"lack of Photoshop was a deal breaker because they use it to make their YT video thumbnails, like it was impossible to achieve the same thing with GIMP"
Sigh
Anyone can make a thumbnail image in gimp or even a much more basic IMP. Have they not learned to float-copy-scale-save as ? Actions let one easily pull multiples.
I have been a PS user since 2.1 and notice that lots of its more recent "tools" seem made for people (tools) who have never really learned basic PS techniques.
Last time I looked at Gimp its method of dealing with layers was alien and awkward plus too many destructive filters and the like.
From what I have picked up this release seems a useful progression.
AMD announced a few months ago they did not intend to compete with "high end" consumer GPUs so no equivalent to your 3090 is on the horizon.
Best will probably be a 070 equivalent or similar. Anyway, best hold onto that 3090 -it's going to increase in value given all the metals restrictions now being imposed by China (yea!).
I have a friend who was a fireman - he said the local nurses home - quite a large block - was subject to kitchen and other false alarms.
He said the tender was crewed in record time for these - especially at night.
One imagines many sleepy nurses in the parking lot in less than normal clothing but he would not be drawn further.
I have a nice browser extension that lets me block YT clips based on title keywords. It can do RegEx too. (BlockTube)
Thus I never see clips with words such as { insane, sick, unboxing, cat, dog, kitten, puppy, awesome, crazy} etc in there titles.
Works well but what I really want is a filter to remove clips with people wearing baseball caps* back to front - I would then be spared an even greater deal of dumbness. I know I don't have to click on these clips of course but just seeing people like this makes me grrrrr.
* Where do they buy those hats anyway? I can only see the normal facing ones when I looked on Amazon. ( I wanted to see what else people who bought these bought)
I know that this extension can see what I'm looking at but that ship sailed long ago and I don't care.
Looking forward to a 4080 replacing my 4 (?) year old 1080ti.
People may moan about price but I don't really care - it is what it is and, in hobby cost terms not so expensive - seen the price of a bike frame or decent DSLR lens recently?
We buy tech for what it can do and this looks like the first card to render 4k at a decent frame rate.
I am hoping that the 12GB version is enough though as power consumption is a thing now.
"FishPig said affected customers can also reach out for "a free clean up service for anyone who is worried that this is affecting their site and needs help to resolve it."
hahahahahahaha
As if I would let then into the root of my site *!
Their InfoSec is not exactly trustworthy at this point although I suppose for some WP "admins" this might be welcome
