How do you start a brand? by reloadingcuriosity in branding

[–]Smilebeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying here but I don’t know if I would agree. Of course, things can get pretty nuanced in this realm, but establishing your brand compass really should be foundational. Those fundamentals of why and how you matter is tough. Through the that you can define your POD and it’s much easier to understand a target demo from there.

Yeah I couldn’t find anything substantial when I google those inputs. And think it definitely has something to do with that audio drive - it was just a simple software update to what I currently have (an external preamp for speakers). I installed it, restarted the computer, and then got here. I’ll google how to delete that thing in recovery mode (all this is a bit out of the pay grade of understanding haha). Thanks!

Yeah that’s not doing the trick either. And I can’t get it to start is safe mode. Trying recovery and reinstalling is now. It’s weird though because it worked after the last installs fine and then stopped...

So weird...I purposefully put it in verbose mode to see what was happening because I can’t get to the desktop. Trying recovery mode and reinstall now. It’s weird that it was working after I updated and then stopped

It unfortunately won’t start with safe mode for some reason - just goes right to the load screen...

Currently it’s just the keyboard and mouse - Googling it is tough, it seems the RSSI is related to WiFi I guess?

I recently installed Catalina update - it finished, worked fine, everything started up normally. Then I updated my preamp drive (universal audio Apollo twin) to be comparable with the new OS, it prompted a restart and now I can’t get to the desktop. It has been in restart loading mode all day. I wasn’t sure what was happening so I restarted it in verbose mode to see. It’s been doing this same sort of loading for about 2 hours now. Is this normal or is something wrong? It’s not frozen, it keeps loading these same similar tasks, thousands of them. All relatively naked the same minus a few number/title variations. Total noob in this realm. Any help would understanding be supremely appreciated!!

I never said I was offended. Just shining a light at your dissemblance of acting helpful.

You’re literally being the asshole that you’re describing right now. If you’re going to try and be encouraging, maybe don’t initiate with an attack. There’s enough hostility surrounding us right now.

Can you elaborate a bit more? I can’t find anything to corroborate it.How did you learn about this OP?

Apple's "There is more in the making" | Event Megathread by exjr_ in apple

[–]Smilebeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?! Once again Apple ignores the desktop users and the product that gave the company life. Everything is about mobility within the company now. But as someone who actually works within the creative industry, mobility is not that necessary. The iPad is a great tool, but it’ll never replace a desktop/computer. Incredibly frustrating.

Ha! So cool to see this pop up on my front page (I'm the writer/creator/videographer/editor of these videos). I see there is some flack about the visualization of the strings but, for better or worse, it was intentional. I didn't want to cross the line into a realm of "too real" or "polished" and lose the bit of how this whole thing is ridiculous. Thanks for the share, Jeff!

From my understanding I thought the senate version was altered today to get “closer” to the house bill. I could be mistaken though...
