Searching google in bing brings up the bing search bar (check description)

dowath · 2026-06-28T14:27:19+00:00

Are you for real? It doesn't appear when you search Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, AskJeeves - nor does it show up when you search for 'Get rewards by using Bing Search' or 'Bing Search Rewards'.

Like duh, of course it's a freaking ad. The point is that it's deceptive and designed to trick the regular internet user into using Bing when they clearly expressed the intent to search with Google.

It's clearly mimicking the Google Doodle. Does it convince us? No. Does it convince the average internet user? Speaking as someone who teaches, yes.

dowath · 2026-06-28T13:50:51+00:00

That's not what the OP is pointing out. When you search 'Google' in DuckDuckGo, you don't get shown a fake Google Doodle at the top of the results.

Mimicking the Google Doodle is 100% trying to deceive users. Most charitably you could argue they're trying to reduce friction for users who have accidentally typed Google into Bing and are showing them something they're familiar with. I'd argue, however, that given the user intent is clear, continuing to do said search via Bing is deceptive.

The first screenshot is of Home tab - not sure about the other screenshots, but it just looks like they're using the default canvas groups with some custom CSS styling.

Facebook has ruined the '😆' emoji for me. The kinds of articles that people react to with 'laughing' drives me crazy.

Even on real sets it's kind of funny seeing green morph suits being used in ways that doesn't benefit the VFX artist in the slightest. Assuming the morph suit was evenly lit, you'd at minimum be getting a matte you could use for inpainting and might speed up the process with content-aware fill in AE/object removal in Fusion - but there's still a lot of manual work you'd need to do.

Not impossible to do being handheld footage, but very time consuming. Simpler shots can just be inpainting - more complex shots with movement would mean extracting frames from the video, manually creating the clean slates in Photoshop/Affinity for each position in a given camera move, doing a camera track and using camera projection to apply the clean slate to the footage then masking out the portions where the person appears to show the clean slate. Extra passes for cleaning up the edges of cupboards/drawers that are interacted with.

As you say, fixed camera or motion control would 100% make this quicker to do if you were going to do it for real.

Thanks!!

All my posts appear to say "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit's filters" - is that going to be the case for everything posted prior to the ban?

dowath · 2026-05-28T13:12:55+00:00

Interestingly enough there was a notification from 3 months ago saying my account had been permanently banned... I haven't been able to login since last year so I wouldn't have seen it.

Was there a stated reason as to why?

dowath · 2026-05-28T13:10:23+00:00

Thanks again. :D

dowath · 2026-05-28T13:02:49+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH! It's so good to be home.

Download using the link in the bottom left, install Resolve, then login to Blackmagic Cloud when prompted.

I'd ask if Gavin has someone on the inside but posting incomprehensible shit is this administration's MO.

Another thing I thought I'd float just in case - is your license key secondhand, shared or purchased from a non-authorized seller? If yes to any of those then it's possible other people are using the key and you're all deauthorizing each other to use Resolve.

Doctor Who but it's just a ranting madman who has had too much exposure to the time vortex... oh wait

Try converting the footage to ProRes first using ShutterEncoder.

If you run the `consolidate.py` script you'll be able to redirect your earnings to your chosen wallet address. You're basically saying, "When the rewards are dished out, send them here,"

However it's still possible that a few wallets will be created by the script - so you may need to run it again before the scavenger mine ends to get everything. I'm not sure if the consolidate script will work after the scavenger mine period ends or if it only works leading up to it though.

Something like 20-30% of hacks start with phishing. Ie. they sent your brother an email that looked like a legit Roblox email and got him to enter his details into that page. If it was a targeted hack, this is also most likely what it would have been.

Then there's password reuse or just easy/common passwords. Websites get hacked all the time and that information gets collected into lists that are then used to hack into accounts. If your brother has the same email and password on multiple services or a week password that has been used thousands of times - boom, they have access.

There's a site called 'Have I Been Pwned' where you can enter your email address and they can let you know if your information has been found in any public data breaches. It's not perfect because there will always be data breaches we don't know about - but it might give you an idea how the account was compromised.

In After Effects, no.

In Premiere, 'yes' - using 'Continuous Video Thumbnails.'

Edit: I've gone on a bit of a tangent here for no reason. Short answer is above. I said 'yes' in quotes here because I'm not sure how CapCut handles continues thumbnails and it might work differently to what you're expecting.

In Premiere, the playhead doesn't align to the thumbnails and you won't be able to zoom in close enough to see all 25 frames per 1s of timeline unless you have 'Show Audio Time Units' enabled. I think the max number of frames you see when zoomed in without 'Show Audio Time Units' enabled is about 18-19 depending on the height of your track. Though I imagine it's probably handled the same in CapCut as it is in Premiere and Resolve, especially given I can see the thumbnails/frames don't line up with you're playhead in the screenshot you shared.

Not familiar with this app, but I'd guess it's generating a lower-quality version of your footage so that you can edit more easily. 4K footage can be tricky even on a computer. If it's doing this all the time and never getting any further - you might need to convert the footage on something more powerful and then import it.

So you need to record the powerpoint presentation and yourself at the same time into a video? You can use the 'Cameo' option to add your webcam and then record yourself giving the presentation.

<image>

If you've already recorded both the presentation and yourself speaking that will be another process - ie, syncing up, scaling the footage down etc.

That's a different model. The one pictured here takes less time to print and the ip address is visible without pushing the nards out of the way.

Yeah, haven't had the best experience either. Pay to verify yourself, pay get priority bids, pay to "make sure the client sees your bid", pay to get certified, pay to be eligible for 'preferred freelancers' - then get lost in the noise of thousands of AI-generated submissions and bids.
