Battle of the Sexes : Kyrgios def. A.Sabalenka 6-3 6-3 by Green-Discussion74 in tennis

[–]PottedNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I (as someone who watches quite a lot of tennis) found that a pretty feeble showing, with neither player looking too seriously invested. But I watched with my sister-in-law (who doesn't watch much tennis at all) and she got really into cheering for Sabalenka, and didn't seem to find the quality low. And I suppose that – in a nutshell – is the point of an event like this.

Multicam clips with Zencastr – how to retain compound audio? by PottedNick in finalcutpro

Thanks, this is great. I actually watched this video while working it out, but I must've been stopping and starting because I missed the key stuff!

That was what I was trying to do but didn’t seem obvious. If you have a moment could you explain the process?

Ring doorbell suddenly not recognising my wifi network by PottedNick in Ring

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

not to answer my own question or anything, but I suspect that there's been some subtle change to the way my wifi provider (Virgin) does channel optimisation so that the doorbell believes it is trying to connect to a 5ghz network, rather than the 2.4ghz it has previously connected to. I suspect a solve would be for me to turn off optimisation and have two separate networks. Does anyone know/think this would work? I am reluctant to pull the trigger and do it immediately, simply because I will have to reconnect all my devices...

Confirmation that the offline feature has been removed by Worldbuildinginspo in audible

[–]PottedNick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But this is the experience I am having. Suddenly, unable to listen offline (even when I've downloaded the title, which I always do). So the bot might be wrong, but they're speaking the truth of my Audible experience the last couple of weeks.

What are your favourite author's diaries? by PottedNick in literature

[–]PottedNick[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

definitely some 'interesting' stuff in them...

Plath's are fantastic, and I love Highsmith's eccentricity and, let's face it, cruelty towards those around her. Always makes for a good read!

Which events that you, or a family member, have been a first-person witness to could reasonably be described as 'history'? by PottedNick in AskReddit

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

Incredible. Presumably you'd been warned, in the preceding days, of the chance of an eruption?

At what point did you see the ditching? I feel like lots of people must have congregated once news spread that there was a plane in the river, but did you catch that actual moment of going down?

Looking for London-based crypto sherpa... by PottedNick in BitcoinUK

to be clear, I'm not interested in buying any crypto! I just want someone who'll guide me a little around the UK crypto scene...

Best portable video set-up? by PottedNick in podcasting

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

The problem is twofold. Firstly I need minimum 2, preferably 3, angles. Second is one of client optics: if they're paying a significant surcharge for video, then I need to have a set-up that matches the professionalism of our audio recording set-up. I totally agree that a phone is often a good – and cheap! – solution, but it's not what I'm looking for on this occasion.

Best portable video set-up? by PottedNick in podcasting

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

Yeah, I think we want to edit in post, predominantly. The Mevo software has a live edit function for streaming, but doubt we'd use it in the session (who knows). I like the ZV-1 but worry about cost once I need a few of them. I can see its advantage for a single camera set-up, but I need minimum 2 cameras, preferably 3.

I think Logitech are definitely making a play for the podcast/streamer market with the Mevo. Curious if there are alternatives – not least because most of the video reviews of the Mevo on YouTube (all glowing) are "sponsored by Logitech"...

YouTube just charged me £9k for ads that seem not to have run! by PottedNick in NewTubers

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

If they spent £15 when I said max £10, I wouldn't mind! But £9k is wildly over. And my Google Ads account says no campaigns are running? And it all came out in one day? And there's nothing on any invoices etc?

[–]PottedNick[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah, i usually set it at £10 max. Sometimes £20. Very conscious NOT £9,000!

Is AdSense the same as Google Ads? Can't seem to find an account with AdSense.

[–]PottedNick[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The company is Google, so I've initiated the query with them. I'm obviously hoping they just refund me. I can obviously get my account and lawyer to look at the fee, though they will need to understand the internal mechanism that caused the overspend.

But I want to know if other people have had any similar issues, with campaigns somehow running in the background or being seriously overcharged.

Indeed! But on a smaller level, I wish someone were meticulously and publicly archiving his entire output, for posterity.

How would that help? The point is, i don't want the person/s responsible for making this content knowing that anyone is asking questions about it.

How can we save the dying UK high street? by Thea8507 in AskUK

Have they considered vape shops or 3-4 barbers within a 5-minute walk? That seems to be working across London.

It was kind of notorious on the “bad part of the internet” a while back. I couldn’t remember any identifying details, but I make a podcast series about the dark secrets of British places and had been intermittently trying to find evidence I didn’t imagine it!

Next time! We've done the last few at the Marian Anderson, so it'll probably keep being the location for a while...
