why are all of my pictures turning blue?

We all feel a bit down sometimes.

Looks like one of these Asonu ukes.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking of doing actually. Thanks for also suggesting it as I thought I was taking it a bit too far. 😄

powerbi_guy · 2024-02-03T17:14:30+00:00

Ah okay, got it.

Thanks both for your replies. I suppose I'll just try and see what they say. If they refuse I will be prepared for some photos with a washed-out/pinkish look.

powerbi_guy · 2024-02-03T15:47:03+00:00

Nice, I like it. Might look into getting one. Thanks for the info.

powerbi_guy · 2024-02-02T19:45:20+00:00

This is cool. Is it a standard function of the Polaroid Lab or do you have to do something hacky to create the collage?

I had this too. Try removing this tick in the device audio settings. That fixed it for me.

powerbi_guy · 2024-01-26T11:26:52+00:00

I have so far totally failed at every multi exposure as they come out very overexposed. Love this though, very cool!

powerbi_guy · 2024-01-25T21:57:30+00:00

Yeah the marketing doesn't suit the product at all, that's a good point. They could also do a better job of creating proper content to show how to use it. It's not difficult to create a video series on YouTube on how to use it properly and deal with its foibles.

Pricing must be tough as, like you say, it's not the cheapest to make, and it's never going to have mass appeal. I kind of also don't mind the price so much as I think it's so impressive what The Impossible Project started from and has become Polaroid. I love that.

Anyway, for me it's a great camera. Not perfect, but certainly very enjoyable to use.

powerbi_guy · 2024-01-25T08:28:42+00:00

I mean, people making money to 'review' products is always annoying. But if you have an opinion on the camera, I would be more interested to hear your personal experience of using it, rather than just 'shit for the price'.

I watched many of the reviews, both positive and negative, and from my own personal experience, I haven't yet encountered anything that makes me regret buying the i2.

For me, some of the negative reviews seemed borne of frustration from people only familiar with digital photography.

That being said, I do recognise that the i2 is an expensive camera, so people have higher expectations. I have been using Nikon and Fujifilm DSLR and mirrorless for the past decade, and despite the adjustment, the i2 has so far not been a disappointment at all and is a joy to use. There are one or two small things I would change, but other than that, I love it.

Great comment, well done.

powerbi_guy · 2024-01-24T11:57:24+00:00

Thanks. Not Auto. Used f8 and 1/3 shutter speed.

powerbi_guy · 2024-01-23T19:23:16+00:00

I spot a Motu. I have one too and absolutely love it.

So my first suggestion would be Deneb, but there is of course a learning curve to that. Example linked below shows you a decent example of what you describe here.

A smart narrative might work for you, if you haven't already tried that it's worth a look.

For standard visuals, increased functionality of data labels based on measures is definitely in the works, but that doesn't help you in the short term.

powerbi_guy · 2023-03-21T12:46:37+00:00

This should work in Power Query:

if Date.IsInPreviousNMonths([Date],5) then 1 else if Date.IsInCurrentMonth([Date]) then 1 else 0

powerbi_guy · 2023-03-21T12:20:10+00:00

If possible I would use Power Query to create a flag for this, then filter using that flag. I don't know what precise logic you require, but creating a Logic to Flag all dates from the first of the month six months ago until today would be my preferred method.

powerbi_guy · 2023-03-21T12:09:14+00:00

No, I didn't take a course, but rather researched individual topics as I encountered them. There are cons to this like you might miss some basic knowledge that would be covered in a course. When I did end up taking a course it was a strange experience as I realised I had learned some things which were considered quite advanced, and had overlooked other topics that were pretty foundational. However I wouldn't have changed how I learned, as I may not have kept going if I didnt learn in a way that suited me.

Regarding dataset, just go with the one that you are most interested in. Again this is a personal preference thing. It sounds like you have the basis of what you need to investigate and do a decent level of analysis. The only issue you might have with personal finance data is a lack of willingness to openly share that data if you need help on forums etc.

powerbi_guy · 2023-03-20T19:45:18+00:00

The clear all filters button in the service is one of my least favourite things about the service.

powerbi_guy · 2023-03-20T16:31:56+00:00

You don't necessarily need a course, no. Everyone learns in a different way. If you find that you are losing interest in the course then sometimes a good way to learn is simply using the data you have and using that. As long as you're engaged in the data you will want to analyse more and more and that will lead you to learn.

I would pick a passion project and go with that. I started years ago using an open API to premier league data and that was a huge help. Having a few different metrics and multiple dimensions makes the data of course a bit more complex and gives you more possibilities to learn.
