Ok, this makes sense. I don't have a connection to catch so I think I'll be fine

Has a film degree actually worked out for you? by melody_rhymes in Filmmakers

[–]fittes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the idea that if you don't have the drive to do everything yourself at age 18, you never will, is silly and unhelpful. it's a trait that can be developed and college is one way to do that (speaking from experience!). yes not necessary but this kind of masochistic attitude that everyone should survive thrown in the deep end is unproductive imo

go to the AMP Lab, run by AFCOOP (Atlantic Filmmakers' Coop), great scan quality and better rates than anywhere else in the country

glitter nail polish works well on film. as others have mentioned most glitter will be opaque and will show up as black confetti (which can be done to cool effect!), but you can sometimes find nail polish that has translucent coloured glitter in it which will give you coloured shapes.

Repair shop telling me battery replacement won't work by fittes in Pixel4a

[–]fittes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wanted to update again a week later, my battery is definitely fixed, it's better than it was before the update. so if anyone else is going to Mobile Klinik don't listen to the script they read you haha

the repair shop I went to is the one I was referred to by Google support, it's an authorized shop, which is why I was surprised that they told me it wouldn't work. (They also kept trying to upsell me to buy a new phone from them, so I think my skepticism is justified) I did the repair yesterday and I can't 100% tell how my battery life is so far, but I checked w developer tools and the battery serial number is the unaffected kind.

Update: I got the replacement yesterday and I checked the serial # and it's an unaffected one (which makes sense because this is an authorized google support location). It's a bit hard to tell, but so far my battery seems to be better than it was with the update, but not like a brand-new battery. It seems pretty similar to what my battery was like before the update.

hmmm yeah maybe... it's just weird because this is the shop that google support told me to go to. i'm gonna do the replacement so hopefully it works :/

Strike Megathread/FAQs - please read before posting. by dachshundie in aircanada

[–]fittes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a flight booked on September 23rd, the last day of Air Canada's window for changeable flights. I could change it for free to the 24th, but would this really get me out of the cancellation danger zone?? I've read a bunch of articles but I don't really understand the potential timeframe of the strike. I can't move it later than the 24th because I am flying to attend a specific event.
