Continue reading →: pod: dt6 AI Intro and IntuitionOK, we are not experts nor PhDs so most of this is probably not technically correct, but the math is so complicated and the concepts so complicated, that we thought it would be good to just get some intuition on what is happening. So this is a quick talk that…

Continue reading →: pod: New Tips OBS red vs blue, OBS outputs HDR, FCP generates Chapters, YouTube chapter trickOK, well, the last post about how to get HDR output out of OBS worked! I even finally figured out how to make the objects work in OBS which is not obvious here are the things to know: Dealing with Red and Blue Windows with OBS OK, this is also…

Continue reading →: nas: When your Synology NAS 2FA fails, you are screwed! bag the SSDsOK, I do the normal thing, I put 2FA on everything, but I have to say there are quite a few dangers here when you are doing it on your home NAS. In short, I have 2FA on all my Synology accounts, but in rebooting a NAS and swapping some…

Continue reading →: pod: do not forget to use mkv not mp4 in OBS and set for HDRI thought I was saving a step by having OBS record directly into mp4 but I forgot the reason we use mkv.

Continue reading →: scan: new Vuescan Multicrop vs. Cropped Area, Image Type, and Loud Buzzing fixesI’m not quite sure what I did, but when upgrading from Vuescan 9.8.27 to 9.8.28, my Minolta DiMage 5400 developed some major problems.

Well, OLCP has been working remarkably well on all my machines. Since disabling the dGPU on our MacBook Pro 2010, this has worked just great. Even though the fix was for a MBP 2011, this one had the same problem. The MacBook Air 2011 has also been running well if…
