AXS Ticketing will not honor a refund when their smartphone app fails to load ticket, denying you entrance to event. (lemmy.sdf.org)

Happened a while back to me. I own an Android phone, but when I went to use my $200 in tickets to a local event, the app wouldn't display them. Contacted AXS support and they were explicit in denying any recourse or access to a paper ticket.

Came across this today, and it looks like the kind of new tech that could make smart prosthetics more comfortable / better.

Arc’teryx’s new powered pants could make hikers feel 30 pounds lighter in c/assistive_technology@lemmy.sdf.org

I met a medically retired marine back when I was in school that changed my view on this. His superior insisted on his group walking as much as possible with their packs, but instead of it just being extra exercise he wound up having to get an amputation after all of the stress on his legs lead to an issue with the arteries or veins. At a certain point, extra punishment isn't beneficial, and a mechanism to manage it would be useful.

Does anyone have a good workflow for Saturn 4 Ultra or similar auto-leveling tilt bed resin printers? I just got one and I'm worried its just junk. (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Just got my Saturn 4 ultra, and it just doesn't seem to be very good. I'm toying with the idea of sending it back and paying the restocking fee, but that's a lot of money (and shipping fuel, etc, etc) to waste.

Upgraded from a Mars 2 Pro and Mars 4, and I just can't believe how clunky the Saturn is. The build plate is too tall and too crammed into the case to make a decent tilting adapter, and a ton of resin gets wasted when removing parts. The touchscreen UI is almost as bad as the Mars 4, with horrible use of screen space (multiple prints with same name but different date at the end? Too bad, you can't see any part of the title past the first two words) and poorly designed features.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has this printer or a similar one figured out, and is actually enjoying using it.

Their pitch expressly claims the device isn't AT... But it is to help more people access the outdoors, which I think counts to an extent.

That makes sense to me. Going to space is going to space; astronauts go to space.

It's been a long time since I last tried shotcut. Just loaded it up to try following along with the video, and it looks way more user friendly and capable! Thanks for sharing the video!

Thanks for the heads up. The channel has a newer tutorial for 2.8 but I haven't followed it and haven't used the newer Blender much.

Mikeycal's video tutorials were my first real introduction to video editing on Linux that I felt worked for me. I'm immensely grateful for the work he's put into helping others learn about Blender's NLE.

Just providing some unrequested feedback: The bottom of the sidebar text about the mod's familiar tools and descriptions should be a post! Maybe stickied so that there's quick access to good tools for people who are just looking to get started.
