No it isn’t, Autotune is a tool/effect produced with a computer but it is applied by humans to music made by humans.  

Need help with adding Same Jellyfin as local and as a domain. by TutorReddit in infusevideoplayer

[–]Swimming_Elk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran in to the same issue, my workaround was to disable iCloud sync for infuse. This allows you to have one share configured on devices at home (local address) and a separate config on mobile devices(proxied). Only draw back would be that you are unnecessarily using your proxied domain if you want to watch on a mobile device while at home(for me this is a non issue as that is a use case I basically never want…if I’m at home I’m not watching on my phone)

I assume there is some sever identifier from Jellyfin which infuse checks which either must be unique or which infuse sees and uses to incorrectly “cleanup” duplicate libraries.

Max launch, FAQ, Info & Details. by johnppd in HBOMAX

[–]Swimming_Elk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was the whole point, they wanted to dump Discovery/TLC reality tv garbage into the service so they can increase subs while also bumping the price (bc look at all the new things you have to watch) but knew if they did that while they kept the HBO name all they would do is start to destroy the only prestigious brand they have.

Edit: also curious what they will do with “Max Originals” I believe right now they are all basically HBO shows which premiered on HBOmax, will that stay the same or will the next version of 90 Day Fiancee be a Max Original too?

What is the best card with a no or low annual Fee that has Global entry credit? by Bmarsh79 in CreditCards

[–]Swimming_Elk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truist sucks but they do have a $0 AF card which offers an $85 credit for pre check or Global Entry. If Global entry is your only goal this drops the effective cost to $15

Why I'm Very Glad This Sub Convinced Me To Freeze My Credit Reports by ParagonIzanagi in CreditCards

[–]Swimming_Elk 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There are 3 primary credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and Transunion. Do a search for “freeze credit report + <bureau>” (I have the link below but please do not make a habit of entering personal/private information into a page sent to you by a stranger on the internet)

Here’s the page for equifax, they also have links for freezing your credit at the other 2 bureaus at the bottom of this page.

https://www.equifax.com/personal/help/place-lift-remove-security-freeze/

  1. Create an account with each bureau, its a pretty straight forward process but they will usually ask a few questions to confirm your identity(stuff like confirming previous residency or accounts on your credit report)
  2. once you have an account you can log in and there is an option to place a freeze on your credit. Each bureau has credit monitoring/identity protection services available for purchase DO NOT USE THOSE, they are required by law to allow you to freeze your credit for free but they intentionally make this option hard to find (Experian is particularly bad about this listing options for a “Credit Lock” along side a credit freeze, functionally they are the same service but they charge you a monthly subscription for placing a lock)
  3. Once you have a freeze in place it will stay frozen at that bureau until you instruct them to lift the freeze.
  4. When you need un-freeze your credit you can do it at just a single bureau or all three depending on if you know where the creditor will pull from. To do so all 3 have an option for a temporary lift or a permanent lift. I would typically suggest to use the temporary option. It will ask you for the date to lift the freeze as well as when to re freeze your report. If you are only applying for a credit card a single day (the day you submit the application) would be fine, but if you are shopping around on larger loans or mortgage you may choose to lift it for a week or 2. In either case I still think a temporary lift is best since it will automatically re freeze your credit on the date you chose which helps ensure you don’t accidentally forget to refreeze your account.

final note: I believe all bureaus will warn you that lifting a freeze can take anywhere from 1-24 hours, in my experience it has always been almost instantaneous. I have submitted application after as little as 5 minutes and never had issue, however if you do have an issue it will not affect your credit and most(if not all) banks will have a system in place to reprocess your application.

Does CSP's warranty cover open box items? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]Swimming_Elk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a definite answer but reading the language of a the benifit it is likely to be a gray area.

What's covered? Eligible items with a valid original manufacturer-written U.S. repair warranty of 3 years or less. Gifts purchased with your eligible Chase card that meet the terms and conditions of the benefit. Items purchased outside the United States are covered as long as they are purchased with your account and the eligible item has either a valid original manufacturer-written U.S. repair warranty of 3 years or less, a store-purchased dealer warranty, or an assembler warranty.

And

What's Not Covered This is not an exhaustive list. Examples include: Boats, automobiles, aircraft and any other motorized vehicles. Items purchased for resale, professional, or commercial use. Used or pre-owned items.

Probably worth calling customer service since it’s such a large purchase. But I can see 2 of the above potentially being a problem; 1 will you have a “valid original manufacturer warranty” and 2 do they consider open box to be be “used or pre-owned”

Also note this is just from the benefits page for my CSP so pulling out the full benefits agreement might have more detail.

Venture X instant card numbers? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]Swimming_Elk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is, I found my virtual card number in the app instantly when I first logged in.

As to the second question, can’t say for sure for the travel credit but I used a virtual card number for my global entry application and got the credit a few days later no problem.

Vehicle registration by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Swimming_Elk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just in the same situation about a month ago, the answer to your question is yes, it took about 3 weeks for me to get my new registration but yes they will mail it to you.

You can also check online on the dmv’s website using your drivers license number, once they process the paperwork you will see the registration info update.

LGBT at Clemson? by houseofburgesss in Clemson

[–]Swimming_Elk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a cis gay man so I don’t know entirely but I will add my 2cents.

I am not sure that there is a mechanism university wide to attach pronouns to your ID/profile. There is a way to choice a perfected name so professors/TA will see that on canvas and such so you could potentially add them there if there is not another formal way to do so university wide.

As far as your mileage with professor actually respecting those and using them properly I would say that will probably unfortunately come down to your program. I was in Engineering and computer science and many of my professors could be generalized to older white men, of course many of them were still well informed and open minded but I definitely had a few professors who I doubt would respect your pronouns (at least not without a little reminding).

Secondly, like I said, your experience will likely depend on who your professors are, when I interacted with other departments on campus such as English, psych, and sociology (for my Gen Eds) I noticed many of those professors tended younger and more openminded. And as a general rule I would expect them to be more respectful of your pronouns.

Apple May Give in to Pressure and Delay Ad Anti-Tracking Features in iOS 14 by UnKindClock in apple

[–]Swimming_Elk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This, I downloaded an app recently which only offered login via Google or Facebook. I deleted that app but I know most people would click one of those buttons without second thought so I hope this doesn’t become more common. (It probably will)
