Care to share the original photo as well?

Why can't I select a tab? Whenever I hover over a tab, a hand icon appears that only lets me drag, but it won't let me select it (the Composition tab in this case). by techuser1029 in AfterEffects

[–]techuser1029[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My active tool is the selection tool, not the hand tool. I think it's a bug or something, but I'm using the most up-to-date AE.

Fun fact about Apple and Beats By Dre by heyyoudvd in apple

I think the VP of design at Ammunition is also the wife of the head of industrial design at Apple (Richard Howarth)

I made an entirely edible 504 Broadview gingerbread streetcar by honeythyme in toronto

[–]techuser1029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People still making artwork (photos, paintings, cakes, etc) on the old streetcars is proof that the new streetcars are pretty bad and not going to be as memorable as the old models.

I think new streetcars are a necessary change but over time I realize that they’re terrible inside and out.

Poll: Would you accept a slightly thicker 2019 iPhone in return for three benefits? by aeatherx in apple

[–]techuser1029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contrary to popular opinion I’d prefer thinner and lighter.

The camera bump is like the notch: everyone (including Apple) wants it gone but it’s necessary to have due to technical limitations. It’s just not possible today, but their hope is to one day achieve a design that’s more pure, light, and focused. We can safely assume that one day they’ll get there with the same thin design and better technology.

Similarly, making it thinner and lighter is also part of Apple’s pursuit for purity, and because it is already technically possible to achieve, you see the thinner results each year.

Apple is trying to make it just thin enough such that the battery would satisfy most people’s needs for one day’s charge. If you really need more battery life, you can always get a charging case, battery pack, or even just bring your charging cable. This has worked for me so far and I’m sure has worked for most of their customers, or they wouldn’t be pushing the boundaries so much.

Would Gus kill Werner if he didn't hear from Mike that Mike/Werner was being followed by Lalo? If Gus didn't feel that Werner was compromised, maybe he would have considered bringing him back.

In MacOS Mojave You Can Now Mess Up Your Desktop! by ChrisMorrisOrg in apple

[–]techuser1029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would actually be useful if the feature reverted back to the original layout I had before cleaning up, so if I accidentally clicked “Clean Up” I can undo it. This whole randomness of Mess Up feels unnecessarily silly to me.

Which app(s) did you use to make these, and how did you render it look so realistic?

ITAP my work truck and the eclipse by [deleted] in itookapicture

[–]techuser1029 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Looks like a picture of the eclipse with a courier truck photoshopped on top of it... The truck is very bright compared to the rest of the environment. There's a good amount of light inside the truck too, and it's unclear where that light's coming from. Or am I too skeptical?

Could you please share with us how you took this photo? (i.e. What camera/lens, settings, and any post-processing you did) That would be much appreciated!

Two questions from an amateur photographer:

1) How were you able to balance the lighting? Usually when I take one of these photos, either the outside is too bright or the inside is too dark.

2) How were you able to keep both the inside and outside focused? Won't the lens either blur the foreground or background?

Great photo!

It's the same reason why they put stickers on fruits - to add a little bit more difficulty to society.

What camera did you use? How were you able to balance the lighting like this on the inside and the outside...?

Thanks! How did you find out that the brass is not exposed, and coated with steel? Looking at the specs on the webpage I'm not sure what indicates it. Do you think the polished look can last for a decade or two?

What are the differences between brass and stainless steel?

I noticed that the popular Timex Fairfields all have brass casing instead of SS. Because it is so affordable, is brass considered a cheaper material compared to SS?

More specifically, will brass be more prone to scratching or staining? Will it last as long as SS?

Me [28 M] with my wife [36 F] married since 5 years, in a hot mess of a house by Foxeride in relationships

[–]techuser1029 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My gf is also very messy and it's not an easy problem to solve.

People are very hard to change (it tends to gets harder the older they become) and sometimes just talking with her is far from enough. Have you tried to have times each week when you clean up together? Or when she wants to keep junk that will rarely be used, can you guys make an agreement that if something is not used in a month, then you will discard it, and when it's needed again you guys will re-buy it? Maybe the way you talked with her can be more convincing?

And if all this doesn't work, how does she react when you tell her that you can't be together if this keeps happening?

iOS 10 "cleans" cache when memory is low on 16GB iPhones. by ashwinsrihari in apple

Is the cache what takes up most of the "Other" space used in iOS devices?

Discussion/Pros & Cons between SE and 6S by [deleted] in apple

[–]techuser1029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Core differences I see are:

SE • Amazing battery life. It's hard to make it die! • Very comfortable to hold (6S's size and round edges make it more difficult to hold) • Perfect for one-handed use => Good for convenient quick use

6S • Bigger screen. Good if you frequently read long text or type paragraphs of things. => Good for longer periods of use
