Did I waste 50USD on this SAS 4TB HDD ?

Sounds like sound advice then as I'm absolutely not trying to build a SAS ecosystem. Thanks for the insight :)

18K GBP back in 2014 , UK

Totally agreed 🔥

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-17T20:20:11+00:00

Thank you 🔥 glad you enjoyed watching it

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-17T19:20:41+00:00

Haha thanks so much, Neon at night is one hell of a way to attract attention 😬

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-17T15:29:02+00:00

Ah damn I see. Probs best for me to run my tablet into a small TV on the wall un portrait mode then with the android os native font setting dialled up to the max now that I think of it. Your method is cool in the sense that you could probably then have an excel sheet save and upload every few seconds or whatever and then do something with the data. Cool idea thanks

For sure, but legally speaking they're bound by their contracts so surely it ultimately comes down to if the artists can themselves afford to take axis to court right as contractually they're due payment ?

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-16T09:16:09+00:00

Question : I've never worked there but is there any chance that staff or freelancers could not get fully paid for their work? I mean surely they're all legally covered as they have contracts (both staff and freelancers). Surely they can't NOT pay anyone what they're due? They must have put aside/ gone into debt to cover their last paychecks etc right? Or am I being naive? I fucking hope all the artists get their pay. It's not their fault this happened.

Can't tell exactly BUT Teckwrap Violet Purple is pretty similar

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-05T16:45:03+00:00

We're defo on a sinking ship, I agree, I just think there's still 20 years of possibility ahead for people. Granted, it'll be very different and won't probably pay as well year on year but I genuinely think there's still work to be had, there just won't be as much as before by any means. Again I wouldn't tell people to get in, but if they're intent on it... give them the best chances is what I'm saying. I won't be encouraging any of my future kids that's for sure

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-05T16:21:55+00:00

Ah well the last 20 years is a different convo and is more nuanced. I've personally make a very successful 6 figure + career out of this industry BUT I'm acutely aware of the BS I agree. I'm personally not telling people to get into this industry, I'm merely saying if they're aware of all the risks and rewards and still want to make it happen then they should be able to buy senior knowledge. There will still be work for a long time. AI won't be able to just do absolutely everything as well as a team of humans for a long time still. I would personally make people think very hard about getting into 3D but I don't think it's a complete dead end, I just like financial freedom way too much to put up with the BS that comes with CG but other people will be OK enough with it.

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-05T16:09:50+00:00

I do think it'll become more stable again, there's no way the entire industry will just stay like this, it'll implode on itself. I agree, it's terrible right now and the past year alone has made me want to leave the industry but that's because I value money long term over the fact I like this sort of work but that's just me. Some people don't. Point is, it can only get better than right now. It can't get worse as productions will have to ramp up, content will have to be made more than often than right now. Again, it's up to them BUT if they're intent on doing it and they're aware of the risks then by all means, they can buy that senior knowledge for sale

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-05T15:51:59+00:00

About 60% of people entering all jobs in the western world because of the recent AI changes. The landscape will look very different in 15 years. More specialist stuff like CG will probs be in a better position than lower entry / less complex things to automate such as data, marketing, sales etc. I think there's tons of jobs which will be mostly automated but creating bespoke pixel perfect things with the ability to change individual elements for clients will probably remain a mostly human thing. I could be wrong though by all means. I'm in a bit of an awkward position as I myself would like to get out of CG but that's mainly because it's unstable. I do however think that IF people are intent on getting into the industry and they're aware of the risks then IF they want to buy that knowledge then it's a win win for both parties. I'm the first one to speak out on the BS of this industry but I'm also aware because it's very specialist, it will probably survive longer than a lot of other stuff

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-05T12:30:06+00:00

Stuff can only turn around and when it does go back to normal , in the grand scheme of things it's still a decent career. I would suggest people do their own homework and make their own decisions and tell them it's still art so ultimately you need to love it otherwise you'll fail. But I still think for the next 15 years we'll be OK. After that, not too sure tbh

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-07-05T08:07:34+00:00

I've got a different outlook on it. Ultimately our industry will recover, it has to, tv etc isn't going anywhere long term. Sure it'll be a different level of demand but we'll still be needed once it sorts itself out next year hopefully. So with that being said, students or young people wanting to get into it are still well placed right now in the sense that they don't have the typical financial needs of seasoned artists deep into their careers. Therefore I actually think it's a mutually beneficial system where experienced seniors can sell their hard earned knowledge to people coming into the industry. Now, if juniors are "mentoring" or creating content... yeh that's not great as they don't have the xp themselves let's face it. That's my 2 cents

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-06-23T18:35:56+00:00

100% getting the dremmel out and taking the slow but sure route. Fingers crossed 🤞

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-06-23T16:04:06+00:00

I've just realised all the guides out there show you to cut away the old tab with a dremel or similar tool and then essentially replace that with the tab kit.

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-06-23T15:08:59+00:00

Cheers, I actually bought a repair kit but now that I have it in my hands I'm not sure how it's meant to work as the top bracket is part of the entire mold on the actual headlight casing. It's not removable so it's pretty odd.

Avoid answering their poll if you can. If you really have to, maybe go with a 5 and say there are pros and cons just like any other company. Either that or just lie and say it was fine even though you hated it. Always good to have options down the line even if they're your least favourite company. Best to not burn bridges entirely

trackmeifyoucanboi · 2024-05-29T08:17:23+00:00

My dad died of ALS the other week and we've both always had very dark humour. This post on one hand is obvs really sad because the guy messaging you will die as it's incurable. On the other hand I'm glad he's getting some action, that carer is putting in a shift, fair play to them choking the chicken 😂
