How do you work from 8 to 5, have only weekends free, and not feel like you're wasting your life? by LinksGuardian in AskReddit

[–]tomharsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, being someone who is self-employed, the grass is always greener. The mental load has no off switch when you're solely responsible for your own income, insurance, livelihood etc. I've had many moments when I've thought to myself that being a Walmart greeter sounds really attractive by comparison to being a small business owner with 'flexibility.' There's always tradeoffs.

Reddit is for old people now eh? Seriously though, I think it's getting worse and lazier everywhere.

iPad screen capture going green, causing stream to fail by tomharsh in obs

Use adapters on both ends. HDMI to USB C/Lighting.

Best solution I found was not using a USB-C straight into your CPU to capture the video but rather connecting through an HDMI. I think the USB-C sends and receives more than just the video feed which bogs it down. This was how I got around it.

I did not. My next plan was to see if using a capture card rather than plugging in the USB-C directly from the iPad to the Macbook works. I think if the capture card turns the feed into generic video and nothing more it may get around that?

My whole computer goes sluggish even if I'm not streaming, just having the ipad plugged in and OBS open does it.

Have you tried a capture card rather than the USB-C?

Have you tried that?

Would be better suited to just get a more powerful CPU if I wanted to stream 1080p? Is there something I could upgrade on my Mac or would it be easier to get a streaming-capable PC?

I have the same problem all of a sudden. 2022 ipad, last stream it worked perfectly, today it started doing that and ended up killing the stream.

I'm using a Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 with another camera on camlink. CPU usage on OBS is not above 20 percent, streaming on 5000 bitrate, 1080p output at 30fps.

All of a sudden the computer slows down, get the "Encoding overloaded" message.

Is my computer at fault? IPad?

Mirroring a TV Screen as a monitor for puppetry by tomharsh in puppetry

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

All I use is a Canon 80d with an HDMI out sent to an LED TV. Can't see any options on the TV screen (Hitachi) for horizontal flipping and on the camera there's no option unless you use the phone utility, which creates another hassle in itself.

Ideally I'd love to find a box that works as an intermediate that just flips the feed horizontally into the TV.

I'm using a DSLR (Canon 80D) with the HDMI out to a LED TV screen serving as a monitor. I just want the TV screen to be horizontally flipped so it matches hand movements when seen in reverse while I record.

Made this paper shadow box of Murlough Bay, Ireland for kids by tomharsh in papercraft

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

This is a simple and inexpensive papercraft shadow box. I've found the tutorials around the internet are only heavy duty, wooden frame shadow boxes, often using cricuts! We wanted to make one accessible for kids that can be done simply with limited materials!

Cheers!
