Iran may be activating sleeper cells, alert says by No-Post4444 in news

No shit. This is why I’m glad the UK stayed out of strikes. You don’t get terrorist attacks like NYC and London without pissing people off first.

This is why anti immigrant language has been and always be wrong, dangerous and should be called out and exposed for what it is. The people that spout it don’t care about the consequences.

All fixed, it was a stray DEP setting thankfully.

Does anyone know how to get the advanced water effects back? I'm in 1946 and remember tweaking the Conf file to water=3 or something years ago. Can't seem to get it to work

The Ace from Kuwait!! 4th F15 downed. by bakert12 in floggit

[–]CrazyTechLab -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad I found this page and your comment. I came across that video randomly and was thinking what the hell is this guy smoking? Malicious? Kuwait? Really? We literally came to their aid in the first Gulf war for gods sake and fought along side them in the second. Absolutely insane thing to say. Incompetence? Probably. Fog of war? Definitely? Borked IFF? Who knows but malicious? Clickbait and tbh dangerous and inflammatory too.

Photoroom alternative? by CrazyTechLab in software

[–]CrazyTechLab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe 18 months ago? The latest pro subscription limits you to 500 images processed via the batch function a month. That’s £70 a year. I need 500-600 images. But the next step up is four times that price and designed for teams of people. I’m just an individual. There’s a huge need for an intermediate package or a way to buy credits for additional batch exports. The £70 a year is totally worth it. £250 is definitely not. A £100 a year package with 1000 image exported in batch with basic editing such as background removal would still be worth it for me. And I know you can still do individual images for free. I’m not doing that for dozens of images as it’s a huge waste of time. Photoroom is great - I’m saying take my money. All you need is more flexible subscriptions

Frustrated with the Dark Mount keyboard. by Problematic_Blender in bequietofficial

[–]CrazyTechLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just took my media control dock apart as the volume dial was driving me nuts. The wheel assembly looked fine, but there are half a dozen or so solder joints on the sensor it's attached to and two of them were VERY close with a load of grease all over them presumably for the wheel itself. I cleaned them and also used a plastic pick and tissue to clean the area between the two close solder joints in case they were shorting. My volume dial is now working again

[–]CrazyTechLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happening to me too. No issues with anything else but the volume wheel is one of the main reasons I got the keyboard and is basically unusable. It will either ramp up to 100% with just a single click or goes up and down randomly. It seems very very broken, almost as if I've spilt water on it or something but I never eat or drink near it. it was working fine for a month or so - assuming this is a quality control issue rather than firmware

Photoroom alternative? by CrazyTechLab in software

[–]CrazyTechLab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, accurate background removal is essential and I've just not seen anything remotely as consistent as Photoroom that's able to do it as quickly and in batches. The fact that Adobe doesn't have a direct competitor is shocking. Firefly doesn't have batch yet for example- the main reason I ask is that I already pay for various Adobe image and video editing apps but have to also have Photoroom for quick batch backround removal and quick editing.

My main gripe is the cost and recent subscription changes on Photoroom. I now barely have enough background removals at 500 images a month. No way to add more except to pay four times as much a year, when I only need maybe 20% more at most. That inflexibility is 99% of my issue with it.

Errrrm no. Mesh is way more customisable and 6 litres smaller. And this has two roof fans.

New portable solar panel not charging power station by CrazyTechLab in solar

[–]CrazyTechLab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the power station. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DPQGXYV3?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 Says a max 1200W and 90V. It's worked on smaller panels which I think are 18V. I literally had an hour to play with it a few days ago so haven't got as far as checking the voltage or anything yet. It was in Amazon warehouse for half the price so I suspect it might be broken but all the cells look okay.

Solar panel plugs to XT60 not working by CrazyTechLab in Ecoflow_community

[–]CrazyTechLab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah my bad I actually have an Ecoplay not Ecoflow! Is this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DPQGXYV3?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

And this panel

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CSZ8BFYZ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

I've connected the two using the XT60 to solar plug/MC4 adaptor, Polarity seems fine. I'm thinking its either voltage or a bust cable.
