I recently lost out on some work (big retouching job) due to AI, when the client came back to me to fix the huge mess, it turned out the job had just been farmed out to India by the ‘AI’ company. They weren’t even using a recent Photoshop version so were actually using less ‘AI’ than any pro retoucher would.

There are relatively small buggy/wheelbarrow ones that you walk the grid pattern with.

Yeah from my experience mothers-to-be assume they’re being asked to be induced as a standard procedure so the hospital can organise their schedule better. Not because of a particular medical necessity.

Isn’t going overdue super common and not necessarily anything to worry about, saying your baby WILL die if you go overdue seems wild to me.

Yeah I can see why they’d not implement it, not even that interested in AR, it’s just a nice QOL feature that I’d miss.

Sad about the monochrome passthrough but otherwise pretty hyped for more VR hardware. The Index was a disappointment to me so glad to see it’s more in line with the Quest 3, especially the controllers. They look perfect.

Deflagration-to-detonation transitions are pretty cool but my all-time favorite would be acoustic strobes.

Add a Ligne Roset Togo orange sofa cluster and it’s perfect.

Just a heads up in case you haven’t updated firmware on your 980. I wasn’t aware of the problem and lost my c drive a few months back.

Hold up so theyre banning flippers and portapacks etc?

Drum of Swedish Ammonium Perchlorate.

Couldn’t get into the main game. In VR, however, just exploring was an unforgettable experience.

UK. Phone local GP, no appointments available for ~3 weeks, maybe get a call back appointment in 2 weeks if I’m lucky. Alternative is to phone every morning between 0830-0900 and either not get through or be told there are still no appointments available.

I have found walk in pharmacists to be well educated (better than many GPs?!) and available without appointment so they’re usually my first port of call.

I know a few producers, the only one who is full time doesn’t really need the money. The rest mostly do muaic tuition or similar, seems like a good match if you know an instrument(s).

Tasty beak?!

I know a remote worker in Iran, went dark for a few days this week. Apparently they can’t call the UK, no internet, ended up relaying messages via a friend in Brazil via sat phone.

Taking an international flight tomorrow, Friday 13th. My wife is in 11A. Not sure how to feel about this.

Got accused of setting fire to the school. At the time of the fire, I was miles away, taking a music exam, after getting official permission, and being picked up and taken there by my mum. All very easily verifiable. Didn’t stop them from ‘interviewing’ me for 3 hours.
