2024.05.15 10:39 prytanus Questions for new and experienced animators

I’ve got several questions, first I’d like to know what influenced you to pursue animation as a career. How has your attempt of pursuing such career gone? What are the difficulties in this industry? What has been your experience working for animation studios if you have? In what ways do you think animation studios could do better to support their animators? What do you think it takes to create a sustainable animation studio that prioritizes the art of animation, art of storytelling, and the well being of animators?
The reason I ask so many questions, which you could feel free to just answer one not all, is because I keep hearing about all these animators struggling in the animation industry, and I hear that all these studio executives who are behind the decision process don’t actually know what they’re doing and it seems that they’re fucking everyone else in the process. I just want to understand if that’s actually true from what you have experienced?
Oh and finally, I was wondering if I could get some recommendations of indie animation studios that may not be so well known but produce great content. I really want to get exposed to indie animation projects and creators who have a lot of passion in this industry and their craft.

2024.05.15 10:38 pjo33 Rising sealevel in Wano

Looking at the red line, we can see the sealevel rising through the centuries. Old Wano is, probably, older then the void century, and the walls where erected after the WG emerged. If we look at the sealevel around Wano, it starts of below the original island itself (otherwise nobody could live on this island without the walls). But in the second picture, you could no longer live in Old Wano, without the walls. But in the third picture, the water on the outside is already higher than the buildings on the inside. If these buildings are ~3 stories on average, and if one story is roughly 3m, this would mean, that the ocean is now 10m higher then it was in the Void century. Considering Doffy said that 5m would be enough to make most island uninhabitable, this could be an aftermath of the last time the WG used an ancient weapon.

Driving Results: Harnessing the Power of Ad Servers for Enhanced Campaign Performance
https://preview.redd.it/e1lgwqjcxj0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c99748643db65daf39f3e6740119e1d5a7260a9
In the bustling world of digital marketing, where every click and impression counts, the ability to drive tangible results is paramount. Amidst this cacophony of data and strategies, ad servers emerge as the unsung heroes, silently powering campaigns to new heights of success. In this article, we'll delve into the pivotal role ad servers play in enhancing campaign performance and driving measurable results.
Understanding the Role of Ad Servers
At its essence, an ad server is a technological marvel that acts as the nerve center of digital advertising campaigns. It's the tool that ensures ads are displayed to the right audience, at the right time, and in the right context. Ad servers manage the entire lifecycle of an ad campaign, from ad serving and targeting to tracking and reporting.
Precision Targeting: Reaching the Right Audience
One of the most potent capabilities of ad servers lies in their ability to execute precision targeting. By leveraging a trove of data and sophisticated algorithms, ad servers can pinpoint specific demographics, interests, and behaviors with laser-like precision.
Imagine a scenario where a pet food company wants to promote its new line of organic dog treats. Through the power of ad servers, they can target individuals who have shown an interest in pets, organic products, or related keywords. This hyper-targeted approach ensures that the ads are delivered to those most likely to be interested in the product, maximizing the chances of engagement and conversion.
Optimizing Campaign Performance: The Key to Success
Driving results in digital marketing requires constant optimization and fine-tuning of campaign parameters. Ad servers excel in this aspect by providing real-time performance insights and analytics.
Marketers can monitor key metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and return on investment (ROI) directly within the ad server interface. Armed with this data, they can identify underperforming aspects of the campaign and make informed adjustments on the fly.
For example, if a particular ad creative is generating low engagement, marketers can quickly swap it out for a new variation. Similarly, if a certain demographic segment is responding particularly well to the campaign, marketers can allocate more budget towards targeting that segment for enhanced results.
Dynamic Ad Serving: Personalization at Scale
In the age of personalization, generic one-size-fits-all ads no longer cut it. Customers crave personalized experiences tailored to their preferences and interests. Ad servers make this possible through dynamic ad serving capabilities.
Using data such as browsing history, purchase behavior, and geographic location, ad servers can dynamically generate ads that resonate with individual users. Whether it's showcasing products they've previously viewed or offering personalized discounts based on their past purchases, dynamic ad serving allows marketers to deliver tailored experiences at scale.
Cross-Channel Integration: Creating Cohesive Campaigns
With customers engaging with brands across multiple channels and devices, maintaining consistency and coherence is crucial. Ad servers facilitate cross-channel integration by ensuring that ads are delivered seamlessly across various platforms and touchpoints.
Whether someone encounters an ad while browsing the web on their laptop, scrolling through their social media feed on their smartphone, or watching videos on their tablet, they receive a consistent message that reinforces brand identity and messaging. This unified approach enhances brand recall and increases the likelihood of conversion.
Conclusion: Maximizing Results with Ad Servers
In conclusion, ad servers are indispensable tools for driving results and maximizing campaign performance in the dynamic landscape of digital marketing. From precision targeting and real-time optimization to dynamic ad serving and cross-channel integration, ad servers offer a suite of capabilities that empower marketers to achieve their goals and objectives.
By harnessing the power of ad servers, businesses can unlock new opportunities for growth, engagement, and conversion. As technology continues to evolve and customer behaviors evolve, ad servers will remain at the forefront of digital advertising, driving results and delivering value for brands around the globe.
So, the next time you embark on a digital advertising campaign, remember the power of ad servers – your trusted ally in the pursuit of enhanced campaign performance and tangible results.

2024.05.15 10:37 brooklyn11218 My 3+ year Journey to revive a corroded Pokemon Pinball Cart.

So 3 years ago I purchased a copy of Pokemon Pinball. I was told that all it needs is a cleaning but when I opened it the entire board was covered in corrosion. Completely in over my head, I threw it in a box and moved on with life.
https://imgur.com/KPuBpOL
The other day while looking for something unrelated I came across the game again. With a lot of soldering experience under my belt since I bought it I decided to try and fix it.
First I gave the pcb a white vinegar bath, ipa scrub, and removed all the components. The ROM chip was the most corroded. You can see in the picture that 4 pads were lost but what's not shown is the five pins that broke off the chip itself.
https://imgur.com/lRH2Ha4
https://imgur.com/lP4dXXh
Next I sanded away the solder mask until I could see all the traces.
https://imgur.com/ij5uFjB
https://imgur.com/r9SkMsg
I then spent a few hours a day for a week painstakingly going over every single trace and vias. It was amazing practice and by the end I was going back and redoing stuff I did at the start. I started off with 28awg wire but that was too thick so I swapped to 36awg enameled wire.
https://imgur.com/MaLANCk
https://imgur.com/XDDq9O8
Once I was satisfied with all the bodge wires, I reconnected all the components.
https://imgur.com/UFePNA8
And was met with complete failure.
https://imgur.com/XSNUfWD
At this point I had sunk enough time into it that I wasn't going to be deterred. I found a reverse engineered pcb schematic and ordered 5 from jlpcb.
https://imgur.com/JTPPwLz
There were some pad size issues. You can see in the following two pictures that I had to attach the resisters and capacitors at an angle to get them connected. And if you look at the 6 pin chip you'll see that only the center pins line up with the pads. The outer 4 have large blobs to connect them to the corresponding pin. I probed with my multimeter to test for continuity and everything s going where it needs to be.
https://imgur.com/ZTjwvlX
https://imgur.com/eHQEkP5
Then I went through the tedious process of resoldering the rom chip. All together I had to grind away and solder bodge wires to replace 6 lost pins.
https://imgur.com/69wSEmS
Finally with everything all transfered to the new pcb it was time to give it a test.
https://imgur.com/X2vPCnx
I got so excited when I saw that Nintendo logo. But it was once again a failure.
That is where I stand at the moment. My current theories are:
  1. one of the other components was blown by the corrosion and is causing the white screen.
  2. There are still some broken pins on the ROM chip that are being held in place by the plastic. I really hope this isn't it because that would involve a ton of exploratory grinding.
  3. The ROM chip is shot.
For the record, despite how it looks in the pictures, none of the pins are shorting to each other. It's just a bad angle.
So any theories on what's the issue? Does anyone know the values of the capacitors and resistors? I do have a test drive game which uses the same board so I could swap the rom chips to narrow down if it's components or chip but I really don't want to redo those snapped legs. Which is why I'm posting here before taking next steps.

2024.05.15 10:37 M1lk_4_Kh0rn3 New sub-faction ideas for Kane Wrath #7 Japan-Korea Defense Initiative (GDI)

New sub-faction ideas for Kane Wrath #7 Japan-Korea Defense Initiative (GDI)
"Greeting Brothers and Sisters, today we bring you grave news. The sun we though had set long ago had risen again. Those remained from wars of fifty years ago revived from their tombs, readied to served their GDI masters once more. Our brother in China once underestimated them, now they are trampled under their feet. I fear we will faced them soon."
Brother Duc, a Confessor in Ho Chi Minh city.
Konnichiwa, Annyeong hasimnikka and hello guys and girls. I'm back with the third trilogy of homebrew sub-factions. This time, we'll take a look to the far east, where the Empire of Rising Sun used to be, at least in Red Alert 3 timeline. In the lands of Korean Peninsula and Japan Island, a branch of GDI, the Japan-Korea Defense Initiative (J-KDI) is in charge. This concept based on the Empire of Rising Sun from RA3 with many touches to fit in the scenario of the Tiberium Universe. As this region unique geography, society, economical and technological advances, the sub-faction leaned more toward urban warfare, drone combat and the fragile but versatile mech walker.
As you already know, the Steel Talon also favor walkers but their mech are crude, rugged and focus on late-game punch, J-KDI mechs are more futuristic, high-tech, highly versatile, which is an odd for GDI doctrine, but when taking their operating region into account, the feat seem not very complicated, as Japan and Korea are the least suffered from the first two Tiberium Wars and designated as Blue Zones (Yes, even North Korea is a Blue Zone, maybe Kane get scared, who know?). So, without any further ado, let dive in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J-KDI insignia
Lore
Originally created by the United Nations as a branch of GDI in charge of Japan and Korean region and after decades maintaining security and prosperity with advancing in technologies, J-KDI is one of the most renowned division within GDI. They often active in Japan Main Islands and Korean Peninsula, which saw little Tiberium infestation and stable politic and economic environments. During the chaotic time before the Second Tiberium War, the three governments met with GDI presentative and strike a deal: The three countries will accept GDI officials, tactics, policies and complied to mobilization orders in exchange for maintaining their own decree of independent, including the right to command and develop their own army with access to some GDI technologies. This deal has led to the birth a semi-independent regional forces within GDI, known as Japan-Korea Defense Initiative (J-KDI).
One of J-KDI unique characteristic is due to they mostly operate in large city, thus their arsenal is modified to suit urban combats. With their freedom in R&D and a huge sum of budget to do so, their units seem more futuristic and sometime unrealistic compare to normal GDI war machines. Most noticeable is they managed to recovered old prototypes from older projects, upgraded and let them enter services once again. With North Korea also in the mix, J-KDI also employed well trained armed military polices and tactical nuclear ballistic weapons. On the other side, J-KDI saw limited use of aircraft and cannot access to Ion Cannons due to GDI constrictions, however, they soon found out other "solutions" to fulfill their role.
In recent years, J-KDI had found a new talent, Dr. Liang, brother of Jade Liang, a NOD notorious commander. Dr. Liang worked side by side with his sister Jade in the GDI research labs until they were both accidentally exposed to raw Tiberium. Liang chose to amputate his arm rather than succumb to mutation. He now dedicates himself to finding ways to heal wounds of all kinds with most of his research into pilotless vehicles. And Dr. Liang, who in need of a sponsor met with J-KDI, who scouting for talents in robotics and drone vehicles, thus Dr. Liang was recruited as chief scientist and a battle commander for J-KDI. His contributed in drones and AI developments helped J-KDI advanced further to their vision of a futuristic army, until the end of Third Tiberium War, that is ...
Building
  • Can not build Airfield.
  • Can not build Combat Support Airfield.
  • Call for Transport available after a Command Post is built
Defense
  • Missile Silo replaces Ion Cannon: Sponsored by United Republic of Korea, these things make NOD green with envy. It can launch a tactical nuclear strike delivered by an ICBM with 5 tactical nuclear MIRV warheads at the target location anywhere on the map. If this is not enough, J-KDI commanders can purchase additional warheads at the Silo. Each warheads cost 1500$ and each ICBM can carry 10 warheads at most.
The Missile Silo ready to deliver it payloads
Infantry
  • Riot Squad replaces Riflemen Squad: Basic infantry/policeman armed with mini assault rifles, riot shield and flash bang. They are studier but slower than their counterpart and trained to clear garrisoned building. On the flip side, they can throw flash bang at enemies infantry, which stunned for a while.
  • Dragonfly Drone: Flying scout drones armed with EMP Immobilizer, which can disable ground vehicle. It can ordered to charge and self-destruct in an EMP explosion, hopefully damaging anything around it. Require Command Post.
  • Service Drone: Flying support drone with timed life that can repair or heal adjacent allies units. Can only summoned through Instant Service support power.

  • Robo Tengu replaces Guardian APC: Anti-infantry hover walker, first designed for security, then converted for military use. It can upgrade to transform into the Jet Tengu, a VTOL air superiority fighter. Can detect stealth.
  • Striker-VX: Anti-air walker that can spew out surface-to-air missiles into air. It can upgraded to transform into the Chopper-VX, to combat incoming ground targets with air-to-surface missiles. Require Command Post.
  • Megalodon: Powerful assault walker designed for melee combat with plasma blade, excellence durability and quite fast (for a heavy tank). It also immune to hijacking, mind control and only slowed down by EMP effects. Commandos, however, can plant charges on it legs to bring it down. It leaves behind a husk when destroyed, which can be captured or destroyed. Require Tech Center.

  • Instant Service: Call in a flock of 3 Service Drones with timed life anywhere on the map that can heal and repair adjacent allies units. Require War Factory.
Notable Events
  1. Clear House. Location: Kobe, Japan. After the Firestorm Crisis, Empire of Japan and the United Republic of Korea, designated as Blue Zones B-6 and B-7, entered a decade of rapid development thanks to geography locations, efficient governments and technological advances. But shadows of previous conflicts still remained and now, they stir once again. Dr. Liang, a newly appointed chief scientist of J-KDI, accompanied by Battle Commander Sato in a riot control mission in Kobe. The investigators discovered that riots incited by the local Yakuza and backed by NOD. A MCV with escort arrived and quelled the riots by destroyed all hidden NOD infrastructures around the city. At one of the base, J-KDI found documents about a large operation in nearby Osaka Port.
  2. Hand of Darkness. Location: Osaka, Japan. From the documents J-KDI discovered NOD had secretly taken control of Osaka Port operations through several Yakuza shell companies. There, they established a base, hidden by Disruption Towers to wait for a "special shipment" arrive. J-KDI sent a Commando task force to intercept the cargo. As the Commando arrived, he cut through NOD patrols and secured the cargo ship. With the cargo carried away by a V-35 Ox, J-KDI sent in their MCV to build a base and proceed to eliminate NOD presence in the port.
  3. Hidden Vipers. Location: Ningbo, China. The cargo contained parts of a liquid Tiberium base explosive device and from NOD captives and documents, they intended stage a "test" in Tokyo area. This information raised concern for both J-KDI and GDI alike as such attack will cause massive casualties. Doctor Liang traced back the device is manufactured in Ningbo, China and had signatures of his sister, Jade Liang, now a defector. GDI Council authorized a joined assault on China Yellow Zone and put a stop to these devices production. After a bombardment, Steel Talon vanguards landed at the port while J-KDI mech wings escort Hovercraft upstream Yong Jiang river to strike at the rear. However, the city is defended by Emerald Vipers, a NOD faction specialized in toxic and liquid-T weapon. The Vipers led by Jade resisted fiercely to defend their facilities but crushed eventually. Jade escaped with only a handful of troops and GDI claimed their victory.
  4. Incoming Storm. Location: Tumangang, North Korea. Several years passed since NOD Incursion and GDI slowly diminished their military forces. But J-KDI still maintained their semi-independent status and continued to developed new weapons. Recently, there words of a huge NOD armored column pushed down from Siberia toward the Korean Peninsula. Commander Sato had been mobilized to Tumangang in the Russia-North Korea border to intercept NOD advance. He arrived and begin fortified river crossing just before NOD first wave arrived. After the first wave intercepted, second wave arrived and set up shops at the opposite river bank. From there, NOD aircraft and infantry can support the third and fourth wave directly, giving Sato a hard time, however, no vehicle crossed the river. Just before the last wave, Sato receive information about the attacks on GDSS Philadelphia and Japan. He quickly finished the last wave and returned to Japan.
  5. Day at the bay. Location: Yokohama, Japan. NOD attacked a GDI Council's installations in Yokohama and J-KDI called in as reinforcement to take back Ion Cannon Control Centers there. However, there early reports that another GDI force already there. Feeling something amiss, Commander Sato send a Commando and a Sniper Team to investigate the situation. Turned out, a GDI Insurgent, the Dark Eyes Insurgency (D.E.I) had taken control of the Ion Control Centers there and in process of stealing an Ion Cannon for there usage. After a brief skirmish, Sato cannot stop the D.E.I from finished taking control an Ion Cannon. At this point, the D.E.I commander propose a deal with Sato, as they willingly to help him take back the vital port of Yokohama in exchange for a blind eye, as GDI Council not giving J-KDI access to Ion Cannon Network either. Having no better choice, Sato agreed and the combined GDI wiped out remaining NOD foothold in Yokohama. Before leaving, the D.E.I generously provide Sato a shocking new: Dr. Liang life is under threat by his little sister, as she going to attack at San Diego Conference, where Dr. Liang and many GDI top scientist currently in.
  6. Santa Coming, Too. Location: San Diego, California. Dr. Liang and San Diego base had been warned about the coming of NOD forces. However, the defense of the base fall in local GDI hands, as Dr. Liang forces are only a handful of guards and mechs. As the Vipers approached, they were caught surprised by J-KDI transform mechs and Vipers aircraft soon removed out the sky as their home Air Tower destroyed. This angered Jade and she soon send in more troops to the meat grinder. In the moment the base about to fall, an APCOM reinforcement wing arrived and bombed NOD forces to oblivion. Jade herself forced to abandoned the battle, leaving behind many Vipers casualties behind.
  7. Relics of the Past. Location: Point Hope, Alaska. Having stabilized the Blue Zones, GDI High Command planned for a retaliation strike at NOD. J-KDI Command didn't sit still either, as they're dangerously close to the China Yellow Zone. However, to J-KDI also lack the capability to strike deep into China mainland where NOD headquarter is. Dr. Liang proposed a bold idea: by using an old experimental device Allied forces used during the Third World War, they can teleport a limited number of vehicle directly at NOD headquarter and destroy NOD from inside out. However, this device currently mothballed in a abandoned base in Alaska, with rumors of NOD activities in the region. As the plan when through by GDI High Command, Dr. Liang and Sato lead and expedition to dig out the old Chronosphere and charged it to full. While Dr. Liang busy restore and recharge the Chronosphere, Commander Sato take charge of a naval battle with two NOD Battleships and their escort.
  8. Chrono You Didn't. Location: Nanchang, China. With the old Chronosphere device fully charged, J-KDI begin their raid on NOD Asian Headquarter in China. After clear out a NOD outpost, a MCV with some mech teleported and begin set up shops at the west bank of the river. Local Black Hand alerted of J-KDI presence and sent a Purifier with a few Scorpions to intercept GDI but soon torn to shed by mech reinforcement. This, however, do not deter the Black Hand and NOD from sending in more troop and vehicles at the J-KDI base, stalling J-KDI advance for a time. After a few round of reinforcements, Dr. Liang inform commander Sato that the Chronosphere will reach it limit soon, but a ZOCOM commander volunteer to arrived at a last batch reinforcement. A ZOCOM MCV with some vehicle and two MARVs soon teleported in was the last reinforcement, but they are more than enough. Together with ZOCOM, J-KDI pushed forward and even destroyed a Black Hand Redeemer, forcing them to retreat. The main NOD base soon followed suit and fall to the combined might of the two MARVs. With their Command Headquarter destroyed, NOD forces in China soon fall to disarray. This mission is a total victory.
  9. Doomsday Countdown. Location: Incheon, South Korea. The situation in the Far East is stabled and only minor NOD resistances remained but a large number of NOD had escaped their demise. Peace finally there, but it is short lived, as the Earth under attack by an unknown Aliens. There crafts landed across the globe and their forces strike in every Blue and Yellow Zones. A Drone Platform had landed in Incheon and Commander Sato sent to deal with it. A strike team arrived from sea and encountered heavy Alien patrols. Battleship called for bombards to clear a landing zone for an J-KDI outpost. The alien deployed their Rift Generator, intend using it to wipe out any humans resistant. In face such mass destruction weapons, J-KDI authorized the use of Tactical Nukes and a Silo is deployed. With the help of a EMP Control Center, J-KDI disrupt the Rift Generator long enough for their forces to destroyed the Rift Generator and nuked the Drone Platform along with any remained Aliens to oblivion.
  10. Under the Sacred Mountain. Location: Mt. Fuji, Japan. When Commander Sato busy dealing with the aliens in Hiroshima, Dr. Liang received distress signals from a GDI facility in Mt. Fuji. Apparently, his little sister, Jade attacked the facility to eliminate a high ranking NOD defector sheltered there. But the Aliens arrival foiled her plan and now she caught in the crossfire between GDI and Aliens. This opportunity cannot be missed but J-KDI had given order to prioritized the defector safety first, thus Dr. Liang led reinforcements to Mt. Fuji. He arrived from the north to the final GDI base there while Jade three base besieging them. As for the Aliens, there coming from the South, keep hammering Jade from behind. J-KDI first recaptured the Power Plant to reactivate the remain defend system, which temporally push Jade forces back. Afterward, they begin to hammer Jade bases while she fend off the Aliens. Cannot withstand any further, Jade flee again, abandoned remaining forces to their fate. The Aliens also dealt with afterward and the defector escorted to safety.
  11. Shipwright. Location: Naval Base White Beach, Okinawa. A ZOCOM aircraft carrier task force arrived in Okinawa for emergency repair and refuel. The carrier carried with it a special cargo and under attack by the Reaper-17 pursuers. J-KDI sent Commander Sato to unsured the cargo safety. When be Carrier under repaired, all sirens sounded as Alien Storm Riders approached, but all shot down. Soon, more Aliens ground forces arrived along the north beach while more Storm Riders flied in from the sea. J-KDI and ZOCOM hold off the Aliens long enough for the Carrier Task force to repair and refuel, then escort the task force to high sea, after destroyed the Alien foothold in the region, of course.
  12. Race of Arms. Location: Threshold 14, Guangdong, China. The cargo had reached safety in the high sea while the Aliens pursuer retreated. GDI High Command, alerted of Alien's Towers in the Red Zone, planned to destroyed them before they finished constructing. J-KDI had been assigned to bring down the Tower in China Red Zone, code name Threshold 14. When the vanguard arrived, they found themself not only facing Alien but also NODs. Under pressure from both side, J-KDI hold on to their footholds while withering down Alien and NOD forces. Soon, Dr. Liang informed that a special Chrono delivery is coming. Commander Sato send the signal for three warheads to teleported near the Phase Generators and denotate them, reduced a huge chunk of Alien base to dust. With the Phase Generators outed, the Tower is now vulnerable and a nuclear strike later, it blew to smithereens.
  13. Of Brother and Sister. Location: Giraud-Moebius Tiberium Crater. Five years after the Third Tiberium War, GDI now stand victorious and the Brotherhood back to it shadows once more, J-KDI busying rebuild their city and society when Dr. Liang receive a shocking news, his sister, Jade Liang had betrayed Kane and now withdrawn to her final stronghold deep within Central Asia Red Zone. Dr. Liang asked for permission to finish business with his sister and authorized by GDI High Command. As Jade stronghold is hard to breached, J-KDI use a more bold approach, drop a MCV dropped from orbit inside her compound and destroy it from within. As J-KDI about to attack, the Marked of Kane already begun their assault. This created distraction needed for the MCV to make land fall and how can Dr. Liang refuse such a chance. A MCV task force dropped behind Jade lines and start to set up shops while Jade busy fighting cyborgs. Only when she realized her defend line pincered by both mechs and cyborgs then it is already too late. Not willing give up, Jade activated four Cloning Vats, devices left behind from Soviet-era that can clones every infantry Jade forces have trained. Fortunately, the Kenan Corp reinforcements arrived and together, the three forces pushed toward Jade headquarter. Jade in her madness, denotate a Liquid-T Bomb, intended to take the attacker down but ultimately failed and captured by J-KDI troops. After a brief conversation, Dr. Liang bid farewell to his sister and handed her to a cyborg, then a gunshot rang ....

That all for this post. If you have any opinions, please let me know in the comment section below as usual. The next post is right about the corner as I take for a change and do a Kilian Loyalist NOD sub-faction next time. Thanks you for reading and I hope to hear from your comments soon. Best regards.

2024.05.15 10:36 OldPyjama Any games like this?

Hi everyone,
Big fan of Monster Sanctuary here. Though I finished the game a few months ago, I want to scratch that monster taming itch again.
At some point I will replay this great game, but I think it's too early to replay now as it's still fresh in my memory (still, next time I play it, I want a team with only Blobs)
Anyway, are there any games out there with a similar charm as Monster Sanctuary, preferably in pixel art like this one that aren't Pokemon? I was thinking about Coromon, but I'm not sure if it's any good. Anyone here played it?

Made an edit of the rules to print
https://preview.redd.it/abfoceloxj0d1.png?width=1512&format=png&auto=webp&s=7034960bc148ffcf943bc7d10ed299124165f998
Too Long Won't Read- I made a prettier version of the rules to print out with some small changes here and there.
While I really like this rule-set that was put out I wanted something that I could hand my players that wasn't just a bunch of text on pages. I also didn't care for a few of the formatting choices (keeping item descriptions and costs in one section, and their repair and crafting requirements in another for example). I have spent the last week going through and prettying up the rules with Vault Boy images from the games and some AI generated art as well as reformatted a lot of sections.
As I made this with an eye to printing it into an actual book the vast amount of changes have been in the formatting, primarily making the language more concise in order to fit sections of rules onto certain pages. A special eye was given to having both sides of a two page spread be relevant to each other as well, this lead to several full page art images being added as filler.
While few and far between there are some minor rule changes I made to suit my table you should be aware of if you want to print this out yourself:
  1. Power Armor Crafting has been changed so all suits take different materials, special equipment is needed, and Power Armor Chassis are now model specific(there is also a lore write up for different types of power armor to go along with this). Power armor stats have been tweaked as well.
  2. Climbing and Swimming. Maybe it is because my group doesn't play 5e, and I know the rules are based upon it, but we could not for the life of us figure out what was being described here so I wrote up new rules to fit what little we could glean from the original rule set.
  3. Syringe "Loader" variants are now locked into their variant at time of creation.
In addition to make the language in many sections more concise "missing" rules that are referenced are also included (Off-Balance, looking at you), and somethings are renamed so they point to the correct sections.
If you want to print this out I would recommend printing the cover separately and printing the "no cover" file so that the pages line up properly (if the page numbers are on the outside edge of the paper you printed it "correctly").
Unfortunately due to a font issue the PDF's aren't searchable, not a big deal for me as I intend to print it but might be annoying for those who prefer reading rules on a computer.
Enjoy, and my thanks to everyone who worked to put these rules together!

Will a potential employer contact a former employer without informing / asking for details?
I used to work for an extremely toxic private company. Cannot trust that they will advocate for me because I think if asked, they might say something harmful although I was good at my job. Currently at reference check stage of a potential company, they asked me for POC from one of my previous companies so I provided the details to another place I was at before the toxic one.
Now I am wondering if they can contact the toxic company without me providing any details. They did have a form in which there was a field asking "do you consent to us contacting your previous companies" and I clicked yes, because if I indicated no then I would need provide a reason why not... which I felt was opening a line of unnecessary questioning.
Please advise, I am quite stressed thinking about the possibility of being rejected just because they contacted the toxic company and heard something harmful from them.
Thank you very much in advance for your inputs!

2024.05.15 10:35 JokeCultural9610 Vox. One soul. Five fragmented personalities. Can you help me develop the fanfic, please?

I want to develop a character who has DID derived from PTSD, which in turn arose from a four-day period of suffering different atrocities. The character has no explicit memories of this four-day period, but their subconscious locks it away to avoid the pain of trauma and develops disorders as a defense mechanism. In addition to the mentioned disorders, the character has developed a refusal to eat food due to an apparently irrational line of thought and sensation that if they eat, they would be hypocritical for something, and therefore, more guilty. The character has 5 personalities. So far, I've only been able to conceptualize 3: the assistant, the machine, and the monster.
The monster is the murderous and harmful personality. It's what the character most instinctively tries to avoid manifesting, even if they don't know exactly why. It's the embodiment of their potential evil, and its appearances are always accompanied by tension and suspense. Even if not actually manifested (or is it?), the mere fact of appearing in nightmares and hallucinations already triggers panic attacks in the character. This is the most mysterious personality because the character has doubts about the nature of this personality that doesn't offer many explanations beyond the simple fact that it knows everything about him and is playing and affecting him; Is it a personality or a distinct demon? Is it a delusion or is it real? Is it himself or a separate being pretending to be him to scare him? Is it capable of killing the personalities, and if so, why doesn't it do it immediately instead of leaving the personalities unharmed? Why psychologically torture him if the function of fragmented personalities is to help in self-preservation? If it's real, why does it let him escape at the end of its ''games''? This personality (or not) is physically the largest, the most technological, the most inhuman, and presents more feats of strength despite appearing less, all geared towards psychological torture mainly, a literal kind of haunting like Pennywise's. It wreaks psychological havoc on the character in each of its personalities, and the most sensitive one, which is the one the other personalities most try to avoid being impacted by the monster, is the assistant personality, the personality that personifies human essence and, being based on the Superego and Ego and reflecting the distant past spent with his deceased good mother whose values were transmitted in his childhood and adolescence, is the personality that tries to maintain order, predominate, and reunite the fragmented personalities, although this self-imposed role is not easy and it is difficult to deal with the fear of what could happen if people found out that he and the other four 'people' are actually the same person who has DID; it is difficult to represent order while his other parts are more inclined to chaos and there is no direct interaction between the personalities. The assistant personality has blindness, whose degree varies depending nuancemente on the external and internal security situation it feels, but is always present because it results from an unresolved trauma. Glasses are used, the only one who does this. Blindness is more present in the assistant personality and less manifested in the other personalities because they are more detached from humanity. The assistant personality is the most divergent from what the character was before DID. Its form is more human, shorter, and less cybernetic, precisely because it reflects a distant period from the current one of the character. (A side note: the character is, in a way, a shapeshifter, so its personalities have a distinct form, some more similar to each other and others less similar, and vice versa. The metamorphosis is restricted to the forms the character has already had in its life and afterlife, and those forms it did not have are a more adapted version of the personality concept). The assistant is the most sensitive personality and the one that most tries to be virtuous, and because of these characteristics, it is the most vulnerable to the monster.
The machine personality is the psychological barrier. A wall for any emotions. An internal shield for trauma. It looks like a robot, like a machine, both for sentimental and behavioral issues. It does not feel emotions, is extremely rational, and is very connected to technology. Indeed, it is the most technological personality in the purest sense of the word, while the monster personality is the most technological in the most monstrous sense. Its function is to offer a more impartial view of situations and, because of the monster, to be the most solid shield for the assistant personality not to be haunted directly (and possibly killed) by the monster.
There are 2 more personalities to develop, and I'm working on it since it's a new idea I had.
The character is Vox.
The conceptual ideas for this fanfic that I intend to create, combined with my hobby of self-studying psychology/psychoanalysis/psychiatry, made me realize that I attribute four disorders to Vox:
• DID: According to the DSM-5 criteria, to be considered DID it is necessary: ▪︎Two or more distinct identities or personality states are present, each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self. ▪︎Amnesia must occur, defined as gaps in the recall of everyday events, important personal information, and/or traumatic events. ▪︎The person must be distressed by the disorder or have trouble functioning in one or more major life areas because of the disorder. ▪︎The disturbance is not part of normal cultural or religious practices. ▪︎The symptoms cannot be due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (such as blackouts or chaotic behavior during alcohol intoxication) or a general medical condition (such as complex partial seizures).
• PTSD: Symptoms of PTSD fall into the following four categories. Specific symptoms can vary in severity.
Intrusion: Intrusive thoughts such as repeated, involuntary memories; distressing dreams; or flashbacks of the traumatic event. Flashbacks may be so vivid that people feel they are reliving the traumatic experience or seeing it before their eyes. Avoidance: Avoiding reminders of the traumatic event may include avoiding people, places, activities, objects and situations that may trigger distressing memories. People may try to avoid remembering or thinking about the traumatic event. They may resist talking about what happened or how they feel about it. Alterations in cognition and mood: Inability to remember important aspects of the traumatic event, negative thoughts and feelings leading to ongoing and distorted beliefs about oneself or others (e.g., “I am bad,” “No one can be trusted”); distorted thoughts about the cause or consequences of the event leading to wrongly blaming self or other; ongoing fear, horror, anger, guilt or shame; much less interest in activities previously enjoyed; feeling detached or estranged from others; or being unable to experience positive emotions (a void of happiness or satisfaction). Alterations in arousal and reactivity: Arousal and reactive symptoms may include being irritable and having angry outbursts; behaving recklessly or in a self-destructive way; being overly watchful of one's surroundings in a suspecting way; being easily startled; or having problems concentrating or sleeping. Many people who are exposed to a traumatic event experience symptoms similar to those described above in the days following the event. For a person to be diagnosed with PTSD, however, symptoms must last for more than a month and must cause significant distress or problems in the individual's daily functioning. Many individuals develop symptoms within three months of the trauma, but symptoms may appear later and often persist for months and sometimes years. PTSD often occurs with other related conditions, such as depression, substance use, memory problems and other physical and mental health problems.
The four tabs below provide brief descriptions of four conditions related to PTSD: acute stress disorder, adjustment disorder, disinhibited social engagement disorder, and reactive attachment disorder. Source: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/ptsd/what-is-ptsd • Psychotic Depression: Psychotic depression Some people who have severe depression may also experience hallucinations and delusional thinking, the symptoms of psychosis.
Depression with psychosis is known as psychotic depression.
Symptoms of depression Someone with depression feels sad and hopeless for most of the day, practically every day, and has no interest in anything. Getting through the day feels almost impossible.
Other typical symptoms of depression may include:
fatigue (exhaustion) disturbed sleep changes in appetite feeling worthless and guilty being unable to concentrate or being indecisive thoughts of death or suicide Doctors describe depression as mild, moderate or severe depending on your symptoms, how long it lasts and how much it affects your daily life.
Read more about the psychological, physical and social symptoms of clinical depression
Symptoms of psychosis Having moments of psychosis (when people lose some contact with reality) means experiencing:
delusions – thoughts or beliefs that are unlikely to be true hallucinations – hearing and, in some cases, feeling, smelling, seeing or tasting things that are not there; hearing voices is a common hallucination The delusions and hallucinations almost always reflect the person's deeply depressed mood – for example, they may become convinced they're to blame for something, or that they've committed a crime.
"Psychomotor agitation" is also common. This means not being able to relax or sit still, and constantly fidgeting.
At the other extreme, a person with psychotic depression may have "psychomotor retardation", where both their thoughts and physical movements slow down.
People with psychotic depression have an increased risk of thinking about suicide. Source for more information: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/psychotic-depression/
• An as-yet unidentified eating disorder: This is the only one in which I do not know which exact diagnosis it fits into. It is a consequence of the trauma from the four-day period - including this period being one of the biggest mysteries in history and a great source of theories for readers, as it is the root of Vox's psychological mess, the divergence point that originated the entire fanfic and which the protagonist DOES NOT want to remember - that resulted in the trauma of eating. He does not feel like eating, not even the SIN OF GLUTTONY is able to make him eat - he is immune to her powers - and feels an apparently inexplicable instinct of guilt and hypocrisy when trying to eat, as if he were the worst being in the universe if he ate a food and a huge hypocrite; why and what exactly this innate thought of judging himself as a hypocrite is another mystery in the plot.
In this story, at least in the initial arcs, no one associates all five as being the same person, at most they associate only one/two of them with Vox. With the climaxes (yes, it's in the plural) throughout the story, the characters will find evidence and suspect and associate more and more of the other alters (as I call Vox's fragmented personalities) with the same person, which increases the narrative tension. Being the assistant personality the last to be accurately associated by the other characters, although she was the one that had the most tension and care in NOT being associated throughout the story because she is the human essence of Vox, reflects more the fragility of his soul state and is not ready to deal with the harsh social consequences that the actions of the other alters and Vox before DID caused, needing solid support and not wanting to lose all the friendly social relationships, although fragile, that he built as a separate being from Vox and the other alters. It is easier to hate than to love. The assistant personality does not want to risk losing the little support he has built. These relationships are extremely valuable to him. He doesn't want to have this taken away from him anymore. The relationships he built are based on the inhabitants of Hazbin Hotel.
All alters have Vox's trademark: the TV as
a head. All... except the assistant personality. This alter is the ONLY one that has a human head and is the smallest, being even a few centimeters smaller than Lucifer. The size of his hair goes up to just above his shoulders, but he ties them in a professional hairstyle. His clothes are similar to those of an assistant, and they have a palette of blue, black, and white colors. The color of his hair, influenced by his powers as a Media Demon, is black with dark blue streaks and tips.
His human appearance reflects a period when Vox was human. In my story Vox is a trans man, which means he was born female and went through a transition at some point in his adolescence or adulthood. The appearance of the assistant personality reflects an episode during his 13/14 years. In this episode, he did a special show for his father's assistant at a fancy restaurant. It was her last night in his life as she would unfortunately be sent away without a chance to return, and he was aware of this. He also knew that his father was responsible for her being sent away, although his innocence at the time made him not immediately detect that she would be KILLED by a hired hitman hired by the father and mother. The assistant was a loved one by the teenage Vox. She was a loving mother he never had, and because of the emotional attachment to her, he decided to do a musical show, showing for the first and last time to anyone his talent for piano and violin. He, at the time still not going through the transition, dressed more masculinely, used the best appearance he could, and used a pseudonym to enter the restaurant and make the presentation without being detected by the family. He did not explicitly specify for whom the music was intended, but the assistant, secretly his true biological mother, knew it was for her. That was the last time he would see her, and he made every second of that night count.
Vox's human female name was Elizabeth. I chose this name because it is a beautiful name, it was the name of the former queen of the United Kingdom, and it was the name of one of Jack the Ripper's victims, Elizabeth Stride.
Vox, during his adult life as a man and even post-death, buried his past as a woman. It was not a source of pride, especially for the family abuses suffered and the transphobia of the time. If the Vees, the people closest to him currently, do not have a deep understanding of Vox's human life as a man, imagine their knowledge of the initial part of his life before the transition!
That's why being called "Elizabeth" during the direct and indirect appearances of the monster personality already causes genuine and unmasked panic in him. It is an indication of knowledge of his deepest layers.
The story has a suspenseful atmosphere, with some horror scenes. We follow the alters individually, and as the story progresses, we realize along with the protagonist some strange, wrong things. The alters do not communicate directly with each other and, therefore, the character does not immediately perceive the signs of having multiple personalities. It was as if there were four people in one body and none of them noticed, according to the perspective of the assistant personality, the alter that we slowly follow discovering the huge web of the situation he's in. There's something very wrong with Vox, more specifically his soul. But there's an invisible barrier that prevents the character from investigating further, like an elephant in the middle of the room. Each alter has its own course, all acting as if they were distinct people and not associating with each other. This is bad socially speaking in the long run, because sooner or later the clash of beliefs and values built among the alters will come into conflict and the individual consequences of their actions will negatively impact each other. The monster personality served to add more salt to the wound. It is by far the most harmful, appearing little but causing a huge mess in return. Don't think of it as a kind of Hulk, because Hulk is a destructive monster that his counterpart, Bruce, can try to control and turn into a hero, and everyone is aware of Hulk's nature, which is easy to understand and try to contain; whereas the monster personality is an enigma at the same time as it is a nightmare, there is no discussion with it, it causes psychological terror in Vox's alters, its apparently internal actions affect the external world of the alters, it is unpredictable, it is the literal meaning of hell. The monster personality has already caused physical harm to the alters, although they did not exactly remember, mainly the assistant personality, the most oblivious of all for a reason. I want to relate the monster personality to Roo.

2024.05.15 10:34 Yarus43 NCR really put me on the ropes

Was playing Montana enclave, went down the Uber evil route for that sweet pa and verti birds. Anyways I conquer all my objectives and get a ton of vassals, at one point I have 25k man power, and around 50 divisions with 29 of them being advanced pa, and a bunch of heavy bots, enclave aux and mobile infantry.
Anyways, I get in a war with the more lurk cult because they're attacking my vassal, the Washington enclave. Beat them and then decide eh I want to take back arroyo and Navarro. Declare war on arroyo and NCR. They're at war with lanius and getting beat back hard, to add to that Mr house has pushed them out of shady sands, I push them to to San Fran and lost hills, then I get lazy and I have to retreat. All of a sudden lost hills wakes up takes San Fran, and a huge swath.
Somehow, NCR beat back every one of us. They had 190k casualties and we're down to 7 manpower, the map got messy I suck at managing front lines so I got encircled.

Moved to Belgium for a job that I thought I would love. Working environment is very toxic and it’s causing me a lot of panic attacks. Now I do have a history of mental health problems and I want to quit this job but I don’t have anything else lined up. I have been working in this job 6 months. Is this long enough to go on sick leave and claim sick leave benefits? I would prefer to recover and go back with better boundaries than to quit all together. What are the laws exactly for how long one should work before receiving benefits? Thanks

2024.05.15 10:30 Zackouille How to stop being a perfectionist?

Hi, I'm in the middle of my journey to learn how to draw, the problem is I tend to be extremely perfectionist and it is ruining my improvement, I can't seem to help it, I try to lower my expectations but then I get frustrated when a line is 2mm more to the left than I wanted it to be and it sucks, I tried a few things to prevent that, like drawing with a pen instead of a pencil to avoid erasing stuff but I still get really frustrated, one of the things that kinda helped me tho is drawing with a time limit, I sometimes play gartic phone with some friends and since there's a time limit that allows me not to care too much about everything, that's embarrassing but because of this I draw way better on gartic phone than when I draw seriously, I tried to set myself time limits when I draw normally but I never respect them... Also I tend to want to draw fast, I get really impatient Anyways, if you guys have any tips to relax and stop being so maniac about it I would greatly appreciate it!

Dental Implants in Turkey: Your Ultimate Solution for a Brighter Smile

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth or bridges. Made from biocompatible materials like titanium, implants fuse with the jawbone, mimicking the function of natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a plethora of benefits beyond aesthetics. They enhance chewing ability, prevent bone loss, improve speech, and boost self-confidence. Unlike dentures, implants provide a permanent solution with minimal maintenance requirements.

Cost-effectiveness of Dental Implants

While initial costs may seem daunting, dental implants offer long-term savings compared to traditional tooth replacement options. With proper care, they can last a lifetime, reducing the need for frequent replacements associated with bridges or dentures.

Preparing for Dental Implants

Initial Consultation

The journey begins with a thorough consultation with a dental implant specialist. During this visit, the dentist assesses your oral health, discusses treatment options, and addresses any concerns or questions you may have.

Dental Examination and Treatment Planning

Following the initial consultation, a comprehensive dental examination is conducted to evaluate the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. This information is crucial for creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Pre-operative Care and Instructions

Before undergoing the implant procedure, your dentist will provide detailed pre-operative instructions. This may include lifestyle modifications, dietary restrictions, and medications to optimize healing and reduce the risk of complications.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Anesthesia and Sedation Options

On the day of the procedure, you'll be given various anesthesia and sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Your dentist will discuss the best approach based on your medical history and personal preferences.

Implant Placement Process

The implant placement process involves surgically inserting the titanium implant into the jawbone. This requires precision and expertise to ensure proper alignment and stability for long-term success.

Healing and Osseointegration

After implant placement, a period of healing is necessary to allow the implant to integrate with the surrounding bone. This process, known as osseointegration, typically takes several months but is crucial for the implant to become fully functional.

Attaching the Abutment

Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This component serves as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth or bridge, providing support and stability.

Placement of the Dental Crown

The final step involves placing the dental crown, which is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. The crown is securely attached to the abutment, completing the restoration and restoring your smile to its former glory.

Aftercare and Recovery

Post-operative Care Instructions

After the implant procedure, your dentist will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. This may include instructions for oral hygiene, dietary restrictions, and follow-up appointments.

Managing Discomfort and Swelling

It's normal to experience some discomfort and swelling following the implant procedure. Your dentist may recommend over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs to alleviate symptoms and promote comfort.

Dietary Recommendations for Optimal Healing

During the initial healing phase, it's essential to follow a soft diet that is gentle on your gums and teeth. Avoid hard, sticky, or crunchy foods that may put undue pressure on the implants and interfere with the healing process.

Advantages of Choosing Turkey for Dental Implants

World-Class Dental Facilities

Turkey boasts state-of-the-art dental facilities equipped with the latest technology and amenities. From digital imaging to advanced surgical techniques, you can expect world-class care in a comfortable and modern setting.

Experienced and Skilled Dental Professionals

Turkish dentists are renowned for their expertise and proficiency in implant dentistry. With extensive training and experience, they deliver superior results and ensure the highest standards of patient safety and satisfaction.

Cost Savings without Compromising Quality

One of the most significant advantages of choosing Turkey for dental implants is cost savings. The overall cost of treatment, including consultation, surgery, and follow-up care, is significantly lower compared to many Western countries, making it an affordable option for patients seeking quality dental care.

Combining Dental Treatment with a Relaxing Vacation

Beyond dental care, Turkey offers a rich cultural experience and breathtaking landscapes, making it an ideal destination for combining dental treatment with a relaxing vacation. Whether you're exploring historic landmarks or indulging in culinary delights, Turkey offers something for everyone.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

  1. What are dental implants? Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to support replacement teeth or bridges. They offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics.
  2. How long do dental implants last? With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for ensuring the longevity of your implants.
  3. Is the dental implant procedure painful? Thanks to advancements in anesthesia and sedation options, most patients report minimal discomfort during the dental implant procedure. Your dentist will ensure your comfort throughout the process.
  4. What is the success rate of dental implants? Dental implants have a success rate of over 95%, making them one of the most reliable tooth replacement options available. Factors such as good oral hygiene and regular dental visits contribute to the success of implants.
  5. Can anyone get dental implants? While most individuals with good oral and overall health are suitable candidates for dental implants, a thorough evaluation by a dental professional is necessary to determine eligibility. Factors such as bone density and gum health play a crucial role in the success of implants.
  6. How much do dental implants cost in Turkey compared to other countries? The cost of dental implants in Turkey is significantly lower compared to many Western countries, making it an attractive option for individuals seeking affordable dental care without compromising quality. Prices may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the clinic's location.

Conclusion

In conclusion, dental implants in Turkey offer a winning combination of quality, affordability, and expertise, making it an ideal destination for restoring your smile. By understanding the procedure, benefits, and aftercare involved, you can embark on this journey with confidence, knowing that you're in capable hands.

Hi everyone, Me and my partner are first time buyers and are in the almost final stages of the sale. At this stage we have just had a homebuyers survey done - as we were told to by our mortgage advisor to have a survey done after the mortgage offer was in place. This has been a mistake to get this done later on down the line.
The conveyancing searches have all come back too as well as the survey results. The property is over 100 years old so we knew it would come back with some 'issues' and points raised. The roof needs lots of work. It is leaking and the house is full of damp, it needs an invasive damp inspection, and replacement windows. It also needs an asbestos check. I also have a health condition where I am an oxygen user so we can't afford to be moving in a house that is full of damp.
At this point we have decided to pull out of the sale but have not made this official yet as we have a builder out to finalise the decision by having a quote for some work. We have already seen another property on Rightmove that is within our budget that we are trying to arrange a viewing on.
With pulling out of this sale the mortgage we understand that the mortgage offer will be gone, and we would have to reapply. Would this mean we would also need another MIP to make an offer on another house when we have officially pulled out of this one? We are first time buyers and have no idea how this works and will probably take more time to go through the whole process again.
We are absolutely devastated about this house sale falling through and the bad survey.

2024.05.15 10:26 Possible_Twist1312 Explanation for Mobile Device Management

Mobile Device Management (MDM) is like a superhero software that IT folks use to keep all our gadgets safe and sound. It’s designed to control and protect devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets, even those fancy IoT gadgets. MDM can live in the cloud or hang out onsite, and it’s all about making sure our devices stay in line while keeping us productive.
With MDM, IT pros can watch over our devices, send out security rules, and make sure everything’s running smoothly. They can track device health, decide what apps we can use, and even find lost or stolen devices. It’s like having a guardian angel for our gadgets!
So, how does device management do its magic? Well, it makes sure our devices are supported, safe, and ready for work, all without cramping our style. It works best when it teams up with other security measures, like strong passwords and fancy location tracking.
And get this: MDM software has come a long way. Now, it’s super smart and can even detect new devices joining the network, applying rules from one central spot. It’s like having a personal tech guru looking out for us all.
