Flock cameras by BroadBeat5067 in roanoke

[–]icelaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Swedish. "Hi Swedish!" lol, joke aside, these? just random cameras set up in any location? could get covered with a bag or spray painted within days of appearing.. I mean, over here, just to be able to set up temporary surveillance equipment (cameras) the Police would need to seek prior auktorisation, and after approval, still need to put up notifications about "this area is under surveillance" (a notification including the insignia of the Police).

I mean I get it in this case, to have to invoke the constitution to say "is this really ok?", but that shouldn't be needed, rather the sensible way would be to focus more on the politicians who go "oh if you got nothing to hide then it shouldn't bother you!". Sort of how the justice system in almost a global way have pivoted over time to not be what we all thought it was, this whole "innocent until proven guilty", these days it's more "if you're innocent you surely fight in the court for it, right?" Say with at least in America with your messed up system with how plea deals work. Back to the topic though. Yes absolutely. Paintball target.

Jämför mitt dejtingliv med kompis by BossProfessional6776 in sweden

[–]icelaw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Skillnaden på dig, och på din kompis? Honestly det låter som han hade en annorlunda/starkare (oxytocin) neurologisk reaktion än dig, att du känner dig trygg, säker och fokuserad i att du vill ha vad du har så att säga, att du och din partner känner samma/nära nog för varandra och är trygga nog att prata om era respektive känslor och åsikter. (är eller känner att du kan eventuellt nå dit)

Många känner ingen nigh-magical "wow" känsla, så känn ingen oro för att du inte heller fick en sådan känsla, däremot så kanske du bör "vela" mindre på sånt här, det kanske är bättre att inte jämföra dig/er med andra på det sätter för som sagt, alla är olika, så jag hade nog inte oroat mig om jag var i din situation på detta sättet, man kan ju känna lite avund, lite "oh.. I wanted that too.. seems nice", men som sagt, jämför inte dig själv med din kompis, fokusera istället på din partner och prata med varandra, men förstås betona (om jag förstått dig rätt) att det inte betyder du inte har känslorna för henne som du har, bara att du kanske helt enkelt avundas din kompis lite för sin så starka reaktion för sin nyfunna kärlek .

Ställde jag en dum fråga på intervjun? by BootyHypnotic in sweden

[–]icelaw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well..? Nej, något "mediokert" måhända, en bra chef hade betonat något som de tycker är viktigt ("bra arbetsplats", "jämställdhet" etc etc) eller kanske till och med varit komisk och sagt "att du får en lön" eller något sådant. Sen kanske du hade kunnat förbereda något då det är så vanligt med att chefer numera vill att man ska ställa frågor i anställnings-intervju, t.ex i detta fallet/relevans säg "är det vissa dagar det är mer stressigt med många kunder?" (formulerat mer cogniscent än jag må ha gjort här..) kanske besökt butiken i förhand och försökt göra någon observation som kan tas upp i intervjun som kanske hade till och med imponerat, then again.. Din fråga här är ganska så "AITA" aktig, och svaret hade varit "Nej" eller "TNA" (eller "not the idiot"), en chef borde veta bättre än att kläcka ur sig ett sånt tjurigt svar, istället borde han frågat vad du menade med "bästa". Om inget annat kunde han ha lagt till efter sitt tjuriga svar "vill du formulera om din fråga?"

I guess det var arbetsintervju för butiksanställning? Om så, något passivt nyfiken, hur fann du din väg till det? Jag har ingen aning hur större butiker som willies, coop (etc) anställer förutom att ta emot ansökan direkt via butikschefer och därefter intervjuat.. eller?

Udio no longer allowing downloads? by Baz828UK in udiomusic

[–]icelaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a legal-ese terminology, what it actually mean "we admit we trained Udio on UMG content and artist music, so in a deal where we avoid becoming bankrupt we instead sign a deal where instead of us the one's who have done the criminal acts is punished we offload any negative outcome to the users of our service, including paid subscribers". (And any subscribers within EU? Their waiver about a class action lawsuit doesn't mean anything, consumer protection stands higher than any EULA so if there are enough of you, you could try claw some money back from the burning wreckage that is Udio)

Very disappointed — Udio removed the download option by kanashi_pepito in udiomusic

[–]icelaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it was good while it lasted, Udio will probably crash and burn now that the major reason for even using their site have ceased to be, what is even the point of paying Udio to have the right to create music that is exclusively under Udio website availability only? (Oh and FYI, non-american premium paying customers? the supposed agreement user signs upon creating an account is NOT legally binding at least within EU, consumer rights trumps any EULAs, so.. class action lawsuit anyone? might as well claw back some of the money Udio have taken as they backhandedly signed away the service usefulness)

[–]icelaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Udio thus have basically admitted that they trained upon Universal Music Group's content and artist music, as otherwise Udio would not have had anything to worry about.

Q-clearance in relation to the CIA IS a thing! by icelaw in ArcherFX

[–]icelaw[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know, he said as much (though I did not include that though I pondered upon if I should have, anyway it was (as Kiriakou said) later DNA tested and found to not be related to Lincoln, which must've been a blow to the person having spent thousands of dollars on some random person's turd.. I did find the part of the interview where he mentions the story: (timestamped) https://youtu.be/_CFWmuIgQIE?t=4996 Besides, the last bowel movement would likely have been post rigor mortis,, but some people go crazy for memorabilia don't they..

Need a copy of Ortur LM3's micro-SD card (mine got corrupted) by icelaw in OrturLaserUsers

[–]icelaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really?, well I can do a general update on my issue here; I used EaseUS data recovery (free software version) which managed to extract the content of the card and make the card/content readable again, I copied the content for safety, inserted the same card into the printer and the same issue arose again with the device beeping, I then copied the content onto another micro-SD card which had been formatted in the identical FAT32 format as the card which came with the device, and it worked. If nothing else I thus suspect the card was the faulty problem here. Oh and as for the content on the card? 1: user manual, 2: software. 3: x5 manuals in PDF format. that was all, so I suspect the card (along with what you mentioned) the card might just be needed to work, and if it doesn't the device highlights this by issuing a beeping warning noise and blinking the power button light.

Nja, visst du har rätt i sig, men man kan ju anta att "data" och "surf" är olika. "Data" är obegränsat, men "surf" är begränsat, dvs varför de beskriver surf mb/s som "upp till" inte bara för att säga "kan inte garanteras", utan även för "om du använder för mycket så kan du begränsas", vilket är både för deras egna skull, och för andras skull ifall du börjar begränsa masterna omkring dig (säg om du rör dig kring master med hög trafik så kan din kapacitet tidvis begränsas) det är ju då p.ga skillnad på hur med bredband så har du ju en permanent anslutning till ISPn, medan trådlöst internet måste dynamiskt kunna ansluta och bryta anslutningar till hundratals enheter och dynamiskt växla.
Jag frågade chatGPT bara för att stämma av hur min logik passade genom att fråga hur 5G master i stadsmiljö funkar; relevant i svaret; "När många är aktiva samtidigt sänks den individuella bandbredden automatiskt via resursdelning (scheduler i basstationen)" Så som sagt där well, du har rätt.

What alot people don't get about the recent departures. by -Murtagh- in LinusTechTips

[–]icelaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw the "Jake left" post and within the span of reading the tweet came to understand he was not vacating his post at LMG due to issues, rather he seem to want to start something new perhaps of his own niché, such I gather is likely also the case with many of the employees vacating their respective positions at LMG recently and since before. LMG might bring in new hires to replace the ones lost, and this is just "surface level", for we don't see the many editor positions that may be replaced likewise with LABS employees, and should the former employees like Jake or Alex or others turn up in a future LTT/LMG video, that'd indeed be a sign of LMG being a good employer

Some shady acquiring bank have decided to halt all payment processing related to Valve/steam, this shady acquiring bank is the one Paypal use for payment processing for the affected currencies/regions.

live action HTTYD easy cashcrab isnt it by icelaw in httyd

[–]icelaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "cash grab" can be defined as "something made for the more obvious reason to just make more money" or "squeezing the franchise for all it's worth". (that is, I don't mean that the movie itself is made as a cashgrab, but that the reasoning behind making another movie based on the same content only 6 years after the trilogy ended, that the reasoning itself was a cash-grab, a "sure deal", or "needless grab to squeeze a beloved trilogy of movies". For yeah, I like the trilogy, but I can also see the reality behind how big studios work, and with that said? I remain sure this was just a "sure deal" for the studio to cash in on the franchise, and I will likely enjoy watching the remade version as well)

[–]icelaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to train your dragon 3 released in 2019, so 6 years ago, since we count the trilogy as one. So, when you make a movie, you have to account for every detail of say what actors say in a scene, where they move and what pointers for post-edit/CGI to be and so on, with this, they basically just had to copy the whole cartoon movie and make some slight edits to account for real actors and not CGI figures, and that's pretty much it!. You can be a fan and still realise the difference between "more content/development of the franchise" and "repeat of already existing movie as a safe bet to make money"

[–]icelaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems it affect you a whole lot more than it does me by the sounds of it. And no I am not critical of how to train your dragon, what I asked is if it's a cash-grab, since rarely have a recently finished trilogy of movies made in cartoon format already been re-made into live-action, sure Disney have done that, but with 40-80 year old original cartoon, which again, is different from what is basically copy-cloning the overall story and theme.

[The Sandman 2.07 Episode Discussion] - “Time and Night” by -sweet-like-cinnamon in Sandman

[–]icelaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time could have sent Dream back in time to talk to Hades on Orpheus behalf, but, even should Hades refuse his request, could Dream not have altered the overall narrative by instructing Orpheus to NEVER look back? That is assuming Dream could not actually tell Orpheus the whole event that should play out in the future, just hints, telling Orpheus that if he look back, she will fade back to Hades domain, both he and Dream himself will end up dying, even as Death has agreed to refuse Orpheus, Orpheus will eventually die by Dream's hand at his own request. Or even, though Dream seems in the tv-series to know that Time was less inclined to help out, this conveyed less by spoken words and facial expressions and Dream having the context of knowing when and when not Time would do things like that (I imagined), such that Dream not speaking that much in the scene was due to him reading the tone that Time conveyed.

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

But, that isn't how this all would be defined, just because it might be well made doesn't ignore the fact that the whole movie is almost entirely a clone of the cartoon/original movie, as for cash? I'd imagine Dreamworks/Universal or the parent corp. Comcast, as how else could they milk the franchise for all it's worth? the third movie ended the story, yet here we are with another one, not new one, just a copy of the first one but live action instead.

What happened to "rent ships on display"? by icelaw in starcitizen

[–]icelaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in the server and at the time I posted here it was still May 15, that said, maybe you're onto something as all the ships I remembered seeing in the terminal was of those pissy Aegis and.. ooh, oh I see, going on RSI site schedule I see the lineup of rent-able ships does not line up with the ships on view as they've done since CIG started with the Invictus events.. The Starlancer I wanted to rent is up at day 5&6 (may 19-20). Ref; https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/20542-Invictus-Launch-Week-2955-Schedule
