Yes, I’d considered that too. Alas, not the case

Thanks. I’ll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you’ve suggest too. But at this point it’s looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.

Fascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

Thanks for that - wasn’t aware of this and looks good

Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I’m striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn’t respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.

Wasn’t aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!

I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must’ve tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can’t get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn’t click for me and I can’t get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I’d rather not…

I got to play with a Hololens a bit when my brother brought one home from work. Astonishing tech.

To be fair, this has been pretty standard corporate-speak in most industries for a long time. It’s (typically) referring to giving people a reason to stay with your product - we used to use this exact phrase in reference to our complementary training programmes that were included with the product.

But, this is HP, so locked in means LOCKED IN. So, fuck HP 😂

Pretty sure they’re asking for software FOR Windows, rather than Windows itself.

The *arr suite all have web front ends - so you open the page from your phone or laptop etc, add the show you want and off they go with the download, rename, cataloging etc. It it is generally quite elegant in the way it works.

Arrrrr!

Fascinating read, cheers.

West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

There are stairs to the cave itself, but inside is a completely natural pathway. Nothing between you and the speleothems except a rope on the ground. Lights are an LED system worn on each individual’s helmet. And about a bazillion glowworms down in the lower levels over a lake.

Not always. I run a commercial tour (approx 5k visitors per annum, so fairly small in the great scheme of things) - one of the things we pride ourselves on is keeping the cave in its largely unmodified state. It’s really special to be able to share that with people.

Yes, generally seen as a last resort to provide access past a squeeze but I know of several caves that have had Kilometers of passageway added to their surveys through the enlargement of a single point.

There’s really nothing other than Bitwig and Ableton that deals well with loops/clips, or has that clip-based workflow.
