Sync onedrive for business mac4/22/2023 You could have asked instead of just deleting everything so I have to download all of my files again. Responding to the question, another user wrote: If Files On-Demand is enforced by policy, I will leave your cloud service once and for all. How I can disable Files On-Demand? Will you please stop knowing the best for your customers? We aren't toddlers. Files On-Demand is also too slow, waiting a second to display folder contents is too much when you organize things in deep folder structures. Also making it impossible for me to do full text searches. What is going on? Why would you enforce Files On-Demand on your customers, isn't it enough to enable it by default? My 70GB of cloud data is not local anymore, sometimes I have no internet, you are locking me away from my files. Responding to the change on Microsoft's community answers forum, one customer complained: What this has meant in practice for many users is that any local copies of files synced to OneDrive have been summarily wiped from their Mac since the update was rolled out. However, the latest update has controversially removed the original user setting to disable it, further angering customers who now have no way of keeping local copies of their synced files. ![]() Previously, it was an optional feature and users could disable it. ![]() The Files On-Demand feature is designed to allow users to access files in the cloud without having to download them and use storage space on their Mac. Worsening matters, in tandem with the new macOS extensions integration, Microsoft has also made Files On-Demand the default behavior of its OneDrive client. Microsoft says this new technology stack should make the feature "much better integrated with the operating system compared to the first version." Judging by feedback though, that has not been the experience of many users, with slowdowns and bugs variously reported. In a change coming with macOS 12.3, currently still in beta, Apple is deprecating the kernel extensions originally used by OneDrive's syncing features, so the Mac client is now using Apple's File Provider extensions instead. Changes to the way OneDrive syncs files and folders on Mac has caused upset among users of the cloud storage service, following Microsoft's rollout last month of a new "Files On-Demand Experience" for Macs running macOS 12.1 and later.

Blender guru render4/22/2023 ![]() This allows us to reduce render times by stopping the render automatically once the noise drops below a certain level (the noise threshold value).ĭoing this requires you to have some idea of how many iterations are likely to be required to achieve a good-looking render. Render times can be reduced using a “noise threshold”. Reducing Render Times With “Noise Threshold” What we want to do is strike a balance between render quality and render time. In any case, Intel’s denoiser is preferred for final renders. Note that you might not have OptiX: it depends on your hardware. Tip: There are two different de-noising tools in Blender: OptiX and Intel’s denoiser (OpenImageDenoise). We will leave the denoising off for now, turning it on later, after we have decided on a sample count that gets us most of the way to where we want to be. We can cheat a bit using one of Blender’s “de-noise” tools, which will help reduce the “graininess” without requiring us to use a very high sample count. The way to fix this is to increase the sample count, but this has an important side effect: renders will take longer when we do this! With a low sample count, renders will appear “noisy”. Let’s now render the donut with a low sample count (say, 100): We will also turn off compositing temporarily: We will first turn off “Noise Threshold” and “Denoise” in the rendering settings, here: However, with some tweaking, it can be made to produce much faster renders. In Blender, there are two options for rendering: Eevee (a fast rendering engine, like those used for 3D games) and Cycles (a ray-tracing rendering engine, typically used for 3D art and animations).Ĭycles usually takes significantly longer to render a result. This file is the result of my work after following along with the steps in the YouTube video. You can download the associated “.blend” file here.You can download a PDF copy of this post here.Notes below correspond to this YouTube video. ![]() I’ll be making additional notes for each of the videos in the series! Just some notes I made while following along with this now-famous blender donut tutorial.

Bitmoji stories4/22/2023 ![]() The startup Bitstrips originally offered an app for customizing the face, hair, clothes and more of your avatar and then creating comic strips for them to appear in. “TV” is actually a return to Bitmoji’s roots. But Facebook’s slow movement here, Google’s half-assed entry and Twitter’s lack of an attempt have given Snapchat’s Bitmoji a massive head start. ![]() Six months later we were first to report Facebook Avatars was in the works, and this year they launched as Messenger chat stickers in Australia, with plans for a global release in 2019 or early 2020. Two years ago I wrote that Facebook was crazy not to be competing with Bitmoji too. Facebook also ramped up it augmented reality selfie filters, added more ephemeral messaging features and launched Watch as a competitor to Snapchat Discover. Instagram Stories killed Snap’s growth for years, and effectively stole the broadcast medium from its inventor. Snap has had a tough few years, as many of its core features have been ruthlessly copied by the Facebook family of apps. Users can visit here on mobile to subscribe to Bitmoji TV so it shows up prominently on their Discover page, or turn on notifications about its new content. The Snapchat Show page for Bitmoji TV notes it is coming in February 2020. ![]() A Snap spokesperson declined to provide more details, but sent over this statement: “Bitmoji TV isn’t available in your network yet, but stay tuned for the global premiere soon!” TechCrunch asked Snap for more details, including how long episodes will be, how often they’ll be released, whether they’ll include ads and if the company acquired anyone or brought on famous talent to produce the series. The trailer Snapchat released previews an animation style reminiscent of Netflix’s Big Mouth. With Bitmoji TV, your avatar and those of your friends will appear in regularly scheduled adventures ranging from playing the crew of Star Treky spaceships to being secret agents to falling in love with robots or becoming zombies.

Brew install python34/21/2023 ![]() Let’s install Python 3.10 and set it as the local version of Python to use for this terminal session. We now have pyenv correctly installed and ready for application. We now reload our session profile source ~/.zshrc ![]() If command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1 then Paste int eh following if you are running zsh cat > ~/.zshrc bash_profile this will enable pyenv each time we start a fresh terminal session. We need to add a few exports and commands to our. Next we update brew and install pyenv brew update You can install HomeBrew in a terminal like so: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL )" To accomplish this we first start with Homebrew, If your reading this your likely familiar, if not Homebrew is a software manager that is primarily used for MacOs ( though I do use it on linux ) to install the software I require with ease. ![]() I really want Python 3.10 for Pygame, and 3.9 for AWS Lambda, this is how you can accomplish that. ![]() In this example I am setting up my 2020 M1 MacBook pro, by default the Python version is: ~ python -version Pyenv allows us to install and manage as many versions of Python as I need and flip between them where required, it uses a convention to allow my terminal session to use a version on Python installed under my home directory rather then over writing the global install. I do not want to edit symlinks to the python binaries or use brew/python installers to force overwrite current Python installations.I do not want to override the default version of Python on the Mac in-case it’s required some something else.I want to use multiple versions of Python locally.I use Python more and more regularly and each time I set up a new machine I go through the same steps to enable a clean and modular way to run multiple versions of Python, each time I forget a step and am left scratching my head, this time I decided to document those steps.

Test javascript online4/21/2023 The language attribute should always be set to simply "JavaScript", or omitted entirely, since at this stage its usefulness is fast approaching zero. Of course, on this side of the infamous browser wars this method of detection is next to useless, as in their rush to support things, the two main browsers didn't give a second thought to supporting the same things and so JavaScript 1.2, for example, doesn't refer to any one standard. When you haveĪny browser that doesn't support JavaScript 1.2 methods was supposed to bypass this whole block of code. If it isn't, the browser will not be given the advanced code.Īs a side note, the original plan for object detection was that it would be achieved using the language attribute of the script tag. ![]() This is where object detection comes in - you can write a simple if () statement to check if a certain object, method, array or property that you need is supported. While it seems logical to simply do a check on which browser the reader is using through the navigator object and base your coding on that, there are too many obstacles in the way for this to be of much use (more on that below). Advanced scripts will therefore die a death in old versions of most browsers, and even some of the current generation. ![]() If you're going to be using JavaScript in any capacity you will soon find out that certain features of JavaScript are not supported by certain browsers. |
