Which Singer model is this?
If I have read the serial number correctly, it should be B1161867. Its serial number suggests it should be a model 27, but not all its features match the identifying features in descriptions of model 27, I think, or part of that series (27, 127, 28, 128). The alternative is model 15.
I don't have a manual for this machine.
It is a treadle machine, complete with original cabinetry.
What model is this Singer sewing machine?

2024.05.21 15:25 Ghost-Quartet Happy 120th Birthday to Fats Waller - A look at the music and legacy of one of pop's greatest entertainers

https://facts.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/15-facts-about-fats-waller-1689249690.jpg
This is a subreddit primarily focused on modern pop music, but for his 120th birthday I want to take a moment to remember one of the most iconic pop acts in American history:

Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller

A jazz pianist, a singer, and a prolific songwriter famous for his ability to jump onstage and "lift up the band," Fats Waller was a regular fixture of the nightlife scene in New York (an important figure of the legendary Harlem Renaissance) and toured his act all around the country in addition to working as a recording artist in the budding record industry.
In a way, he was one of America's first pop stars- a musical prodigy who dropped out of high school, broke into the music industry when he was a teen, sold tons of records, and developed a huge onstage persona and lived a hard partying lifestyle. We've heard that story a million times, but Fats did it first.
An often repeated story about him recounts a shocking incident where gangster Al Capone kidnapped him off the street to force him to play at a birthday party, because everybody wanted to party with Fats Waller! A less repeated story is this one I found in an NPR article that describes him selling eight of his original songs in exchange for eight hamburgers, which he then consumed in a single sitting.
So certainly, a larger than life figure.

The Records

His legacy as a founding figure of America's pop scene extends to a place you might not expect: back in 1926, he signed a recording contract with the Victor Talking Machine Company, one of the earliest manufacturers and distributors of phonographs and records, which would be bought out by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in 1929. Then in 1968, the company would be renamed... RCA Records!
RCA is still a powerful record label today and it's partially thanks to Fats, who was a big moneymaker for them in the early days of the record industry when they were literally selling records.
Over the course of his twenty five year career, he copyrighted around five hundred recordings- supposedly, the label would send him into a recording booth with bunches of sheet music bought from Tin Pan Alley composers and he would rearrange them on the spot to give them that special Fats Waller touch!
But he's best remembered for his skills as a pianist and, most importantly, his songwriting skills. I want to take a moment to highlight that because I firmly believe he's one of the greatest songwriters in history- many of his hits have been accepted as standards and are still in rotation with jazz singers today.

The Music

You might have heard his song "Ain't Misbehavin'," which became something of his signature song after he performed it in the landmark film Stormy Weather (1943), and it's the perfect encapsulation of his style. A clever piano line, a catchy melody, a touch of humor, and a lot of heart. It's just timeless music.
I know for certain / The one I love
I'm through with flirtin' / It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin' / Saving my love for you (for you)
(And you) (And you)
There's a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor to the song that's signature Fats- in addition to the lyrics he wrote, he was known to improv and throw new jokes in on the fly during live performances.
We're lucky enough to have footage of him performing "Your Feets Too Big" (another one of his signature numbers where he chastises a woman for, you guessed it, her foot size) and you can just see the charisma oozing off of him as he banters with the band and makes eyes at the camera. All while playing the piano too!
And he was no innocent either, often lacing his songs with innuendo that will shatter any illusions you have about old music being overly conservative. Take, for example, Hattie Noel's recording of "Find Out What They Like," which begins with a disclaimer that the song is "strictly about home cooking" before she sings this:
Find out what he likes / And how he likes it
Go on and give it to him just that way
Give it to him when he wants it / And any time he wants it
And don't you have a single word to say!
He was often performing in nightclubs and bars, which meant he knew how to get the crowd going- "The Joint Is Jumpin'" is the quintessential 1920s party anthem, with the title referring to a secret code phrase that bootleggers would use during the prohibition era to let people know that a party had illegal alcohol. The jaunty music he wrote did a lot to get people on the dance floors as well!
But though he's associated with lively entertainment, there was some grit beneath all that as well. Despite his success, Waller was still a black man living in early 20th century America, and he channelled that into legendary "Black and Blue" (a hit for Louis Armstrong) which is considered by some to be one of the first jazz protest songs:
I'm white inside, but that don't help my case / 'Cause I can't hide what is in my face
How would it end? Ain't got a friend / My only sin is in my skin
What did I do to be so black and blue?
Whatever the occasion, Fats had a song for it.

The End

But like a lot of great artists, Fats had his troubles. He was known for his hard partying lifestyle and frequent money problems that pushed him to be constantly working, and he would tragically pass away in 1943 from pneumonia while on tour.
The man was only 39 years old at the time, but as of today his legacy officially stretches 120 years! So spin a record today for Fats Waller, and get the joint jumpin' in his memory.
If you'd like to hear more of his music, I'd strongly recommend setting aside ninety minutes to watch the Broadway musical Ain't Misbehavin' because it's an incredible piece of theatre that showcases his music spectacularly. Diana Ross & The Supremes did an adorable tribute to him on The Ed Sullivan Show that's worth a watch too.
Any other Fats Waller fans in the sub? What are some of your favorite recordings of his songs?

2024.05.21 15:14 Inevitable_Fish_553 Landlords obligations for repairs

Hi! We’re about to sign a contract for a flat in England but there’s a clause I find unreasonable. I would appreciate your thoughts over the matter:
I sent this message to the agency this morning: “We can't agree with 4.4.7 (Have the use of all appliances provided in the Property, as listed in the inventory save those which are noted as not working. However, should any items require repair, or be beyond repair, the Landlord does not undertake to pay for any costs of repair or to replace the appliance, except those which the Landlord is required by law to maintain.) nor with a part of 5.9.b ((b) to keep in repair ... but not other fixtures, fittings and appliances for making use of the supply of water, gas or electricity);). As the white golds and appliances we saw during the viewing are quite old and these are provided by the landlord, we need the landlord to undertake pay for any cost of repair or replacement of the appliances and white goods that are provided with the property.”
The letting a agency replied the following: “The Landlord is legally obliged to pay for the repair and replacement of the fridge and oven. We automatically ask for Landlords to repair washing machines and Landlords normally take this on without giving it a thought. I can, however, ask the Landlord if I can amend this clause, but this will bring to her attention the fact that she is not required to fix it. So, I would suggest leaving this and we can continue how we normally do asking the Landlord to pay for the repairs – let me know though.”
If we leave it as it is, would then I be responsable to replace an old washing machine for a new one in the event it breaks and the landlord doesn’t want to pay for it?

2024.05.21 15:05 arminsexual Help about an outlet

I (24F) recently bought PS4 and connected it to the outlet my TV is connected to (Rental place). The only things connected to that outlet is the TV, The PS and the charger for the PS controllers. Ever since I connected the PS the TV and sometimes the PS4 sometimes randomly turn off and then I have to turn them back on.
I’m scared the outlet is too weak to handle both of them and I don’t want any damage done to the house or outlet or devices. Is there something I can connect to the outlet to make it able to take it (like I have something that I got with my overlock sewing machine, that without it the power is too much and it cause circuits but with it it works perfect), or should I change the entire living room setup so that the TV and PS4 can connect to a different outlet?
Sorry if I’m not super clear I don’t understand anything in electricity stuff and English isn’t my first language. I’d gladly answer questions if you need more information to help.
TLDR; I think my outlet is too weak to handle both TV and PS4 is there something to do to fix it or should I move them to a different outlet?

2024.05.21 14:30 Embarrassed-Guava586 Superglued buttons, would they fall off if washed?

Superglued buttons, would they fall off if washed?
So- I'm working on a lab coat for my newest cosplay, Professor Sycamore from Pokémon X/Y, and I used a custom button kit to make fabric-covered buttons for said lab coat. But I've run into an issue.
The fabric on the buttons is too tight to sew through and look nice, and since the buttons themselves don't need to be functional, as they're purely decorative, I just... superglued them on. Attaching them by the shank of the button left them too floppy for my taste, and the original closure left gaping holes where the shank would have gone. So, super glue was my only option.
The coat in question
the superglued-on buttons
The problem here, is that this lab coat isn't the bright white it once was. It's become a muted white, if anything it just looks dirty even after I washed it before starting my alterations (it's especially clear where I had seam ripped off the breast pocket, there's a clear line there) and there's small bloodstains on it that a stain remover pen won't be enough for. (I have a bad history of nosebleeds, and I was doing a test fit of this coat when one sprang up) so... I need to bleach it.
you can really see the discoloring here. there's no pocket there, but the ghost of one. that's not lighting.
With all my searching so far, everything is giving instructions on how to remove the glue with bleach- and that's not what I want.
So how do I wash this thing the way I need to without the buttons potentially falling off?

2024.05.21 14:26 pohltergiest Catching up on the Tohoku Times

Catching up on the Tohoku Times
Finally finding some time after resting to do my writing. The bike shop experience was a little sweaty in the hot weather, and while we were outside working on our bikes, not only did the wife of the mechanic go get us an iced coffee and an ice cream, she later made us care packages with an energy gel and a bunch of electrolyte tablets. Looking inside, it would seem this shop has been the home of a pro-level team for a long time, so I imagine they have a lot of these things on hand, but it was still very nice.
My wheel repair went well, the bumps and wobbles straightening out with the spoke repair. Bryce had them look at his front wheel, which had a different problem. He took a look at it, and after some consideration he said it was a "maintenance challenge" and proceeded to pull out a lot of wrenches. Bryce gleaned that the hub of the wheel needed tightening, and he did not have the correct wrenches to deal with this decidedly north american model. But he did have ones that were close enough and with some effort he managed to make it better to ride. After all was said and done we asked how much for the repairs and he tells us that he's a volunteer for the day, that this is his son's shop and he's just hanging out for the day because it's a holiday! We were flabbergasted but again he would not take any payment. We talked with him a bunch and he told us that he's in his 70's and attributes his good health to his biking, which he proudly states he's been doing for over 60 years now. We said he was an inspiration and said our goodbyes.
We were lucky to get the repairs done so quick, as it gave us just enough time to hit up the aquarium. We needed to ride just 12km to get there, and a nice tunnel took us through a mountain range instead of us having to go over it. I was tired, the stress of the string of repairs really getting to me. But we arrived with an hour and a half til closing and got to see the aquarium which was a big white building tucked up against sea cliffs on the sea of Japan. I felt instantly more at ease, the temperature feeling more moderate by the water, which was calm as the day went on.
The aquarium was lovely, with an obvious focus on jellyfish. I don't usually like aquariums or zoos due to what appears to be inadequate facilities for the inhabitants, but jellyfish in a tank? I don't think jellyfish care, or have the ability to care. This is like having a series of terrariums in my mind, jellyfish are one step above insects in my mind. And jellies they had, loads and loads of jellies, some on the larger side and lots of teeny tiny ones that almost can't be seen at all without magnification. They really do look like little automatons, just wiggling around. The tanks were all very tastefully lit, highlighting UV reactive cells, long streaming tendrils (that I'm sure have a proper name), and rainbow shimmering reflective cells that look deceptively like teeny tiny LEDs on little ridges. The prime attraction was the dream theatre, a dark room with a 5m tall tank circulating with hundreds or thousands of jellies and lit with a dreamy blue and purple light. We saw posters of famous artists performing in front of the jellyfish tank, the theatre being aptly named.
We missed out on the jellyfish ramen noodles, it being a bit too late in the day, but we did get to enjoy the late day views from on top of the aquarium. Why did we ever leave the ocean? Flat roads, sunsets unmarred by dumb terrain, beaches. It's the best. I love beaches. Looking at the map, we'd have to cover 120km to get to Akita to take the ferry to hokkaido, so we decided to cover some ground while we still had light so as to not overload the next day should something happen. On we went. We zoomed past pastel-lit beaches, seeing folks sitting in pairs, waiting for the sunset. We've seen people stop right on highways if they have a good view of the sunset. We had no such time to enjoy it today.
An hour or so later, we covered 20km to Sakata. Bryce wanted fried chicken for dinner, so we went to a takeout place and got way too much chicken for the two of us to eat. It can be hard to tell what you're getting, as one piece of karaage can be anything from a morsel to a meal, in this case we had more of a meal per piece along with rice and cabbage. We got some drinks from a vending machine and ate the food by a river, watching the water go by as the light faded. For once, we couldn't finish all the food, which was a shock. I always finish the food. Good job, random chicken place, you win this round.
I found a big empty looking beach in the middle of nowhere on the map about 10km north of our position, so we prepared to set out for a night ride. Rain was in the forecast for the next morning, which meant we needed a private place that we wouldn't be bothered for an extended time during daylight hours. And we'd need to reduce our kilometers for the next day as we'd probably have to bike some of it in the rain, which sucks. As we were biking through the city, we happened upon a summer festival, people filling the streets. The usual assortment of festival treats didn't steal our attention, but I stopped for a moment to examine a line of white painted ladies in front of a stage that were talking turns talking about something or another. If only we had the time to watch the performance!
We instead used our valuable time biking to a convenience store to one again get water, food, and some canned coffee for the next morning. Always an exciting time. We left the city, things now fully dark. The highway was not the best, lots of cracks and parts filled in with patches, and my focus wasn't the best. Obstructions become much harder to see in the light of a headlight, even harder to see when you have to use the dimmest setting as the headlamp always seems to be close to dying. My body bitched that it was the wrong time of day to be biking, I should already be setting up camp and kicking back, not pressing for an extra 10km.
We did eventually make it to the beach intact, if a bit worn out, rolling down a sandy road until we had to push our bikes over dune-encrusted paths. Nobody here except a handful of night fishers, but they only care about fish. We pushed our bikes along the beach until we found a lonely pair of shelters for picnics and began setting up there. It seemed like a good spot, and we could tie up the tarp for extra rain protection. Giant wind fences on the beach would help with any gusts coming off the sea, but we weren't expecting a lot of wind anyways. Feeling like I'd have extra time in the morning, I got to sleep instead, feeling more tired than ever.
I slept very long, clearly the need for sleep piling up on me. We got to bed a little later than I wanted, but it was indeed raining when I woke in the morning, so I went back to sleep and luckily got a few more hours. We discovered in the morning light that we were not the only ones to think highly of the shelters, with little ants crawling all over the outside of the tent. Not a big deal, but a little unnerving considering we haven't always been perfect about getting the zippers all the way closed. We had some breakfast in bed (which inevitably led to a spilled coffee) and read for a little bit, but debates about getting going started pretty quickly. The rain didn't look like it was going to let up, which meant we were going to have to get going or risk riding at night again.
It was late in the morning when we were ready to go, rain gear donned and our spirits as high as they would be all day. We had 95km to ride, half a day to do it, and we were already soaked. On we went. Rice planting is in full swing now, everywhere we go there's farmers hurredly planting thousands of tiny sprouts in prepared fields. Early on there was a bit of a roadside attraction in the form of a curiously coloured pond, which we dutifully checked out. The pond was indeed a brilliant blue green colour and very clear, like the water of some onsens we've seen. Reading a sign, the pond was the source of the little rivers nearby and the water was extremely cold which kept it from fouling.
As we rode, the mist rising off the hills looked like smoke. We hoped the rain would turn to just mist soon. Wiping my face for the hundredth time, we slowly pedaled on. Rain pants tug on my skin, making knee pain feel more prominent. We bike slower too, I think the water on the road is just harder to bike on. Feels like slow motion compared to fair weather riding. After 30km, I needed to stop and get some real food in me, I found a mandarin restaurant serving spicy ramen, which sounded perfect for a cold, stiff day like this. We left our dripping rain gear outside where it might get slightly dryer simply by gravity, and went in, still sorta dripping anyways.
Inside, the restaurant was filled to the brim with knickknacks and collectables and was bright and cheery despite the weather outside. I found a place to plug in my headlamp and we both ordered big bowls of spicy soup and colas for the sugar and caffeine boost we'd need to keep going. The soup was flavorful and delicious, with a ground pork that was sweet instead of savoury. Last time I made sweet pork it was kinda gross so it was neat to have a sweet pork that wasn't bad. I ate my whole bowl, needing all the calories I could get, and settled down a bit to check the radar for the area.
As can be expected for the coast, the weather was temperamental. It was good we got going, as the section behind us was being hammered, while we could expect a bit of a reprieve from the rain as we moved forward. That was about as good as we could hope for and with the clock striking 2 (and playing a song) in the restaurant, we departed.
The sky brightening a bit from a dreary grey to a less dreary grey, our moods lifted for a while while our jackets dried off in the breeze. The sights were beautiful, in a desolate sort of way. Something about staring off into seemingly infinite ocean is unsettling to me. The evergreens on rocky spits in the ocean reminded us of the west coast trail, a few unbothered sections of coast here and there revealing what this land is supposed to look like under all the concrete pylons and coast management techniques Japan loves.
After an hour, I began having some real issues. My heart rate had spiked, my vision was a little odd, and I was starting to not feel well. Not good. I drank a bunch of water, which helped, but eventually my body decided the spicy ramen was too oily and spicy for my guts and I went to destroy a convenience store. I felt better after, but I really should know better by now. There's so much oil in the cooking here though, it's hard to avoid sometimes.
We kept riding, now with no rain gear and keeping up a respectable pace. We went on a desolate road, giant windmills standing guard on the coast overlooking fields of windburnt trees all bent away from the water. Looks like this coast gets absolutely hammered by the wind, maybe I shouldn't complain too much about the rain if it's not windy as well. Things were looking up, our pace put us on schedule to arrive at 6, well before dark which put us in better spirits. Better spirits until Bryce's tire blew out.
Pulling apart the tire layers, incredulous that the so-called "flatless" tires would fail us now, we found a shard of black glass stabbed straight through the thickest part of the tire and a centimeter into the tube section. Well there's no bike tire on earth that can survive that, that one's just bad luck. We felt a little better about that as we set about replacing it. At least with the new rim Bryce had it was much less of a fight to get the tire on and off to replace the tube. Getting the bead to set was a pain, Bryce cycled the tube pressure three times and we even soaped the edge to get it to budge. It seemed good enough to me, but the rim of the tire definitely seemed a little inconsistent. The rain starting again, we debated what we should do, I argued that if he was careful and avoided bumps the bead might set itself and we didn't have any other techniques we could try. He wasn't able to pull the tire over any more and my hands were too weak to be of much help. We were wet and cold by this point, so Bryce agreed with this and we remounted and got moving. We could always take the train if we had to, but that wasn't an option we wanted to do just yet.
I was in the rear and I could immediately see and hear something was wrong with Bryce's bike, even though I was focused on the tire bead to see if it was setting properly. It looked like his front and back tires were tracking different paths and one or both seemed to be leaning? I know the front tire had a hub issue so I thought maybe they're just a bit off but after a while I called a halt as it looked just too messed up not to try reseating the axle. While we were redoing the rear axle, we discovered that a bolt holding the rear pannier rack was close to coming out altogether, the source of the terrible rattling I've been hearing for weeks now! That was a relief to fix, and the wheel seemed to be sitting better. Now we were quite a bit later, projections looking more like 7 o'clock and getting dark by the time we got to the city.
The sky was getting lighter, but it was the sun starting to sink below the cloud layer, signaling the end of the day and the last of our riding light. I was so tired by this point, bone tired. The rain makes every kilometer feel like two, I was sneezing again, feeling sad. Lots of harsh feelings were welling up, life starting to roar back into focus as all the things I pushed away for the past year demanded answers right now. I tried my best to file away the petitions as I could, but mostly I just tried to keep my head up as my mood sunk lower with the sun. My sinuses decided they'd had enough and shut down, making my head feel like it was a size too big. In the last light of the day we got to Akita, the end of our Tohoku adventure. The kindness of the people we met saved us from finding the whole region cursed.
I demanded burgers and fries to lift my soggy mood, nothing in my tool box keeping me happy. Luckily there was a good looking place near our hotel to try and it was a countertop kinda place. We went in to find a fully charming establishment full of locals and a pair of chefs working the counter. I was feeling just awful but Bryce had a good time interacting with people. Everyone was very curious about the two colourful and very wet foreigners who had wandered in after parking very large and heavy bikes. I joined in on the answers, having the better language skills whenever Bryce couldn't parse what was being asked, but I was more focused on the pile of fries and the chili burger I ordered. People were flabbergasted that we came all the way from the southern end of the country, the chefs assuming we must have come from Tokyo instead. Some of the other patrons started rattling off Canadians they knew, with Justin Bieber ("Justinoo Beeberu!") and Celine Dion topping the list. I ordered a BLT sandwich as I was still starving even after a whole meal. The chef brought over a bottle of nice sake to have as a toast to the brave travellers, which I had to refuse as I would like to recover from this cold sometime this century. There's so much booze that it's hard not to here.
To alleviate the embarrassment of having to refuse the booze, he offered me a ginger ale instead, which I graciously accepted. The other chef laughed as they pulled out a bottle "Canada Dry" she said, to the laughter of the bar. Taste of home in a strange place. I polished off my BLT (and considered a second) and while I'm sure Bryce could have spent all evening taking free shots of excellent sake with the bartender, we had to be up early, so we said our goodbyes and waved as we wheeled our bikes into the dark city. I left in a good mood, but tired as hell. Bryce was positivity beaming from the fun interactions, and the four drinks he had. The hotel was nearby, so it wasn't too hard. A parking attendant ushered us to a spot near the guardhouse, and we locked up there. He asked us when we were thinking of getting the bikes the next day, and when we said 430 in the morning he was a little taken aback. He understood that the ferry was early but that was too early for him.
The hotel room was nice enough, but all I wanted was a bath and sleep. There were bath salts at the front desk and we took turns soaking in the tub. I wasted no time, doing my thing, arranging my clothes for the morning, setting an alarm and going to sleep. 415 would be just around the corner.

2024.05.21 14:18 Inevitable_Leg4073 what i think silent city could be about

so let’s break the teaser down, shall we? (i can’t add images since im writing this on a phone)
in the teaser in secrets of the machine, we see a gloved hand holding a gun. now if you have eyes, you can see there’s more than that. there’s a mechanical hand holding a gun with the word “ALICE” on it. interestingly, the hand is black and white, meaning it’s most likely not in the cycle. possibly, putting on my game theory here, it’s a new cycle created by someone else that is better and therefore is black and white. also, shown by the leaked footage, there are only cartoon looking people, so i think that this creator of the new cycle didn’t murder anyone, but used new technology to create perfect cartoon characters without souls. the second possibility is that we are playing in a bendy cartoon, though i doubt this, because of the gore. however, the gore does confirm that they are not made of ink.(?)
now, who’s hand is that? i used to think it’s tom, because of the mechanical hand, however i can say with 93.7% certainty that this is not tom because of the hand in the teaser being a left hand, and tom’s mechanical arm is his right arm. i also don’t think this is bendybot, and though it would be nice to see him in action, the hand and arm look nothing like his. in that case, we only have a couple things who that hand could belong to. a new bendybot could be in this game. remember how i said that someone new created the cycle now? well, what if instead of using ink to create a realistic bendy, they used machinery first? if you think about it, this could be a lot like ink bendy: he could be evil, he has no soul, could possibly be a failed attempt.
now it’s time for what you’ve been waiting for: the gun. what’s up with the ALICE gun? at first, i thought it was possibly an alice robot shooting someone, but looking at the dots on the glove prove otherwise. so either, this new bendybot stole alice’s gun, or.. well i can’t think of any other scenario.
now let’s look at the second teaser. this one has a different hand with a bullet on what looks to be some sort of table. now this hand, this hand i believe to be bendybot “but the hands look the same!!!” WRONG. notice how the fingers are separated into three parts? secrets of the machine’s teaser’s doesn’t have that. i have to go to school i’ll come back to this later.​

I’m currently taking photographs for my e-com store that I’m trying to launch.
I have no knowledge of photography and learning on the fly
Could anybody let know what I could do to improve the images attached as I’m still playing around with settings and lighting trying to find what works best.
Set up -IPhone 13 (using Fjorden app manual settings) -2X 85W 3200K-5500K Bi-Color Dimmable LED Softbox Continuous Lights
White balance=4300k
I have also attached the manual settings if that helps.
Thanks!!!!

Best way to add a skirty bit to a corset belt (no boning)?
So, I recently got my first big boi sewing machine (yay :D) and I am now working on a corset belt for a ren faire. I (partially) made a tester to figure out the base pattern, however, I would like to add a skirty thingy to it to add some spice. I was wondering how I could implement said skirty thingy, specifically with the pattern in the video above (minus boning, for comfort reasons). In particular, I’d like to figure out the best way to attach said skirty thingy to the corset belt. Any tutorials, advice , or suggestions are appreciated :)

2024.05.21 13:53 Feeling-Flower612 Issue with User Required to Enter Username and Password on Logon in Windows 7

Hello everyone,
I am encountering an issue with a Windows 7 machine that is part of a domain. When a user attempts to log on, they are prompted to enter their username and password. Ideally, I would like the logon screen to display all the user accounts that are present in the PC, so that I just have to enter the password for login and not require manual input of the username on logon, even after pc reboot/restart.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any solutions to prevent the username prompt on logon for domain users?
Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

2024.05.21 13:25 Austechprep What items do you plan to salvage or scavenge?

I think this could be an interesting topic to consider what you expect to be left behind or untouched that is too expensive/impractical to buy now but could be very valuable to a long term SHTF.
It all depends on your SHTF scenario of coarse, mine tends to be extreme weather events leading to prolonged grid down, but for this topic it would need to be 1+ year grid down before I'd think it's ethical/acceptable to go scavenging (otherwise it's just looting) and I don't have plans for 1+ years, this topic is mostly just a bit of fun.
For me (given I'm a tech prepper):
A side question, how long until it's acceptable to scavenge, I figure 1 year with no signs of people returning is reasonable.

2024.05.21 13:19 Gundam_net Long term Pixel 8 review, no better than a Pixel 5.

For those who know, Pixel 5 is a great phone. And Pixel 8 is just like Pixel 5. They're basically exactly the same thing.
The only real reason to upgrade is to keep current software security updates, and blame Qualcomm for that. They apparantly stop providing firmware updates after so many years.
So the Pixel 8 has no Qualcomm hardware, so it now has 7 years of software updates.
The Pixel 8 has marginally upgraded camera hardware, in some ways. In some ways I actually prefer the older Sony sensor.
Both displays tint towards green when overclocked past 60Hz, because neither have ltpo. Kind of a bummer. A Pixel 8 with ltpo would have been an actual upgrade over Pixel 5, like the Galaxy s24 devices have. I mean... as it sits now it's kind of like a cross between an iPhone 15 and a 15 Pro because it can shoot RAW and it has high refreshrate options available, but you shouldn't use it except with higher screen brightness settings where there's little to no green tinting -- that's how the Pixel 4xl came from the factory, and actually I think that device got a lot of things right in general/overall.
60Hz below 50% brightness, 90Hz above 50% brightness, AmbientEQ, 500nits peak brightness with a 650nit high brightness mode in high ambient light. Optical telephoto system with good natural hardware bokeh. It was all a really good set up, though minimum brightness on it was too bright even though it tone mapped shadows darker at minimum brightness. And AmbientEQ didn't go warm enough. Face unlock also made my face tingle and gave me floaters in my eyes, I think their IR blaster was set to too strong of an intensity or frequency idk. Anyway.
Pixel 8 and Pixel 5 get similar battery life and have similar displays, similar cameras, similar designs -- they're basically the same phone. I think Google wanted to use Tensor in Pixel 5 but ran out of time. Then I think they got sued by Apple for using rounded corners. That's how we got square Pixel 6 and 7. I think Pixel 8 is just Google getting back to where they want to be/recovering from the fallout of the lawsuits and the Tensor G1 and G2 failures, overheating and bugs and all that.
So yeah, that's Pixel 8. It's no better than a Pixel 5, but Pixel 5 was one of Google's best devices ever made so that means Pixel 8 will probably go down with a similar legacy. And the 8a as well -- same vibes as the Pixel 5a/4a 5g/4a. So that one is bound to be good as well.
My advice for Pixel 8? Keep it in 60Hz mode with Smooth Display off. The color accuracy is better and it'll help you fall asleep easier at night with less green light as well. The cameras are as good as ever, I recommend using Google Photos to edit shots because Adobe Lightroom ruins the Pixel-shifted fullRGB color info you get in the Google ecosystem and pipeline. Speaking of which, best to shoot at 1.2x instead of 1x to activate pixel shifted colors and super res zoom. I shoot in Raw + Jpeg to be able to get both an UltraHDR version and a SDR version of the same image by converting RAWs to Jpegs for editing in Google Photos -- keeps all the color info and Pixel Processing, just spits out an SDR jpeg version of the Raw file to go along withthe UltraHDR version. It's great. Gives you 3 copies of every image for lots of creative discretion for Instagram. Some shots I prefer the UltraHDR versions, some I strongly prefer an SDR version of the same image. I find shooting with UltraHDR always enabled produces better quality Raws to use to produce SDR versions of as jpegs in Google Photos. I also don't care much for the blue white balance on the default auto mode of the camera. Fortunately you can manually adjust it while shooting, but sometimes you don't have time to do that and thankfully Google Photos can totally handle it in post editing. No problem to warm up a photo there.
The one major camera complaint I have for this device that seriously bothers me and annoys me is a lack of a manual focus control for creative control over how final images look. Sometimes I want to intentionally blur the entire photo uniformly, subject and background, to create a dreamy look. And I do this on cameras that allow it. Google Photos allows adding blur to parts of an image in post editing, but does not allow bluring the entire image uniformly for creative effect -- and that's something either Google Photos should add as a feature to post editing, or something that needs to be added into the camera app for manual focus control natively.
Some 3rd party camera apps do allow manual focus, to great effect, but the problem is they don't have super res zoom color science processing going on. And pixel shifted color is the main feature of this camera that I love and adore so much, that I don't like using 3rd party camera apps. And I shouldn't have to use 3rd party apps to get manual focus. So that's my main complaint with Pixel 8 after using it for a month. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I wish it had ltpo, but only if it didn't raise the price because I wouldn't be willing to pay more for it. I just think it should have it as a minimum standard in 2024. But 60Hz is "okay" it is just a small let down being that it's basically no better than Pixel 5, which came out in 2020. To be fair, Pixel 5 was ahead of its time, but, it's not clear that Pixel 8 is. That's Pixel 8. It's good, but it's not revolutionary anymore.
