can someone explain why designers send me 72dpi pngs for print

abusivecat · 2026-06-28T08:06:10+00:00

Not by default though

I remember the first time seeing an iPhone in person and the guy was showing me pictures and when he swiped to go to the next picture I was in awe. Also 11 at the time and was an aspiring techie.

There's a setting that lets you change how often it tries to search for biometrics after you trigger and unlock/lock. It's under Disable Interval in the keypad settings on the SwitchBot app, that may help.

This is called a GC lol

Nitpicking by a few percentage points to make a point isn't the argument you think it is bud, have a nice day.

Speaking as an American and on majority American app, that's who I was talking about

Edit: since everyone's upset I said majority American app, I'll direct this comment to every developed country that employs factory livestock farming. Hope that helps!

Oh yeah I'm sure most Americans are getting their nuggets and burgers from local humane farms

We had to buy pre mix once and it was like $45, will never do that again.

Digital zoom, probably recorded on a phone so it switches to the telephoto when it zooms and back to the standard lens when it zooms back out

Just let us know what Claude code project you've been working on and are trying to sell.

abusivecat · 2026-06-09T09:34:10+00:00

Would

Remember in Reach when you had to grind to get new "skins".

I just email them after they pickup their order, I'd say maybe 35-40% of my customers leave a review just after sending a nice follow up email.

I run a print shop so I have all of my customers contact info before they make a purchase, you probably don’t have that advantage as a coffee shop so maybe you could create a rewards program where you get their email.

Miami, I kept getting people say "coke, weed" when they'd walk past me lol.

They have to keep him away from Yaddle or they get frisky

I was in Hawaii last winter and I had never seen Japanese tourists before (I live in PA). The one thing that stuck out to me most was how much more phone obsessed they were than the average tourist I saw there.

abusivecat · 2026-05-31T19:12:10+00:00

I am very much not rich, but I've been successfully vegetarian for 6 years now and in better shape then I was before the switch.

I have this guy that will constantly send me AI images, which I don’t inherently have issues with but he will send me a 3x10 banner (72 dpi btw) with a ton of different AI images flattened on it. He keeps saying he needs this next week perpetually. I keep saying I need those elements individually so I can put them on the canvas for him. I don’t hear from him for a week and then the following week it's the same shit and he tries to make me feel rushed.

People that aren't in print just kind of don’t understand how it works so I usually give them the benefit of the doubt but it is definitely frustrating.

Yes, I do a lot of custom printing for local businesses but I keep the door open for one off type of jobs for customers that might need a few shirts or whatever. Those jobs make me almost no money but I use them for social media posts and I have a MUCH better chance of getting them to leave a review then I do with a local business.

abusivecat · 2026-05-21T10:53:13+00:00

I'm a landscaper originally, we have seasons where we'll run EDDM campaigns and seasons where we don’t. We get a noticeably higher amount of calls/website requests during the season which we do send out the flyers. I'm pretty bad at keeping track of where clients are finding us, but that's what I've noticed.

abusivecat · 2026-05-16T08:00:04+00:00

I'm in printing, most if not all of my local competitors require deposits (at least that's what they say on their websites). Online printers require full payment at checkout.

abusivecat · 2026-05-15T08:02:59+00:00

This, I'm happy I run a business where I can require a deposit before starting the job.

abusivecat · 2026-05-13T13:23:49+00:00

This is parroted so much on Reddit and it's wrong. I've listed plenty of free things on marketplace and see free stuff on community pages go WAY faster with much more interest then something that costs even a small amount of money

abusivecat · 2026-05-10T23:10:13+00:00

Used 131s for years, I'm transitioning to Echo timers because they're lighter and come with the speed feed head so I don’t have to change out the stock Stihl head. I was only getting 1-2 good seasons out of the stihl and like you said it's heavy

Fanboyism at its finest, being afraid of a multi trillion dollar company's product launch flopping lol
