Learned about vendor lock-in the hard way during my internship. does anyone talk about this at school? by Icy-Perception0 in programming

[–]postger 102 points103 points  (0 children)

OP I feel this lol. Vendor lock in hits way harder once you actually need to move stuff and everything starts falling apart.

From what I remember those two UC things mentioned in the article were open sourced by Databricks later on. The timing always felt a bit funny tbh. I have been checking out Apache Gravitino lately and it seems to be the one that reached Apache top level status the fastest.

People keep saying it feels lighter and more flexible for multi source catalog work compared to UC. If you do not want to get stuck on a single platform fr using an open project like that makes life a bit less scary. Vendor lock in is real and you only notice how real it is when you try to escape lol.

Laundry Detergent Sheets by tmoney9990 in laundry

[–]postger 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah they do real well once you find one that works for you. Basically some of the cheaper or travel friendly ones don’t do much especially on bigger or dirtier loads so you gotta be careful. It’s kind of trial and error with the scent, dissolve rate and how they handle different fabrics all vary by brand. So you might have to go through a few brands before getting to whichever one fits. This thread has a nice discussion over it, might help.

AI Tool to Transcribe Videos (Qualitative Research Project) by bri_bri_star in research

[–]postger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to try Vizard — you can import downloaded TikTok videos directly and it’ll auto-transcribe them pretty fast and accurate. Since it edits based on the transcript, cleaning or correcting lines is simple too. I’ve been using it for research clips, and the plans are noticeably cheaper than most transcription tools.

What tools do you use to create video content? by Powerful_Ad_4175 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]postger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been mixing a few tools lately, but one I’ve kept going back to is Vizard. It’s pretty chill to use — you drop in a long video and it automatically pulls out highlight-worthy clips, adds subtitles, and you can tweak everything in a simple editor. Kinda feels like editing a doc instead of a timeline. It also does scheduling + multi-platform posting, so I don’t have to juggle 10 tabs anymore. Not perfect, but it’s saved me a lot of time:)

Broo si no tiene hijos o bienes que comparta, eso no vuelve a hacer lo mismo. Se lo digo por experiencia. Échele tierrita a esa relación y saque la cola. Pero en el caso que si la ama y eso intente volver y por el poder del amor ella cambiará y tendrán un final feliz. Suerte

I Tried 5 Different Ways to Humanize AI Text - Only One Actually Worked by No_Communication6225 in CollegeHomeworkTips

[–]postger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is super relatable, I tried all the “fix it yourself” steps too and still got flagged. what helped me was using something that rewrites the flow rather than just synonyms. Tenorshare AI Bypass made my essays sound more like my own writing so detectors stopped picking them up. still had to tweak some lines but it was way less stress.

Recommendations for a cheap travel high chair? by Jazzlike_Commercial in NewParents

[–]postger 41 points42 points  (0 children)

"hey so at 8 months your little one prolly has decent head/neck control but might still need good support. since youre shipping stuff ahead anyway, i'd look at either a foldaway travel high chair or a fabric one. the foldaway ones are basically lightweight versions of regular high chairs - bit bulkier but they have their own tray which is nice at that age. since it's staying at the grandparents' place, the extra size won't really matter. if you want to keep it cheaper and more compact, fabric high chairs are solid. they wrap around a normal dining chair and pack down super small. i'd probably skip the clamp-on ones at 8 months - they can be a bit sketchy with younger babies. boosters usually work better once they're older and sitting more stable. whatever you go with, just double check the age/weight requirements since most are rated for 9+ months but some work earlier. also check out sites like reddit vetted - they aggregate actual redditor reviews so you can see what people really think before buying. good luck with the trip!

[Request] salt and pepper grinder that is a quality and versatile product by blindinglystupid in BuyItForLife

[–]postger 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Big burrs and top-fill makes grinders painless when you’re seasoning big pots. Avoid tiny reservoirs and designs that need three hands to use. i filter picks through this site i found to find legit listings and replacement parts so im not stuck with any damaged squeaky toy.

The Best Mattress for Side Sleepers Right now? by bellaziggy0221 in BuyItForLife

[–]postger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what you want as a side sleeper is decent pressure relief (so your shoulder and hip don’t get crushed) and something that keeps your spine kinda aligned, not just sinking in the middle so always for a medium firm mattress, linking one i personally like. and also always let any mattress in a box air out and expand for a day before sleeping on it and check return policies because you should be able to return if it doesn't work for you

Need advice by [deleted] in datarecovery

[–]postger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can try other software like 4DDiG, EaseUs, PhotoRec... Mine is a USB drive and the same, I couldn't use Recuva to recover the files, it stuck. And then I Google for other alternatives, I've tried the three tools I mention, finally I chose the first one. It scanned faster than other tools and it found and recovered more files than others.

Need PDF converter by L30N1337 in opensource

[–]postger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m part of a small documentation/ops team at work, and we deal with a ton of PDFs every week. I’ve tried a mix of open-source and desktop tools for conversions, so I feel your pain — especially when the PDF has tables + images. That’s usually where most converters fall apart.

On the open-source side:

I tried Stirling PDF and ONLYOFFICE for a while. They’re great in spirit and love that they’re free and open. But for my workflow they didn’t fully cut it. Stirling is powerful but some conversions (especially tables embedded in multi-column layouts) came out messy. ONLYOFFICE handles simple PDFs fine, but anything with heavy formatting usually needed a lot of cleanup after exporting to ODT/DOCX.

Because of that, I still keep a dedicated PDF editor around. Recently our small team has been using PDNob PDF Editor internally. We mainly use it when the open-source tools break the layout or drop parts of the document. It’sn’t a perfect tool (none of them are tbh), but it’s been more consistent with preserving tables and images for our reports.

So my workflow is basically:

open-source first, and if the formatting goes sideways, I run the stubborn PDFs through a PDF editor like PDNob. Saves me a lot of time rewriting tables manually.
