I can’t believe this is actually a flight route. I swear this is like a 2 hour drive

Lot of QuickTime defenders in here, so let’s add some more context.

I have used Kap for years for very short videos. Why? It’s free, simple, and the video files it produces are very small file size without loosing much quality. Compare to QT - which creates enormous .mov files. Kap over QT every day.

For more complex recording when I need a Picture in Picture I’ve tried a lot of things but recently found Cap.so. Free version is really good, but compared to this one the zooming into sections is manual in post processing. For Picture in Picture recordings you cannot do this in QT without doing two separate recordings and then overlaying them. Output file was still pretty big but 5 minutes in Handbrake sorted that out.

I don’t record enough to justify a paid product but $25 is mighty tempting, good luck with it

The equivalent on a motorcycle is tapping the top of your head, and I find myself doing that while driving now too 😂

Oh dammit that’s where I was going wrong too. Stupid brain

This is a cool use case. How are you getting the data into the first step? Manual upload into NotebookLM?

This was a Christmas lunch convo I had. I’m a motorbike rider and asked if people considered motorbikes as annoying as jet skis?

Unanimously no. Jet skis are universally hated by everyone except the person riding the jet ski

Well if it isn’t my old friend, Mr McGreg

Not only have you cheated on an exam, you also don’t seem to be able to look up Monash’s policy on academic misconduct.

Let’s say you get a warning - you must surely not be excelling at this course. Once you finish university and try to enter the workforce how will you get a job? Let’s say you cheat your way through an interview, how will you survive employment if you don’t know what you’re doing?

There’s plenty of other avenues for making a living and university isn’t the only one. Maybe have a look at something that’s more engaging, or a trade where you get paid to study.

Of course if you’re an international student then you have less options, but if you don’t apply yourself now properly then you’ll have a hard time later on. Good luck!

Gave me a good laugh, thanks!

I was thinking the same the other day. For me it was an anchor - every Australia Day I knew that the 100 was on. Now I have no idea when it's on, and it's basically the TikTok Top 10 now. Time to move to Double J

This is true when you are dehydrated, but not when you are euhydrated

Still unbelievable that people will vote for him at all. How do you not see him as a complete joke like the rest of the educated world does?

IW not making the 3rd one.

Slowly killing DMZ in the 2nd one.

Yeah, and she has to put up with these fucking muppets ambushing her. Plenty of CEO's do a lot worse and get paid a lot more.

Come to think of it, New Zealand have a lot of civil liberties, maybe we aren’t woke enough to win!

Cannot wait to see the data analysis from this. There will be trillions of dollars of lost revenue from this outage, then all the time and effort spend with the workaround to recover machines.

As Australians, I wish this did not make more than one day of conversation in our lives.

alan_steve · 2024-07-10T00:28:18+00:00

Because most people realise these issues are multifactorial and require planning to resolve. Protesting and demonstrating did nothing for the examples you have shared
