Is this normal?
Our gecko is a year old and up until recently, she was eating well. However, in the last couple of weeks she doesn’t seem to be eating. We’ve tried to hand feed her and she turns her nose up at it. We even offered waxworms, which she usually loves, and she’s not interested.
We looked online and it suggested she’s of an age where she might be ovulating so we tried to get a photo of her stomach to see if that was the case and this is how it looked. It doesn’t look like the photos we found online. Is this normal? And if not, does anybody have any suggestions for what we could try before we contact a vet? Sorry that the photo is not great.

2024.05.15 23:25 RiskBoot Which to try

I'm debating about trying out Affinity as I get more and more into photography. I know photo is probably the way to go but wasnt sure if I should give the other programs a shot too. I mainly want a photo editing software that's closer to photoshop. I've worked with photoshop briefly but nothing too much. Is Affinity Photo the one to go for or are the others good for photo editing too?

2024.05.15 23:25 Top_Emu_5618 7 Experimental Films Reviewed

(Translated from French to English)
Those films are hard to find. I reviewed them because if I did not, who would?
Films viewed at the cinema library on May 15, 2024, in the Film Talks 2 series
Here are short reviews of seven of the eleven experimental short films screened at the cinematheque as part of the second part of Film Talks.
Leaving and Arriving par Lynn Loo (2017)
This film shows the departure and arrival of a train at the station filmed from inside a carriage. Arrival and departure share the same two-part screen. For the most part they are on screen simultaneously, but it also happens that the departure is shown independently of the arrival and the reverse is also true. In these cases, the other half of the screen is left blank. The originality of this film consists of superimposing part of the video showing the arrival and part of the video showing the departure in the center. This gives the impression that the train is stupid with two heads going in opposite directions. This creates an interesting setting to say the least, as two landscapes seen through the windows are both very similar and very different.
We can see this film as a late response to the Lumière brothers' film entitled The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station . It's fascinating to see the progress we've made and such a simple event can still be a source of experimentation in the year 2020.

Available Light par William Raban (2016)
This film shows the reading of Capital by Karl Marx in accelerated fashion. The director chose to shoot only using natural winter light. An eccentric choice which presents a certain complexity because it makes reading the pages longer. But this choice remains in vain, because the film plays in fast motion and any feeling of difficulty or length evaporates. Reading a poorly lit page and a lit page seem equal. Besides, it seems a little pretentious to me to choose to film the reading of Capital if the difficulty of the subject of the book does not have more of an impact on the film. For example, we would have liked to see the reader go back to other pages, make annotations, highlight passages. None of this happens in the film and in my opinion it is a missed potential. For these reasons, the film does not seem to be of much interest.

Strontium by Malcolm Le Grice (2021)
With this film, the director decided to superimpose other less recognizable images on travel images, keeping only shades of blue and orange on the latter. The result of this experience gives the film a certain strength, there emerges an apocalyptic anxiety, perhaps even nostalgic, in seeing the first, so soft, images being covered and obscured by these tints of color. The feeling of anxiety can only be exacerbated by the soundtrack. Produced with the crashing sounds of a waterfall on rocks, it can be both gently nostalgic and terrifying when it evokes the radioactive fallout of an atomic explosion. This latter interpretation seems to be confirmed by the title of the work.
Intervals par Simon Payne (2023)
Stripes of primary colors of varying opacity intersect at different angles to form shapes, patterns, appearances of movement. This film is captivating. It seems impossible to distinguish the end of a finished movement and the beginning of another, as each image dissolves into the previous one. Thus the movements of the color bands blend into each other instead of ending. It's easy when watching this film to think of Norman McLaren's films, for example, Horizontal Lines and Vertical Lines . If now, making this type of film may seem easy, even programmable by computer, the fact remains that once again it has been proven that we can maintain the attention of an audience simply by playing with colors and tempos.
A State of Grace par John Smith (2019)
Thanks to its narration and editing, this film manages to construct a very simple story from images that we have all seen from the moment we read the safety instructions on a plane. By interpreting these images differently, by juxtaposing them in a judicious order, the director manages to make people laugh and reflect on anxiety. We read the safety instructions for an airplane, and we heard them from the pilot's mouth. They are familiar to us, but not to the narrator who takes a plane for the first time. With this film, the director manages to demonstrate the importance of editing and narration in cinema. Along the way, it also proves that experimental cinema can make people laugh.
Animal Studies par Guy Sherwin (1998-2023)
As the title suggests, this series of films is about animals. These play the main role in that no biological or taxonomic scenario or indication is given to their subjects. The camera just films their random movements and the material for the film is there. It is then somewhat modified. Some birds seem to dance with their shadows. Fireflies appear to trace lines of light against a starry background. The spiders seem to be performing a ritual. In short, with animals the filmmaker creates poetry. The films thus become much more than the simple study envisaged by the title.
The Oblique par Jayne Parker (2018)
Shots of magnolias to a soundtrack composed with a violin. The shots of magnolias and those with the violin alternate with each other. But, even when the violin is not on screen, we continue to hear its music making the pretty magnolia flowers even more moving. It is difficult to say if the magnolias are the illustration of the music played by the violin or if the violin is the voice of the magnolias. But, in any case, so much beauty cannot really leave the viewer indifferent.

2024.05.15 23:23 timmeh129 Upgrading to air M3 — 8gb or 16gb?

So I know this probably gets asked a lot, and I promise I've made some internet research but I really need some personal perspective.
I'm looking at buying a new macbook RN. As I understand my best bet today is the Air M3. So I'm deliberating on whether I should get the 16GB or the base model. I don't have a lot of knowledge about macbooks or how their memory works and stuff so I really have no perspective on these things.
Currently I'm using a 2018 13" Pro (i7 chip, 4 thunderbolts, 8Gb/256Gb). This is my first Mac (windows boi for most of my life), I got it like 4 years ago. I'm using it every single day for work and leisure, so mostly I use google docs, lots of chrome surfing (10-15 tabs), conference calls, youtube/streaming, spotify w/bluetooth speakeheadphones 70% of the time. I also play games occasionally (steam indie stuff) and sometimes do little photo editing in PS. I also sometimes use GarageBand and hook up my guitars to the notebook and do some recording and playing through the mac. For the most part my laptop does fine with this stuff just recently it started to kinda fail on me with occasional extreme heating and lagging.
So all of those things I'm planning to do on a new laptop. Probably the 8GB version will be enough but... I'm really hoping for it to last a while. I mean, A WHILE. I don't want to think about upgrading the thing for 5 years at least. And of course getting a new machine I'd like to have some more possibilities with it, not just the same thing but newer. Currently I don't do anything extreme with my Macbook but its not because I don't wanna, but because I realize that its not capable of something more. So I'd love to have some headspace for stuff I'd possibly get into. Some newer games would be nice. Some better DAW would be nice. Maybe something like easy modeling or design would be nice at some point. Of course I'm realistic about this and I'm not expecting even the 16gig version to run a movie production studio and Baldur's gate 3 at the same time.
So is it worth to spend the extra buck? I'm not in the US dollars and the 16/256/10-core GPU here is like 40% more expensive. I can squeeze out the dime but should I? Realistically, how much better is it?

2024.05.15 23:22 Bee_Lucky23 Facebook photo transfer overwriting google photo albums?

Hi all.
So about 3 weeks ago I was on fb for the first time in ages and decided I would transfer my photos from there to my Google photos. As then all my photo albums could be in one place. Fb asked if meta could access my Google photos and of course I said yes. Email from meta saying transfer complete etc but I didn't actually check in Google photos until the other day when I realised all the albums I'd created in the last few years have now been replaced by this influx of old fb albums. The Google photos themselves are still there as far as I can work out...but any albums I've created in my Google photos account can't be seen, apart from 2 shared albums made in 2022 / 23.
Do I now have to recreate every album in Google photos and hope the chronological order comes back? Bc all the old fb albums contain loads of photos of my ex boyf, my dead cat, and my dear dead Mum which I don't want to see every time I open the photos app 😩
Google help said they couldn't do anything, it would have to be fb but have you ever tried contacting fb support?! It's impossible! Just spent 3 hours going round in circles. Hateful app in every way 👹
I just want to roll back my Google photos account to 3 weeks ago and have all my albums arranged as I'd created them over the past few years.
Surely fb can't get away with totally rearranging people's Google albums?!
I can't even find anyone with the same issue online but surely it can't just be me that this has happened to?
Thank you in advance hivemind!!

2024.05.15 23:21 Anhxtaiii Am I [28M] wrong here? [F27)

This might be a long read so brace yourself ...
When I'm asking if I'm being in the wrong here I only mean in terms of accountability and in regards to the situation and not so much about the wrong or right itself and would like some insight/advice basically..
TLDR:

Mixed feelings about a girl I just been dating for a few weeks or so? We only met around 2 times in person since she's somewhat busy. I feel like I'm putting more effort and energy than receiving it but unsure if it's just because the other person prefer taking things slow but I can't tell because whenever I ask her if she's interested, she's always kinda deflecting the subject. She's going to be away for the next 4 months so I won't be able to talk to her and our last convo this morning was kinda awkward ..

Relationships Background: I met my first ex a few months ago and she gave me a speedrun of everything most couple would usually do after a few months and since I didn't know any better I just went with it since she was my first everything. It ended with her initiating the breakup after less than a month after 2 weeks of long distance after she came to visit me. She gave me the "it's not you, it's me" and "you are the first one to treat me right" (she had multiple partners). She was also a bit insecure and sensitive and needed constant reassurance.
In the case of [HER], all her exes are by products of one night stands which ended up into relationship because they all asked her for one to her surprised and she just agreed with them. She described as liking them but not really ever falling in love with them so I guess I'm the first one to be fall into that category. In [HER] case, she is highly confident about herself and in what she accomplish (makes a lot more money than the average person). She gets self gratification from making money even though she can just live off her parents wealth but she finds having nothing to do boring so she became independent.
With that in mind, here's how this story starts.
On April 3rd, I reinstall Hinge because I want to have some new connection after moving on from my ex. It's not until April 23rd when I match with [HER]. At first I was surprised since I didn't expect it so I express my surprised via text in which she later explained her side via a voice note saying that she thought I looked like one of her students so she was afraid someone would recognize her which is her fear so she never matched with me. (I sent her a total of around 4 likes because I used to delete my account and make a new one again and her acc would always show and she kinda recognize from that as well.)
After that, we just exchange a lot of voice notes talking to each other about stuff and things which later I ask if its okay for me to ask her to go out on a date at this point. She then explains she has some requirements before actually going on a date with someone, she prefers getting someone a little bit more and seeing if we're compatible before meeting since she finds it weird how most people would rush which I agreed.
From there, we talk a bit more via voice note where she asks me what's my definition of love and my concept of relationships which she said almost is the same as hers. She explained for her to fall in love for someone it would at least take her 5 years or so and that's after they're able to past the 4 stages of love described in her own way; honeymoon phase, difference, compromise and initial stage of love.
The next day we just talk some more via text and and voice notes till 2 AM and what not talking about random things and life. At this point, I thought we had some good chemistry or so. We later talk about our exes and stuff.
A few days later I then try and ask again for a date since it felt like we had established some sort of rapport and knew a bit more of each other. She then tells me more about her schedule and how busy she'll be and how she'll be traveling soon in the next 2 weeks for her school stuff. At some point she said she had a symposium she was organizing at the university and I asked if it would be weird If I came to see her.
She said she didn't mind but wouldn't have time to cater me since it would be busy. Please also note that up until this point, I didn't know her real name since in Hinge she's using some random name and I didn't really ask her about it since I guess she didn't want to but I figure me showing up to that event, I would at least find what's her name which I did.
Anyways day comes and I show up to the event, it's is a medium size classroom. I didn't recognize her at first since she had a different haircut. I didn't wanna intrude or anything so I just sat there listening to the event till the end. I didn't really get the chance to talk to her or anything by the end since they had an after party and whatnot so I decided to head home instead feeling somewhat weird? So rather than just heading straight home I just sat there on the subway train listening to music instead. I texted her saying I wished we could have spent a bit of time together but you looked so busy and what not.
After a few minutes later I decide to head out for a walk because I was just feeling weird, I then see a text from her inviting me to help with returning books to the library if I want to which I agreed. To my surprised she showed up with two luggages .. which we just walked around till we reach the library. From there, I got to finally meet her in person and talk to her for a bit. I thought we had a good time, by the end I walked her home and that was mostly. We just kinda waved to her each and say goodbye to each other. I was kinda thirsty that night so I asked her for water but she gave me some korean brand banana juice instead. I then later send her a text thanking her for inviting me to help her which she doesn't reply to.
She's usually only replies if I initiate the conversation first which then let me gaslight myself into thinking it's because she's probably busy .. anyways we text each other for a bit that night because I asked for her number later instead of using Hinge. I then get somewhat down bad and ask if I can see her again tomorrow in which she replies "what's the benefit of seeing you again tomorrow?" which I thought was funny but she was serious. She had to write her REB so I guess she didn't really have time.
It's then the weekend and on the morning of Saturday she invites me to join her to the library and then we can eat at some place later if I want to where she'll be busy working on some stuff. She emphasize that she'll be annoyed if she is disturbed while trying to get work done which I didn't mind since my work is online and I only need a laptop to work.
I showed up at the library a bit early and letting her know, she then tells me she's going to get some coffee nearby first and then meet me so I wait for her at the library. Around 30 min goes by and I start getting a bit worried because she still hasn't showed up and hasn't given me any updates at which point I text her if anything is alright or if she's safe and what not. I get no answers for a bit then later she texts me she's inside where I was on my way to the coffee so I go back inside and then we just sit near each other and focus on our work. I give her the same korean banana juice which I found later at some korean market I went by to buy before meeting her. A few hours goes by we then go to a japanese place by walking there so I get to speak with her for a bit which was nice. I then pay for the bill then walk her home and then again we just wave to each other and say goodbye.
At this point, there has been no physical affection or the sort. Her body language isn't really telling me she's comfortable so I'm not really going for it even though I'm starving for it. I figure she prefers taking things slow so I'll go at her pace. Again, I text her later thanking her for inviting me and spending some time together which I appreciate. She doesn't really reply and giving me back the same energy.
So constantly, I'm always wondering if she's interested in me or enjoy spending time with me. When I ask her about it, it most of the time gets deflected or maybe it's a language barrier and I don't always get what she means when she sends some of her texts if I'm being honest but for some reason I find it cute. it's not like she's playing hard to get but it's confusing to say the least.
Anyways, because of that, I became hesitant to make plans to see her again since she doesn't really people calling her on the phone either unless absolutely necessary she explained to which I joked saying if I'm about to die then I'll call you.
After that second "date". i just try to limit my interaction to texting her a few text daily or so because I just wanted to have some kind of interaction with her. At this point I realized this may or may not be a one-side interest but then I gaslight myself thinking, she's a busy person and still makes some time for me so surely she's interested in some way?.
After a week or so of daily interaction I decide to somewhat stop contact because I also wanted to focus on my stuff and perhaps explore my other dating options if any .. a week goes by and I never hear from her again until one day she just sends me a text that just finished working at some factory as an interpreter and that her phone will be temporarily be disabled because she'll be traveling.
I then expressed my surprised because I figured she had forgotten about me and whatnot. We then exchange a few text here and there, we both caught a cold and talked about how shitty the weather is here and stuff. Again, I'm always the one having to initiate or there won't be any contact .. like at all. So it's hard for me to know if the person is interested even when being asked so I'm left with just overthinking.
Anyways, I ask her more about what time she's leaving and what time and if she wants to spends the last 2 days eating out and spending time together and stuff.
She said she went to some resto the day before but it was busy and had no table because of mother's day. At this point, I looked up the resto because I wanted to make some reservation so we could go there but I stopped myself because I had no idea what kind of situationship this was and if I was putting more effort and not receiving any. So I ended up sleeping instead.
The next day in the morning she texts me she went back to that resto but found out it's only open on certain days for brunch so she was sad and we exchanged a few random texts from that.
then the next day, this is our last conversation this morning before she's away for the next 4 months ..
ME
Will I see you again after 4 months or this is goodbye..? I feel a bit envious of your exes because they all got to be in a relationship with you and meet the girlfriend version of [HER] and all I ever got seems to be the busy version that just sends me off saying bye bye and leaving me confused most of the time with her texts haha 😅
HER
? wtf you don at 6 am plus even boyfriends need to see me off for the summer. I only going for fieldwork, not leaving. don't worry, you will see me when I'm back
ME
I was trying to fix my sleep schedule and I ended up waking up early randomly and then you were in my thoughts idk What do you mean I'll see you after you're back, are you saying you want me to wait for you? 😭 I don't even know what we are, I figured you're too busy to think about that or me as an option so I'm left overthinking.. I would have wanted to see you off but I didn't know where we stand
HER
I thought you gonna visit yesterday since you asked
ME
I wanted to but I didn't know if you wanted me to since it seemed you wanted to go to [restaurant] I was gonna make reservations there but then I realized I might be doing too much because I don't know we're in a relationship or just buddies. Now you leave in one hour and I'm even more confused
HER
Can't you see the problem in your first 'relationship' is that you guys rush everything? In my opinion, you don't know how to form healthy relationships. Take it slow. If you want to see me, make plans. Don't moan afterwards this and that. I can tell you I have always been very busy even with boyfriends. I suggest you set goals and we can celebrate together once you achieve them. I will be back in September. You're welcome to contact me then.
ME
Yes I agree that rushing was the issue in my first but in this case it's more of a mutual interest and communication. From my perspective, it seems like I'm chasing you for some reason because I'm not getting the same energy that I'm sending out. It seems you only respond if I initiate first. I'm always left wondering if you actually want to spend time with me or interested. When I ask you about that, you seem to be deflecting instead of giving me a straight answer or tell me how you feel.. I literally have no idea what you feel most of the time aside from being busy
I can take it slow as a 100 years as long that I know the other person is also interested in building something together in the near future with me. I do want to make plans but it's hard to differentiate if I'm being used for my kindness or for attention when I receive no reassurance when being asked for it? Surely you understand the concept of return on investment.
Or maybe you're right, maybe I'm the problem idk..
HER
well, investment. I would say even my friends invest more on me than you, if you really want to argue that. I also think if we can't make good friends, we won't make good couples. If you rush things, I will retreat because I need my independence more than anything. Make you own choice. Do not talk like a victim.
I didnt really reply anything after that because well not sure how to respond after reading that so I ended up on reddit instead.
NEED OBJECTIVE OPINIONS/ADVICES? I consider myself pretty in tune with myself and my emotions but here I find myself a bit confused and I can't tell if I'm getting clingy or obsessive or too close to the situation to think clearly so I figured I'd make a post and hear some of yall thoughts on this to see if maybe I'm the one who still need to work on myself or maybe we're just not compatible? I guess it would also help me get some closure and not feel so shitty.
p.s if you made it this far, thank you for reading and hopefully you have some insight on my situation since I do not have that much experience when it comes to dating certain girls.
i also passively use twitter and saw this tweet that goes: I’ve noticed I don’t have an issue communicating. My issue is people’s responses . It’s the lack of accountability and the one-sided perceptions that I cannot tolerate.
And I thought that was kinda how I'm feeling right now but not sure ...

Icarus reaching for the sun behind Hamsa
Hey guys, just got Icarus added to my Hamsa tattoo. Not 100% finished, still need to complete part of the wing and place the sun. I’m placing my tattoos with the goal to create a connected piece that spans my upper left back, shoulder blade, left arm.
First couple photos is my tattoo, follow ups are some inspiration/artwork I’d like to integrate into the tattoo. I’d love to hear your ideas.
Ideas, placement, background, filler?

2024.05.15 23:16 Asleep-Pea-2184 Help with general tailwind practices

Hey guys,
I'm brand new to tailwind. My company hired designers that built us figma style guides. I'm not sure exactly if or how I should be editing the tailwind config file for best practices. For example, the designers gave us font sizes / font colors / background colors / font familys / font colors. Two of the font colors are primary, and secondary. tailwind has no text-primary class that I could overwrite, so I would create a new one in the config file. However, wouldnt this then conflict if I had a font size called primary? Wouldn't font-primary then represent both the color and font size?
I just dont really understand how tailwind works when you want to customize stuff like this. Should i even be customizing anything or should I just use whats already defined? Like if the design says dark blue is primary color, should I just use text-darkblue as the tailwind style? (Or whatever darkblue text utility class for figma is).
For another example, there are 4 different background color shades that get progressively darker. I assume I will need to create custom colors in theme in the tailwind config file. How should I be naming these?
I just dont really understand how I'm supposed to build this and what best practices are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: one other thing - for some elements of the design everything is totally custom and one time use (font size / color / letter spacing). Should I be creating utility classes for this or just not using tailwind and writing raw CSS here? What would tailwind developers generally do here?

2024.05.15 23:15 slanjx 7900XTX has bad coil whine, is there a way I can stop/mitigate this?

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard
BIOS Version: FA1
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
PSU: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold
Case: Lian Li LANCOOL 215
Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11 PRO
GPU Drivers: Latest AMD Drivers 24.4.1
Chipset Drivers: Latest AMD Drivers
Background Applications: Brave, Discord, Starfield
Description of Original Problem: Bad coil whine on my GPU, bought this in September and tried to ignore but it becomes loud enough to hear through headphones when the game is quiet. I have included a video which you can hear the coil whine whilst playing Starfield. Everytime I exit the pause menu it starts and stops as soon as I enter again. I'm unsure of any way to fix this other than trying to RMA the card as it is still under warranty, not sure if this problem is being exacerbated by the fact that my GPU has 2 cables going into it and one is daisy chained to go as the third (this can be seen in the video) unfortunately though that is all the cables that I received with my PSU. Note that fans are at max rpm in video.
Troubleshooting: I haven't been able to troubleshoot as the only advice I could find online was to undervolt and I am not quite sure on how to do this yet. I am looking for any advice :)

I got the idea recently as I was picking up flowers for Mother's Day.
The owner of the business I bought the flowers from was young. He was around my age, early 30s. He seemed happy and passionate about his flowers.
I have absolutely no experience in gardening or flower selling, but I've always loved flowers. The way they smell, the colours, the elegance.
I do have a background in web development and I plan for this to be a fully online business so I would code and update the website myself.
On the business side of things, I have no idea where to start.
For those of you who own a flower business can you please give me advice on initial investments, equipment, where and how to learn, etc? I live in Canada for relevance.
Thank you for the help!

I have installed Photoprism on Truenas Scale via truechart apps. The server has an powerfull CPU and GPU. I think the app uses sqlite as database and I cant edit photo information on more that 4-5 photos before the db is locked up and taking forever to update. Is there a guide for installing a more powerfull version of photoprism on Truenas Scale? Its not utilizing the potential server at all.

2024.05.15 23:06 Brief_Mycologist1225 Keep Your Prints Crisp: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Cartridge Printer in Egypt

For many Egyptians, a reliable printer is an essential tool for work, education, and even personal projects. But with so many options available, choosing the right cartridge printer can feel overwhelming. Hardware Egypt, your one-stop shop for all things computer and hardware, is here to help!

This comprehensive guide will equip you with the knowledge to select the perfect cartridge printer for your needs, ensuring top-notch performance and value.

Understanding Cartridge Printers

Cartridge printers, also known as inkjet or laser printers, utilize cartridges containing ink or toner to produce prints on paper. These cartridges are replaceable, offering a cost-effective printing solution. Here's a breakdown of the two main types:

Inkjet Printers:

Ideal for home users and occasional printing.
Produce high-quality prints for photos and graphics.
Inkjet cartridges typically have lower page yields compared to laser printers.
Laser Printers:

Perfect for high-volume printing needs in offices or for frequent users.
Known for their sharp text and fast printing speeds.
Laser toner cartridges generally offer a higher page yield, making them more cost-effective in the long run for frequent printing.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Cartridge Printer

Now that you understand the basics, let's explore some key factors to consider when selecting your printer:

Printing Volume: How often will you be printing? Occasional users can get by with a basic inkjet printer. For frequent printing, a laser printer with a high page yield toner cartridge is a better choice.
Print Quality: Do you need high-resolution photos and graphics, or is crisp text printing sufficient? Inkjet printers excel in photo printing, while laser printers are ideal for sharp text documents.
Budget: Consider both the initial printer cost and the ongoing expense of replacing cartridges. While laser printers might have a higher upfront cost, their toner cartridges often last longer, making them more economical in the long run for high-volume printing.
Connectivity: Do you need to print wirelessly from your laptop, phone, or tablet? Choose a printer with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity for added convenience.
Size and Footprint: Consider the available space for your printer. Inkjet printers are generally more compact, while laser printers can be larger.

2024.05.15 23:02 Justasmolpigeon One orange isopod baby??

I got two Greek hissing isopods (A officinalis) from a plant. Two weeks later, one went missing (think it escape or just died) and 1 week after, I’m digging around and I see one very small orange/red isopod running around under a log. It’s obviously very young, but why would there only be 1? Are the Greek babies usually supposed to be orange? There’s a slug in the tank too.
Edit: the likelihood of the two breeding during the 2 short weeks is rare, they were in a very stressed, wet, centipede-infested environment back at the plant store. The first isopod came with a plant, I went back to the store to rescue the other one. Chances of them being pregnant is extremely low. However, this is definitely a baby. I couldn’t get a photo because it was so damn quick. Could it be a different species, as it looked more flat and the legs and antennae were more ‘spread out’?

2024.05.15 22:55 pinktulips8989 Advice requested: wall heater camouflage

Hello! I rent in San Francisco and each room has a built in electric wall heater installed. The placement of the heaters in the other rooms are quite low to the ground and aren’t as noticeable but this one in the living room is in the middle of the wall and is an eyesore. Can I paint it to camouflage with the wall? If so, is there a specific type of paint? I’ve looked online to just replace it but can’t find anything that’s more visually appealing, and have seen some advice saying that you can paint, but the photo examples show a different type of electric wall heater than what I have. This is obviously purely aesthetic so safety is more important; just trying to see if I can safely work with what I have. The frame of the heater is plastic and the grates are metal.

2024.05.15 22:54 daydreamangel08 Editing for Movie Reaction Videos

HI, I am thinking about doing movie reactions. I see a lot of people edit them with circle masks and occasionally change the position of their webcam on the screen or making them bigger while blurring the movie in the background. Can you do that in OBS? Or how do you incorporate OBS in that process or should you just use something else entirely?

2024.05.15 22:52 Sea_Cockroach7529 Does Gadd have a restraining order?

Excerpt from the play text of Baby Reindeer book in comments (I don’t know why I couldn’t add the photo in the post)
It’s quite specific with dates and all. So is this true?
It’s quite difficult to get a restraining order in UK from what I have heard, so if he does have one he must have provided substantial evidence, just like at the end of the show. Which makes me believe that his numbers on the amount of emails, voicemails etc are true, because he has provided them in a formal way before. Which means that Fiona is lying.
Anyone have any insight on this information?
Edit: an article from The Guardian and another from Esquire both claim that he has a restraining order, but it was not quoted by him in the article/interview so I am not providing screen shots here but here are the links:

2024.05.15 22:51 devpat89 Not able to log in - IP blocked after single attempt

Update: marking this as solved. I don't know what caused the lock out - I'm 100% certain I only entered my password once. "Resolution" if it counts: I'm thankful I had the DSfinder app installed on my ipad through which I was able to see "IP Blocking" settings and managed to unblock the IP address of my PC. Had forgotten I had installed it on that device. Don't think it contributed to the issue as again, device is WiFI only and never open the Synology app. Just massively relieved!
Hi All,
Would appreciate some help here. I'm really confused what's going on.
Background
I last logged into my DSM 2 days ago on my PC. Just tried to log in right now and something odd happened, I'm used to signing in by entering my password followed by 2FA code even though it's my personal device. This time on attempting to sign on to my admin account, after entering my username I received a message to validate my log in using the Synology Secure SignIn app instead of entering a password. I do not have the app. I tried another non-admin account, still the same message. Upon attempting to log in with a password, instead I receive a message saying too many failed attempts have been made to log in and the IP address has been blocked. To be clear, I had not made any prior attempts from my personal device (it was sleeping until about 5 minutes before I attempted to log in). Although I couldn't access my DSM account, I was still able to access my mapped network drives. I tried to restart my PC and tried to log in again, but same result, and this time no luck with accessing mapped network drives either.
Edit to add: I never log into my NAS through any other devices besides this PC in my home network.
Existing Security
My NAS is exposed to the internet only via Plex. It is port forwarded so not the standard 32400 and behind a double nat. Plex has a secure password and also has 2FA.
I have firewall rules set up so only can be accessed in my country of origin UK, and after 3 or 5 wrong attempts I believe it blocks the IP. Prior to this I've never had any attempts made on my NAS.
I have my original admin account disabled, and the new one is super obscure. My password is beyond what is reflected here: https://caltechsites-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/imss/images/2023_Password_Table_Square.original.jpg
In addition, I haven't logged into my authenticator app on this device.
Oddities
One of the drives I have is dedicated to media. I'm still able to access this through Plex. I run Plex through docker and I am still able to access this through my NAS IP address.
Edit to add: I have DLNA enabled on my NAS, I'm able to access media through this as well (including through my PC).
I have another laptop that was also sleeping. I've just switched it on, it is still connected to my mapped network drives and I can access the majority of them (different limited access credentials), but none of the content is blocked by any means. I never attempt to log into DSM through this laptop. Only the initial mapping of the drives.
I've not received any emails notifying that I've been hacked/my content has been locked until I pay
Synology assistant isn't having luck finding the Synology NAS on the network at all either.
Maybe related
I've requested a speed upgrade from my internet provider. They've sent me a new router and asked me to plug it in within 5 days. I've not done this yet and was actually logging into my DSM account to double check all my settings prior to switching out.
If you're still reading, thanks so much!
At this point I'm clueless if it's something malicious or not. I'm going to run Malwarebytes overnight on my PC. Is there a chance that a change at my ISP side could result in the above?
I'm thinking worst case scenario I've been hacked, but let's say I have a keylogger on my machine, is it possible for them to break into my NAS based on my passwords alone? My 2FA is always from my personal phone and I don't log into that on my PC. Really not sure how else they could have gotten access, and again, no emails or anything, nothing has been zipped.
Would appreciate your help / suggestions on what I can do here please!
Thanks!

2024.05.15 22:48 skinniestbtchalive looking for a strong laptop to run my sims 4 game that i modded to hell and back

my last computer was an acer aspire e-15, it was perfect until it stopped turning on. i don’t know a lot about buying laptops, so please excuse me if any of this information is irrelevant.
LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE * Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
no more than $850 USD
very open to refurbs, not used
performance is most important but a decent battery would be nice too.
not that important to me, would prefer a lighter model as i will probably be using it for everyday purposes like school and streaming movies/shows as well.
i would like around 14”
I need to run sims 4 and FL studios
I need it to be able to run sims 4 pretty heavily modded with most of the DLC and I want to play with high or highest graphic settings. i know sims isn’t the most demanding game but i hate lag with a passion.
Definitely not looking for a touch screen, and i need at least 2 USB ports for music production. it would be a plus if it had an SD card port for my digital camera but not the end of the world if not
I don’t love computers that look super gamer-y, i would prefer a sleeker model. but again i just want it to be able to run the game well

2024.05.15 22:47 Embarrassed-Elk9561 The Golden Bachelorette pick shows once again how backwards the producers are!

First, nothing against Joan. We didn't see much of her, but I am sure she will do a great job. However, the choice of the youngest, whitest, blondest, richest, and overall privileged woman shows (once again) that:
  1. *Women are not allowed to not be white*. Women of color still have no place in the entertainment industry. They (producers) throw the public 2-3 POC leads, and act as if they are now done. In line with all the racist and semi-racist shit they have done in the past, producers chose the whitest and one of the most privileged contestants as the lead, when there was Sandra, and Edith, and several others who were women of color (and older) that were very well liked.
  2. *Women are not allowed to have wrinkles*. Even at an older age, they are expected to have been doing so much cosmetic surgery that their buttholes are now on the back of their necks from all the lifting. And if they haven't done cosmetic surgery, then they can be a lead on television only through ridiculous amounts of editing and face-tuning (Joan's official photo was so edited). God forbid we allow women to exist as they are. With wrinkles, and cellulitis, and extra skin, and all the other HUMAN things that happen to a body while aging. We keep saying all bodies are beautiful but we keep scrutinizing women and pushing them to "fix" every little sign of aging (this is not a dig at those who chose to, it is a vent against beauty standards). So these beauty standards NEVER end for women. Men too go through this, but it seems like at an older age, standards for them are much lower than for women (i.e., Gerry was not expected to have a 6-pack or to be "younger looking", but Joan is expected to be scrutinized same as the younger leads). With all the amazing things these women have done in their lives and their careers, the choice of the lead and the editing of the photos shows that as a society, we still focus on how people look instead of focusing on who they are. It gets way better for men, but never for women. So f'ed up, really.
  3. *Women are not allowed to have "baggage"*. The fact that Leslie had several break ups was used against her. So women are expected to be desirable and good candidates and marriage material, and even when they are leads, they are expected to "prove themselves" (for example the whole Gabby/Rachel shit show, or how Ashley H. was treated, etc.), but men leads are never put through the same scrutiny. They are not expected to prove themselves, and they have often acted like the women on the show are lucky to be there.
We need to do better! Sorry for the long vent.
