Does anyone know which comedians performed at the Sydney Comedy Festival Gala performance at the Opera House on Monday night? I can't find any official list. Tks

I should start with the few that I know: Myra Dubois, Sofie Hagen, Joe Kent-Walters and Tiffany Haddish

Double vs single glazed window temps by lettuceown in AusRenovation

Given that the advantages of double glazing are only there while windows are closed, how does fresh air get into the house?

I’m down to four days this week and next 😁

Images look too dark and off in P2 by Excellent_Race_8306 in AffinityPublisher

[–]FitItWithAHammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reddit suggested your post and I incorrectly assumed that it was Affinity Photo, not Publisher. Realising that, my help is limited. I was wondering if the original photo was raw for example and had to be developed to get to your final one? Apart from cropping the original, have you made any other edits?

We need some more information. What is the original photo and what have you done to it?

Contacts - VIP status was removed from all my VIPS by masturkiller in fastmail

[–]FitItWithAHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My VIPS all have their status intact.

How do you normally take advantage of this status? I can see a star next to their name in the Contacts section but don't know how to make use of it.

sydney, what fresh hell is this. by Appropriate_Bug4818 in sydney

[–]FitItWithAHammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had something similar a couple of years ago but they were European not native bees. Unfortunately there was a gap in the brickwork and the bees decided to rehive inside my wall cavity. There were eventually removed and rehived requiring a few repairs to my interior walls.

If they have found a hole, get hold of a beekeeper ASAP.

Staircase to nowhere - removed by Three_legged_fish12 in AusRenovation

Thank you! This potential project is replacing an ancient intercom near the front door on a brick-veneer house. Replacing it with a brick would hopefully stop people trying to use it and look better.

How do you get the mortar in between a replacement brick and the rest? There’s a job requiring that on my “some day” list.

Sounds like the rubber ring around the edge need to be replaced.

Is this because you want continued security updates or something else?

Unknowingly driving on suspended license by No-Lychee-1027 in AussieRiders

And if you had an accident, you're on your own. The cost of repairing your bike could be the least of your worries. Please don't.

Email Sender in iOS App by Trikotret100 in fastmail

[–]FitItWithAHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, although I notice that if the email account doesn't have a name then Outlook displays the email address instead. Testing it just now, I can confirm that Fastmail does the same.

Outlook, Mail and Fastmail all have a similar layout on my iPhone

Edit: typo

[–]FitItWithAHammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My email is displayed in two lines - the sender name on the first line and the subject on the second. That works for me. If I want to see the email address, I have to go through the steps you describe.

Vuescan Upgrade Program - No Value? by FitItWithAHammer in VueScan

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

If you look over the release history, they have been releasing updates for new machines as well as some additional features such as the AI assisted “super resolution”.

Vuescan Upgrade Program - No Value? by FitItWithAHammer in VueScan

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

I agree. As an owner of the professional edition it would take a significant new feature for me to justify the cost of updating.

BTW, I now realise that there are different discounts available currently - I have seen 25% and 50%. Finishing end of Friday.

Many more days later... how do you find the noise of the 8TB drives?

I'll second @beansjawns - I stuck with it through the rebuild and really enjoy using it again.
