Accidental / Found in the Wild
An unintended crossview I stumbled across on Facebook, it is just two images in a series. The dog's face is a little odd with the mismatch, but the overall image really does seem to have appropriate crossview stereo depth.

Facebook is now removing the ability to mute or snooze specific users
I only use FB for some hobby groups these days, but there are many people posting AI generated garbage in these groups, who I normally mute. This menu is accessed from the "3 dots" button. It appears FB is now removing the option to mute a user. Just the latest bonehead decision to make their platform worse and worse.
Maybe my account happens to be in the midst of this update rolling out, because I still have the old menu (left) on my main feed, but I get the new minimal menu (right) when viewing the post from within a group. Both of these screenshots are from the exact same post, the only difference is viewing it in main feed vs. the group. On mobile, I only see the new minimal menu.
Here is a post from another user a month ago with the same issue. I'm curious what everyone else sees when they click the 3 dots menu?

Why does the Commonwealth extensively use "portal" displays instead of virtual vision?
"Portals" seem to be a high resolution and maybe even stereoscopic 3D physical display. They are used extensively throughout the Commonwealth, for example on the bridge of the Second Chance.
Why do they not use virtual vision to view the information that is shown on such displays? Redundancy? They can do realistic full-dive VR with Total Sensorium Interface, so it doesn't seem like display quality would be a limitation in the virtual vision display.

Where can I download software for COVE K733 Numpad? Not on RD site
I found my device here on the official RD site, but there are only downloads for the user guide, no software. Thanks!

Drip power pack suggestions for metal Astartes Veterans?
I just recently picked up some 2000s era metal Space Marine Veterans from eBay. They look incredible and each guy has very unique details, so the generic 3rd edition style power packs don't match very well.
Any good suggestions for some more unique power packs with cool gothic details that would better fit these guys? Looking for eBay keywords, but 3D printed models are definitely an option also. Thanks!

Techno / Psytrance with quotes from Antigonish "I met a man who wasn't there..." and the film Dreamcatcher
I heard this roughly 2005, could be older. Very energetic techno / psytrance style. I think these things I'm describing are from the same song, but they MIGHT be from two songs on the same album.
There are two distinct parts of spoken words:
An excerpt of the poem "Antigonish" which is read in a slow, languid pace and sounds like it's over a telephone speaker:
>Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away!
The other spoken word part is a clip from the movie Dreamcatcher, where Mr. Grey is speaking to Jonesie about his "memory warehouse". I don't recall it verbatim but it's something like "You thought you could hide that from me, but it's down heeeeerre in your memory warehouse!!"

Image is similar to what I want - but this and all the others I can find online are illuminated. I just want a true LCD, as in a grey calculator like display. Not sure how to keyword search a "not lighting up" voltmeter...
The purpose is to wire it to the batteries in my cats' automatic feeder for more accurate battery checking. The machine's built in display just has one of those "full battery or half a battery" icons that isn't very informative. I don't want it to light up so that it's unobtrusive, and not unnecessarily sapping power.
Thanks!
