Today I was playing pubs and I got off to take a nap, I jump back online and it says im banned. The only reason I can think of was because of the impression tweets on twitter that I farmed when tacts said I was cheating on stream when he was playing with thiefs. Not sure if this had something to do with it or not because I do not cheat. Epic games will not let me submit an official appeal and live chat keeps telling me to send them an email. It is very clear that tacts and thiefs went out of their way to report me and talk to an employee at epic to get me banned just because I killed them off spawn in one game. Loads of people saw the tweet and since then people have been asking if I cheat/reporting me if I kill them in game. I then did a pc check to turn the noise down and there was no cheats to be found. I even turned on my camera in a call with VEXY so he could check my entire setup. I did that. No problem because I hated how everyone kept calling me a cheater so I proved him wrong. Till this day I still get called a cheater unjustly and it sucks I am being tag-teamed by two big streamers in the fortnite community trying to get me banned for griefing them while they streamed. it was not a stream snipe either. However, there is a huge dma banwave that happened today and epic is probably targetting me for no other reason than an employee at epic is friends with thiefs or tacts and is really trying to slap the ban hammer down on me. those are the only reasons that this could of happened. either false banned or thiefs and tacts both really spend their time and energy into getting someone banned who dared contest them off spawn. I am demanding an official appeal/pc check from someone who works at epic games because clearly vexy is not the right person who should of pc checked me and ON TOP OF IT ALL he denies ever pc checking me, could epic games be any more corrupt?/the friends of the streamers be on their meat that much that its a trickle effect that stems from someone abusing powers at epic games? Crazy take right, but you know its true.

I was banned by the automated ban system and Blizzard hasn't helped me after 3 weeks. I was told that I am going to need to make a lot of appeals and telling my story on Reddit might help.
I am going make it clear that I am disabled. I am on a fixed income and don't have a lot of disposable income. If I spend money on entertainment I like to get 1 hour for every $0.25 USD I spend. This is why WoW is very appealing to me because I can get a lot of mileage for $15 a month which I can also pay for using gold! The ability to earn gold and pay for my subscriptions does a lot for my self worth.
I'm good at making gold, I have 4 WoW accounts on my Bnet account, the accounts add enough value to pay for themselves and make profit. They are not automated or key mapped multibox or anything like that, for example I queue 10 shield plating, tab to a different char and play, tab back to queue up 20 belt buckles, back to playing, craft a bunch of enchanting rods, back to playing, mail items to an auction char, log the blacksmith and log in another char watch the chromatic sword cave (That sword is basically a month of WoW).
I like management games, playing WoW this way turns it into a management game I can play for 16 hours a day and not beat. I am going to get as much mileage out of the $15 (by that I mean 10k gold!) as I can. This has also caused me to have more gold than most people. I can't pay for vacations, or restaurants, or nice things for my significant other and it feels bad. In WoW I can afford to buy stuff, they are pixels but, it's something I can give that I paid for myself. I don't know how to really word how meaningful that is to me.
(I've been writing this for over 4 hours now so I'm going to try to get this done. I wanted to explain that I play a lot of WoW, have a lot of gold, and it's legitimate)
I've been playing games since I was 3 and Blizzard games since Warcraft 2. I received an email saying after a careful review of evidence that my WoW account was closed Reason : Unauthorized Cheat Programs (Hacks). They said I was using Hacks/Bots. I find this extremely offensive, I don't cheat and I don't like cheaters.
https://gyazo.com/7731dbbe5c4f5f066742ba99e8e5d003
I was met with a template response. I was told I was going to have to submit a few appeals to get a real person.
https://gyazo.com/b1ea4dc2a8a22eba084cd49e4da2bf95
My attempt to skip to the real person failed.
https://gyazo.com/bf9504282b3d128c8cb6911d70375083
I hit them with a wall of text to try and get a person. I also tried to attach pictures of my setup and a piece of the email that says I am disabled. It doesn't have a way to know if you actually attached the pictures though. I also completed my Shadowmourne on my Warrior but didn't want to use the items on that character because I most likely won't play him too much in Cata so they are in a mailbox right now rotting (Other stuff is bouncing back at this point but the items won't leave the banned account so I will lose them without something changing.)
https://gyazo.com/f256bd1cf40a86d9075a7722c21f6d7c
I got a person! (Or did I?)
https://gyazo.com/bf7f7bfd0d0652ae2eb180814b3cece0
At this point I was very confused. I don't use any third party programs that are against the rules as far as I know. It also didn't make sense to me cause I have 4 WoW accounts I play on at the same time and only the 1 was banned? This left me confused and angry because I didn't really get help and my ticket was closed. So now I have to open 2 tickets 1 to appeal and 1 to complain about that GM not helping.
https://gyazo.com/05637f4afdaedb4d2e33d130b984d06e
Templates
https://gyazo.com/e39ad49d71d5efaeca6714ba4f1b32f1
Templates everywhere, Ticket 1 gets templates and template 2 gets templates!
https://gyazo.com/0f582312eef0d763ff474aa2025bae18
This is the wrong template!
https://gyazo.com/a42141c845b302ac99bb1ed32079a84b
My questions weren't answered. My ticket was also closed again. I did get a response to my complaint ticket though. I hit them with the I want to talk to a manager!
https://gyazo.com/81c1ee405c81a3496550012c410a6ab3
I'm complaining about a GM and this is my response?
https://gyazo.com/6cb9a160c4bbfaad59084137bc8780ad
This new ticket isn't about appealing it's about understanding why I was banned.
I don't really know what to do. I had a friend say I can just work on different characters on different accounts while I wait for them to fix it but if it is some kind of weird interaction with software on my computer and I don't know what it is then I will just get banned on that account too.
I wanted to go hard at launch of Cata because my guild fell apart after HLK prog farmed us for months and I quit soon after. Maybe somebody on Reddit will have the answer.
I'm disabled so I am online a lot and have a lot of gold which is why I think Blizzard thinks I'm a bot. Then they post this and I just get confused.

About the Game Mercenary Battle Company: The Reapers is a bullet heaven game about killing hordes of Zerg-like aliens with Mecha Robots. The mechs are piloted by a Suicide Squad-esque group of Mercenaries who call themselves The Reapers.
About the Job We are trying to give personality to the pilots using Voice Acting. This is similar to what League of Legends does with their champions. Each character will have several lines of monologues while performing different actions, killing enemies, bosses etc.
Pilots

1. Keshav "The Tactician" Nayar Bio: Born to working-class parents in the planet of Chicarro, Keshav dreamt big since childhood. As a young adult, he joined a gang of rogues and honed his skills as a trickster. A gambler by nature, Keshav left the gang eventually to pursue riskier schemes for grander rewards. After pulling many elaborate cons, Keshav was captured by the Scarlet Syndicate for robbing one of their casinos. He began working for the syndicate to save himself, and thrived on the thrill of high-stakes cons. Keshav faced his ultimate challenge when he was ordered to steal top-secret mech designs of the legendary mechwright, Alexander Savidz, from facilities of the Mercenary Battle Company. Keshav infiltrated the company and earned Alexander’s trust, but his plan failed with Alexander’s execution. During Sarah Lawrence’s rampage on Erysa, Keshav gambled on stealing the mech itself, disguised as a military pilot. However, the deployment of the mech against Sarah raised suspicions against him. With his escape cut off, Keshav surrendered and chose to join the Reaper Division to avoid getting assassinated by the syndicate for his failure. Sample Line 1: "Not everybody's dealt the same hand in life, I understand. But what I can’t accept is people playing their cards without ambitions." Sample Line 2: "And that brings an end to the main event, ladies and gentlemen!" Reference: Sett from League of Legends. Rusty from Ocean's 11.
   
2. Oscar "Captain" Dion Vaux Bio: Heir to Emperor Quentin Dion Vaux, Oscar enjoyed peace till the solar system of Usudia was discovered. Led by the emperor himself, the Vaux Empire’s forces warred for years to dominate Usudia as it contained multiple rich Ether reservoirs. With no clear victor even after a long-drawn war, sentiments against Emperor Quentin incited a rebellion. Thus, while Emperor Quentin returned to the capital to subdue the rebels, Oscar spearheaded the campaign in Usudia. However, Emperor Quentin failed to subdue the rebellion and was assassinated. Witnessing the Mercenary Battle Company’s neutrality and lack of aggressive interests in Usudia, Oscar allied with them to quickly crush all opposition and rush to his family’s aid. He led a fierce assault against the rebels but was ultimately outnumbered and defeated. To Oscar’s surprise, he was bought by the MBC as a company asset in exchange for offering the rebels their support. Realizing that the company acts only in self-interest, Oscar negotiated with them once more for his family’s lives. Convinced that the royal family would serve as the best puppets to control the empire and its Ether mines, the company brokered peace between the rebels and the royalists. With no regrets, Oscar joined the Reaper Division while his family ruled over a reformed Vaux Republic as part of an oligarchy. Sample Line 1: "And to think I cared for caution! Laughable!" Sample Line 2: "For honour and glory!" Reference: Jarvan IV from League of Legends. Garen from League of Legends.

Just bought a M2 Max Macbook Pro last night and realised because it has three Thunderbolt 3 ports in order to optimise editing in Premiere Pro am I right in thinking I should buy three Sabrent M.2 Thunderbolt NVMe Enclosure SSD Docking Stations and then use one 256GB M.2 SSD for the media cache files and database, another 256GB M.2 SSD for the scratch disk, then a third and final 4TB M.2 for the project file and source footage/rushes of a project I'd be working on therefore leaving my Mac OS and Premiere Pro software on my Macbook's internal SSD.
Is this the best way to setup everything? Or does the project file need to be on my Mac's internal SSD so its on same drive as the Premiere Pro software itself? In terms of bottle necks / read+write speeds here should I get Samsung EVO 980 Pros across the board or can I get away with something cheap like a Kingston? I'm not sure how much bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 actually is and if getting the fastest best NVME m.2 drives is overkill or not. Lastly are there any hubs or less messy/dongle ways I could do this lol.

Hi All,
I'm new to the Eufy world. Anyone else have or find this an issue??
I have several cameras etc that I want to replace and so I decided to test out Eufy as a new vendor. I ordered the Home Base along with the 340 doorbell, got them setup and configured easily. I decided to add a Solo340 camera so I went online to order it. I went through the checkout process and right before the payment page, the website showed a box "Calculating Taxes" and then the screen refreshed to a page that said "There are no items in your cart". I tried different computers, ipads, different computers on another network and all gave me the same issue. Soooooo.....I called Eufy, and their rep first states that he has not been made aware of any issues with the website. I explained that well that's why I'm calling and that I can show him how to replicate the issue. He wasn't very receptive to that, never actually tested my report and told me for order issues I would either have to send an email to Eufy or order through Amazon (and loose my military discount). I asked if there were any actual sales people who could take my call so they could place the order over the phone and he said no and that my options were email or Amazon.
Is it me or am I expecting too much from companies today? I guess for Eufy it is ok for them to have their customers jump through hoops just to order their products? This gives me great pause in investing money in a company who obviously doesn't understand customer service or support.
UPDATE: I found that if I refresh the page during the "Calculating Taxes" operation, I can then get to the next page and complete my order, although, I do have to re-enter my military discount code because the price defaulted back to the retail price.

Just got a company wide email saying that even though we haven't found a buyer for our main office yet, the company will be closing it ahead of time anyway basically because it's financially irresponsible to keep it open. It's so awesome they went the way of wanting to save money rather than saying we need to force people back in order to justify spending it.
The email:
"Hello Team [company],
I am reaching out today with an important update to our announcement last summer in which we shared the decision to offer our [city] office for sale.
As our company continues to shape the future with Work Reimagined, we have continued to evaluate and adjust our approach to physical office spaces. Over time, our team has successfully transitioned to a predominantly hybrid working model, resulting in a decreased need for large physical office space. Instead, we have reduced our footprint and reshaped our offices to facilitate greater collaboration and customer interactions.
While we have not yet identified a buyer for the [city] office, we have spent much of the last year proactively shifting our physical systems and processes that operate in [city] to ready for a sale. After careful consideration, evaluating the costs to maintain and run the building compared to the very low usage of the space, we have made the hard decision to close the office in advance of a sale. We are charting a course, with a tentative target to close the physical office by the end of this year.
Know that this decision was not made lightly. [city] is a massive marker in the rich history of our company. Many firsts have been born from its halls, culture bred from its many gatherings, and careers built through its doors. People make our company what it is, and we want to extend our sincerest thanks to the office-based facilities teams most impacted by this decision. We sincerely appreciate the service this team has provided for the many years the office has been in operation.
Being aware of the potential challenges this change might bring for some of our local teams, a dedicated task force is in place and working diligently to oversee all workstreams related to this project. We are ensuring no stone is left unturned to make this transition as smooth as possible.
Those few teammates who frequently work from the office will receive comprehensive guidance on shifting to home office setups or alternative locations. We will provide clear instructions for the safe retrieval of any personal belongings left at the office. Detailed information and guidelines will follow on the ability to schedule meetings and events for the remainder of 2024 and some context regarding already planned events in 2024.
As our leader, it is part of my job to ensure we are good stewards of Applied’s resources. Continuing to make the significant annual expenditure required to operate [city] when so few of our teammates use it is not a responsible decision. We are confident we have the culture, tools, and processes in place to make this transition smooth. Stay tuned for more updates, including how we will properly celebrate and send off [city] at future events."

Hi All,
I have a fair few Google Home smart speakers in my house as I used to control my smart devices from the Google Home app but I've now moved to primarily using Home Assistant, with a few stragglers.
My problem is I want to be able to control my HA setup via these Google Home speakers and I'm not sure the best way to do that. I went down the road of Home Assistant Cloud with Nabu Casa because I can then add HA as an integration into my Google Home app and all the same services, this offers some flexibility for ppl depending on which app they want to use. But I've not sure if this is the best way. I do also there's other ways of doing such a link via the Google Dev console to import them that way.
So far I've been unable to link HA with Nabu Casa for a couple of reasons:

• I can't load my Nabu Casa Cloud account; it just sits there loading the page indefinitely - I left it sitting for a good 10 minutes on a couple of occasions.
• The Home Assistant Cloud integration in Google Home asks me for a ["name@host.com](mailto:"name@host.com)" email but the values I've provided so far haven't worked, I pulled them from the HA Cloud menu in HA. Maybe this is a string that I get from my Nabu Casa account, but, as mentioned previously, I can't log in to that.

Does anyone else use Home Assistant with Google Home and how did you end up getting it setup. Notice: I have manged to link my Google Home devices into HA so I can control the speakers from inside HA, just not the other way around.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,
New to Power platform.
In our org(Product + 10k employees) Around 1500 app and flow makers and Approximately 300 Active citizen developers and 4000 share point users(we support share point too with external vendor).
Here is the help required.
We don’t have a proper communication plan if there is an outrage in MS services, How it happens in your org?
We need the setup a Manual or an automated or mixed system to communicate with app owners and share point site owners in case some outrage happens.
Emails and Teams channels and internal employee communication platform like VIVA engage are three channels come into my mind.
Someone suggested me to create a flow and an app where I can directly paste message and click on a button and run Power automate flows to do posts and send emails. But that might be impacted by down services or outrages(my thoughts)
Your inputs are really appreciated

• To ensure better answers, please post the specs of your old PC build through PCPartPicker.
  
• If anything needs to be updated or can be improved, please make a comment below. Thanks!
  

1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.

• I. Might get a lot of hate for this but mainly valorant is my go to atm but potentially would like to play some other games in the future like cyberpunk at some decently higher quality. I most likely will be getting a 1440p monitor next since 4k still seems too expensive at the high refresh rate but in the years to come I can upgrade to one so would be nice if it could handle it!

2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?

• I was hoping to spend around 2k after tax so I guess around 1700 PRE-tax. From what it seems I may not be able to spec a decent one at this price to lmk please!!

3. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• I was looking to build asap but was wondering if someone thinks it may be better to wait (I.e for 7800c3d to go back on sale on AE in the near future).

4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: toweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)

• I'm mainly focusing on getting a whole new PC from scratch. I may only reuse some HDDS/SSDs but that's about it. Monitor I want to upgrade but isn't a NEED atm.

5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.

• oops! I guess I'm repeating myself here but I may just reuse my HDDs/SSDs which are 2 2.5s (samsung 860 EVO 500gb and sandisk 240gb) and one HDD 5400rpm. My current monitor is a MSI MAG271C. Mouse is a pulsarX2H/lamzu atlantis mini pro.

6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?

• I mean I'm going to assume that with the build I sort of had in mind I wouldn't need to overclock aside from XMP profiles (I think that's what they're called, I don't really overclock so I'm a noob lol) but I wouldn't mind the option to overclock to prolong my build and possibly save some money for a bit.

7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSDs, mass HDDs, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth, VR, VirtualLink, tensor cores, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc.)

• I think I care about having at least 2tb of ssd storage without breaking the bank. Also having wifi/BT would be nice incase of internet outtage and then BT for controllers.

8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-towefull-tower sizes, styles, colours, window or not, LED lighting, etc.), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• I have a fullsized one right now and I'm kinda over it. I feel like a mid size seems to be the way nowadays so probably that size. As for lighting, a clean build would be nice like all white or something but not really willing to pay the white tax for it lol. Some RBG I wouldn't mind but again not a super big deal if it kills the budget.

9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free at OnTheHub or through their school's IT software distribution department.

• I'm dumb but I think I can take the windows from my current PC and activate it on the new one no? Otherwise I would probably just grab a key from G2A unless someone has a better suggestion :).

10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?

• I'm good with keeping the case for a couple builds for sure as long as its still a viable option for future builds. I am a little torn because some opinions online say to just get a slightly lower and AM5 socket now until the platform matures more then you can just do a dropin upgrade but i don't know how stupid it sounds to just get 7800x3d and then upgrade to something "mature" later down the line nearing the end of AM5 lifespan.

11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc.)

• I always stuck with intel for years but looks like AMD has currently won my heart with its CPUs so I'd like to stick to that but for GPUs it seems like AMD is also killing it in the graphics scene too but don't know too much about them really.

12. What are the specs of your old PC / laptop? Do you want to see if it can be upgraded instead? If so, paste its build from PCPartPicker here.

• https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/useRadoonlol/saved/#view=ZzYqbv Hopefully everything is the right part but I guess it won't make much of a difference at this point lol.

13. Extra info or particulars:

• There is someone selling a built PC for what I believe to be a reasonable price. 7800x3d 1tb gen4 nv2 ssd Msi 4070ti super 16gb Gigabyte gaming AX b650 motherboard Rm850x psu thermalright frozen 280mm liquid cpu cooler Deepcool ch560 pc case selling all of this for 2K without ram (this is a copy and paste so I don't have any more info to give on exact parts atm)

Corsair rm850x psu 2tb kingston k3000 ssd Gigabyte gaming x b650 motherboard Msi 4070ti super 16gb ddr6x gpu 7800x3d cpu Hyper x beast 32gb 5600mhz rgb ram Deepcool ch560 4rgb fan pc case or this for 2.3k which from what I can tell is just the bigger m.2 storage and ram difference here which the math aint mathing but again I am just copying this.
I can't tell if I should just get his build and then swap out the "cheap" parts or just build from scratch, or wait a little, entertain this PC. I really hope I didn't sound too ignorant or dumb. I really would appreciate any help on this! I have never posted on here before and hope I'm filling this out for the first time. I'm also a bit of a reddit noob so I will DEF get confused with replies and such so bear with me <3 Looking forward to everyone's input and let me know if you have any questions! Thanks :D

For startups and bloggers, finding a hosting provider that balances affordability with reliability can be a daunting task. Plesk, as a comprehensive control panel solution, offers a user-friendly interface and robust functionality, making it a go-to choice for managing web hosting accounts. When searching for the best cheap Plesk hosting provider, it's crucial to prioritize not only the cost but also the quality of service provided.
Essential features to look for include uptime reliability, customer support responsiveness, scalability options, and security measures. Additionally, considering providers that offer easy installations, backup facilities, and access to a wide range of extensions can save considerable time and resources in the long run. Opting for a hosting provider that aligns with these criteria can significantly enhance your online presence, making your startup or blog poised for success.
The cost of hosting services can be a significant barrier. This is where Plesk comes into play, offering an intuitive and user-friendly control panel that makes website management a breeze. But how do you find a hosting service that’s not only affordable but also reliable? In this blog post, we’ll explore the essentials of choosing the best cheap Plesk hosting provider and why stands out in this competitive market.

Evaluating Cost-Effectiveness Without Compromising Quality

When searching for an affordable Plesk hosting provider, it's essential to weigh the cost against the quality of service offered. Low prices might be enticing, but they should not come at the expense of website performance and reliability. A good starting point is to look for providers offering scalable plans that allow you to start small and expand as your website grows.
HostAnyTime, for instance, offers a range of packages designed to meet the needs of startups and bloggers at various stages of their online journey. Additionally, checking for hidden fees and understanding the terms of service can prevent unexpected expenses down the line.
It differentiates itself by providing transparent pricing and a robust support system aimed at ensuring your website remains operational and efficient. This balance of affordability and quality support makes them a compelling choice for those in the early stages of building their online presence.

Why Choose Plesk Hosting?

User-Friendly Interface: For startups and bloggers, ease of use is paramount. Plesk provides an accessible and straightforward interface, allowing users to manage their websites, domains, and email accounts effortlessly.
Comprehensive Management: Plesk facilitates the complete handling of your server environment, including the setup of new websites, reseller accounts, email accounts, and more.
Enhanced Security: Security should never be compromised for affordability. Plesk includes robust security measures like fail2ban, active directory integration, and firewall management.
Application Support: Plesk supports a wide range of applications, including WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, making it a versatile option for diverse web projects.

Finding the Best Cheap Plesk Hosting Service

When searching for an affordable Plesk hosting provider, several factors come into play:

• Price vs. Performance: Seek services that offer the best balance. Cheap doesn’t mean you should settle for less performance.
• Uptime Guarantee: Look for providers that offer a high uptime guarantee, ensuring your site is always up and running.
• Customer Support: Access to responsive and knowledgeable support is critical in case any issues arise.
• Scalability: As your startup or blog grows, so will your hosting needs. Opt for services that offer easy scalability.

Why Stands Out

Amid a sea of options, emerges as a shining beacon for startups and bloggers seeking best-in-class Plesk hosting without breaking the bank. Here’s why:

Affordability Without Compromise

They offer competitively priced plans without compromising on quality and performance. Their packages cater to a range of needs, from small blogs to more extensive organizational websites, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

Robust Performance and Reliability

Outstanding Customer Support

They understands the importance of support, especially for startups and bloggers who might not have technical expertise on hand. Their dedicated team is available 24/7 via several channels, ready to assist with any concerns or questions.

Scalability for Growing Projects

Their hosting plans are designed to grow with you. Upgrading your plan to accommodate more resources is straightforward, ensuring that your hosting solution evolves alongside your project.

Enhanced Security Measures

Security is a top priority. They offer free SSL certificates, regular backups, and advanced security features to protect your site from threats and ensure your data’s safety.

Customer Testimonials and Success Stories

One of the defining aspects that set them apart from competitors is the plethora of positive feedback and success stories shared by satisfied customers. Startups and bloggers often highlight how the seamless integration of Plesk has simplified their website management process, allowing them to focus more on content creation and less on technical intricacies. Numerous users have underscored the critical role of reliable hosting in their project's growth, appreciating particularly the swift and knowledgeable customer support that turned potential setbacks into opportunities for learning and development.
Furthermore, the affordability and scalability of hosting solutions receive frequent praise, proving pivotal for projects that start small but aim big. These testimonials not only underscore the company's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction but also serve as a valuable resource for potential clients looking to make an informed decision. By showcasing real-life examples of startups and bloggers who have flourished with support, prospective users gain confidence in the provider's capability to meet their unique needs.

Conclusion

Choosing the right Plesk hosting provider is pivotal for the success of your online venture. With its unbeatable blend of affordability, performance, support, and security, stands out as the optimal choice for startups and bloggers. By selecting, you're not just getting a hosting service; you're gaining a partner dedicated to your digital success.

Okay this is simple idea here, a possible future for Ben and his girls, and what the future beyond that looks like. So lets begin.
Let's start with Ben, the chaquetrix, and his girls. After getting the chaquetrix 2.0 and its functions Ben starts to the chaquetrix upgrade turning it into the chaquetrix 2.10. Now the first two upgrades are simply the Omni-Kik Armor and The Omni-Naut Armor, which works the way it does in the reboot on the girls. Except Ben gets the armor too. Azmuth adds the armor as way to help Ben and girls in their crime fighting. The next upgrade comes from Albedo after she makes peace with the other girls and Ben, and I think you see where this is going. She adds an ultimate feature to the chaquetrix, allowing the girls to go to ultimate forms for short amount of time. The next upgrade comes from the chaquetrix absorbing the nemetrix and allowing it to make girls based on non-sapients, the girls made from it are sapient of course. Ben later fights Alpha(the nanobot entity) and the chaquetrix absorbs some alpha and omega nanos, and adapts to it. Letting the girls take evo forms for a short amount time. Of course the EVO forms are a bit on the beastie side. Then comes the antitrix, made but Vilgax in this setting using some of Kevin blood. As Vilgax believes that by placing the osmosian's genes that makes osmosians more powerful then normal humans(yes I'm going with the osmosains are metahumans thing) he can make even more powerful aliens. But before he finishes Ben and girls stops him and the unfinished antitrix comes into contract with the Chaquetrix. Which causes the Chaquetrix to absorbs it, and it scans the antitrix as a just new component of itself. This allows the girls to take anitrix forms for a short amount time, thing is they become a bit more aggressive in this state. It also leads to the amalgam upgrade but more on that later.
And it chase it isn't clear all these new forms of the girls have to be taken independently they can't be added to together. So the girls, both omni and neme, can go evo or ultimate or, or anti, wear one of the armors, but they can't do two or all four at once. And I bring this up now because the next three are a bit more complex.
At some point the chaquetrix gets damage and repair, and in doing so creates a new function, Omni-Enhanced. Which does work different in this then in canon in two ways, one any alien girl can enhanced any other one, and two when one girl is enhanced by another, that one is also enhanced by the first. So if Heatblast is enhanced by Diamondhead, then Diamnodhead is also enhanced by Heatblast. And of course this is only for a short amount of time. But it doesn't just end there, for Ben now learning more about how the Chaquetrix works and the science and engineering behind thanks to Albedo, Grey Matter, Brainstorm, and Azmuth teaching him. He starts to doing some experimenting and discover how to add a fusion function. Allowing any two girls to temporary fusion together, so long as they can get alone long enough. As if they start to argue they will start to defuse. And this also helps leads to the amalgam upgrade, Ben after adding the fusion function discovers that the reason Vilgax used Kevin over other osmosains/metahumans was because he was hoping that he could unlock Kevin ability to take on monstrous amalgam forms. And Ben discovers how to finish this function, allowing any ten girls to fuse together but the new form only has 1/10 of each alien girls' power. And if the girls start to fight or battle for full control they just defuse right away. And again just to be clear none of these new forms can stack. So one form or the other, and it case it isn't clear the max time limit for these forms are of course ten minutes. Now this is the end of the upgrades that give the girls new forms but not the end of the upgrades, as there are two more but they only effect Ben.
The next one is the Slime-Biot upgrade, which is basely the Chaquetrix allowing Ben to do everything he could Skurd without. He had Skurd like in canon, and Skurd lifted for the same reasons but thanks to the Chaquetrix being made by Azmuth studying slime-biot genetics(Note: Old Fan Theory For The Omnitrix) it unlock the ability in the chaquetrix. So Ben can change parts of his body to that of one of the species of the girls, girl new limbs from said species, or make weapons and tools from those genetics. He can also regenerate to a degree now, as I'm sure Skurd could regrow his hosts limbs, and repair damage body parts based on his abilities. Keep in mind that this ability is control by Ben and the Chaquetrix AI so it does has a few limits because of that. And there the next upgrade and here the idea behind. The rooters try to kill Ben again using a nano weapon but doesn't kill him as they hope because the weapon were design to work on humans, which Ben isn't fully. He 25% anodite by birth and thanks to the Chaquetrix he has been splice with genetics from each of the girls' species, so he isn't even 75% human any more. I would like to say he is 10% other just to go with the ten theme but I'm not sure about it. Anyway the weapon does nearly kill him, and Azmuth and Myaxx are called in to try and save him. Lucky they do by doing two things, they stabilize his now unstable genetics by making him a peak perfect physically and genetically perfect version of himself. Like how the girls are peak perfect genetically and physically perfect hybrids. And in canon Ben aliens forms are peak perfect genetically and physically. And keep in mind I don't mean peak human, as he isn't fully. The second is they add a Potis Altiare to the Chaquetrix as it is needed to keep Ben stable. And while this does mean that Ben can never remove the Chaquetrix again, and is basely part of him now anyway, it does have other effects. First the Potis Altiare does it what it is design to do and increase the powers and physically abilities of Ben and girls, which while I could be wrong I believe in canon the Potis Altiare increases those by the same amount as Marvel Super Soldier Serum. And secondly it turns Ben into Ultra Ben, allowing to use the powers of any of one of the girls species without changing form. Of course one at time, but he does has magic as in this future he learns some from Gwen.
Also while these are the major upgrades there others minor ones, most just things I believes the Omnitrix 2.0 can do in canon anyway and few we have seen it do. It can tell time, send and receive phone calls, voice calls, texts, emails, and voice messages. Surf the extranent, has an universal translator a calculator that would impress a galvin. Record videos, and take photos, and it can stored things inside it(something we seen the Omnitrix do a few times), and Ben can enter the Chaquetrix as well. And entering it does not count as removing it.
And that is end of part one, if you would like to see where going with this wait for part two. In the mean time what do you these ideas? Where are basely just giving the Chaquetrix nearly every function we seen an Omnitrix do in canon. Do you like it or hate? And if you like any of these ideas then feel free to use them however you like.

So I purchased a M2 Max Macbook Pro last night and realised because it has three Thunderbolt 3 ports in order to optimise editing in Premiere Pro am I right in thinking I should buy three Sabrent M.2 Thunderbolt NVMe Enclosure SSD Docking Stations and then use one 256GB M.2 SSD for the media cache files and database, another 256GB M.2 SSD for the scratch disk, then a third and final 4TB M.2 for the project file and source footage/rushes of a project I'd be working on therefore leaving my Mac OS and Premiere Pro software on my Macbook's internal SSD.
Is this the best way to setup everything? Or does the project file need to be on my Mac's internal SSD so its on same drive as the Premiere Pro software itself? In terms of bottle necks / read+write speeds here should I get Samsung EVO 980 Pros across the board or can I get away with something cheap like a Kingston? I'm not sure how much bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 actually is and if getting the fastest best NVME m.2 drives is overkill or not. Lastly are there any hubs or less messy/dongle ways I could do this lol
System specs: Macbook M2 Max 12 Core – 30 Core GPU

Hello this is my first time on this sub and I'm not even sure if this is where I should ask this question but I'm a little lost and I'm wondering if someone can help me understand how this setup can work.
So I am planning on using an Audient Evo 4 and Behringer C-2 and was wondering if this setup would work. Is there anything I should be aware of? I understand that the Behringer C-2 is a condenser microphone that requires phantom power to operate, which the Audient Evo 4 works with but, this is all I know.
I would also like to mention that I would plan on using my Moondrop Chu 2s for the output is this something that would be compatible?
I understand this is a loaded question, and I would appreciate any advice that can help me go in the right direction, TYIA!

How is it that vendors find out your name and send you emails to speak with them. It is new way of cold calling. The other day I had a meeting setup on teams initiated by a vendor that I did not agree to. These are getting out of hand. How are you guys dealing with this?

I am redesigning the website of a local business, that has for ~10 years relied almost exclusively on advertising through google shopping campaigns, spending around $50,000 a month. This business does not actually have an ecommerce setup in place, but relies on customers visiting the advertised product pages, and then contacting a salesperson via email or telephone to complete the sale (these are high-value home-decor items, many with bespoke customization options).
I believe, in order to qualify for google shopping ads, the previous developer added in "mock-checkout" functionality to the product pages. So in addition to a "Request more info" button, there is also a "Purchase Now" button, which allows a user to actually enter in credit card information and claims to attempt to charge them $1000 to reserve the item, after which they will be contacted to arrange the remainder of the payment (made via bank transfer). This feature does not actually charge the user the $1000 (I don't believe).
Recently, the business owners received an email from google saying that our Merchant Center account was flagged for having a broken checkout experience, and that if it was not fixed by the 19th of next month, we'd be suspended. Our IT manager had a phone conversation with Google, who basically said that to use google Shopping period, we need ecommerce (i.e. online payment processing, no salesperson interaction whatsoever), which is essentially impossible to implement. We mentioned some other websites which do not have ecommerce but who have ads appearing in google shopping (they allow you to request quote for the item), and the representative basically said that those websites are also in violation and will eventually be removed as well.
So we had a meeting and the decision was to update the old (current live) website to remove the purchase now button, and change the Request more info button to a "Request quote" button, to bring it more in line with those other sites we had found. This is in the hopes that the automated review on the 19th will unflag us, and allow us to proceed as before.
BUT, the huge possibility exists that we will NOT be given the all-clear on the 19th, and will actually LOSE the ability to advertise on google shopping PERIOD. What are my options in this case? Can we run PMAX campaigns to advertise feeds of products as before? But these would obviously not appear in the google shopping results I guess. I just don't know what the best strategy is moving forward, especially as the NEW website is about ~2 months from completion. Should I do everything I can to IMPLEMENT ecommerce for the new website (this would be a HUGE undertaking though and basically disrupt the entire operation model of the business. Also how would we even process payments, which for many of our items can be upwards of $50,000??? It's not like we can just take a credit card). Are there any workarounds for remaining on google shopping? Is there any other advertising strategy that will offer similar results to our google shopping campaign?
Thanks for any assistance.

Just bought a M2 Max Macbook Pro last night and realised because it has three Thunderbolt 3 ports in order to optimise editing in Premiere Pro am I right in thinking I should buy three Sabrent M.2 Thunderbolt NVMe Enclosure SSD Docking Stations and then use one 256GB M.2 SSD for the media cache files and database, another 256GB M.2 SSD for the scratch disk, then a third and final 4TB M.2 for the project file and source footage/rushes of a project I'd be working on therefore leaving my Mac OS and Premiere Pro software on my Macbook's internal SSD.
Is this the best way to setup everything? Or does the project file need to be on my Mac's internal SSD so its on same drive as the Premiere Pro software itself? In terms of bottle necks / read+write speeds here should I get Samsung EVO 980 Pros across the board or can I get away with something cheap like a Kingston? I'm not sure how much bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 actually is and if getting the fastest best NVME m.2 drives is overkill or not. Lastly are there any hubs or less messy/dongle ways I could do this lol
