DELULU warning   Some woman with a U.S. Utility Patent claims she owns 'embossed embroidery' and no one can use it on TikTok, Etsy, eBay, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, etc... without paying her a licensing fee.   I don't think this will hold up as embroidery & embossing techniques date back thousands of years. But we'll have to wait and see if anyone actually challenges this in court.    In the meantime, don't create any embossed embroidery designs for commercial items.  And don't do any tutorials on the subject unless you want to risk being banned by your respective platform.  Tell your friends, family & clients.    

 

 

It seems that Boeing did now follow their own rules when ‘someone’ worked on the door that fell off a plane in flight… or, if a whistleblower is to be believed, the paperwork may have been destroyed or deliberately lost to hide the identities of everyone involved… either way, I hope that the investigation results in not just a fine but firings and jail time (Boeing has already had to pay millions of dollars to Alaska Airlines due to missed flights).At this point I have NO future flight plans so this does not matter to me, but Boeing safety is an important subject for thousands/millions of other people.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/boeing-whistleblower-they-are-putting-out-defective-airplanes/ar-BB1lNNTs

This seems like a dumb question, but it was posed to me and I was surprised to find myself stumped.  The question is: do you need to get a signed release to quote someone in a media project?  To me, the obvious answer would be "no," just based on how I see quotes used in the media all the time.  I mean, I'm certain no one is getting a release from Ted Cruz or Tom Brady to use their quotes in a book or news article.  However, I couldn't find a definitve answer anywhere online that spelled this out.  Anyway, as confident as I am, I'd love to report back that I got a ruling on this from an authoritative source.  Anybody got the legal jargon to settle this?

We want to setup an affiliate link for Adobe Express.At one time we signed up to be an affiliate. We currently have logins for both Partnerize and TradeDoubler.Which one is the current platform? Anyone know?TradeDoubler's dashboard for programs and campaigns is totally blank. WE have a Payoneer account associated with TradeDoubler for payouts. Partnerize shows some Adobe campaigns but you can't click on them or do anything with them.When you chat with Adobe they don't even know they have an affiliate program and just tell you to email adobeaffiliates@arvato.com BUT that is associated with the TradeDoubler platform which seems to be defunct.If you go to https://www.adobe.com/affiliates.html it asks you to sign up through Partnerize which I already have an account but can't get any support for.I can't be the only one with this nightmare. Thanks.

Dear Sir or Madam We are looking for sponsors to help us run our seventh annual CovCreative Film Festival and were hoping you could help us. We have started to organise our seventh film festival, to be held on 12th July 2024 at the prestigious Warwick Arts Centre. Each year, the film festival has expanded to include more Coventry schools, more categories and larger venues, and since Coventry’s City of Culture status in 2021, we have designed it as an event to inspire students to become the future of British film-making. In the past, many of the films that have been produced by the students here have been entered into local competitions and some even went on to win national competitions. We feel that the film festival is an excellent way to showcase these superb films, and reward our young film-makers for their hard work and tireless effort in a sector of creative education which has been marginalised for a number of years. Between 2016 and 2023, 15 of our students were n

THIS IS A RANT. THIS IS ONLY A RANT.  Nothing helpful from me in this post. HOWEVER, IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT, PLEASE REPLY.Foolishly, I missed the window to cancel my Adobe Stock membership without penalty. (But, hey, I'm the idiot that did not notice the $30US auto-payment debits until 3-months had passed.)  When I attempted to cancel, it required $140US to end my membership. WHAT?! Hell no. So then the Adobe site offered me 3-months off. HOORAY!! But of course I've still got to payout month-to-month after the "break".  BOO!So, as the next $30US payment is sneaking up, I'm asked to make a website, and thought to change from Stock to Photoshop or Dreamweaver to make use of this "forced" membership. BRILLIANT! But the conversion will make the month-to-month amount increase to $50US. In the end, it feels like extortion to use anything Adobe because of the membership cancellation "penalty".It is like.... "What? You thought you needed to poop, and you only need

My name is Stas, and I represent one of the Ukrainian companies specializing in the sale of licensed software. Currently, we are looking to expand our range of services and become official distributors of Adobe products. We are seeking information about the possibilities and conditions of such cooperation, including the formats of the products for sale and the requirements for partners.I would be extremely grateful for any information on this topic, as well as if you could share examples of contracts or contacts of individuals with whom we could discuss the details. Thank you for your time and willingness to help!

GREAT idea to hang a picture (one with a wire) is to put a fork over the nail/screw and wire over the fork and then pull the fork out leaving the wire on the nail/screw  

Anyone checking out the northern lights tonight? Supposedly a large swath of North America is going to be able to see the lights in the next 24 hours. Not sure if you can view this phenom the whole night providing you don't get cloud interface or light pollution.  I my self was able to view it somewhat looking north west where there was a crescent moon.  OK it was not that great considering I live in the city. But its still cool seeing a light pink swath and a ribbon of green just below. Go on and check it out. I myself won't be able to tomorrow since we're getting rain. Oh well.  But there are always live streams online if you just search. Saw a few good ones by CNN. Hopefully we won't get any outages to our grid as there is going to be lots of inference from the storm which may affect some electronics and satellites. The storm is marked as "severe"

how do you measure app conversion? based on visits / visitors / launches / other?

*NOTE* This is admittedly only tangentially related to Adobe products because it's what I'm using to design the assets for the emails.*ALSO NOTE* I'm emotionally drained. I went into work today with the full possibility of walking out.*ADMINS* Please move this post to the most relavent discussion board if this is not correct.I work for a small direct mail advertising company that's looking to get into offering email marketing to clients. The problem is my boss keeps trying to rely on purchased lists of email addresses to send out to potential customers. I know there is no law in the US that explicitly bans spamming for commercial purposes. The CAN-SPAM Act really only covers sending fraudulent messages and explicit material through email.To give some context…So far we’ve only been trying this out with one client of ours. That client is a relatively small lawncare company that has been trying on their own to use Mail Chimp for their email marketing. My boss has purchased a list of about

A dozen or so years ago I bought an 'H brand' kitchen knife set at Costco... great knives, except very soon after buying the set my wife started talking about her 'favorite' knife (the 8" Chef knife) not staying sharp very long... so I got into a routine of using a sharpening stick pretty much every time she wanted to cut something.An Eon or two later I decided to find a better knife... I found a review site https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/kitchen/best-chefs-knife with knives from $170 down to the 'best budget' knife for under $40 being the Paudin brand from Japan (oops... steel is from Japan, knife is made in China).I clicked the link on the review page (as well as several other links to learn more about kitchen knives) and read Amazon customer reviews... and also clicked the link for the 'better' forged https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VXJBZJZ Paudin knife made using the 'folded layer' Damascus process.Some other information I found while searching & reading.All good kitchen kn

Finally, the US has a Climate Change / Inflation Reduction Bill before the Senate that may get approved early next week.  Hurray!  The good news is that the Bill provides many incentives for people to switch to Solar Power.  It's something I have wanted to do for years. And this may be the best time to do it.    How many people are currently using Solar Power at home, office or school?
