Star Wars Movies that Don't Exist and Never Will Since I am listening to THREE different Star Wars podcasts right now, this was an inevitability. As there is nothing Disney likes more than announcing projects that will never happen, I figured I could score some points by not wasting anyone’s time with false theatrics and skipping directly ahead to the part where they don’t exist.**1. The film focuses on a Sparticus-style slave revolt against the Hutts, led by Baduk …

→ Persistent horizontal lines appear on iMac screen The day before yesterday, I got a message from my brother-in-law: Want to know something? My iMac has developed a series of horizontal lines all over the screen, more noticeable at the bottom. And he shared a link to a discussion in the Community forum on Apple’s website. His iMac is the 24-inch M1 iMac model released in 2021. Apparently this issue is not uncommon. I’d like to quote the …

September ’24 Studio Update The post September ’24 Studio Update appeared first on Schliefkevision - Paintings & Art Classes. Every so often, I end up taking the path less traveled, and all the dumb, stupid ideas that pop into my head end up as real life things I make. This month I made a bunch of new t-shirts and assorted ephemera, and it’s been a doozy. So here’s the fruits of my KC inspired… …

Habitability around F-class Stars Some years back I read a science fiction story in which the planet where the action took place orbited an F-class star. That was sufficiently odd to get my attention, and I began to pay attention to these stars, which represent on the order of 3 percent of all stars in the galaxy. Stars like our G-class Sun weigh in at about 7 percent, while the vast majority of stars …

Complaining Because They Won't Last month, the Sunday New York Times Book Review carried a piece by David Brooks on Tom Wolfe. This was part or all of an introduction Brooks wrote to a volume comprising Wolfe's pieces "Radical Chic" and "Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers". Two weeks later, there were two letters about the piece, one praising Wolfe, and one putting in a good word for the Bernsteins. Nobody addressed what I thought the …

LG adds ads to screensavers Good luck with that. My next TV might still be an LG (just because I usually like their hardware and price points), but like the current one, it will be blocked at my router from accessing the Internet (HomeKit still works, of course, and I use my Apple TV and NVIDIA SHIELD for media). But this is something the EU should really look into and regulate. The amount of data …

Separating Your Colour Layers for CMYK Screen Printing CMYK screen printing is a great way of bringing both your photographic and coloured art images to life through colour separation. This is achieved by layering four colours (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) on top of each other using only 4 screens. Photoshop plays a key role in this printing process and is essential if you want to create the artwork yourself. We're using Adobe Photoshop CS5. (Other software may …

Disable console logs in production in Next.js Believe it or not, console logging things is still the most used debugging technique by developers. No matter how many advanced tools are available for debugging, logging in to the console still has a sweet spot among developers. And though, it’s pretty convenient to just dump things in the browser console, it can look sloppy if it ends up in your production. Next.js has a pretty handy configuration that you …

Airtags for non Apple Users Pointless Exposition I’m not in the Apple ecosystem, but I was quite enthused about the announcement of the airtag and the FindMy network back in 2019. The private-by-design protocol / implementation looked great, especially compared to literally any other existing tracker. And the reporting network being more-or-less all iOS devices made sure that it would have a very large userbase to begin with. I wanted to use an airtag at …
