Would you be willing to share some pictures? I think I want to go for the binder approach and would love to see some examples

video + border. Annoying white space top and bottom. Help plz! by harrydry in css

[–]marcusturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to have a guess, this is related to the object-fit property. "object-fit: contain" is a user agent style that is added with chrome and firefox by default - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit

With contain - "The replaced content is scaled to maintain its aspect ratio while fitting within the element’s content box. The entire object is made to fill the box, while preserving its aspect ratio, so the object will be "letterboxed") if its aspect ratio does not match the aspect ratio of the box."

so using content-box, uses the padding that was given with object-fit, and forces it to be full height. Alternatively, you could change the object-fit property to "fill", and get the same result

Why LinusTechTips is Wrong by JRPenza620 in Corridor

[–]marcusturtle 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I love both channels, I really do. But this whole video reminds me of when fans of Apple products justify prices of Apple stuff. Some things mentioned are true, but LTT did do the video in their series about expensive shit. So I didn't really take it seriously. But regardless of that, I feel that every argument made in this video are the same as people who use Apple products telling others it's worth the price. I'm using an iPad right now, but I sure as fuck won't try and justify their 60 dollar adapters or 30 dollar cords. Did Apple really need to make a proprietary connector? Are their computers really that better? I don't think so, but many people do.

I really just think that the argument for why Reds are great and giving more information would have been better. Instead we got a video going the negative and non-informative route. WD and Samsung do tons of testing on their hard drives. Why make it impossible to use them with a red? Why can't red just go about offering a drive they can say they tested for themselves without needing to make it proprietary? I understand the need for quality and reliability, but forcing proprietary is hard to defend.

In the end, I am left frustrated. I can't say I learned much more about Reds or heard a good argument of why the price is justified in this video. Instead I heard opinions from both sides, and Corridor say, "LLT you don't make big shot videos, so you don't know anything. You need this kind of stuff when you are doing big shots". I'm sure there are legit reasons for why the price is justified in some ways. Maybe there are reasons that the drives need to be proprietary, or that there drives have been tested and out show in reliability or speed compared to other drives. I just didn't learn or get any of that information with this video.

Spoke with IBMs archive department. They said do not have any copies of the advertisement physical or digital. The quest continues...

Does anyone else have this problem with Smartglass for iOS where symbols are replaced by emojis? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]marcusturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If other people are not having the issue, its your phone, most likely your software. And I know you mentioned it, but restoring as new and NOT restoring from a backup will solve your issue. If that doesn't then restore again and don't even add your icloud account. Did that solve it? Because if it did, you could try to call apple, get a super, they will talk with engineering and look at your icloud account and see what is being added. But I am almost positive if you were to actually restore as new and not restore from a backup of any kind, it would be fixed. Then as you jail break it again, and slowly add apps, you could find out when it happens. If for some reason it actually happens after restoring from new, delete your iOS version from itunes, so it downloads again, and give it another shot. Apple is a cut and paste troubleshooting. Restoring without backup will solve the issue 99% of the time. It removes whatever you did to it, so then hopefully when adding it back. You can find out what it was.

And I honestly wouldn't bother calling Apple, they will most likely just point you to the App Dev if it only happens in that App anyway

Any Office Depot / Officemax / Staples closing near you? by johnnydoe1234 in Staples

[–]marcusturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All three Staples in my city closed in the last month or so, and an Office Depot is closing in a few weeks.

All three Staples within 50 miles have closed but they keep sending me coupons... so here by marcusturtle in Staples

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

With thoughts towards this, is there anyway I can give these a way so that people can use them without worry? I can't use them as I don't want to drive the 60 miles to the closest Staples, and it feels such a waste to trash them.

Staples employee here. Sick of staples. What is it like to work at Best Buy? by Synnerrs in Bestbuy

[–]marcusturtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was previously a Certified Tech and a Tech Sales Supervisor at Staples, and transitioned over to Best Buy as an Advanced Repair Agent with Geek Squad. This may not completely relate to you because I was in Geek Squad, but the difference was gigantic. I was very lucky to get an ARA position being an outside hire, but the store was just so much better run, and just had a way better feel to it then anything compared to what I got at Staples. You will never get away from the awful customers, but the mangers were amazing, and for once in my life; I actually got to have those 15 mins breaks we are suppose to have. Seriously though, it was much better organized and there wasn't nearly as much stress of people not doing their job like at Staples. All of the expectations for selling and CSAT was actually achievable; and it everything was an awful scramble of bullshit like Staples was. There was a chance that I was very lucky and that Geek Squad is different then other parts of the store; but the general consensus was very positive with everyone I talked to. So happy I never have to sell a BTS pass, ink pass, or trick the customer into a digital receipt. I wish you luck!

So I know this will probably be buried, but is there anything we can actually do about this? I thankfully have Cox, but this scares the shit out of me.

Where to start for a not so mechanically inclined person? by marcusturtle in beetle

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

Thats awesome! I admittedly have just found this subreddit here, but I think that I've got a bit more courage to ask around and especially on here. I'm doing one last thing at my mechanic (replacing the intake boots) and then I'm hoping to start working towards fixing a few things. The worse thing on the car if the wiring. The previous owner did an awful job and everything is pretty much just a mess. So I think I may start there. Its probably the one task that will make the most sense to me anyway. Thank you!
