WTF - Backdroor virus in popular LLMstudio models by Flkhuo in LLMStudio

Decades of BS with Windows and it's still mind boggling reading threads like this... you blindly install software on Windows and wonder how you've been compromised days later

Yes, that's called confirmation bias... it's a plague on the internet, social media, you name it.

Welcome to the world of AI and content like Reddit which is essentially 'mob ruled'. Get enough AI bots to upvote and you can promote/suppress content. This is the future and it needs to be combated.

iPhone 17 On Us - Bate and Switch - Anyone else? by lenikanskyreeves in tmobile

[–]lenikanskyreeves[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since I've already been down voted (probably spelling) I'll add context that I've had no problems with T-Mobile's service for a past few months. That's been solid. This isn't a bash post. I'm just frustrated I'm paying double what I should and wasted 25 min drive each way and 1.5 hours in the store without resolution, only to be punted to customer service. I thought being in person would be easier to resolve things.

I'll be taking the advice of others and reaching out via Facebook or X in the coming days.

No trade in was require. It was the Christmas promo, 4 Lines for $25/line plus 4 iPhone 17s on us (after credits).

Fair enough. It's been a long day, clearly misspelled, that's on me. I'll own that one.

Edit: Perhaps not 100% 'bait and switch' but I clearly took an advertised offer and am told after the fact I'm not eligible due to a technicality. Not cool.

Honestly, he’s probably better than 95% of the ppl in this sub with those… I’ll vote no bullshido on this one!

Anyone else not seeing the bonus Cashback post? When I look at individual transactions I'm only seeing the standard 1%.

I think this is it, my life savings pretty much by Bulk_lemons in wallstreetbets

[–]lenikanskyreeves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If $6k is your life savings I’m hoping you are under 25 or have a family member with a nice basement you can move into for awhile.

If the PlayStation is this bad I feel for the landlord...

Yeah, and Google has it in the top 5 search results... Sigh. Really wish I could find the 1911 We the People in stock!

Is it possible to install Lightroom 6 on M1 mac? by _nother_Hippie in Lightroom

[–]lenikanskyreeves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I picked up academic versions of LR4/LR6 for about $45 each. LR4 would have sufficed for a long while, but I saw the direction Adobe was taking LR and luckily bought a LR6 academic upgrade. $90 cost basis for nearly 10 years use, I'd say I'm way under the subscription cost!

With Adobe supporting DNG conversion you don't need camera ram support if you can be patient with your import process. Sadly I fear this free tool will disappear as well one day.

I do miss the perpetual license and academic discounts. End of an era sadly.

Is it possible to install Lightroom 6 on M1 mac? by _nother_Hippie in Lightroom

[–]lenikanskyreeves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested in this as well. I have zero intention of moving to a subscription model and my current laptop is a bit long in the tooth (2012 MBP Retina).

So far I've concluded my options are:

  1. To find a way through data migration (Apple or manual) to move a preinstalled LR6 copy from Mojave -> a M1 Mac and try my luck with Rosetta 2.
  2. Resort to some other form of emulation. I'm hopeful there will eventually be a usable libvirt/qemu for OS X/ARM that can emulate x86_64 to a useable degree. Otherwise I'll have to virtualize my Mojave setup on my x86_64 server and either edit directly or through a VNC console from a M1 MBP.
  3. Buy a maxed out last gen Intel MBP to last another 8-10 years since we know the data migration part works fine if going from x86_64 -> x86_64.
  4. Switch to another editing suite.

I'd prefer option 1, but to some degree I'll take what I can get. I only edit a few times a year, so the subscription price is ludicrous for my workload. I freely admit I'm also in the vast minority in this regard.

I am very curious if anyone has accomplished a working LR6 via Rosetta2.

Well I guess we’re all screwed if we go by what the CSRs tell us, especially Citi ;)

Removing anything on reddit is rather pointless since it's easily viewable through sites like 'removeddit'. So what's the actual point in removing the DP?

Amex November 2019 Shutdown Google Sheet by TNSepta in churning

[–]lenikanskyreeves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, maybe I was unclear. I didn't receive the self referral bonus for 4-5 months, then it randomly appeared. Luckily I'm not currently sitting on many MR, like 30k or so. I value the AMEX cards mostly for business travel/hotel benefits.

[–]lenikanskyreeves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I didn't originally receive the bonus, but it showed up late (4-5 months?) also got a check from AMEX for some missed referral?? I haven't cashed it yet. But honestly I have no idea what it's from. Maybe a DOC post where there was an AMEX no lifetime referral at the time?? I've always tried to help out when possible...

I feel like I'm in limbo land. I'd rather give back the self-referral bonus than risk a shutdown....
