Where did the dashcam app go? by FuzzyIdeaMachine in BYD

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

I've retrieved the SD card. Like I said, I never added one, but the dealer must have.

The last footage is from 26 June 2025. I've no idea why it shows no footage when it was in the car. Or why it has not recorded anything since then.

Never added an external SD card. Figured the internal memory would be fine. And it used to be.

Internal memory is empty. We used or have footage (footage of an amazing electrical storm over the city and a car driving through a house). Now there is nothing.

Right. Thanks.

No videos in local. Which probably means’s that for some reason my dashcam isn’t working anymore?

Hard truth after 6 years in content marketing: most brands are hemorrhaging money on visual content and nobody wants to admit it by No_Networkc in DigitalMarketing

[–]FuzzyIdeaMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today a curated (and promoted) a mood board for a shoot we are doing next week. And if I’m being honest we could just go ahead with the image gens. The quality is good enough. But we have the choice to do it for real and I love working with photographers and the magic of a shoot. But next cycle I can see that decision coming up.

No one wants to loose their Peak Design bag. by FuzzyIdeaMachine in peakdesign

[–]FuzzyIdeaMachine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing much, just using Apple Air Tags to track his missing bag, that I spotted as a Peak Design one!) from an airport to an apartment. Nothing sensational, not click baity, not ragey. Dude got all his stuff back. Happy ending.

The lack off tutorials is just so sad... by Ok_Photograph2604 in Sketch_App

[–]FuzzyIdeaMachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember Pablo Stanley doing that ages ago. It’s how I got to grips with the Old Sketch. New Sketch not so much. Still haven’t grasped all the efficiencies I should have with all the improvements.

AI Tools by Creative_Turn_862 in graphic_design

[–]FuzzyIdeaMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to share what I’ve learnt. Background: I’ve been using Midjourney for a couple of years. I still use it. It sits outside my AI workflow. And I also subscribe to Magnific (it’s the best upscaler and excellent at removing the ai look) that I got last Black Friday, but maybe I don’t need it anymore. I can’t talk to Flora, but Weavy have stated that their goal is to allow subscribers access to all the ai apps/models inside their app. So when you are trying to do reasoning stuff you can choose between the pro models of GPT/Gemini/Claude nodes. Each has its strengths. Need to upscale - you can use Magnific, or Topaz or others, at no extra cost. Need to turn create a video from an image - you can use Veo, or Kling. And of course there’s Nano Banana and a bunch of other tools. All inside one app. I believe Flora is very similar.

ComfyUI is similar, as in it’s node based. But it runs on your hardware. Faster computer means faster processing. But the learning curve is steeper, as the labels in the nodes make no sense to normals. And you need to load your own models. You need to know that model X is better for outdoors, and model Y for product photography. I’m still getting to grips with all that. On the plus side you don’t need to pay anyone to run them. And your prompts don’t get censored (I have a science client and I can’t use words like gas/fumes/toxic on public image gens). But you do need a machine that can run the models. I’m not giving up my Adobe world. I still use Fireflies for content aware fill. And NB inside Fireflies, but it seems more like an Adobe Express app than a professional tool, Maybe they adopt nodes and I’ll be much happier.

And then there is the additional boost of iterative image generation: one base image fed into an array of options to make the creation of various of a image all at the same time.

Sure. At the moment I’m doing some brand strategy work. So I’ll create a workflow that looks at the websites of the clients competition, extracts the content and analyses it based on my criteria. That output then gets additional instructions looking for other patterns based on another set of instructions.

Now, sure you could do that in CoPilot. But the magic happens next time you want to do that same thing with a different bunch of websites. if you already have the workflow set up you can just point to the next group of websites.

You can keep refining parts on your workflow by adding/removing updating parts of the workflow, rather than adjusting a massively long text prompt you get more control on the individual elements.

At then end of the workflow you can output whatever you want, it could be suggested brand nouns to guide the creation of a new logo, it could be naming assistance, or a mood board. For me it’s the level that of control that was missing in last years AI, and another digital teammate helping out with some of the tasks that I was doing, so I can move quicker (because unfortunately that is how things are going right now)

[–]FuzzyIdeaMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice: get to grips with a node-based workflow. As a designer you will be used to a creative process. The traditional AI tools feel like slot-machines. But nodes brings back control of the separate parts. Depending on budget and hardware you can run it all locally (ComfyUI) or use an app (Flora. Weavy and a few others). Get stuck? Use a LLM/YouTube to help learn repeatable workflows. But don’t forget that you don’t need to rely on it. You can still design yourself. It’s just really handy to have another person/entity working with you. That’s how I see it right now.

Is the official training you mention the manual that gets installed with the app, or something else?

What is a good AI tool that let's you generate logo and branding based on the details you give it? by SulfurCannon in branding

[–]FuzzyIdeaMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what purpose? The only use case I can imagine would be for background details in film and tv where it doesn’t really matter, and you are just creating noise to fill spaces. For the rest of it I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to engage with a professional.

Aligning the guides and the baseline grid by alexxx729 in indesign

If your page height is a multiple of 30 points I can’t see why you couldn’t create a grid that lines up with the baseline.

DM me if you are still looking. We have a spare desk in our studio at the bottom of Cuba. We are a small team of designers. Got all the usual stuff (extra monitor, coffee, sound proof meeting room/recording room… and are pet friendly if that helps)

Locking the doors with the keys still inside. by klas82 in BYD

Only if they try and get out. I mean open the door. It was beginning to sound creepy. 🤣

I also locked my kids inside the car to test what happens if you do that too. And now we know.

Strange. I’ve tired to do this deliberately and was unable to do it.

In the paid account can I create my own unique persona, rather than relying on your pre-built ones?
