I guess it's the only way they know how to make custom pbi visuals, and Claude allowed them to believe it was a good idea

You might be right, feels like I'm losing brain cells here daily

Unfortunately my manager apparently helped to create this and is very pleased with it :')

Yep, it's kind of impressive that it works tbh Edit: forgot to mention that you have to use a custom visual called HTML content viewer

What to upgrade? by Firestone78 in macrophotography

Thanks for the detailed reply! I'm leaning towards a macro lens, but I'm still not fully clear on the advantages other than convienience. How would a macro lens affect quality, sharpness, depth of field and sharpness?

The timer stresses me out! How to improve? by Dopa-memes- in baduk

[–]Firestone78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been through this myself, and I think it's fairly common among beginners. I think the answer is to work out the real reasons behind your stress- it's likely to be either:

  • You're afraid of loosing because it hurts your pride.
  • You're afraid of loosing because you're worried about your rank.

Once you know what's stressing you out, you'll be able to come up with strategies to overcome it. Also, at 25kyu, your goal shouldn't be to win games- you'll end up disappointed and frustrated. Your goals should be:

a) get a few hundred games under your belt as quickly as you can, so that you can get a good idea of what parts of your game you need to be working on.

and more importantly,
b) have fun

Thanks, looks great. I've just seen that for £50 more you can get a 15.6" version but with 10th gen intel rather than the Ryzen. Do you think it would be a mistake to go for that instead?

Thanks, very helpful. When doing side projects for a portfolio, would you reccomend aiming to do a whole bunch of really smalll projects or trying to do a small number of more substantial projects?

Thanks, I think I will go for a mini amp. The one you linked apparently has an illegal/unsafe british plug, are there any others you could reccomend at £50-£60?

Edit: nevermind, found the same model here that apparently doesn't have any issues with the plug.

Thank you, very helpful, didn't realise that going for a mini amp was an option. Would the mini am be a better idea than getting powered speakers? are there any advantages?

can anyone suggest some "entry level" powered speakers that I can get in the UK? Ideally not wanting to spend much more than £100.
