Been lusting over this synth partially due to the form factor and aesthetic, but mainly the sound I've heard out of it. I question it though, like with most gas. I do own a Rev2, so wondering if the sound I get out of the Artemis is worth picking up in addition. I do love the texture and brass I can get out of the rev2, but have heard some beautiful pads and arps out of the Artemis.

What are your thoughts on the Artemis? Worth it? Overpriced?

Watching reels and started to notice a slight faded gray overlay that gets applied and eventually goes away. Thought I was seeing things at first but then confirmed

Google says est. availability June 10 for the Lumix 40mm. Is that shipment to retailers? Or likely available ship date from retailers? Debating preordering but hate getting burned by vague/lack of communication from retailers like b&h. Though on the other hand I want to get it ASAP and don't want to get stuck with a backorder due to missing stock. Anyone understand lumix announcements and maybe have an idea what the shipment window from retails will likely be?

I've been a filmmaker for about 10 years, and would like to use AI for my own personal enjoyment. Overwhelmed by all of the ads and different tools, so figured I'd check to see what you all would recommend. Looking for realistic, I've seen some dystopian sci-fi films lately that do a great job at horrific atrocities. I've also seen great syncing of the dialogue to persons mouth. Are the characters developed beforehand, or is it per scene?

I just want realism, consistency between scenes as far as character design and voice goes. I don't need editing tools, will handle post etc.

Sorry for the question dump. Trying to figure this all out!

Usually I get UPS options if not also Kohls, Staples etc. Right now I'm only getting Amazon Locker that is quite far with me, 45 minutes one way. Tried to put the return through a second time as defective instead of not as advertised and got the same result. Did something change or do the options randomly become available?

Would like to consider all options and maybe get something sooner if possible. I like that the n5 is small but effective, and looks like it can fit my noctua d15 lol

Very cautious about clicking and downloading stuff and always thought that the steam workshop would at least be safe until the ppg mod scare. This week we got multiple accounts swiped, they had different passwords, emails etc. which points to malware stealing tokens/session from inside the pc. Can't exactly pinpoint when it happens, they'll assuming the data was bundled and sold because they were multiple devices signed into the different accounts/platforms.

I guess just curious to see where it came from so that we can correct going forward. Anyone else have an issue like this?

Multiple accounts with only thing in common being a PC, and not all were using the same credentials or emails. No emails specifying "new device login" etc. Just business as usual until order confirmation emails were spotted.

Is it likely someone stole the token/session and sold it off? When checking on these main accounts (steam, Roblox, Gmail) they showed logins in other countries and on different devices.

In this instance I am not ruling it out so will reformat the full system with fresh installs. Just sucks knowing that even though the user was vigilant, it still happened and went undetected. Assuming it was something like a steam workshop mod.

Is the only real protection going forward basically log out of all sessions at the end of use, 2FA/authenticator and not use crappy password managers (browser for instance)?

I know that's not necessarily the reason. But say you're building a following and shooting sizzle reels of people's cars. Are they paying you to shoot their car? Are you shooting their cars for fun, seeing profit via meta numbers etc?

Genuinely curious. I see some impressive content out there but wondering if there is something that makes it worth it other than the art. I do love it but haven't niched down and built a page because I question whether I'm just gonna end up getting used as a the guy with a camera who will feature everyone's cars or if the views and engagement, maybe sponsors etc will at least help compensate the time.

Lastly, mainly referring the solo or duo guys who aren't doing big productions with a crew and all that. Talking about the guys out there with a single camera shooting cars at night, rollers, orbit static shots etc.

Started with black 9l. Then it was like endgame quality, so I picked up 3l. Good for single rangefinder setup but 6l would be a good addition when needing a little more. Then the sale hit, and I picked up a 2ne black 9l, then I did a mystery box and got an orange 9l. But now the yellow is tempting, even though I've always been a black on black gear person. Can't resist the price either.

Oh and I have a green 9l on the way for my wife. I haven't bought a prvke in case this happens there too lol

COVID seems to be a mixed bag, with many people looking back saying "I won't get fooled next time". Not looking to debate or defend one side or the other here, and not saying I believe this theory, just trying to get wild here

So let's go tin foil hat, and say for the sake of this theory COVID was actually a plandemic and they manipulated society to get skeptics that much more skeptical, to where if it all happened again the majority of society would reject lockdowns, quarantine, vaccines etc. What if this was the result they were looking for? So that in the face of a second staged viral threat with a high fatality rate, they ensure most roll their eyes and let it happen with open arms. A society that is super over the last one with distrust in the government. Then when they realize people are dropping dead, it's already too late.

Or, plot twist, they want us to think this theory and be like "ha nice try, we will go full lockdown and get the vaccine this time" then it turns out hanta is actually a load a crap and those people get fooled. THEN a third one comes and actually wipes them out lmao

I'd say, for the sake of my his theory, that they'd do it through the vaccine. But if one is to take out a bunch of people, they need the others to still trust them. So do it with the virus, not the vaccine.

I've always used elementor, though I'm building my current site trying to use block editor but not vibing with it. I'm reading that in terms of seo, the default editor performs much better. Is this accurate? Is it that much of a difference where I should shut up and figure this out? Or am I wasting time and should just knock out the site with elementor?

Facility I use has had rodent problems in the past, they came through my units even with no food, vitamins, liquids, etc, basically tore up some new rugs and blankets I had. Since then I have moved everything to a new unit, all in plastic bins and haven't had an issue, early on they passed through so saw a couple droppings but that was it. I have a small refrigerator that I need to store, it didn't get much use. Nothing spilled inside or anything like that, though I'm concerned of maybe the freon/evap? I don't know much about them, just curious if it's a bad idea.

Our Verizon lines just suddenly started to get hit with scam calls and texts. Initially thought it was just me and suspected data leak for some sort of service, but noticed that our other Verizon lines started getting hit at the same time. They started yesterday, 5/6/26 and continue through today.

Obviously using auto call screening will cause AI to pick up the phone, causing the line to get flagged as active and the scammers will keep the pressure.

Just wondering if this is a Verizon thing and if others started getting hit at the same time.

I suspect some sort of data leak, because out of nowhere my line went from quiet to heavy spam calls and texts. The calls are from variations of a local number, and the texts are acting as services I didn't sign up for. Anyone else?

Id like to modify my camera body, but I can't quite afford to permanently donate it. With a filter, will I be able to shoot nornally, and it will it be the same?

I started an LLC in CA then Covid happened, and I never did business with the LLC. I apparently never completed the paperwork to dissolve either. Just received a demand to file letter from FTB.

If I do nothing, will they just terminate the llc and yearly $800 owed is only owed by the llc? Or will I personally be responsible for that $800/yr? If so, I'm screwed because I am being laid off and barely getting by. Not sure if responding will make matters worst, or if they will just automatically charge off and suspend/terminate the LLC.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!
