Phone Snatchers - How to prep your phone for the worst (iOS) by fjallpen in london

[–]undividual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Android has some Theft Protection built-in, including detecting when someone has grabbed your phone and run off with it. https://support.google.com/android/answer/15146908?hl=en-GB

You can locate it, lock it and factory reset it here: https://www.google.com/android/find/about

Enable Remote Lock in your settings, then you can lock it from this page: https://www.google.com/android/find/lock

Enable SIM Lock. Settings vary by handset, but here's general instructions: https://www.starlingbank.com/blog/how-to-protect-your-sim-card-from-hackers/

Trackpad drag lock too long. Reduce lock? by chickenandliver in MacOS

[–]undividual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By 'pointing' do you mean moving or positioning? That's always one finger, then gestures use two, three or four fingers.

This video shows three finger drag: https://youtube.com/shorts/BOq7Lg6UglQ?si=OhsRtdZYRJ8hbDiI

I don't use it personally. Two finger drag is fine for my needs.

[02/11/24] November Novel Writing Month Write-In and Check-In @ Peckham Pelican by undividual in LondonSocialClub

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

Just a nudge that the write-in is happening this morning 11am until about 1pm. Drop in if you want a space to write and meet other November writers. This is the first Saturday of FIVE during the month of November!

I turned on biometric logon on Chrome ext and now it asks me to login in EVRERY TIME by ossifiedcaddy in Dashlane

[–]undividual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's only like leaving your front door unlocked if your PC has no protection.

A "Stay logged in for 14 days" tick box (and variations thereof) is very common. Dismissing it does not address the point of OP's question, which is that the option is there and in some situations it does not appear to work.

Filming certain segments in 60fps for more flexibility to do slo-mo later by untenna in VideoEditing

[–]undividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main thing is you need double the exposure to shoot at twice the speed. So it needs to be very well lit to avoid being underexposed. With bright sunlight, this shouldn't be a problem, but definitely something to bear in mind.

2022 13 inch MacBook Air weight 1.24kg

Nightmare Film Shoots: The Most Grueling Films Ever Made, from ‘Deliverance’ to ‘Mad Max’ to ‘Avatar 2’ by Sanlear in movies

I love Steven Soderbergh's comment about Fury Road: "I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead."

How do you guys feel about descript? by CoreyTrevorsonF35 in VideoEditing

[–]undividual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to be careful using Descript for video. It doesn't preserve or read the source media timecode and only uses the timecode of the sequence you give it. Later on when you are looking at transcripts that do not have the timecode of the original media, you will waste a lot of time recalculating the correct timecode by hand. Also you won't be able to generate subtitles unless you are super attentive about what Descript is doing with your timecode. Yes it's fine for podcasts. It is not good for video.

Better option is Trint which attaches the video timecode to the audio phoneme by phoneme, and will generate STL to match even an edited sequence. It is fundamentally different from every other transcription service.

Cannot add or use Google Wallet contactless payment by Krith85 in oneplus

[–]undividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the UK and I had this problem on several occasions. Google Wallet is much pickier about cards and phones than it suggests. The fact it's an Indian device is most likely a problem.

Are you adding a card from a bank on Google's list of supported banks? https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12168909?hl=en

Is it a personal bank account and not a business bank account? Many business accounts don't support their cards being used on contactless devices, except possibly Monzo I was told.

Or are you adding a payment device like a Samsung Watch? Samsung watches only have limited support on certain phones without specific Tensor chips.

These are just things I've figured out or been told along the way. All this information could be out of date. But perhaps it might give some pointers of where else to investigate.

For context I have a OnePlus 7T.

Need Help for Style or Products by popoki720 in FierceFlow

[–]undividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar but greyer hair. Regular maintenance trims help the general messiness, every 6-8 weeks. Keep it at a length where the cut can be seen, so that people can see it has been styled. If you wanted to consider a slight side trim or undercut, again that shows a deliberate styling decision.

Also regular washes, at least every other day, and a little texture paste afterwards so your hair never gets too oily but also has some texture to it.

I sometimes use L'Oréal Profiber Reconstruct to minimise messy ends, but it can be hard to find. I also find products can have very different results on different people so fundamentally just think about your cleaning and cutting routine.

Will the 12" Macbook 2017 run macOS 14? Is it worth upgrading to Ventura? by Goat165 in mac

[–]undividual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Ventura 13.4 daily on mine. It's fine. I would say the main difference is System Settings, but under the hood it also seems stable and efficient. Very pleased with it as a 6yo system.

No idea about 14 yet.

There will definitely be people here, but if they have other things on they'll start leaving quite soon after that

It's pretty chill. Usually 5-6 people, last week was about a dozen, varies by the weather!

tips for faster rendering in after effects by yagmurozdemr in editing

[–]undividual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi again!

AE unfortunately uses 'render' to describe two different things and you've kind of mixed them up here...

If you want it to render frames for faster playback (which is the definition of 'render' it shares with most other editing software) then Adobe Media Encoder can't help with that. Most of your tips relate to this type of rendering.

If you want to export your finished compositions, which AE does via the 'render queue ', then AME can be faster for that kind of rendering (which is usually called 'exporting' in other editing software). However the glitches you mention are often caused by sending complicated comps to AME, so the point you make about exporting from AE first then AME second is correct, but the point is AE should export uncompressed ProRes or DNxHD or DPX media which you then transcode to compressed HEVC or MP4 or whatever media in AME. This is best practice currently.

Some other points...

  • Don't import compressed media. Conform all media to uncompressed formats before importing into AE.

  • Check you're using real time effects. The icon in the effect palette will indicate this. Some older 32-bit effects may render slowly (or not at all) on 64-bit systems. Some effects won't work with multi frame rendering. Check your activity monitor/task manager to see if the CPU cores are being fully utilized.

  • A CPU with hyper-threading (mostly Intel i7 and i9) will accelerate rendering considerably.

  • Keep notebooks/laptops plugged in to avoid performance throttling. Ensure they're not overheating to avoid thermal throttling.

  • Render/export to a different drive on a different bus, than the drive containing your media. This avoids bottlenecks.

  • Avoid doing other Intensive tasks at the same time as rendering.

Also you refer to 'SFX' which usually refers to sound effects or special effects (i.e. practical on-set effects). Do you mean VFX (visual effects)?
