Questions

In the code which will exist in runtime on the site, how do I get the version of the extension so we can send it with requests we will do from the client side browser?   Is there perhaps a way to get it from the Adobe Extension UI first? By extension version I mean the version in the extension.json file of the package   Thanks    

😱  The first of its kind, New York City's  Congestion Pricing plan to charge drivers a daily toll to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street -- $23/day during rush hour, $17/day during off-peak hours -- was approved by the Federal Highway Administration. The goal is to help reduce congestion & pollution in the bussiest central business district and generate an expected $1 billion annually to improve mass transit. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/nyregion/nyc-congestion-pricing.html   I shudder to think what Taxi/Uber drivers & merchants are saying about this. 😖  

I took the plunge and bought a Duxtop portable induction cooktop from Amazon.  It arrived today.    I've got a magnet strapped to my wrist to test my old cookware.  My old stainless steel pots aren't having it.  But good news, my vintage cast iron boiled water in 1 minute.  Yeehaw!    It may take me a while to learn how to cook with induction. But so far so good.    

I am trying to create a custom datatype within a Content Fragment Model for colorpicker I followed the steps given in the following document -    https://blogs.perficient.com/2020/10/20/adding-a-color-picker-to-the-aem-content-fragment-model-editor/   I do see the color picker in the CFM but loads empty set of properties for the colorpicker -  Error logs show -  com.adobe.cq.dam.cfm.ui.impl.extras.DataTypeConfigImpl Provided meta type colorfield is not recognized as a valid type in the configuration resource /mnt/overlay/settings/dam/cfm/models/formbuilderconfig/datatypes   Are there any additional steps needed while adding custom datatypes and do we have a good set of documentation listing down the steps?

Hey guys, sorry to bother you. I am switching to Linux basically due to Software development limitation on Windows. Apart from a developer, I am also a Designer. I would like to take Illustrator and Adobe xD along with me, but it appears short of running VMs there is no other solution.So, my Question is: How to create a VM on Ubuntu 18.04, and have it run an OS that supports Adobe. Just an article that is sufficient to a Linux beginner would be fine.Suggestion: Truth is, I decided to start switching to Figma for Web Design and their Online Tool in the Browser since Figma is on the cloud. IMHO, and don't get offended but Figma is more feature rich than Xd. That being said still Xd interactions are much more fluid for some weird reason. So my suggestion is to make all your apps Browser based.Thanks for your time.

Are the fonts available on Arabicfonts.com free for commercial use, considering that the website does not provide any information and they have not responded to inquiries, only mentioning that they are free Arabic fonts?

I'm currently working with the GeneratePress theme for my blog, and I'm interested in exploring the use of various plugins to enhance its functionality.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in finding valuable resources to make the most of this theme. Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

Elon Musk's much-hyped livestream event was hampered by endless glitches on Wednesday including multiple server crashes, annoying echos and 21 total minutes of awkward silence.    More than 500,000 Twitter users joined the event, which was ultimately ended and then restarted, but delayed by nearly half an hour. When the event was relaunched, only around 250,000 users ultimately listened to what was described as a "bad AM radio talkshow without the working parts."  🤣🤣🤣        

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/23/tech/photoshop-generative-ai/index.html Firefly was launched in March at the Adobe Summit as a web-only beta. It was trained on Adobe’s own collection of stock images and publicly available assets.   By relying on its own image collection, Adobe may be able to avoid the backlash that some other AI image generator tools have faced for training AI from online content.   Getty Images sued Stability AI -- the makers of Stable Diffusion -- for copyright infringement.  Stability has since filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/17/tech/getty-images-stability-ai-lawsuit/index.html  

Hi.  I recently responded to an email from Adobe asking me to complete a questionaire in return for being entered into a prize draw.   I completed the questionaire.  My trust levels in Adobe lowered a few days later when I went back to the email to find the date of the prize draw, on closer inspection I saw in the small print that you could be entered into the prize draw without completing the prize draw, but that is a side issue at the moment.  I still can't find the date of the prize draw, does anyone know?  Thank you

A team of scientists at The University of Maryland's Center for Materials Innovation found that crustaceans like crabs and lobsters contain a chemical in their shells called chitin, which when combined with zinc can be used to power batteries.  Crustacean shells are typically thrown out en masse by restaurants & fish packers that have no other use for them. But researchers believe this waste could serve as a powerful resource in the search for more sustainable batteries.   ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Spent lithium-ion batteries take thousands of years to break down and pose many health risks to our planet.  But these shellfish batteries are biodegradable and can decompose in soil after just FIVE months, leaving behind zinc, which can be recycled. Scientists discover lithium replacement that may revolutionize EV batteries:

The Bard beta program is by invitation only but anyone can apply.  After submitting my name to the wait list, a few minutes later I received an invitation to try Bard. https://bard.google.com/   First I asked Bard to write some promotional copy.  Bard generated a flowery but somewhat vague description of a fabulous island vacation at a luxury resort. The copy was solidly written with lots of appeal but not quite what I was looking for.     Next, I asked Bard for a promotional blurb for a mythic tangible product.  Once again, the copy was well-written, very promotional and abundantly usable for a sales campaign.   I then asked Bard to write a critical wine review of vintage 1970 Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (if you can find it at auction, it costs about $1,900/750ml bottle).  Bard informed me that he has no olfactory senses or taste buds and can't appreciate wine.  But within a few seconds, I was presented with an ar

Hey folks,   How's life cooking? I would like to post a motivational message.   In the last years I had to make a lot of changes, mostly painful ones, that I suffered for. Ever felt like you have totally lost control of your life, both health and professional matters are turned upside down and you never see the light at the end of the tunnel?   Well, I think at some point this life will deserve a book, but believe me, when you least expect it to happen, it still can happen. Everything can really change at any time, ups and downs. Right now I am doing something I thought it would never happen as a professional, my path had changed too much: it is for only 3 months, but wait wait wait.   I am just confusing you all. Let me take just one little part of it, in my profession. It has been a long while away from the adobe apps, and my beloved photoshop. Thought it was over, instead I happened to meet a person that trusted my skills completely, and here I am, not only worki

Hi,This morning I received an email titled Promotional video proposal from hello@adobepromo.com -- the URL adobepromo.com is insecure and shows a bunch of animated dots and boxes. Since the email content is sent as an image, here is a screenshot of the text of the email:  Do NOT click n the link in the body of the text!!! (I didn't) Adobe needs to get this shut down.Any insights into this will be very appreciated. Thanks!

If someone knows how to integrate Adobe Push Service into a Xamarin Mobile application,please let me know. because we were unable to locate the exact document. Please inform me if you were aware of it. Thanks.

I am putting this in here but it has no relation to an tech probs in PSE. I have noticed that there are increasing numbers of images on the internet that will not open on PSE. I refer to those that are labelled webpagefile etc. Now, I understand all about so called copyright but I post my images regularly and they are free for people to relate to or use. I use images to type in fun comments and post them on. Does Adobe have any plans or can tell me how to open these images. My attitude is simple, if a person wants to post an image on the world wide free internet and then use software or copyright claims, DONT POST THEM. If an image is on my screen, its mine, if I want it! Same as Farcebook, thousands of images get post daily. About 2-3 years later I get a note telling me it either false (really??) or copyright owned. IF it is, then darn well post the (C) symbol on the thing.

I found this page that says what the requirments are but it doesn't go into enough detail.  https://trainingpartners.adobe.com/home/program.html This is my first post so be gentle. It says I need to a pass a 2020 or later ACI exam. Where do I take this exam? Are there any prerequisites? Is there a recommended study program? I've seen some posts talk about needing to take an ACE or ACA first but the page in question doesn't say anything about that. Was that a requirement that is no longer needed? Am I overthinking it and nothing else is required? Sifting thourgh old posts is useless since the requirments were different in the past. Thanks
