    Do they have these in the wild in Tennesse? 

     We have a lot of black bears and a few bobcats. They can mess you about as well as a tiger.

    Yeah, 'cause dead is dead!  It's how you get that way that matters.surprise

    Today's reminder to keep any and all liquids well away from your electronics! 

    Spilled a full glass of water all over the desk last week. I got off lucky, all things considered, due to a notebook and a stack of papers that blocked the resulting tidal wave from spilling over the edge of the desk and onto the desktop below. My keyboard wasn't as lucky- half of it got thoroughly soaked either from above or below, resulting some hilarious-but-not-very-useful keyboard responses ("Oh, did you push 'b'? That's '8' now, sorry. Also '8' is still '8,' too."). Drying it out didn't help, so into the dumpster it went.

    (TBF I was looking for a new keyboard anyway... perhaps my subconscious decided to take action?)

    My reminder is that even smart watches need screen protectors!

    Spend a little extra and get a mechanical keyboard cause some of those can be cleaned with water. Running them under the faucet to get all the grime out of it. At least if a key goes bad in them you only need to replace the switch ($12 for a back or 10) and not a $200 keyboard

    I feel like a failure.

    I think I got potentially good news.  I am going to be returned some stuff either this week or next.  It may or may not include my computer!  I won' t know what is included in the stuff until it comes in.  Hopefully I will get it?

    Almost completely programmable. You can set up light patterns to coincide with whatever app your using so you know all the shortcuts. Several macro options to set up for particular apps or different functions. made of lightweight aircraft aluminum so, pretty indestructible. You can change out all the switches if you like a heaver push or a lighter push easily. East to clean but the drawback is there is more room for grime to get into the tray but easily cleanable with a blower. You can get low profile that the space is a lot smaller but is still bigger that the regular keyboards. (aesthetics) You can customize almost every key to be a different color with 16mill color options. Razer's mechanical keyboards are top notice but personally I stay away from them because they solder their switches in so it makes you have to send them in to fix and you can't do it yourself. Corsair is probably the best you can get and their switches are readably available to swap out. I was looking at Logitech's mechanical keyboards and they are a bit cheaper, in the $160's and also have all the same features and changeable switches that are a bit cheaper. The Logitech's do go as low as $85 for a mechanical keyboard but obviously less features. Sticking Key? No problem. Pop off the key cap, pull out the switch, pop the new one in, put a dab of grease and put the key cap back on. No more stuck key. You could of course try and clean it but why do that when the switches are so inexpensive. You can buy them x10, 40, 65, 105 and the 105 is $40. The x10 is $8-$10. You do the 105 if your going to replace the whole keyboard to a different switch.

    So glad it doesn't sing the alphabet song or Baby Shark song over and over!  If you haven't heard of the baby shark song, consider yourself lucky and don't try to find it!

    Here's a suggestion.  Try programming the keyboard to act like a digital marquee and have each letter/number/symbol scroll across the marquee lights playing out text.enlightened  Wheee...smiley

    My complaint for the morning.  The Cinema4D Bridge is barely functional at best, but is still advertised as a compatible product on store pages when it's really only good for static props and a varying selection of Genesis-era figures (Minus clothing/accessories, which refuses to export properly most of the time)  and Morph export is hit-and-miss.  Dragon 3 for example,  about 85% of the morphs export and the rest come in 'empty' and I have to do myself later, along with the usual jazz of weighting issues and joints being all aligned improperly.  I just want to be able to properly use the stuff I buy waah...

     

    Still better than re-rigging everything from scratch (Which I kinda have to do with clothing and accessories, since the majority of them export without any weighting whatsoever)  or worse yet MAKING everything from scratch  ooof.  I hear others can't get it to load at all, so I consider myself fortunate that I can at least get most stuff to export out, even if the results are rarely ideal.

    But since I rarely use human figures anyway.... Well, it serves my purposes most of the time.  It's just frustrating it doesn't work as advertised :(

    There was no Millennium Creeper, that was part of a joke render I did for some long dead thread a while back... the original Creeper probably died when the old DAZ Freebie Archives collapsed after DAZ cut loose the old forums in the wake of the Great Software Change of '12... 

    Those were hard times... 

    Its a shame, there were a couple of fun things in there... The Creeper among them. 

    I'd definitely buy an actual updated Creeper if whoever made that redid him... there is something nostalgicly cartoonishly cheesy about Creeper that makes him fun to use... as long as it's not for close ups.

    You are living on the wrong timezone, it's a little over 9PM here, not far from time the 'normal' people go to bed.

    I know that I'm living on the wrong timezone as well, the only time in my life I have woken up refreshed and without an alarm clock at 6AM, was a week I spent in San Francisco fixing a boiler (or helping the guy that did the fix) in one of the loveboats.

    Maybe that is it.

     

    I got a screensaver mode for my tv, but I now can't escape the screen saver.  Also right now it seems to be nap time for the fish?

    Non-complaint:  Yay!  A few days ago I found the proper TPM module for my MommaBear machine (motherboard: ASUS Prime B360M-A) at a reasonable cost.smiley  And now I've found the proper TPM module for my BabyBear computeryes  It is another ASUS board, but this one (a Tuf Gaming B450M-PlusII), uses the Asus 14-1 pin with the key in the corner instead of the 14-1 module that has the key 2-in, or one that has the key just 1-in from the corner, or the 20-pin version(Oyfrown).  This one's about $34.  Not cheap, but I'm finishing up all three of my machines (MommaBear, PoppaBear and BabyBear) and making sure they're ready for Win11 when I am.

    https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-MOTHERBOARDS-Module-System-Components/dp/B08836SG1X/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3KOS00VPZPSZK&keywords=ASUS+TPM+14+pin&qid=1643144380&sprefix=asus+tpm+14+pin,aps,75&sr=8-3

    Still Undecided:  My PoppaBear machine (an ASUS Prime Z490-A) is currently running under TPM protection but I'm not sure if it's firmware or hardware supported.  I can find no TPM header on the motherboard (so no need to buy a TPM module, yay!) yet the BIOS permits enabling TPM, so I did.​  Seems to work OK,yes but I'm not certain if it's using a permanently built-in TPM chip or is using firmware instead of a chip.indecision  Not worried about it now, but I will keep whacking away at this unnecessarily confusing TPM situation.  I could probably have gotten away with enabling TPM in firmware on all the machines.  But why not use the hardware if it's available?

    I got a return label via FedEx, but the label says usps?

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,213

    ...yeah that' happens a lot it's why it took a week and a half for a shipment that was supposed to arrive 4 days. Usually that i done for delivery in rural areas where UPS and FedEx don't serve, but in a large city?

    Yeah, one-day-shipping seems to have changed the definition of "one-day".frown  Although it never really was one day for me, two days sometimes, but usually within three days my item was here when directly shipped directly by Amazon in the US.  Now it seems that 4, 5, or a week is more common.  Lots of sick people not driving trucks or sorting mail (or going back to work at that job).sad  And a lot of stuff handed off to the Post Office for delivery.

    But at least I've stopped ordering stuff shipped from the Orient unless it's the only choice or if the price is worth the wait.  The phrase "On a slow boat from China" comes to mind.indecision

    'One-day-shipping' turned out to be two weeks, when I returned a non-functioning device I was testing to the manufacturer in Canada.

    When they started asking where it was, I checked the tracking and they had put it on a truck headed to Netherlands to be put on a plane there and it takes a week for the slaves to row the boat across the Baltic sea... I could have delivered it faster in person cheeky
