are the recommended specs based on? Are the recommended specs for playing it in 1080p / 60 fps? Which specs do you need to play it in 4k resolution and 30/60 fps, and what is the optimal way to run the game? (That is a lot of questions in one, fair play PC gamer) Answer: Question 5: Does 60fps make a difference in-game? Answer: Question 6: Will the game be locked at 60fps? Answer: Question 7: PC supports 4K, how much of a difference does that make? Answer: Question 7: Can you talk about the range of PC-specific visual options in GTA 5? In the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions I was blown away by the environmental detail and water effects – how far can players push those options on high-end PCs? Answer: Question 8: Can you talk about the development of the Rockstar Video Editor for GTA 5? What are the differences between the version for GTA 4 and this one? Answer: That was a lot of typing. My overall thoughts. This interview, if it can be called that, was a lot more in-depth compared to the one done by Gamespot, as it covered many more questions and questions we wanted to hear, such as it the game limited to x amounts of FPS?. As I said, I have paraphrased most, if not all of the questions and answers, so there is some information missing. I highly recommend you read this article on PCGamers website. Your Thoughts, please leave them down below!

Pre-Review Details: Directors: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg Genre: Comedy/Action? (Michael Bay Cameo somewhat included) Name: The Interview (2014) Introduction: So one night, I forgot that "The Interview" was showing on Christmas so I got out my wallet and decided, "Hey, why not?" and purchased the film through Google Play. However, when I watched it, it just felt like a huge disappointment. Besides the amount of controversy following this movie (Completely Obvious, I mean this is North Korea for pete sakes), the film itself fails to deliver for what it is. Its an average, dumb-downed Seth Rogen movie, with humor that suits to more younger audiences. Not in particular my cup of tea, as its just basically crude humor and a showcase of Seth Rogen's ability of comedy. The media hype, in my opinion, has made this movie a disappointment. Opinions, Opinions, Opinions: The humor presented here is just immature and feels cheap. Even the script, it feels like someone wrote it with no creativity at all other then sticking to the concept of a Political Comedy. Other than that, this film is below my expectations of what Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg could deliver. With all the controversy, the level of expectations from the public was high, and well it received a mixed/fair amount of feedback. Some people, say that the comedy is "Solid Gold" or its what expected from Seth Rogen. Others, state the film was over hyped and was delivered poorly. Honestly, it feels like Sony just rushed this to make quick cash and give a big "Fuck you" to those who was interested/excited to see this movie, such as myself. I mean hey, this movie faced Lizard Squad (hackers that were responsible) and concerns/threats from North Korea themselves. With all the hype, there can be definitely some changes to rush production. Movie specific opinions aside, the technology within this film is what is expected. This was produced by Point Grey Pictures which is a company by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg themselves, and distributed by Columbia pictures. You get this "TRIPLE AAA CINEMATIC MOVIE" feel like its is "The Dark Knight". 3D is not present (I think), which is acceptable. I think this movie was recorded in 24/30 fps, but I may have to research that later on. And the score is.....4/10 Its lackluster, bland, immature comedy from Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg is disappointing, as well the film itself, which is over hyped and feels like it was rushed. Its a little bit enjoyable with the action scenes and music, but that's just about it. The pop culture/Movie references is overwhelming and its just unappealing. I mean they even paid celebrities to make a short cameo. If you want to watch this movie, feel free to do so. I really recommend reading other reviews before watching. Obviously consider this review when watching because you just read all of it. Take caution and this movie may appeal to your sense of humor somewhat. This film is just not my cup of tea.

Well, don't stop me from letting Sony add even more controversy from what might be one of the most controversial films OF ALL TIME (I hear Kanye trademarked that saying, so I gotta pay him his $3.50 for using it). This is just getting absurd on all levels. Anything else Sony needs to share about what the hell went on with this movie? http://torrentfreak.com/sony-about-to-get-sued-for-pirating-music-in-the-interview-141227/
