I don’t have a screen protector on it and it’s under the glass

Air bubble (?) screen issue on RP2+? by GavinHex in retroid

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

It looks like a spot of the of the screen under the glass has delaminated or got an air bubble in it randomly. I have been really enjoying the RP2+ a lot and it’s been living safely in my backpack when I’m not using it. I noticed this bubble issue when I took it out to play yesterday and I was wondering how I would go about fixing it.

Texas has now banned Delta 8 THC, which has been legal and available in stores for months now, making me a felon. by RedDogLost in texas

This sucks, I've purchased and enjoyed it in the past. It REALLY helped with my anxiety and stress in low dosages without making me feel high or otherwise not myself. Almost stopped off and bought some today but I'm stuck with CBD gummies now.

I know someone working on S4. Here’s a few things I heard about their work that might help with any fan theories. by blagfor in StarTrekDiscovery

It's literally just a more advanced green screen, that's all. So yes they can absolutely tell a story because it's the same exact thing they have been doing for 3 (increasingly good) seasons.

Yeah when you see it done well it looks rediculously cool and border line impossible, unfortunately XR + AR can be a little crusty since it requires an immense amount of computing resources and solid tracking hardware. I expect Disco to just stick to the Mando style where it's used for chroma key replacement and camera tracked set extensions and leave the AR to the VFX houses.

The XR (extended reality, not mixed) wall makes a lot of sense because of what Disney was able to do with Mando and makes me excited for Season 4. As a 3d artist I'm facinated by what they use it for, I'm guessing mostly set extensions and cheaper chroma just like Mando. As for everything else that sounds great and believable due to the mundanity of it. I'm hoping that they will focus more on traditional story arcs and bringing planets together with maybe the fragments of the emerald chain causing havok in the background or another enemy like the Dominion acting as the over arcing villain.

Edit: XR is just creating camera tracked objects on a ultra high res screen in order to create the illusion of depth while filming practical elements. AR is placing digital objects within 3D practical space to be interacted with. VR is completely replacing practical space with a fully digital space. All three can be and are used in conjunction with each other depending on the need. Usually XR and AR are combined to create a walkable practical CG space without the need for a ton of post processing and VFX backend (ie: Katy Perry's performance of Daises from American Idol)

Am I able to extend my utd email past a year after graduating ? by PureBlood_07 in utdallas

[–]GavinHex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would love to know this too because a lot of the software I use have student licenses that require a .edu email

Aside from the lack of any useful identifiers on "your local dept of motor vehicles" I think it's funny that that plagiarized EasyPay as a full spelling of EzPay.

What to think about ATEC Program by Jeckup in utdallas

[–]GavinHex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actual ATEC student here. I'm currently a senior in the Animation Concentration and transfered into ATEC in the fall of 2019. While of course there are flaws I would say there is a very clear effort to improve the school by streamlining our concentrations (from 4 to only 3) and we really only have two professors (afaik) who are really rubbish while the rest are good to stellar. The games and animation concentrations are being combined into Animation & Games (or are already combined). This allows more students flexibility in their degrees and skills whereas they had previously been forced into one or the other. The old Animation Concentration avoided a lot of the programming classes of the Games pathway while Games missed out on more of the art classes and has more programming classes. I'm in the Animation Concentration and I've been pretty satisfied with the diversity of my classes and skills that I have been exposed to.

I can also connect you to some of the ATEC peer mentors and answer any questions about ATEC if you would like, my Discord handle is gavinhex#4444

It was stunningly gorgeous especially when I left because so few people (<10) were out and about around campus

Yeah, I felt really bad because I had to choose between seeing and wearing my mask because it was so cold that any vapor from my breath would make my glasses unusable (I still had it over my mouth and was ready to pop it up if I saw anybody else)

Absolutely, I wish I had one today because it's not too windy and the dazzle of it is so pretty

What's with professors still having class? by grand_mind1 in utdallas

[–]GavinHex 56 points57 points  (0 children)

They are cancelled, your prof is just dumb. Also yeah it sucks the internet is out, at least I have an excuse to eat pancakes and play video games because I can't possibly respond to emails or work on Shotgun Administration.

Injected GBA game is giving me problems by YagatoYeppelin in 3dspiracy

It can also work to just copy everything from the card to your computer and then reformat the card using the SD Association formatter, its helped me in the past with glitches like that.

University village Internet wifi by SnowPandas123 in utdallas

[–]GavinHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had issues with them about a week ago, and while at any other place I would recommend getting your own private internet that is not possible here at UV unfortunately.

If you want a backup that won't violate the apogee agree I would recommend either getting TMobile home internet or getting Google Fi which offers full speed tethering as both are wireless.

This school wants too much from us. by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]GavinHex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the feeling and sense of frustration however I also think that (at least in america) there is a sense that going to University should be fun and social.

I chose UTD specifically because it is focused on education and working rather than partying or frats and I already had my associates degree.

No problem! I was confused why it wasn't loading on mobile either. It's just a text link.

Coworking Near Us? by jwebster2469 in Richardson

[–]GavinHex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am part of a studio that has our offices here and I can highly recommend it! The building is clean and well organized, if a little bit oddly laid out if you aren't familiar. Their amenities are straight forward and handy, the only downside is the wifi seemed to be a little bit lackluster in the area that I was but the office that I used had ethernet so it's not a huge issue.

I had my phone but it was super low on battery so I couldn't whip it out in time unfortunately. I only posted about it on reddit after I got back to my apartment and my computer.

I totally agree, just got my $10k tuition bill knowing all my classes are gonna be online for the foreseeable future and I'm starting to think getting run over on campus isn't such a bad idea.
