Update: I flew !!!https://www.direct2usales.com/VEGAS.HTM   My upcoming trip to Las Vegas is on Alaska Airlines... I am watching the investigation into the problem(s) with Boeing planes closely... and I am very concerned that 'several' planes have been found to have problems... I have trip insurance that I have never used before, and I'm thinking that I may find out this time just how easy/hard it is to make a claim... my trip is in late March, so I will decide early in the month if I want to cancel... or not   https://apnews.com/article/boeing-investigation-ntsb-safety-airplanes-d9e28fe1a11dafe4f639268504bdb85f   https://apnews.com/article/united-airlines-ceo-boeing-manufacturing-problems-4090ea6176ef59e382dd18e9522596bc

Hi guys,I'm trying out freelancing. I've got profiles on People Per Hour and Freelancer and I do apply (or 'bid' as they call it) for jobs, but it's beginning to feel like house hunting (I'm also currently searching for a new place). As I had never been taken up for a job by someone on these websites, I'm not sure how it is time-wise— are there clients who are not in a rush to get jobs done? How do you approach being a freelancer on these sites, is it best if I am on as many of them (the good ones) as possible? If I am though, isn't that a lot of juggling?Even though I have been bidding for jobs, I'm not landing any. I'm currently not too fussed on getting paid a lot, decently will do. My main focus is to start actively designing again and getting paid. I've also just thought of going around to the independent shops in my area and passing them my card and CV, I'm sure they'd need some design work done from time-to-time.The position I'm in now is that I've not held a full-time design jo

can you imagine buying ( and continuing to spend $$, 7 months not working to this day. ) a car and driving for 5 months only to wake up and notice that a wheel is missing. Then not only due they insult you by telling you that they can't find a wheel (knowing a wheel factory is on the 2nd floor) but they will suspend the contract if you don't pay the monthly road service. I've done all that has been asked, sent proof and all the screenshots/ videos.... Twice. This is how you tell someone you don't care w/o telling them you don't care. I have been convinced that they don't care and they don't have to care and there is nothing I can do about it, so I need to sit down, shut up and keep the $$ coming in or else. I hate feeling and speaking in this manner but it is what it is.

One great thing about Behance users is that we have a strong sense of community.  Thus, with the launch of Adobe Portfolio I thought it would be interesting for us to share links.   Reason being... by sharing links we can learn how to set up interesting sites.  This exchange is also good because if we see an artist that we like we can establish a contact with them.  Networking is key to the success of artists.... it can lead to collaborations, new jobs and so much more.  You may even discover other artists in your area that you have round table discussions with.  Plus you never know when or where your talents will be discovered!   Also if you see a site that was created and have a question on how they set something up.... then ask the creator.  That is the best source to learn how to make your Adobe Portfolio shine!   So here is my link.... I look forward to seeing the pages that others have created as well! http://kennshinabery.myportfolio.

A friend posted this link on FB of an amazing shot showing the snowy San Gabriel Mountains with the Hollywood sign:   https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=938227641311485&set=a.695273785606873   One commentor posted that the photo was fake. I normally don't respond to people, but I couldn't resist, as I grew up where this photo was taken. I said that with a nice long lens on a clear day, that image was totally possible and not a fake. The person responded that she had lived in the area for 40 years - like that matters, and the Hollywood sign was skewed to face the camera. So this got me curious - was it? I found a photo that I had taken from roughly the same area, maybe 5 miles east. and compared the two images. I didn't have a long lens, so mine was pretty blurry, but I can't tell if there was any intentional skewing of the Hollywood sign. Am I wrong? If not, best not argue with a professional photographer who is also a local.

I got an odd email of someone claiming to be in troop 12 of the Boy scouts in Rochester, NY. He wanted my autograph for getting merit badges. This contact was through Adobe Portfolio, which I really haven't done anything with it. Anyone else getting these emails?

I bought some DeWalt 18v tools about a dozen years ago... I'm not a pro carpenter, so for my lite duty house projects the tools have lasted and still work well.Not so the batteries... they won't hold a charge for very long so I've been looking at replacements.I also have some newer DeWalt 20v tools (different tools).While looking on Amazon (hardware store I go to doesn't stock the 18v batteries since the tools are old) I discovered an adapter that plugs into the old style tool and accepts a new style battery.So now I only have to keep up with charging one style of battery for old and new tools.https://www.amazon.com/Biswaye-Battery-Adapter-DCA1820-Convert/dp/B074V7QPTJ

This is not related to Adobe programs (other than having a few PDF files she views).My wife has an artist area in the back of our garage, where she does embossed copper and various kinds of painting on cards and tiles... she got tired of viewing tutorials in the house and trying to remember the details of what she just watched when she went into the garage (concerning mixing paints).I did a search to find a 'cheap' laptop (she does this mostly as a hobby) and found one that will allow her to view tutorials right next to where she is working... and be able to pause or go back to watch something again while she is measuring & mixing paint.At $200 (plus tax/shipping) this works great for her https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLXMBSXC.I did attach a wireless mouse from my spare parts box since she REALLY does not like the 'mouse pad' that is part of a laptop... if she decides that she doesn't like the keyboard I will buy an external keyboard that is full size

Hello,I'm doing a Cvat project but the annotation tools didn't appear where they are supposed to be,how can I find them?

Apparently for the first time, Adobe will host its Max conference outside California this year. In Florida. (This according to Business Insider.) Some 500 Adobe employees signed a petition pleading with the company not to gift such a financially significant piece of business to a state where the government is running roughshod over the values Adobe claims to uphold. An Adobe exec named Amy White is quoted as acknowledging that Florida is "complicated".  No. It's not "complicated". You either stand with bigotry or you stand with your stated values. I used to admire Adobe and its products. Over the last few years, Adobe has disappointed me with sloppy product development, disappointing customer service, and a - disappointing - slide into the amoral behavior we all associate with big corporations with effective monopolies. Yes, Adobe does some good things. But the disappointments add up. Why am I posting this here? I invested over an hour without success

Suddenly...my Default PDF Viewer is Adobe....I did not select that.  I wish to delete this and return to Chrome or Word.  I can choose to use a different place to open, of course, but I see no options to make that choice Default.  Thanks.  Mini Mac.   Windows for Mac

There were some complex legal arguments brought before the Supreme Court today that could have lasting impact on our use of social media.    

I never used an actual timer but 'about' every 3-4 hours the water would run to refill the toilet tank... I took the top off the tank and the water was going down about an inch and the automatic valve would then let water in to refill the tank.I did the first, obvious thing and bought a new flapper valve... did not fix the problem.So I did the next thing and removed the flapper valve assembly (see picture 1).The outside of a toilet tank is shiny/smooth due to being dipped in a 'slurry' before going into a kiln, but the inside of the tank is NOT smooth, so the rubber gasket at the base of the assembly was clearly not making a good seal (note ridges in the rubber gasket).My solution (see picture 2) was to use shop towels to get everything completely dry and put a thick bead of silicone caulk on the rubber gasket... reinstall and let 'cure' for 24 hours before opening the water valve to let the tank fill.So far (2 days) the tank is staying full... leak is fixed !!!  

Good afternoon! My name is Varvara. I am a representative of the online University of Artificial Intelligence. We teach students neural networks and are a development company. We have several questions about your service, namely questions about creating an AI Avatar and its implementation.Tell me, please, is it possible to place the created avatar in a Web application, please tell me where I can read how to do this?And when placed in a Web application, is it possible to make the avatar pronounce this text with certain reactions in real time when submitting audio /text?At the same time, is it possible to take default reactions or should they be modeled?If there are tariffs, which tariff should I choose, taking into account our need: posting on the site and voicing the text / the reaction of facial expressions to the voice, as if he himself spoke with this voice?Thanks for your reply

I suspect Adobes database has been breached again, similar to this incident, of which I changed my custom email address only used form Adobe nothing else.https://petapixel.com/2013/11/07/number-adobe-accounts-hacked-now-150m-check/ The email I got was"Your password at 403346 will expire in less than 14 day(s).Please go to https://ondemand.questionmark.com/home/403346/user/14261/edit to change your password"Note I have 2 adobe accounts. Work & personal cloud account. Both of them received this email, which further leads me to believe there is a breach..

Copied from my wife's FB page (with permission)   This is for the people who have NO idea what is happening once your Kia or Hyundai is stolen.   As I wrote, my daughters 2017 Kia was stolen from her home last Saturday evening. In May of 2023, she had the car in for service and the update installed for the anti theft "thingy"!   Fast forward to today: I have been all over the internet and saw there is a class action lawsuit going on through one of the "ambulance chaser" attorneys.   I spoke with a guy at Weston Kia just now and learned more than I can process. Here is what he told me and I was blown away. People of my age have never lived through this insanity and this one takes the cake for sure.   Apparently the story goes like this: If your car is stolen he was telling me that usually within days it is recovered, most often at a homeless camp. The car has to then be towed to a dealer because it must be checked for FENTANYL. If it has any residue of

I bought an Apple DVD drive in 2012 to play movies on my 2012 iMac which had no internal drive. I used it a lot until I bought a new iMac in 2021, then not at all until today. The old DVD app didn't work on Sonoma, and the iDVD app doesn't seem to work with the old drive. The drive gets power from the USB cable but will not accept a disc. Is that a hardware problem or a software problem? If software, is there a way to get the new DVD app to work with the old drive?Thanks

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows the name of a song for an adobe roam ps commerical on Youtube. It was not that long and I haven't found the commerical since. Lyrics are something like " We're floating to space now, 1 million  miles away. On top of the world now". If any1 can help !!

So is anyone here into 3D printing?  If so, what software do you use to make the models?  Which printer is the one to go with?  Any other pointers?   I'm looking at the Original Prusa i3 MK3 which several sites seem to be raving over, and I use SketchUp, which I believe can drive 3D printers. Can any Adobe apps drive a 3D printer?  What sort of things do you make with your printer? 

https://petapixel.com/2024/01/31/news-director-blames-photoshop-for-sexist-edit-of-female-politician/   https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-01/georgie-purcell-ai-image-nine-news-apology-digital-ethics/103408440   This issue caused a stir in our media outlets yesterday.   The digitally altered image of Victorian Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell used to introduce a story on Victorian duck hunting saw the white dress she was wearing in the original photo swapped for a top exposing her midriff.   "Note the enlarged bust and outfit to be made more revealing. Can't imagine this happening to a male MP," she tweeted.   Nine News has told the ABC (Australian media outlet) the alteration to Ms Purcell's midriff occurred when using Adobe Photoshop's "generative expand" tool. The tool allows users to make an image bigger — the program uses AI to make assumptions or guesses about how that image might be best filled out with new material.   When that image was dr

Good morning - I work for the Department of Defense, and as part of a purchase agreement to utilize Adobe Software I need the company to complete and sign the form. Is anyone familiar with this process, or which office within Adobe handles this? - Patrick

MY QUESTION:   How would you feel  if I just took images from a facebook group page, images that you posted, and used them to make content for my own youtube channel?Recently in a facebook group which is about photoshop elements I noticed some activity from one user I found a bit odd.Typically, within 4 days of a user posting an image and asking "I need help with this shadow" or "How do I match the colors in these photos?"  The same exact image appears as a "tutorial" on his Youtube channel.Many of the images used are of children:  football team picture, cheerleader picture, kid in a family picture type stuff.I checked with 5 users: Only one had given permission.   One user contacted him and had the video removed.All the videos on his youtube channel have commenting disabled, which leaves a sour taste in my mouth.It all seems to be just a bad way of doing business to me.
