1. I have two or three accounts specifically for what i want to view. I have an account where I only see video editing tips/how-to's, and a separate account for real estate, a separate account for personal interests, etc.
2. When I invariably see something interesting outside of my normal account's spectrum, sure I watch it - but I make sure and delete it from my history.
3. I aggressively click "don't recommend this again" for anything that falls outside of the account's focus.
Well that’s too bad. Sounds like the author just didn’t have the experience or energy to give advice to windows/ Linux users like myself that do audio/ graphical work. I was really interested in seeing what he had to offer.
I personally use an NEC Lavie Hybrid Zero to make my YouTube and Instagram content for my real estate practice. I’ve resigned to stating away from 4K as the render times on an i5 with integrated graphics are just too long for the marginal quality bump from 1089p. Most of my audience seems to be watching on their smartphone anyway, so 4K doesn’t matter to me.
This opens up lots of older laptops for the apps that I use (Davinci Resolve, GIMP, any office suite), but I want to be future proof enough to be able to do 4K when it becomes the norm. For me this means a thunderbolt port so I can use an external GPU.
What software did you use for your modifications?
I’ve seen/ experienced bikes stolen, murders, mugging, and homeless encampments in my travels on bike paths; just wondering if I’m an odd case. Would love to see this trail work out
I work in a classified military space where the security of our equipment has been verified; our 80 inchers are all NEC and work wonderfully
Two questions; I'm not that educated in this field: 1. Is Windows LTSC not an option for people like this?
2. I'm running it on my laptop and am seeing better performance with telemetry turned of, but am unsure if its still a "privacy nightmare". what tools can I use verify that my OS is not calling home?
“In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as “probable” or “presumed.” In these instances, certifiers should use their best clinical judgement in determining if a COVID–19 infection was likely. However, please note that testing for COVID–19 should be conducted whenever possible.” [0]
What this means to me is that the number of CV19 deaths - while tragic - can easily be exacerbated into a political weapon while distracting us from other issues.
I wish everyone would just wear a mask. A jacket doesn’t prevent you from freezing, but every little bit helps.
The sale will lower its stake in the telecom unit, known as SoftBank to 40% from 62%, ending its position as majority shareholder. It will remain the largest shareholder of the company, which is one of Japan’s biggest mobile-phone providers.
There is a graphic I stumbled upon years ago - I haven't been able to find it recently - that described Facebook's gameplan - 10-20 years out. It basically described how the focus of the platform would evolve with how effectively users would be able to share their lives with their network, in progression with technology, or - more specifically - the price of bandwidth. Let me explain:
FB early years was very text-centric. I recall not "getting it" because it was effectively a tricked-out twitter. Kinda like Asana vs Clickup today - more features doesn't directly translate to "better". I of course didn't factor in the "network effect". I digress. Early years was text-centric.
When internet speeds picked up (without much of an increase in price to the end user), photos became more of a focus. The Instagram acquisition happened around this timeframe
At the time I found this graphic, The same price/data speed phenomenon was in effect and FB was transitioning to video as its core sharing focus. Facebook acquires Occulus, which leads into the last part of the graphic -
VR. I remember MZ's Mark Zuckerberg's virtual Puerto Rico jaunt. New tech is often akward, but knowing Facebook a player in an industry typically "beyond gaming" is in line to blur that line, is one good example of the viability of Unity as a real revenue producing entity.
This is getting a little long winded, but I think this next part drives the point home.
I'm a real estate agent, and I used to work at a brokerage called Exp (NASDAQ: EXPI). Their pitch (to agents) is that they are a "cloud-based brokerage". While not required - there is a Club Penguin-esque "world" you log into, make an avatar, walk around and an attend meetings in auditoriums. Its very cheesy, but as mentioned above, all new tech is cheesy. Check out Exp stock performance this year. Unity is in a prime position to work with companies in "non-gaming industries" looking to keep current and move with the pace of tech
There is a quote I'm fond of; to paraphrase: To go fast, go alone, to go far, go together.
I while I think that TSLA is doing a great job at innovation, it does seem to be leaving a lot of jobs in uncertainty.
On one hand, those people can be find new, innovative problems to solve now that (theoretically) the problem their job was working on is now solved.
On the other, most people in those positions aren't really in a position to find and pull resources to solve a new problem. Here in the US, there isn't much of a safety net to support them while they're just trying to put food on the table.
Love the progress of Tesla, but I think there needs to be a solution to the jobs that are going to be made obsolete by reducing the number of suppliers and jobs. Don't know if this is a policy issue or a market issue to solve.
One thing that I have taken to in my quest for zone-out material is to put this type of music on a separate Hi-Res music player; I have a Sony A20 Walkman, Sony PHA-1A DAC / Amplifier, and Sony MDRV6 Studio Monitor Headphones as my setup.
Github.audio is perfect for when I don't want to/ can't set all that up
I think its fair to assume that at any time, your data can be turned over to the gov, but if this is the way the FCC is going to go about it, where is the funding to offset the cost of switching to a Nokia or Ericson system? It shouldn't be the small regional ISPs that have to foot the bill for this one.
If its web browsing with long battery life, you should just get an iPad Pro with the keyboard attachment. for anything else just buy an Intel Macbook - who knows how long it will be until the ARM Macbook gets released
That is the current suggestion: (reposted from elsewhere in this thread: https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/outages/2020-June/013124.h...
This is because of an update in the systems from the Sprint side to help merge with T Mobile. That happened from 12am-6am EST and Sprint's systems clashed with T Mobile's. I'm glad I have off today.
