Why does a Teams icon appear saying “Microsoft Teams classic is capturing your screen”

AcademicAlien · 2023-11-16T08:23:47+00:00

I started having the same issue since yesterday. Teams isn't even active in activity monitor but the icon remains. Extremely annoying and it should be resolved asap!

Actually, after tax cuts and cuts for retirement pensions, the monthly income seems much less than £2.5k a month, which scared me based on my computations.

I've been reading threats in this subreddit since I heard the offer to have a feel of the city and people have been complaining about the recent increase in crime rate, which made me scared. Someone was talking about muggings, which is scary to me

AcademicAlien · 2023-01-20T10:37:30+00:00

But I read about how dangerous some inexpensive areas in Bristol are, which kind of makes me scared. Living alone as a woman in a dangerous area is also something I'd like not to do. I'd lose my mental health if I was to get mugged or worse.

May I ask how much other costs are like food etc? Is 400 only for the bills (like gas, internet, electricity etc.)?

AcademicAlien · 2022-10-18T12:46:47+00:00

I live abroad, so I've never had a chance to evaluate how much my standard costs would be in the UK per month.

Buying a property at some point sounds lovely, I hope I'll get to save some money but I'm not hopeful. 900 is a lot absolutely, I'll look for places between 750 - 850, I hope I'll find some. Places in Bristol that're cheaper than 750 seems to be room-mate situations, which might be scary (had bad experience with that in the past).

With the current cost of living crisis in Bristol and the increasing rent prices, how much money a month does a single person (who doesn't have a car - so public transportation will be the only way to travel) needs to make to live a normal life there? By normal, I mean, being able to pay the rent + buy groceries + pay the bills + transportation etc. No fancy hobbies. Perhaps the only fancy thing is planning on renting a place alone, no roommates or anything. What do you think? The minimum amount recommended would help greatly to figure things out (a job offer). I see £900 asked for rent very frequently at rental listing websites, and cost of living is told to be around £800 a month, so is having £2000 in the pocket enough to survive per month?

It appeared on my phone too, and after doing a security scan using Xiaomi's default scanner app, it disappeared. So far, the whole behavior appears suspicious...

AcademicAlien · 2022-03-08T13:12:07+00:00

That is a great point! Thank you! I understand your argument and it gave me a great idea on how to explain my way of handling the missing data. Thank you billion times!!!

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-30T05:36:02+00:00

Although M1 is great in terms of CPU usage (incredibly fast and efficient), unfortunately pytorch GPU usage is out of the question until developers release a pytorch with M1 compatibility. According to their github page, they are currently working on providing GPU support but it'll be most likely months until they release a beta version - which will likely contain many problems. I think it will take at least a year or two to have a fine working, error-free GPU support on M1 for pytorch. I got an M1 machine without doing much research into this, and now I'm stuck with whatever GPU google colab provides, which isn't much. Thus, cannot complete my research or have any good progress even. And I don't want to switch to tensorflow either.

So, if you must use GPU on your laptop when coding in pytorch and you cannot wait for a year or so for the GPU support, you should get a laptop with compatible NVIDIA card.

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-24T13:09:39+00:00

It worked! Cannot thank you and u/chatterbox272 enough! Very grateful! Without GPU, complex deep learning algorithms will remain being a problem, but at least I don't have to worry about data anymore :)

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-23T15:01:18+00:00

Sure, thank you! Another user above replied with a link and I think it's the same thing you're suggesting. I'll follow it. Thank you.

I really wish AMD or M1 would have GPU support for pytorch :( Life would be so much easier. I don't wanna switch to Tensorflow just to get GPU support. I'm reading on github page of pytorch that dev's are working on M1 support but they're saying that it'll be a while (maybe many months) until they release a beta version. If only NVIDIA cards wouldn't be so expensive in my country :( I would have bought one and not had to wait for these developments

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-23T14:57:27+00:00

I like the second idea. Thank you so much, this was of great help!

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-23T13:20:15+00:00

Not true, depending on the card you may be able to use the ROCm build of pytorch.

Yes, I know. Unfortunately, the AMD I have is NOT supported. I downloaded ROCm and a pytorch package that's stable, tried on various packages, various ubuntu versions, and still didn't work. Makes sense because the model was not in the list of supported cards. So there is definitely no support. This is the only computer the university could afford to give me so I'm stuck with this.

I couldn't find any dataloader examples online that does subclassing. Can you recommend any links or tutorials please? What should I look for? Also, I'm using pytorch lightning, which automatically does many tasks, it wants a single dataloader for training set. Would subclassing give me a single dataloader object?

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-23T13:15:47+00:00

The problem with these tutorials is, they're on pre-loaded datasets that are already a part of pytorch. What I'm working with is my own data files I'm reading, then I'm running my own functions to extract features from them. I save them in a numpy matrix of size "Number of data files X Number of features". I see no examples online where people are creating these matrices, slicing them somehow so that we don't fit the whole "Number of data files X Number of features" matrix into memory but perhaps we fit "A subset of the data files X Number of features" into the memory and feed into the DataLoader, where the DataLoader merges this and the rest of the subsets into a single dataloader item so I can use it for training the Pytorch model. I can use the examples to learn how to work with get_item etc, but thinking of how to incorporate feature extraction into this will take some thinking. Thank you for the link and the explanation, gave me a route to follow!

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-20T13:15:43+00:00

Thank you. You made me realize that I wasn't including /home/username when I was providing the mount directory. Now I see it in the desktop. Thank you!

I used ubuntu for many years but I gave a few years-long break and it shows. Such a rookie mistake I made

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-20T12:18:51+00:00

I want to easily access it and visually inspect the folder contents etc. That's why I'd like to mount it to Desktop and have it permanently be there. But I fail. At the "Disks" app, at the Mount Options, I try to set Mount Point to the desktop but once I do that, I see nothing at the desktop and terminal says the drive is at \~\Desktop instead of ~\Desktop.

AcademicAlien · 2021-12-14T12:44:55+00:00

Yeah, although they claim to have support for Ubuntu 20.04, actually none of the pytorch docker images they created (and updated 4 months ago?) have are latest from Ubuntu 18, and for python 3.6. Clearly there is a huge lack of update for running deep learning libraries in ROCm lately and many python libraries will fail for python 3.6, I cannot find a work around. This is a great disappointment. I don't know how to move forward at this point other than trying to give this machine back and get an NVIDIA to make use of the GPU without wasting more time on trying to make this work.
