What country are you in? What taxes would you pay upon selling? Personally I would sell, sit it out and then buy back in.

I hope his punishment is similar to his way of speaking. A bloody long sentence.

A bit of rapey wapey, they’ll definitely throw the booky woolly at him

Aim to be a one-take-wonder. If you’re asked for subsequent takes, that’s a bonus for you to have fun - or take on board the director’s notes.

Is that the same Apple that paid all of its staff 100% salary during Covid lockdowns, even before and after it was mandated by government?

The Siri UI was cute at first. But my god is it annoying now. The rainbow border stays active for so long, even when I’ve moved on to other things - so I have to swipe the home bar, but then that ends up closing the app I’m in. And the badge that shows your voice-to-text request is so big and 90% unnecessary especially when it’s a simple request like “lights on”.

Haha sorry for the speed! Good to know about the case sensitive too… I’ve changed my script to be lower case now so I don’t have to worry, but wrapping in the upper is a wise idea for sure

Thanks for the detailed info. Thankfully, my personal use case only uses 10 numbers, 1-9 and 0. So no need for it to figure out if 25 is BE or Y.

That is useful consideration if I need to expand on something in the future though.

I’ll play around a bit with how I make it work - either calc field or script trigger. It’s a very early prototype, but I think for now a trigger works well enough. Basically I’m manually copying the Codes from paper, one record each. So each record has Letters and its Number equivalent. So I’ll be rapidly adding tons of new records, and it’ll give me a running total as I go along

Substitute looks like it might do the trick! Thanks

That looks like the one! Thank you. And no, it’s not for security - I have a log of encoded cost prices for shop inventory, just want a quick way to convert it.

Genuine question - how does that work?

If you’re on benefits it’s because you’re in a job that doesn’t pay enough to survive, so you don’t have time to join the army.

Or you’re too sick to work and therefore not much use in the army.

Or you’re on the lookout for a job, in which case… why would you pick this over stacking shelves at a supermarket and not uprooting your life.

It’s a decent shot to get you started. The general mood and backdrop is good.

A few tips for next time:

You’ve got wonderful hair here - and that can often swing things your way. However, it’s too much the main focus here. Sweep it behind your shoulder.

Crop in tighter so it’s… your head! It is a headshot after all.

The highlights on your central forehead and cheeks, nose and lips are a bit too concentrated. Try a stronger diffuser if you have one, so that it’s a more graduated change.

Your eyes are lovely, very big. However the catchlight in these is too overpowering, particularly on the left eye (your right). Also, the whites of your eyes look too perfectly white (no blood vessels at all!). If that’s true to life - congrats! Otherwise, you can brighten them a bit but not this much.

Tapes for commercials are absurd. If you can’t tell from my reel that I can hold up a product, smile and say a catchphrase… you shouldn’t be working in casting.

Usual warning: avoid GoDaddy at all costs!! For both hosting and domains.

The best way (and free) to set up an email is via your hosting cPanel. That’s if your website is self-hosted. But usually if you pay a monthly subscription for a website builder/package, you’ll have to pay their extra fee… you’re paying for the convenience after all.

I personally pay £10/year for domain and £120/year for hosting (but my host allows me to have several websites hosts and unlimited email accounts, so I share that cost across my clients)

Have you checked out “An Irish Goodbye”? It won the bafta and Oscar a couple years back for best short film. And is a tale about two sons completing their mums bucket list.

Just pointing it out in case you’re looking to get it made, it might be hard to not be compared. It was also a dark comedy

What is up with all these wildly specific US-centric AI-created questions on Reddit lately?

A ton of stuff is produced here in the UK. Even ‘American’ shows and films are often filmed here for the tax breaks. So it’s more likely they’d look for talent locally than import it, which is why you tend to see a lot more British upcoming actors.

But yeah, this one is obviously completely home-grown and certainly impressive. Up North seems to have a lot of strong training grounds eg Ian Smith TV Workshop. And Stephen Graham is good at getting new talent - he held workshops to try and find these actors. I believe he also ‘discovered’ Jodie Comer.

People have no idea about logistics.

First off, it’s not gonna be the same team making a new graphics card as one who is dealing with issues of existing products.

And even then, what’re they gonna do? Half all the factories producing new chips? Cancel all of their shipping containers to take new chips around the world? Hold all the marketing? Cancel the announcement and suck up the cost of venue hire and try to claim it back on insurance?

Piccadilly billboard has had facial recognition in it since re-opening. And that’s for corporations trying to sell us shit. So, yeah, it’s not great - but…

lol some rando journalist posed a hypothetical question to EU and you’re all acting like Apple themselves have actually announced a phone with no port.

Oh interesting, thanks. I’ll give it a go - worst case, nothing happens! Appreciate the insight

Let me guess, they weren’t able to print out any of the evidence?

Imagine if they kept the size of the camera bump as it is, but it was just one lens/sensor. Like, you’d actually get really good photos out of it. The 1x lens is good in most scenarios, but the 2x is unusable and the 5x is a joke.

Okay, that’s good to know, thank you. Yes it does sound more effort than perhaps it’s worth. And at least it’s paid too much VAT rather than not enough! Cheers
