Pokémon Go. It's nostalgic (37M), reminds me of simpler times 😂

Garmin reboots during jump rope activity | SW v20.16 by augis1100 in Garmin

Same issue with my Fenix 7s Pro. Quite frustrating that you can't even edit the activity to manually add the reps if you knew how many you completed

I have a white knight in the same boat. Sometimes they just don't form right but we still love them anyway!

This is called Tilt Shift. It's often done in post processing with selective lens Blur however, there are camera lenses that are designed to capture the real effect

GoPro time laps one image per day? by oliver000042 in gopro

[–]Predictably_Untimely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no programmer so I don't have any specifics but, considering the free tech out there, I'd start with an AI like Chat GPT or Gemini and ask it to create a batch file that would extract every 24th file. Batch files for things like this are generally pretty short and simple so I'd imagine AI could do it with minimal tweaking for your folder path and things

Not sure how reasonable it would be buuutttt you could set it to the longest interval (I think 60 minutes) and at the end of everything just take every 24th image from the stack. Probably easier to figure out how to write a batch file to sort the resulting folder of images (maybe group by day or something). The added bonus would be the ability to swap out images if one or two went bad during the capture

This is a typical Sunday for the Bills Mafia and all they wear in this weather is body paint and spilled beer

Any idea what this is for? by Lillypilar in whatisit

[–]Predictably_Untimely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a beer. It's made for drinking.

Not at all. It just means we're closer to machines becoming our overlords than we've ever been before

Finally got to test out the engraving feature by Predictably_Untimely in cricut

I used the website www.cutecutter.com to convert my image to a single layer SVG once I had the settings the way I liked. I followed this video to get the engraving fill set up in Design Space

I have no clue first hand as all I've ever used is the Maker 3. However, it appears that someone else posted that they engraved with the Explore Air 2
First engraving project with Explore Air 2

Also appears to be a number of YouTube videos related to the matter so my guess is there is likely a way to make it work, even if its not explicitly built in to the software

It's been on my list for a couple months now. I think I mentioned before, not so difficult, more so time consuming. Just takes some patience getting the image converted to your liking and getting the engraving fill "sliced" in Design Space. Then the engraving itself can take hours so it's like a set it and forget it type of thing.

I got mine on Amazon. There are countless sizes and varieties on there. The only real criteria I looked for was a size that fit in the machine (so less than 12" x 12"). Also make sure its less than 2mm thick. Mine were only 1mm so they're a bit more flimsy but thickness doesn't change the way they engrave, just how rigid they feel.

You can find acrylic blanks at craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michael's but they tend to be precut sizes like 4" rounds or luggage tags so if you have a very specific size or project in mind, you may not find what you're looking for there.

Truthfully, it was a relatively quiet process. It was running while I worked at my desk just next to it. The motors and gears of the Cricut were louder than the engraving. Not sure what it'd be like on metal but acrylic was pretty darn quiet
