This is a great idea! Are you doing it manually or scraping subs for keywords etc?

That reminds me... I was converting some VHS tapes for a family member and one was of an event on a farm where a trailer had tipped over in a slope damaging something on the axel. Cut to a short time later and the clip continues with the fa

I picked up a WiiU in 2018 but never really gave it much attention until lockdown. Wii Sports was a good bit of entertainment at times with my family, but I spent many nights playing Mario kart online with strangers, or playing Zelda Breath

100% agree with the writer. My daughter has been homeschooling and Google Classroom is the platform they are using, of which Meet is the video delivery part. The main things I've seen: 1. The age range of users is 5 years and older. 2.

Looking at the examples shared here I thought "that's pretty cool, and would be amazing to try, doesn't look creepy at all". I loaded a portrait of my grandmother taken 60 years ago and it's weird, uncanny valley an

The answer to that question is a "no". Those large companies are distributors, packaging a product and selling it to consumers. Think of distribution like a motorway Vs dirt road. If you're doing it yourself, you're ru

My understanding is that the recycling of paper is still quite an intensive chemical process requiring lots of water, bleaching chemicals etc.

I've had quite an odd idea this past year as video conferencing has taken off massively both for public figures and private individuals. ....what if you had a malicious video conferencing service that was free to all? Because it's

Scorsese put out a film called 'Silence' a few years ago. It's set in that period, stars Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver. It's a heavily skewed religious film but very good.

My theory is that it's a combination of too many graduates produced with a lower quality of skill, and the removal of editors and traditional information filters.

I can't find the link but there was a podcast earlier in the year, around February I think, with Bob Iger and the strategy for Disney and Disney+. It's stayed with me as the timing for the launch was almost perfect with the lockdo

I don't fully understand why every question needs to be 100% relevant. If you have two candidates equal in technical aspects, then a point of difference is in problem solving and dealing with the unexpected.

I've recently retired an aging 2009 iMac. The SSD upgrade done years ago was a life saver for it. In its place I've purchased and upgraded a 2009 Mac Pro over the last few months. The ability to swap out a few parts will give anot

To put it into context I'm in a small team, our team is part of a larger 40+ team. There are things I would be comfortable saying openly with my team Vs the wider team. Not that I have much of a filter anyway... We tried doing a bimon

Our Friday stand-up is pretty much an opportunity to share a song from a year and why it's meaningful to you personally. The idea was suggested by our scrum master last June and it has gone down well. It's been good for maintainin

I'm likely wrong but I believe that is/was part of Japanese company culture. You were brought in, trained up and expected to stay with the company through good and bad times until the day you retire/die.

Anyone remember an iPhone app canned Seene (I think) that did similar about 7 years ago? It lacked the AI aspect but essentially you took several photos from different angles and it created some form of depth map with the central image as

It's advertising as an extension of a personal brand. Just look at all the teens etc sporting airpods etc. It's the same as it was 15 years ago with the iPod earphones. I can afford this so therefore I'm a step higher on a so

Depending on the scale of the backend... If it's such a mess perhaps there is a business case for you fully understanding it with the intention to design and build a better thing? One that is very well documented and fit for purpose?

Perhaps making a sponge cake? You can know all the ingredients and know how long each step takes. You may have made it successfully before too. However if the yeast is bad then the sponge won't rise, if the eggs are not fresh or not at
