That hour and a half could turn out to be the best 6 hours of your life.

It's been two months since I've seen any new projects. I'm a generalist and voice actor. Are there just no applicable projects?

How does one resolve lighting issues in video when their analysis bot is so inconsistent? I set up my lighting as best I could and got a score of 23... still under the 25 minimum required. Just for the heck of it, I ran another test without changing anything and got a 17. Wondering what was going on, I ran a third test with no changes and got a 12. WTF is going on? I can't pass the video test and the scores appear to be random.

Has anyone done any work in this project? I was invited more than a week ago and still show no tasks available. I don't even have access to the community group for my language which is supposed to be used to find tasking partners. I've reached out to a project manager and have had no reply.

My Anova sealer pro has developed a problem after just less than a year. It will vacuum just fine, but won't transition into seal mode. When I try hitting the manual seal button while the bag is vacuumed, the machine pauses, letting some air in before it seals.

I've been dealing with Anova's customer "service" about this for the last two weeks. I even made a video showing the issue and the serial number for them, but I'm told that I have to make a new video using THEIR bags. If I can't demonstrate the problem using their bags, they won't honor the warranty.

In my area, consumer protection law says that it's illegal to require the use of branded consumables for a warranty to be honored. I've asked for a sample as the bags that came with the sealer were used up months ago, and they have refused.

I have lots of bags, and really don't want to have to buy more for this. It's not so much the finances, but the principle of the whole situation.

I bought it through Amazon, but they say that their return window has expired. Anyone have any idea about what I can do short of spending $50 on another package of vacuum sealer bags?
