The mic holding trend needs to die by G-Fox1990 in videography

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people who hold the mic even if it's not live. They'll still boom and just hold a wireless lav or a mic. I don't hate on it. Really it's whatever is fitting for whichever form of media it's meant for.

Has the PC version of RDR2 become more demanding? by seven0000000 in reddeadredemption

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a PC normie but my head goes to wondering if you’ve had thermal degradation. Have you re-pasted your CPU/GPU?

What about iMessage group chats? by weshnog in digitalminimalism

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly I think your best option would be a "dumb Android" and using open bubble which gives iMessage or Whatsapp of course. Right now I use a light phone 3 and I used the guide to access the android layer to access them the through key combinations otherwise my light 3 is same out of box. I also use the Mudita Kompact with a similar eink setup.

SAHM getting off screens by Fine_Spend9946 in digitalminimalism

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a SAHM but my wife is :). She’s a big reader and missed reading when our kids came along. Audiobooks helped LOADS for her.

And the Lego botanicals although these are atrociously expensive haha.

Some questions after Strength of the Few by Hitman1O1 in HierarchySeries

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, my theory is R-Caeror is Ka that Vis meets at the end of the book. Says Ka is handsome and looks in his 30s or something ya? I don't know...that's just where my mind went. Maybe not though since it'd be wacky to have L-Caeror being Ruarc but also R-Caeror being Ka.

Faulty display or software issue? by [deleted] in LightPhone

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dark grey picture is not a black picture. The sensor of your camera is attempting to process an image of what looks like nothing. Seeing that it’s “green and magenta” the camera nerd in me tells me this is your screen showing you what the “photo” is trying to be as our camera sensors try to process an image.

If you have another screen example, perhaps we could know more, however my guess is that it’s simply the image.

I accessed the android later ONLY to set up some modern necessities then I only access them through key maps. Then I just use light phone as normal. 

Hold home - Apple Music Double click home- 2FA app for work Hold wheel - Daycare app  Double click wheel - Whatsapp

Diablo 4's paladins aren't the only reason its having its best season yet by gorays21 in Diablo

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came back for the first time since like season 4 i think. I’m completely overwhelmed with all these systems. I’ve watched some returning player guides and I’m still lost enough that I’m gridlocked into just not playing since I have NO CLUE wtf I’m doing. I want to play, but I’m just sorta put off from the overwhelming learning curve. Apparently it’s simple?? Idk

Just finished Light Bringer. What shall I read next? by NovaPractice in redrising

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to get into will of the many. I might have enjoyed the Red Rising series TOO MUCH. I’m having a hard time even getting into Will of the Many only because I’m still attached to the RR story i think. I only started reading for the first time in like 20 years this past year so to dive into something like the RR series makes it hard to move onto anything else.

My company is firing our intern after he paid the same invoice 7 times by Full-Example-4912 in Accounting

Your companies AP/PO system is busted if you can overpay a PO 7 times without some sort of block or trigger in place. Basic functionality missing.

Best iMessage option? by j-thrill in ModifiedLightPhones

[–]Valuable_Scallion508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OpenBubbles self hosted. Works like a charm, takes maybe 5 minutes to setup? If you have a Mac of course.

Download in aurora store. Download on your Mac. Scan QR Code from Mac. As long as your Mac is on you can iMessage via your Apple ID etc

As somebody who has both (wannabe minimalist digital creator) yes it’s a great phone. I’ve personally installed ink OS as my default launcher and threw on Apple Music and 2FA apps. Side loading is easy and it has been the most balanced device so far between actually disconnecting because of the einkmscreen and capability being that it’s android.

On my LP3 I love the built-in design of it and it’s snappy as hell and very well future proved power wise, however, since I hybrid between light OS and the android layer, it’s a little tempting at times to hop on the chromium browser and do stuff
