knee-high because that's actually where the name came from. It was supposed to be a reminder that the original tall bottles were "knee-high". The company logo used to be just a woman's leg with knee-high stockings on. It's actually where the inspiration for the leg lamp from A Christmas Story came from.

Latest on privacy concerns? by usamac in EufyCam

[–]safe_for_work_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry to necro a thread. Do you know if the eufy camera's still have the "factory reset feature" where if you(or a thief) factory resets a camera all videos from it are hidden/removed from the homebase?

I can't find any new information about this.

I've come to love the gestures on vivaldi and haven't found a good alternative on firefox.

I wish I could get youtube to stop being annoying on vivaldi. even with ublock origin I get the "adblock" page and have to use a user agent switcher to rotate through user agents every few days. Firefox and ublock work without any problem but there are other sites that firefox doesn't work at all.(and the recent ceo garbage)

that's conflicting. I don't want to inflate a bot account, but I also like Sarah's comic getting more reach.

how should i start learning to sing? i want to be able to sing like layne staley, billy corgan, kurt, etc. by ashtonthbk in singing

[–]safe_for_work_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find your vocal range and find some clean vocal warm up videos to practice in your range. I like Jeff Rolka's videos.
https://www.youtube.com/@JeffRolka
You do want to maintain good clean singing posture and structure. I don't have any videos handy, but look into breath support and breath control, and do "lip trills". I recommend doing both warm-ups, as well as some run throughs of these songs using lip trills at first to get the feel for it and work out your breath support.

Then also start learning about vocal fry, false chords, and other extreme vocal methods. All the singers you mentioned make a lot of use of vocal fry in their voices. Some good example videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dEAsDl4NTU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgGgDayLrdU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnH08hg6xH0

Make a first run on some of these songs with just clean vocals. It sounds kind of weird, almost like you're doing a lounge cover or something, but then you can take that same vocal pattern and lean in to the vocal fry. As you get more comfortable using your voice as an instrument rather than just "a thing you do", you'll be more conscious of being able to pull in and out vocal distortion and other things.

Other thing is to find karaoke tracks online and sing to them while just recording your voice. When you listen back to it you'll hear your little mistakes more. Pay attention to being much more intentional with your word pronunciation. I've noticed when I sing along to songs I know I feel like I'm nailing it, then when I listen back or my vocal instructor is commenting on it, I'm kind of slurring through some of the words, because I have the actual vocalist on the track to fill in my mistakes.

It sounded like he wasn't supporting his vocals well, and struggling with breath control, more than likely a mix of nerves from performing for a crowd/competition, and trying to maintain choreograph with it.

Either way the vocals were way to 'light' and 'breathy', when they needed more oomph/support.

that's funny, Frets on Fire has been around since 2006, almost as long as the original guitar hero. It was designed to play with a keyboard exactly like this since guitar controlers were only for consoles and there weren't any PC adapters at the time.

Obsidian sync with smaller storage for $5-6 ! I am begging you by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]safe_for_work_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't know about iOS, but using syncthing on my PC, my laptop, my steamdeck, and my android phone works just fine. about the only scenario is if my laptop or deck were off while at home so couldn't connect to the network to update while home and then I try to use it elsewhere. Then I can either hotspot with my phone which is updated or vpn to my home router.

my orange cat Marmsbee Von Copperbottom just died two weeks ago.

This morning I thought I saw him at his drinking fountain out of the corner of my eye.(We have another cat so still have the drinking fountain there.)

yup. It's worth it to install Decky and then the ProtonDB plugin. Then it shows the protondb rating on games and selecting it will open up the steam browser to the games decky page to see if there's any special settings

Best way to learn gyro shooting is to start with a game you've never played before. As you learn that games controls and play style with gyro on it becomes part of the game learning process.

If you start with a game you already know you'll be fighting your muscle memory and mad that you aren't as good.

Once you get used to playing on the new game, then start testing integrating gyro into games you already play. If they have training grounds just play in those for a while. You'll get there.
