I recommend looking to see if there's a nearby art school and whether it will let you audit Drawing 101/102 classes or enroll in a non-credit program. I did this about 15 years ago and it was amazing to have in-person instruction

You may be correct with OpenSea and Ethereum. The art/NFT scene on Tezos seems different, with maybe 80% of people focused on the art itself and collecting for the sake of holding for personal enjoyment. The prices are much lower, in g

My experience is similar. Even if and when the metrics are calculated properly, there's often some design or business reason put forth as an excuse to ignore them.

There are many different ways to move objects through a flow field. Some people use the vectors to accelerate particles, others as instructions for instantaneous rotation, etc. The crossing lines aren't necessarily following the flow f

Generative art (Processing, p5.js, etc.) has been a hobby of mine for 15 years or so. During that time, a handful of people were truly able to make a living out of it -- or even get paid for doing it. I ran workshops, taught people to code,

Honestly, I'd love to see it just use SQLite as a backend. If it's just storing results, that seems feasible and it would reduce the complexity of the tech stack.

It appears to specifically be "Sign in with your Cable Provider." They list the providers and fuboTV is not one of them. EDIT: I was wrong! I used "search all providers" and indeed, fuboTV was listed there, so I signed i

This is the problem I'm experiencing. The best I've found is fuboTV and it's not great. I don't have cable in my house. I'd be willing to pay NBC $100 for access to all of their live and on-demand olympic coverage (

I used to work with the USG. There was "Beta" software absolutely everywhere, including on some very sensitive systems, because it was not required to go through security approval until it was out of Beta. In some instances, these

There are a lot of good people teaching at UNC. However, since the days of Jesse Helms calling the school a zoo and "pinko filth," there has been partisan pressure to tear it apart. Sadly, it seems that might finally be working. S

I might do that but also might be able to use a credit card extended warranty perk to have it fixed or replaced.

No, I’m OP and experienced it first hand. It was after struggling for hours and calling Acer support that I found this review, which accurately describes the problem/situation. I did not write the Amazon review. FWIW, I submitted a cla

With this machine, if purchased from Amazon, the settings remain greyed out even if you set the Supervisor PW. That is not the case if you buy it elsewhere.

You can do that on this laptop if you don’t buy it from Amazon. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing how. If you but it from Amazon, like I did, you can set/change BIOS passwords, but Secure Boot cannot be changed and you cannot

I’m the OP. I can get into the BIOS, set passwords, etc, but the options to turn off Secure Boot are disabled and it is impossible to add anything to the boot order other than the drive that ships with the machine. Acer likely are the only

There are a lot of YouTube videos of people going into the BIOS on this same laptop, but acquired elsewhere. From what I can tell, it’s only the Amazon ones that have the BIOS locked.

I purchased one of these computers for my child. It made a loud buzzing noise and turned off last week. I discovered the locked BIOS for myself when I tried to boot from a USB to diagnose the problem. Acer wants $619.99 to diagnose it at th
