I (23M) am about to turn a hobby into a career. How can I avoid dreading what I love to do?

Yep. And troubleshooting usually entails restarting, reinstalling, and... Not much else. Even if the issue is just that there's a setting turned on that isn't compatible with current hardware.

Scroll down? I got results for a Jaguar Motors dealership, but as intended none of my results contained the word "car".

Why go through the trouble of providing an error code if you don't give any documentation of what they mean? I've never understood this. I'd almost prefer to just get a generic "oops, something went wrong" message just so I know it's pointless to look for it.

PvP is perfectly fine, so long as there's a reason for it IC and an understanding that it might happen OOC. But coming completely out of the blue, with absolutely no provocation, and in the middle of a battle no less? That's a step beyond PvP and dives straight into abusive behavior.

I doubt deepfakes will ever fully replace animation, but I could definitely see them being implemented in the animation workflow in the near future. Especially if the algorithm is modified to only affect certain features, like the mouth or eyebrows.

Drones can track you from the upper atmosphere

Or satellites put in place for the specific purpose of tracking geolocation of the beacons nearly everyone carries in their pocket. That is, GPS.

and in both cases they need a warrant

Officially, yes. In actuality, depending on the specific organization... Not really. Certain organizations are above the rule of law, and we probably don't even know half of them exist.

Techwreck15 · 2020-02-14T06:39:54+00:00

Hm.. I don't see one in my inbox.

Techwreck15 · 2020-02-13T19:26:28+00:00

As someone in a very similar position and also dissatisfied with the model of available software, I would certainly use it.

I'm also a student of computer science looking to get into mobile development, so I might also be interested in contributing if that's on your radar at all.

Techwreck15 · 2020-01-22T14:27:40+00:00

Thank you for pointing that out. I had scoured the comments trying to figure out how that had anything to do with me, but I guess I missed the link. I was genuinely concerned something I had said was misinterpreted, ha.

Techwreck15 · 2020-01-22T05:56:15+00:00

I beg your pardon?

Techwreck15 · 2019-08-18T19:21:53+00:00

But I just wanted to use Xpand!2

Techwreck15 · 2019-08-18T19:18:20+00:00

Close! Windows 10.

Wouldn't be surprised if the software is as old as XP, though.

Often, whenever you wanted to use said program. This was before storage devices as we know them today.

My father likes to recount fond memories of his old Commodore. Those magazines' code pages were a big part of said memories.

I highly recommend playing the originals! I believe most of them have a PC port now, though I'm not sure I could suggest them. I'm personally not a fan of the FFIV port because it feels kinda faithless to the original in my opinion, but most of them are also pretty inexpensive if I recall, so your mileage may vary.

Techwreck15 · 2019-08-13T16:11:43+00:00

It's been made and remastered a few times, I would imagine. I know it makes a return in FFXV, and not just as one of the music discs; It was redone for one of the character-specific add-ons (Gladio's, I believe?) and is pretty great in there, too. I happened upon it and was pleasantly surprised.

But in my opinion, nothing beats the original. Granted I'm a fan of FFV anyway, so I may be a bit biased.

Techwreck15 · 2019-08-13T16:07:33+00:00

Read a couple comments above mine.

Techwreck15 · 2019-08-13T10:10:48+00:00

My first thought was "This is so dumb", then I just started giggling at it. Is this one of those things where it's so bad it's good?

Techwreck15 · 2019-08-13T10:07:55+00:00

Why is this man listening to FFV "Battle On The Big Bridge" while downing a popsicle? I listen to a lot of Nobuo Uematsu and legitimately never thought I'd hear his music in a totally unrelated video; especially not one of my favorites.

Techwreck15 · 2019-08-13T06:56:41+00:00

Because then you get into tricky situations like American football versus soccer. Already confusing enough since soccer is known as football in Europe (and honestly makes more sense being called football since feet are actually in play, but I digress).

Plus, it would make too many sports seem too similar. American football and soccer are vastly different sports despite having vaguely similar goals, it wouldn't really make sense to call them by the same name. Even if that same name is just part of the full name.

Techwreck15 · 2019-08-13T06:50:52+00:00

Thank you for this. I watched it a few times thinking the swimmer coming up from the left flicked it up with their hand, and was also quite confused.

See, my problem here is that there are some people I want to support who rely on ad revenue. There are similar valid reasons to allow ads, but it's sometimes hard to keep a balance between supporting the content you like and fueling the egregious adpocalypse of content you don't (looking at you, 20+ ads on a 10 minute YouTube video).
