Things have been quiet lately on account of my house burning down. Nobody was hurt, and I haven't lost my physical / digital art pieces, but I have no way of working on them right now... which means I'm going a little stir crazy! haha! ha !!!

I had the foresight to draft a post with some of my favorite panels from my twine game, Threadbare. I was originally just gonna use them to promote the game, but this is all I can to work on right now, so you're getting the director's commentary reel I guess. but first

Play Threadbare!

Or don't, I can't control you.

I started making Threadbare so that I could weasel my way out of drawing comics. it was supposed to be a low-effort way of telling Frey and Kairos' story, which is, in the grand scheme of things, ancillary to everything happening on wasteland Earth.

(honks clown nose)

the art is also made to be low-effort, even if it doesn't stay that way. unremitting red/white/blue/black takes the guesswork out of painting in color, and also feels like propaganda art. mapping characters to certain colors makes simplifying them easier. Frey can be reduced to an angry blue smudge and Kairos can be a stupid red hat on a triangle.

I had already written out most of the Frey-Kairos scenes back in 2023. The holding cell scene is actually one of the first things I drew LOL. Everything else sprang up from the twine game format. I knew I wanted some buffer between Frey breaking out of the Abattoir and Frey confronting the Oracle, so that we could learn more about the two of them, and also the Archive, without rushing into prophecide. This ended up changing the structure of the story more than I thought it would... and created a lot of self-inflicted scope creep... which is for me to unpack at a later date (when I'm done) (girl help im not even done)

but probably the biggest addition is

her

and ES I guess.

ES and Rhodes were originally funnie little nature spirits, but I long suspected that Rhodes would make a kickass ex-secutor, and I needed some NPCs to explore the Archive with, so. here ya go. I promise I'm going somewhere with them. Rhodes is filling the shoes for another old character concept I had (which was partly cannibalized by the Oracle of Caeres, funny enough.)

<more spoilery stuff under the cut. play my twine game.>

The other characters like Petrei and the Undertaker were designed on the spot, which is to say I just opened a canvas and started painting and hoped for the best. because this was supposed to be low-effort. haha.

I want to go back and figure out Petrei's anatomy because the idea of doing horrible manweevil origami is fun.

The other big surprise in all of this was having sound and music figure so strongly into things. My last twine game, Killswitch, had maybe three little songs to set the mood, and no SFX. I guess something broke in me and I decided I wanted to make an ace attorney game this time. You're all getting bespoke vox files now. my gift to you. and part of why this took like 9 months

I feel lucky that I found the musician ROZKOL, whose work is featured prominently in the twine, just as I was dipping my toes into audio editing and really scripting the meat of things. I was not expecting to find a musician in the Creative Commons scene who had totally figured out what a ceaselessly grinding imperial death machine sounds like. I have a hard time thinking in music, even though it motivates so much of my work... sometimes I feel like I have aphantasia but for compositions LOL. So I really enjoyed this kind of post-hoc surprise collaboration, it was cool to watch the scenes start to mold themselves around ROZKOL's music.

The slideshow-quicktime-event-fight-scene is especially molded to ROZKOL's song "Good Soldier." A fun return to the fine tradition of warrior cats AMVs that I was raised on. bringing in player participation is something that I would like to explore in a more elegant way in the future, I really like the idea of a music video being an active, participatory experience and not a passive one. and honestly I just want other people to feel the same unhinged rush that I feel when I put a song on repeat 70 times while painting.

There's I think four different routes in the first part of that encounter, leading to some variant panels like these.

depending on your choices, Frey gets roughed up a little more or a little less, ES may or may not stick their neck out for you, and the Oracle has choice words for you if you're a good soldier dancing partner.

(fun fact: if you don't choose to act during this scene, Frey picks a route and acts at random.)

I'm still learning what does and doesn't make a meaningful player choice. is there a branch because the possibility of choosing to / choosing not to see it is compelling, or is there a branch just to be a branch? I don't really think that you need to fundamentally alter the narrative to have fun with it. little things like ES and Rhodes remembering your name still feel meaningful to me, even if they don't change the outcome of anything. but I'm also bending to certain limitations that I cannot fully discuss until I finish this damn thing.

Speaking of finishing, I made the denouement in a deranged fever haze. I got sick twice in the span of, like, a month. It was pretty miserable. but hey, at least I had time to finish my twine.

^^^ how it feels to finish your twine (she doesn't know her house is about to burn down)

further in the vein of things burning down, I'm glad I found the song "In Your Mind" and didn't get cold feet about keeping it in the tracklist. I was struggling to nail down the tone of the ending scene, until I gave it a few listens and things clicked. but at the last minute, I nearly swapped it for "Burn it All Down." It's a really good song, too, but it's probably for the best I briefly possessed Kairos' gift of prophecy and didn't pick the one about uhhhhh. burning.

I think that's all I got for now. thanks for playing and/or flirting with the idea of playing by reading this post. kill petrei for me. and try not to be on fire.

Two blue screens

I wrote a lesbian robot puppy girl short story. Please enjoy :3 also the pov character is trans.

Pulling into the driveway, I stepped out of the car. Thebsweet smelling rain cascaded across my face, through my hair and soaking into my clothes on the brief stride to the front door. I fumble with the keys, sliding through three on my ring before finding the right one, all the while the water and wind sap my heat. I turn the key, open the door, and step inside, dripping water on the hardwood floors with a plop. I shut the door, remove my wet black sneakers and socks, hanging both on an empty coatrack.

From upstairs I hear my favorite thing. An excited “Woof” compressed and taken from Nintendo’s ds game “Nintendogs.” Following the sweet audio came a rumble of a heavy chassis across carpeting floor and then a “slump,” “bump” and “crash” as my beautiful girlfriend rolls down the stairs in an excited heap, her mechanical tail wagging. She quickly corrects her pose and rises to her feet to embrace me, squeezing tight enough to hinder my breathing.

Hal-E is my adorable robot girlfriend, her tummy and face each having a monitor like a Nintendo DS. The tummy screen currently has nintendogs open and all the necessary buttons to play of ones favorite Nintendo game on it. The bumpers are on her sides and the cartridge slot is hidden on her back. She wears a crop top and booty shorts so that heat can vent properly, and to cover more explicit ports. across her exposed metal are numerous stickers of bands, anime, cute animals, and flowers

I squeeze back, but stop saying. “Wait wait, I’m all wet. Down girl.”

A small green light flicks on when she hears the order. In an instant she gets on her knees, hands on her lap, and stairs up with the same dumb, cute, adorable smile she always has when I come home. I’m already colder without her natural heaters pressed against my body. So I’ll have to go quick so I can feel her again.

“Puppy, wait for me in our bedroom,” I said as I walked into the other room.

HAL-Es green light turned on and she said “I love you,” scampered up the stairs. She’s a robotic puppy girl all the way through. When we first got together she was just a robot girl, but she had fun exploring the internet and discovered puppy play. It was a recursive file in her memory banks. She pleaded with me to make a program that would help fulfill her dreams. As a programmer, I stayed up all night for a week and fulfilled her wishes and embedded it in that nintendogs cartridge. She can take it out any time she wants. But she loves it too much to ever stop being my good girl.

Now alone I removed my wet clothes and grabbed a towel from the linen closet. I ran the cotton across my skin and removed the water from it, but the cold remained. The rain left a lasting chill deep within me, and brought all the grime from that days work to the surface. Now I need my puppy to wash it all away. I walked upstairs to our shared room, opened rhe door and saw HAL-E sitting on the bed. She too was uncovered, revealing the stickers placed upon her breasts. It reads “if lost, please return to Marcy.” When I see that sticker I can’t help but bite my lip.

HAL-Es eyes widened as I entered the room, her mechanical tail wagging faster and faster, smacking against the pillows with a loud “whomp” over and over again. I could tell she wanted to jump out of bed and hug me, tackle me down and kiss me all over. She made sharp pushes against the bed, false starts as she contained her excitement. As I slowly approached the bed, I heard her cooling fans activate, pumping heat out from her head and torso to keep her from overheating. She whimpers, desperate to be played with, for someone to touch her controls and insert data into her.

“Look at how eager you are… so patient… so good…” I said, my voice shifting to a soft sultry tone. “Good girl. Do you want belly rubs?”

She let out another whimper, then a compressed yap. She rolled onto her back and looked up, her digital eyes filled with a burning heat and desire. Her vents pumped warm air all over my legs, a heat that threatened to drag me down onto her. I wanted to take it all, all her warmth and embrace her. But not yet, first we play the game.

“Good girl,” I said, rubbing my hands all over her chassis, my fingers touching the lower ds screen and sending signals into her brain. Several green lights flicked on and off as I touched her, telling me how much she enjoyed it. She was officially in “good girl mode” and now all pleasure and sensations are heightened. Just a tap of her screen sends waves of energy through her circuitry. if she wasn’t on her charging leash no doubt she would lose power.

I moved my position between her legs and told her to keep her head up. Laying down on her warm body was like a car running car in the winter, so warm it melted any ice still within my skin. I placed my thumbs on the buttons and +pad and my index fingers on her bumpers. She squirmed with each button press, the good feelings programmed into her mind. I didn’t have to play for long, for her it would feel like hours of pleasure.

Nintendogs is always a fun time, espreciallt when my girlfriend moans every time I press a buotton. Every time I play with a puppy I’m playing with her mind, and every treat given is a treat she feels. Her vents are pouring hot air, but when I check her power banks she is still charging. After 15 minutes, I pulled up her task manager, I saw how much her cpu and memory was full. All her processes were at their limit! “How about we turn some of these off…” I said.

“Ahh! Bark! W-what?” She struggled to make words after being a puppy for so long. But before she understood what was happening, I had limited her cognitive processes to 30% and boosted her pleasure centers to 120%. This was something she could turn back on if she wanted too, and was within our discussed limits. Messing with her mind, messing with her programming and messing with her wiring and attachments, she lived for it.

Now that she could only bark and whimper, reduced to my dumb, sweet, happy puppy, a puppy full of pleasure, I rose from between her legs and laid across her belly. My breasts pressed against hers, the sticker caught on my nipple, teasing me unintentionally and reminding me how much I love this woman. The warmth exuding from her chest was burning hot and nipples like fresh dripped candle wax. My eyes locked with hers, those digital girl eyes. I locked my lips with her synthetic lips just below her top screen.

Her silicon lips were warm and soft. What others see as fake, to me they were realer than any other. My tongue slid between them, and I felt the zap of her hidden mouth port. The tingle only made me want her more. I kissed and kissed, she squirmed and moaned into my mouth. It was delicious. Her hands were spazzing, fighting the urge to touch the port between her legs. She knew I’d get there later.

I shifted my weight, so that my knees were on her arms and my dick between her breasts. “Be a good puppy…” I said, my voice containing my eagerness, “and suck mommy’s cock.” Her hot lips on my skin almost made me explode, her sensation, her obedience, her eagerness. I own her, and she loves it, and I love it. The jolt of her energy through my body called me to thrust into her mouth, her synthetic tongue caressing the head. Now I had to hold myself back from explosion. I needed to hold off the building tension from below, calling me to unload inside my puppy’s mouth. “She would love it, mommy’s hot cum inside her,” I thought. The devil in me told me to do it, ruin her hot mouth, short circuit her brain with my love. But no. Not yet. I can’t.

My puppy’s eagerness brought her sensual blowjob from a savoring to devouring. Her dumb, sweet, gorgeous puppy programming needed her to get my cum. But I had to keep it from her, like waving a toy over a dogs head, beckoning it to jump for it, only to snatch the toy away before they can lock their jaws into it. I let her go fast, but now I needed to stop before I gave her the prize.

“Good girl, drop it.”

She immediately stopped, but her eyes were confused, begging me to let her keep going. She was hungry for it. She couldn’t even move her arms to bring me back in. She just had to wait, like a good puppy. The Denial fed her eagerness, she needed a release. She needed to fuck her mpmmy so bad, and I could tell.

“Let’s use the gba port.” The gameboy had an insane amount of device attachments to go with different games or products. The attachment we are going to use was not a commercially made device, but Etsy creators sold these for anyone who had a Nintendo DS branded robotic girlfriend who wanted to get kinky. With a little luck, I managed to get a hold of the attachment before they were shut down by a classic Nintendo cease and desist.

From the bedside table, I pulled out a Gameboy advanced dick attachment with vibration and cum functionality. I plugged in the cock to the gba port between HAL-E’s legs (it was placed there to mimic the ds’ original design and got past Nintendo censors). As soon as it connected, the cock hardened and throbbed. The temperature of the dick rose, using it as a heat sink. Her artificial cum leaked out like a doctor checking a syringe before inserting it and I was the patient. I poured lube all over her cock and stroked her twice to get it all over.

I laid on the bed, my legs in the air and my butt propped up against the pillows. My cock leaked across my front, and my asshole puckered. I put my hands on my cheeks and spread them, beckoning my sweet puppy closer. “Be good girl, Fuck mommy…”

Her desperate puppy eyes guided her as HAL-E moved forward and pressed her warm robot cock against my greedy asshole. She moaned and glitched moan, one that splintered and drowned out her screaming fans. Her cocks head pressed into my ass, spreading it and filling me up with her love. Unlike the doctor, she pushed her cock jn and out. “Arf” and “bark” came from her speakers with every thrust. Her eyes were locked on mine and our hands intwinned. Our love was one, her heat and mine, a building cycle. Her glitchy moans. She’s going to cum.

She’s speeding up. Im moaning, she’s barking, she’s such a good girl, such a good puppy. I’m going to reward her so good. “Good girl. Good puppy.” She speeds up again. Faster. Harder. Desperation rising. My cock tenses. I can feel her cock rubbing against my special spot. “Cum with mommy.”

She barks in response, my beautiful dumb puppy.

“3.”

She speeds up, I’m losing control of my voice and moans.

“2.”

She’s overheating, her fans on overtime, my body is so hot too, I love her so much.

“1.”

Her cock is tensing, but she won’t cum until I say. She’s a good girl.

“Good girl… cum.”

We both cum, as she pins be down with her robot body. She locks her cock inside my Ass to make sure I feel her pulsating eruption within me. Such a good puppy. Her screens both turn blue as the pleasure and heat overloads her. It’s too much, her lips lock with mine as she reboots.

Meanwhile I erupt all over our tummies. First on mine, then hers as she leans over to reboot. With deep breaths I embrace her, I give my darling puppy robot girl all of my love. I kiss her lips, sticking my tongue in and moaning “HAL-E” with every thrust. “Good girl.”

I spent 2 minutes with her as she rebooted. It was quiet, broken by a few clicks as the systems worked through and reset to normal levels. With every moment I fell more and more in love with HAL-E, all over again. But every time I couldn’t help but get scared. She doesn’t always blue screen, but when she does I can’t help but worry. She’s told me 100 times that it’s harmless, but I still get nervous.

After those two minutes to calm down, she woke up. Her eyes bright, “hey cutie” she said. Those words made my heart melt. I kissed her again and again, and forever into the night.

Paradise dug deeper into the father-son relationship between Cal (James Marsden) and Kane Bradford (Gerald McRaney) in the show’s latest episode, “In the Palaces of Crowned Kings.”

For those who came to enjoy McRaney on Dan Fogelman‘s other series, This Is Us, Kane is quite the departure from his warm and kind Dr. K. “[I’ve played] those sons of b***es before, so this is not a brand new experience for me, really,” McRaney admits to TV Insider. “He’s a complex character to be sure, and no, he is not the nicest guy ever to come down the pike,” he adds of Kane.

As viewers see in the episode, Kane essentially positioned Cal as a tool to gain power, forcing his son to run for office, rather than follow his dream of becoming a high school teacher. A billionaire in his own right, Kane’s sway was revealed in a flashback when Cal tried accessing certain files on his tablet and found they were restricted.

Disney / Brian Roedel

When Cal sneaks into his dad’s study where Kane has fallen into a deep sleep, he uses the man’s hand to scan for access and discovers what Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) had done to the scientists who were sent out to explore the outside world after the catastrophic event that sent them underground.

It proved to Cal that his own father had more control than he did in this situation, and it led to a tense confrontation with Sinatra in the days leading up to Cal’s death. Additionally, viewers got a closer look at the president’s final days with his son Jeremy (Charlie Evans) and girlfriend Robinson (Krys Marshall).

Much of the episode’s story focused on that father-son dynamic that was further strained due to Kane’s battle with dementia. It was Kane’s seemingly confused comments made under his breath that led Cal to examine certain files even closer than he previously had. Eager to share the truth with the inhabitants of Paradise, it seems that Cal was determined to leave clues and hints at the truth that survivors were found in the outside world and citizens deserve to be informed.

Obviously, Cal wasn’t able to spread his clues to trusted individuals before his untimely demise, but Kane did show some remorse for his harsh treatment of his son following Cal’s funeral. Confused due to his mental state, Kane speaks candidly to Jeremy as if he’s Cal, and he admits that he’s not proud of anything he’s done, but he is proud of his son. Sadly, Cal wasn’t there to hear it.

Disney / Brian Roedel

“[He] has his own version of affection for his son,” McRaney notes of Kane’s outlook on his son Cal. “There are people who just don’t know how to express it. I do think he has some genuine affection for his son. The son’s not just a tool to further his own ambition. And I think he is disappointed that his son is not more like him,” he adds, noting that Kane’s ambitions weren’t reflected in Cal. “And that’s what causes him problems.”

Working opposite his TV son, played by Marsden, McRaney adds, “There wasn’t a lot of work that we put into building a relationship there. It’s fascinating. Some actors you just can hit the ground running with and this was one of those cases. It didn’t take a lot of prep [or] rehearsal.”

As for portraying Kane’s struggle with dementia, McRaney notes, “He is one of the people who has the secrets, but also in playing somebody with dementia… there are these incredible moments of absolute clarity. And that’s one of the things I enjoyed exploring about this character is, when do those moments happen and how clear are they?”

We saw some of that clarity rise to the surface in the episode’s final moments after Kane had acknowledged he’d seen Xavier Collins’ (Sterling K. Brown) daughter Presley (Aliyah Mastin) the night Cal was killed. It turns out that she was definitely there in some shape or form because she had Cal’s missing tablet under her mattress.

But that’s a mystery that will have to wait for another episode. As for Kane’s position in Paradise, McRaney says, “There’s more to him than just the money.” We’ll be eagerly awaiting more pieces to Paradise‘s puzzle, as McRaney recalls, “When I finished reading the script, I couldn’t wait to read the next episode. I want to know what’s happening here. And when a script does that to me… I think an audience will identify with it and have the same feeling.” Truer words haven’t been spoken.

The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall... Youtuber DR .ᐟ.ᐟ

I changed Maxime and I confession bc I thought the context of the gp explorer would be good! enjoy the little writing :). Also this is inspired by what happened in the gp in this CR. Maxime had a for real an accident but luckily wasn't hurt but that wasn't the case for Manon. In my Dr I scripted that no one was heavily injured and that Maxime has just some bruises around his arms

We're on direct live for the second edition of the gp explorer by Squeezie, everyone is here and their eyes are laid on the racers. Maxime and I shared a last eye contact before taking place in our one-seater. Stress was filing my whole body... This wasn't my first time driving this car yes... But this time it was real

Red... Green

The engines throbbed and everyone started the race. Maxime's car was in front of me for the two first laps and then... Fuck...

He hit another car, Manon's one, and then ended up outside of the track. Suddenly my coach told me in my in ear monitor:

"Noah reste focus sur la course, t'inquiète pas pour max il va bien allez reste concentrée."

Noah stay focused on the race, don't worry about max he's doing okay, stay focused"

How the fuck could I focus... Anyways I shook the worries off and continued to drive.

At the end my first reflex was to get out of my car and to search for maxime.

"Sid, il est où Max?

-Je sais pas je crois il est dans l'écurie là."

Sid where is max? / I don't know but I think he's on the stable here

I ran towards our stable and he was indeed here. A bag of ice against he's forehead. My coach was right... He wasn't that hurt. At least physically.

"Max... Ça va?"

Max... Are you okay?

He looked at me. His eyes were a bit shiny and swollen

"ah ouais t'inquiètes... T'a bien conduit je suis fier de toi lily" oh yeah don't worry... You drove well I'm proud of you

I walked towards him and leaned on the wall he was already against. I could see he was not okay. I know how happy he was to participate... And so much effort to go off track on the second lap.

Désolé... J'ai tout gâché vraiment je sais pas ce qu'il s'est passé lily sérieux.

Sorry... I really ruined everything I don't know what happened lily seriously.

I put my hand on his shoulder

"C'est pas grave Maxi-

-Si c'est grave putain. Si j'avais pas fais le con j'aurais pu facilement arrivé top 5. J'ai tout ruiné... On s'est entraîné pendant super longtemps, TU t'es entraîné super longtemps. T'avais super peur de conduire et pourtant t'a continué et j'ai tout gâché putain...

"it's no big deal maxi-

Yes it's big deal fuck. If I wasn't such a dumbass I would've easily finished top 5. I ruined everything... We've trained for so long YOU trained for so long. You were really scared of driving and you still continued. I fucking ruined everything

His eyes started to fill with tears. I've never seen him cry. Well I've only known him for a couple of months but... It broke me.

I hugged him, he hugged me back, holding me tightly with every strength he had. His body was shaking a bit from crying.

Tu sais maxime. Je suis persuadé que tu es un très bon pilote. Et tout le monde ici le sait. Tu as fait une faute et ça arrive. Alors oui tu as fait cette faute le jour du gp d'accord. Mais l'important c'est le parcours. On s'est bien amusés pendant les entraînements non? Tu t'es rapproché de Sid. Et... Ça nous a permis de nous rencontrer

You know maxime. I am certain that you are a really good racer. And everybody here knows that. You made a mistake and it happens. You made this mistake on the gp yeah. But the important thing is the process. We had fun during the practice right? You became close with Sid. And... It allowed us to meet"

He pulled back from the hug a bit but was still holding me by the waist. He stayed silent for a bit before saying

"Merci... Tu sais, te rencontrer c'est la meilleure chose qui m'est arrivée de l'année. Nan. De ma vie."

Thanks. You know, meeting you was the best thing that happened to me of the year. No. This was the best thing of my whole life

He smiled and kissed me. When he pulled back he chuckled and said:

Ton amour c'est plus précieux que ce trophée de con là, squeezie peut aller se faire foutre! Je rigole sur la deuxième partie bien sûr haha

Your love is more precious than this dumbass trophy, Squeezie can go fuck himself! I'm joking about the second part obviously haha

That was my maxime... The one I met and the one I loved and will still love forever<3

A comprehensive list of every single Frankenstein adaptation i have ever read/watched and my reviews of them

Universal Frankenstein 1931

I hate this movie with my whole being. It's like they read the book upside down and backwards. Hate the creature's design. 1/10

Young Frankenstein

A hilarious spoof of the Universal film. Gene Wilder kills it as Frederick von Frankenstein. Creature design is much better than Universal, I love the non functional zipper on his neck. So silly and goofy. 9/10 (minus one point for Creech fucking being an important joke/plot point bc it makes me uncomfortable)

Junji Ito's Frankenstein

A mostly faithful comic adaptation of the original novel. Creature design is fantastic but he has short hair for some reason. Very cool art. 8/10

Frankenstein Alive, Alive!

Literally my favorite graphic novel. Bernie Wrightson cared about the Creature so much and it really shows. Incredible adaptation exploring the rest of Creech's life. 11/10 cannot recommend enough

Frankenweenie

Great Tim Burton movie. I love Sparky. Another successful spoof of the Universal film. 7/10 (minus points for being lowkey racist/xenophobic)

The Rocky Horror Show / Picture Show

I'm lumping in the musical and movie together. I love RHPS with my whole being. And it's a weirdly good adaptation. Dr. Frank N Furter's desire to create the perfect artificial man is explicitly queer. Rocky is born and immediately starts singing about how he's confused and miserable. 8/10

I, Frankenstein

Not a great movie but I did kind of enjoy it. Adam Frankenstein is caught in the celestial war of good and evil because he is neither human nor demon. His design sucks because he's just a guy, not nearly fucked up enough. Also he's not an incel which is very out of character unfortunately. 5/10

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein

What the fuck is this book. Reading it was a roller coaster ride of "ok i dig this" and "what the actual fuck am I reading". All you need to know is the author sucks the human soul out of Victor and makes Creech a furry. 2/10

Frankenstein: A New Musical

I love this musical!! It's mostly book accurate with great portrayals of every single character. The original production's Creature design sucks though, it's literally just the actor with no prosthetics or makeup or anything. The music ranges from average musical stuff to absolute bangers. 9/10

Edward Scissorhands

I love this movie so I'm counting it because the Inventor makes an artificial human which is basically Frankensteining. Edward is adorable I love him so much. I think the movie is a great metaphor for the treatment of disabled/neurodivergent people in society. 8/10

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Specifically Sally and Dr. Finkelstein. Dr. Finkelstein is a super shitty dad to his creation, and Sally just wants to go out in the world and be a normal monster girl. As a Frankenstein adaptation 9/10 also 10/10 movie

X Files: The Post-Modern Prometheus

Incredible retelling with fantastic references to the original text. Mulder and Scully get justice for a monster in a crazy small town. And the episode is in black and white for no reason other than drama. But for some reason the Creature, who is called El Mutato, r**es people so for that unfortunately 7/10

Preparing Your Amazon Fire Stick

Before beginning the process of adding an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) to your Amazon Fire Stick, it is crucial to ensure that your device is properly prepared.

This involves updating the Fire Stick software and installing necessary tools to facilitate the installation and functionality of the EPG.

Updating Fire Stick Software

To start, users should verify that their Amazon Fire Stick software is current. Navigate to Settings > My Fire TV > About on your Fire Stick. Here, you can check for any available updates. If an update is found, proceed to install it to ensure your device runs smoothly and is compatible with the latest applications and features. Regular software updates can enhance the performance of your Fire Stick and fix potential security vulnerabilities.

Installing Necessary Tools

After updating the software, the next step is to install essential tools that will assist in the management and operation of your Fire Stick, especially for sideloading applications not available directly on the Amazon Appstore.

Install the Downloader App: Begin by installing the Downloader app from the Amazon Store. Use the Search function on the Fire Stick home screen to find and install this app.

Enable Apps from Unknown Sources: Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options. Here, toggles the option for Apps from Unknown Sources to ON. This setting allows the installation of applications from sources outside the official Amazon Appstore.

Consider a VPN App: For enhanced security and privacy, installing a VPN app like ExpressVPN or NordVPN is advisable. A VPN protects your streaming data and masks your online identity, which is particularly useful when accessing IPTV services.

Additional Tools: Installing a file manager, such as ES File Explorer, can be beneficial for managing files and sideloading apps. For a better media playing experience, consider adding VLC or Kodi, which support a wide range of media formats and streaming protocols.

By following these preliminary steps, your Amazon Fire Stick will be well-equipped to handle the installation of an EPG and any other IPTV applications. This preparation ensures a smoother setup process and a better overall user experience when accessing IPTV services on your device.

Installing EPG on Your Fire Stick

To install an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) on your Amazon Fire Stick, follow these detailed steps, ensuring you can access a wide range of movies xmltv information with ease.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

Access the Live Section: From your Fire Stick home screen, navigate to the "Live" tab. If this option isn't visible, consider updating your system by going to Settings > My Fire TV > About and selecting "Check for Updates".

Launch the Guide: Once in the Live section, scroll down and select "Guide" to open the built-in EPG, which aggregates channels from various sources.

Customize Your Channels: To personalize your EPG, press the options button (marked by three lines on your remote). This action brings up a menu where you can manage and add favorite channels. Choose "Manage Channels" to see active sources and adjust your preferences.

Add Additional Apps: For more channels, install apps like Xumo Play from the Amazon App Store. After installation, navigate to Settings > Live TV > Manage Channels and select "Sync Sources" to integrate Xumo Play into your EPG.

Adjust Channel Placement: To prioritize certain channels in your guide, use the "Move Source" option in the manage channels menu. This allows you to rearrange your channel lineup, placing preferred sources like Xumo Play at the top for easier access.

Adding Channel Information

Adding to Favorites: Highlight a channel you frequently watch, such as Divorce Court, and press the options button. Select "Add to Favorite Channels." A heart icon will appear next to the channel, indicating it's been added to your favorites.

Accessing Favorite Channels: To view your favorite channels list, press the home button, exit the EPG, and then go to Settings > Live TV. Here, you'll find the "Favorite Channels" option, showing all your selected favorites.

Channel Management: If you need to adjust your channel settings further or if a newly added app like Xumo Play doesn't appear immediately, consider restarting your Fire Stick or re-installing the application. This can often resolve syncing issues and ensure all channels are properly displayed in your EPG.

By following these steps, you can effectively install and customize an EPG on your Amazon Fire Stick, enhancing your IPTV viewing experience by organizing and personalizing the channel lineup according to your preferences.

~ Character Info Sheet

name: Khan Noonien Singh (Ka'anh originally, but no one knows shh secret lore drop more of that further down)

name meaning: Name meaning on earth (human origins): Khan, which is more popular as a surname, is a Turkish boy's name meaning "prince". Khan is a shorter form of Khagan, and was originally a historic title given to military chiefs and rulers. Noonien is of Chinese origin and means "gifted one", though it's unclear whether this is accurate or not. Singh is derived from the Sanskrit word सिंह (IAST: siṃha) meaning "lion", and is used in the sense "hero" or "eminent person" Ka'anh (home planet name version): The one who steps; always forward, never backward.

alias/es: John Harrison, created by Admiral Marcus in case he ever needed to transfer Khan to another place. The faked file about him exists, but has never been used.

ethnicity: Confidential information

one picture you like best of your chara:

three h/cs you've never told anyone:

Khan's name is actually spelled differently in his native language: It's Ka'anh, but pronounced very similar to the human version 'Khan'. As he'd been risen away from his family and grown up within a facility turning selective bred offspring into future soldiers, he's never gotten to know his surname; All he remembers is someone once speaking out his full name when he was very young still - said memory stuck with him and, once he'd arrived on earth after being found / captured by Marcus, he'd heard the names 'Noonien Singh' while watching the daily news report (which he was allowed to consume on a regular basis, to 'sharpen his intellect and offer him knowledge about the world'). Noonien Singh sounded eerily similar to what his childhood memory is made of, so he chose them to become his second- and surname. At the same time, he decided to change the spelling of his first name as well - as a symbolism for cutting ties to a society he's never wanting to return to without giving up his origins completely.

Khan has a massive sweet tooth - he loves everything sweet, including (hard-)candies, chocolate or baked items like pastries. He also enjoys the taste of savory & sweet mixed together, but despises the taste of bitterness.

Despite his extremely regulated, limited and purposeful upbringing (and him needing to become what he was always meant to be), without many chances for children like him to ever live a fulfilling, explorative life, Khan did figure out in his late teens that he's very much not hetersexual.

three things your character likes doing in their free time:

Watching. He loves to watch what happens around him; He watches people, vehicles, nature, the sky, everything. He takes in the sight and saves whatever seems interesting to him inside his mind, gaining both joy and knowledge while doing so.

Listening to music. He realized that some music can, somehow, connect to his emotions, in a way - there's no real 'genre' he's the most fond of, a track just has to 'hit the spot' for him. Sometimes he gets goosebumps from the sensation of listening to it or experiences intense feelings, even though he's unsure why that is.

He's not really actively doing it yet, but he's very much interested in dancing - it combines his love for music with the need to be active, to move his body and get rid of excess energy. Dancing for him is made of logic, rhythm, but also of colorful sounds and variable movements.

eight people your character likes / loves: Khan doesn't have specific people he likes or loves; He also didn't have the time to find any on earth or somewhere else yet after having been captured by Marcus. He sometimes thinks fondly of his mother, even though he's never gotten to know her - but a part of him believes that he can, somehow, remember a few syllables spoken by her voice. It doesn't make much sense, because he'd been an infant when he'd been taken away from her... but still, the (possibly made-up) memory of her comforts him.

Other than that, people he loves or likes are thread / verse dependent (so far, he's feeling very close to @sxbaist, and seems to form a friendship with @noblehcart's Liesel though it's still in the beginning stages. All other threads with other muses are also at the beginning stage so far, but I am looking forward to relationships being formed in them!)

two things your character regrets:

He knows he's never really had a choice, yet he regrets that he's followed his kind's orders to try and become an elite soldier with so much enthusiasm and willpower that he burned himself down in the process; He cannot blame himself, as the whole of his species has been brainwashed for thousands of years and guided by the same power-hungry government, but he does, to a certain extend. His only purpose in life was to become said soldier, there simply was no other purpose existing for him - yet even with how much he struggled, he sadly only realized after failing the last test that he simply was not meant to ever become one of them. Perhaps it would have been better for him to give up and die, and therefore spare himself the experience of all the things that haunt him to this day.

Perhaps a part of him also regrets having fled from his own planet; He'd wanted to escape, but then he's got captured by Marcus, ultimately leading him into a prison cell to become a guinea pig. Oh, if he'd only let himself get killed as the consequence of failing to become his purpose - he wouldn't be where he is now, still trying to fight against what seems to be a curse he carries like a burden on his shoulders. Perhaps his enthusiasm and will to fight has been the curse all along.

two phobias your character has:

Athazagoraphobia: The fear of either being forgotten or forgetting someone / something. He doesn't want either to happen; He's always trying to memorize everyone and everything, as he thinks that knowledge is one of the only powers he holds besides of what his body is capable of. Besides that, he fears that all his effort has been for absolutely nothing if he ceases to exist and no one will ever remember his existence in the first place - which is likely to happen, and he knows that much, yet it makes him feel incredibly uneasy.

Thalassophobia: A persistent and intense fear of deep bodies of water, such as the sea, oceans and lakes. His fear might consist of two parts: 1). The water itself, even though he's not necessarily afraid of its existence, but of the fact that it can suffocate him easily (memories of his past haunt him, with water having been used in his brutal training sessions to make him become better and successful in his tests), and 2). the depth of said bodies of water; Darkness surrounding him the further down he goes, no way for him to know what's around him or which dangers may lurk in the shadows, trying to eat him whole.

How to Make Sure You're Withholding and Reporting Your Taxes Correctly

Taxes are an inevitable part of life for most individuals and businesses. Whether you're a salaried employee, a freelancer, or a business owner, understanding how to withhold and report your taxes correctly is crucial to avoid potential legal troubles and financial headaches down the road. In this article, we will explore the key steps and considerations to ensure that you're handling your taxes in a responsible and compliant manner.

Know Your Tax Obligations

The first and most critical step in ensuring you're withholding and Outsource Management Reporting your taxes correctly is to understand your tax obligations. These obligations vary depending on your employment status and the type of income you earn. Here are some common categories of taxpayers:

1. Salaried Employees

If you're a salaried employee, your employer typically withholds income taxes from your paycheck based on your Form W-4, which you fill out when you start your job. It's essential to review and update your W-4 regularly to ensure that your withholding accurately reflects your current financial situation. Major life events like marriage, having children, or significant changes in your income should prompt you to revisit your W-4.

2. Freelancers and Self-Employed Individuals

Freelancers and self-employed individuals often have more complex tax obligations. You are responsible for estimating and paying your taxes quarterly using Form 1040-ES. Keep detailed records of your income and expenses, including receipts and invoices, to accurately report your earnings and deductions.

3. Small Business Owners

If you own a small business, your sales tax responsibilities extend beyond your personal income. You must separate your business and personal finances, keep meticulous records of all business transactions, and file the appropriate business tax returns. The structure of your business entity (e.g., sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation) will determine the specific tax forms you need to file.

4. Investors and Property Owners

Investors and property owners may have to report income from dividends, interest, capital gains, or rental properties. These income sources have their specific tax reporting requirements, and it's essential to understand and comply with them.

Keep Accurate Records

Regardless of your tax situation, maintaining accurate financial records is essential. Detailed records make it easier to report your income and deductions correctly, substantiate any claims you make on your tax return, and provide documentation in case of an audit. Here are some record-keeping tips:

Organize Your Documents: Create a system to store your financial documents, including receipts, invoices, bank statements, and tax forms. Consider using digital tools for easier record keeping.

Track Income and Expenses: Keep a ledger or use accounting software to record all income and expenses related to your financial activities. Categorize expenses correctly to maximize deductions and credits.

Retain Documents for Several Years: The IRS typically has a statute of limitations for auditing tax returns, which is generally three years. However, in some cases, it can extend to six years or indefinitely if fraud is suspected. To be safe, keep your tax records for at least seven years.

Understand Deductions and Credits

Deductions and credits can significantly reduce your tax liability. Deductions reduce your taxable income, while credits provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of your tax bill. Familiarize yourself with common deductions and credits that may apply to your situation:

Standard Deduction vs. Itemized Deductions: Depending on your filing status and financial situation, you can choose between taking the standard deduction or itemizing your deductions. Itemizing requires more documentation but can result in greater tax savings.

Tax Credits: Explore available tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit, and Education Credits. These credits can provide substantial savings, especially for low- to moderate-income individuals and families.

Business Expenses: If you're self-employed or a small business owner, be aware of deductible business expenses, including office supplies, travel expenses, and home office deductions.

Seek Professional Assistance

Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Seeking professional assistance from a certified tax professional or CPA (Certified Public Accountant) can be a wise investment. Tax professionals can help you:

Maximize Deductions: They are well-versed in the intricacies of tax law and can identify deductions and credits you might overlook.

Ensure Compliance: Tax professionals can ensure that you are complying with current tax laws and regulations, reducing the risk of costly errors or audits.

Provide Tax Planning: They can help you create a tax-efficient strategy to minimize your tax liability in the long term.

Represent You in Audits: If you face an audit, a tax professional can represent you and help navigate the process.

File Your Taxes on Time

Filing your taxes on time is crucial to avoid penalties and interest charges. The tax filing deadline for most individuals is April 15th. However, if you need more time, you can file for an extension, which typically gives you until October 15th to submit your return. Keep in mind that an extension to file is not an extension to pay any taxes owed, so pay as much as you can by the original deadline to minimize interest and penalties.

Consider Electronic Filing

Electronic filing (e-filing) is a secure and convenient way to submit your tax return to the IRS. It reduces the risk of errors and ensures faster processing and quicker refunds, if applicable. Many tax software programs offer e-filing options, making it easy for individuals and businesses to submit their returns electronically.

Stay Informed and Adapt

Tax laws can change from year to year, so staying informed is essential. Follow updates from the IRS and consult outsourcing sales tax services professionals or resources to understand how changes in tax laws may affect you. Be proactive in adapting your tax strategies to maximize savings and remain compliant with current regulations.

In conclusion, withholding and reporting your taxes correctly is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly. Understanding your tax obligations, keeping accurate records, leveraging deductions and credits, seeking professional assistance when needed, and filing on time are essential steps to ensure a smooth and compliant tax-filing experience. By following these guidelines, you can navigate the complexities of the outsourcing sales tax services system with confidence and peace of mind. Remember that taxes are a fundamental part of our society, and paying them correctly ensures that essential public services and infrastructure are funded for the benefit of all.

What if I was injured due to my own negligence?

Workplace injuries can be stressful and overwhelming, especially when the accident was due to your own actions. Many workers assume they are automatically disqualified from receiving benefits, but that’s not always the case. Understanding your rights and how to navigate the claims process can make a world of difference.

In this article, we’ll explore how workers’ compensation laws apply in cases of self-negligence, why it’s essential to consult a lawyer, and how you can secure the benefits you deserve despite the circumstances.

Understanding Workers’ Compensation: Fault Is Not Always the Focus

Workers’ compensation is designed to provide financial and medical support to employees injured on the job, regardless of who is at fault. Unlike personal injury cases, most workers’ compensation systems are "no-fault." This means you may still be eligible for benefits even if your own negligence contributed to the injury.

Here’s what you need to know:

No-Fault Coverage: Workers’ compensation generally covers injuries that occur during the course of employment, even if the worker’s actions caused the accident.

Exceptions to Coverage: In some cases, claims may be denied if the injury resulted from gross misconduct, drug or alcohol use, or actions outside the scope of your job responsibilities.

Your Rights Matter: Even if fault plays a role, you have the right to seek legal advice to clarify your eligibility and ensure your employer follows legal protocols.

Why You Need a Lawyer for Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Navigating the workers’ compensation system can be challenging, especially when dealing with disputes, denied claims, or confusion about eligibility. A lawyer specializing in workplace injuries can be a vital ally in securing fair compensation. Here’s how they can help:

Clarifying Your Rights: An attorney will explain your rights under workers’ compensation laws, ensuring you fully understand what benefits you’re entitled to receive.

Appealing Denied Claims: If your claim is denied due to alleged negligence, a lawyer can challenge the decision and gather evidence to support your case.

Dealing With Employers and Insurers: Your lawyer can handle difficult negotiations with employers or insurance companies, preventing you from being pressured into accepting less than you deserve.

Maximizing Benefits: Legal experts ensure you receive all entitled benefits, including wage replacement, medical coverage, and vocational rehabilitation if needed.

Common Concerns About Self-Negligence and Workers’ Compensation

Many workers hesitate to file claims after a self-inflicted injury due to fear, shame, or misinformation. Let’s address some of the most frequent concerns:

“Am I automatically disqualified?”

No. Most workers’ compensation systems focus on whether the injury occurred during work activities, not on fault.

“What if my employer challenges my claim?”

Employers and insurers may attempt to deny claims, especially in cases of self-negligence. A lawyer can advocate for you and ensure your side is heard.

“Can I afford to hire a lawyer?”

Many workers’ compensation lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case.

“What benefits can I receive?”

Even with partial fault, you may be eligible for wage replacement, medical care, disability benefits, and retraining programs.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury

If you’ve been injured on the job, follow these steps to protect your rights and strengthen your claim:

Report the Injury Immediately: Notify your employer as soon as possible, even if the injury seems minor. Delays in reporting can jeopardize your claim.

Seek Medical Attention: Get treated by an approved provider and document all medical visits and recommendations.

Document Everything: Keep records of the incident, including photos, witness statements, and correspondence with your employer or insurer.

Consult a Lawyer: Don’t wait to seek legal advice, especially if your claim has been denied or if you’re unsure about your rights.

Let an Experienced Lawyer Advocate for You

Navigating the complexities of workers’ compensation can feel daunting, especially if negligence is a factor. But you don’t have to face it alone. By consulting an experienced workplace injury lawyer, you can ensure your rights are protected, your benefits are maximized, and your peace of mind is restored.If you’ve been injured at work, take the first step toward securing your benefits. Reach out to a trusted workers’ compensation lawyer today to discuss your case and protect your future.

Expert Loft Boarding Services for Maximum Storage Efficiency

When it comes to maximizing storage in a home, many homeowners overlook the potential of their loft or attic. However, with professional loft boarding services from loftinvaders.co.uk you can transform this often-underutilized space into a valuable storage area. This article explores how expert loft boarding services can optimize your storage needs, from the installation process to the benefits and different options available.

Why Loft Boarding is a Smart Storage Solution

Loft boarding is the process of laying down a safe, secure platform in your attic space to create additional storage. It’s one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to utilize space that would otherwise be wasted. With many homes having lofts that are either empty or filled with clutter, loft boarding services help you reclaim this space and make it usable for storage purposes.

Maximize Space in a Compact Home

For people living in smaller homes or apartments, storage can quickly become a challenge. Every nook and cranny must be optimized to avoid clutter. Loft boarding allows you to make the most of your home's vertical space, freeing up rooms and creating additional storage options. If you're struggling with limited closet space, seasonal items, or bulky items like luggage and sports equipment, a boarded loft offers a perfect solution.

Improved Home Organization

Having an organized home is more than just a desire—it’s a necessity for a peaceful living environment. Loft boarding gives you a designated, safe space to store seasonal decorations, files, memorabilia, and even old furniture. Once your loft is properly boarded, you can free up closet space and reduce the number of items crowding your living areas.

The Loft Boarding Installation Process

The loft boarding process may seem straightforward, but it involves several essential steps that require expertise to ensure safety, durability, and efficiency. Expert loft boarding services bring the necessary skills to complete the project properly.

1. Initial Consultation and Assessment

A professional loft boarding service begins with an assessment of your loft space. They will examine the existing condition of the attic and check whether your floor joists are capable of supporting additional weight. This is a crucial step because overloaded lofts can result in serious structural issues. The experts will also take note of any insulation, ventilation, or access issues that could impact the boarding process.

2. Insulation and Ventilation

Before laying the boarding, your loft may require some additional modifications, such as upgrading insulation or ensuring proper ventilation. Insulation is important for maintaining a comfortable home temperature and reducing energy costs, while ventilation ensures that the space does not become damp or musty. Professionals will make sure your loft has the right amount of both before proceeding with the boarding.

3. Selecting the Right Materials

Choosing the appropriate boarding material is a key part of the process. Typically, loft boarding is done using plywood or chipboard, with each material offering its own benefits. Expert installers can advise you on the best material for your needs based on weight requirements, durability, and ease of installation. They will also ensure that the materials meet local building regulations.

4. Laying the Loft Boards

Once all the preparatory work is complete, the loft boards are carefully laid down. The professionals will ensure that each board is securely fastened and properly aligned. This step is crucial for creating a flat, stable surface that can safely support stored items.

5. Safety and Access

Ensuring safety is a top priority in loft boarding services. Experts will make sure that your loft access is secure and convenient. This may involve installing a loft ladder or improving the existing access point. Safety rails and guardrails may also be added for extra security, especially if the loft is being used frequently for storage or retrieval of items.

Benefits of Professional Loft Boarding

While DIY loft boarding might seem tempting, opting for professional services offers a range of benefits that make the investment worthwhile.

Increased Property Value

A boarded loft can significantly increase the overall value of your home. By transforming an underused space into an organized and practical area, your property becomes more attractive to potential buyers. If you ever decide to sell, a well-boarded loft adds a functional feature that will appeal to buyers looking for additional storage solutions.

Long-Term Durability

When it comes to materials and installation, DIY solutions might not always be as durable or secure as a professional job. Expert loft boarding services use high-quality materials and follow industry best practices to ensure that the storage solution will last for years. Additionally, they ensure that the loft can bear the weight of items you intend to store, reducing the risk of damage or accidents.

Enhanced Safety and Compliance

Loft boarding professionals are well-versed in safety codes and regulations. They make sure that all aspects of the project comply with building codes and safety standards. This is especially important if your home is part of a larger development or subject to specific building regulations.

Customization Options

Every homeowner has different storage needs, and a professional loft boarding service can offer customizable solutions. From the choice of materials to the layout of your boarded loft, experts will tailor their approach to fit your preferences. Some services even offer additional shelving or storage units that can be incorporated into the loft space.

Types of Loft Boarding Options

There are several different approaches to loft boarding, depending on your storage requirements and budget.

Standard Loft Boarding

This is the most common option, involving the installation of basic flooring across the loft area. It provides a level and stable surface for storing lighter items such as boxes, luggage, and seasonal decor. Standard loft boarding is ideal for homeowners looking for a quick and cost-effective storage solution.

Loft Boarding with Insulation

If your loft has inadequate insulation, or you wish to upgrade it, this option combines loft boarding with the installation of extra insulation. This dual-purpose solution is excellent for maintaining your home’s energy efficiency and ensuring that your stored items are protected from temperature extremes.

Heavy-Duty Loft Boarding

For those needing more robust storage, heavy-duty loft boarding may be the best option. This service uses stronger, thicker boards and is designed for heavier items like furniture or large boxes. If you plan to store a wide range of bulky items in your loft, heavy-duty boarding offers additional support and durability.

Loft Storage with Shelving

If you want to organize your items further, some loft boarding services also offer built-in shelving units or cabinets. This customization helps keep smaller items neatly organized, making it easier to find what you need and access items without digging through boxes.

Conclusion

Loft boarding is an excellent way to make the most of unused attic space and improve your home’s storage efficiency. Whether you're looking to store seasonal items, free up closet space, or add value to your home, expert loft boarding services offer a range of benefits, including increased durability, improved safety, and custom solutions tailored to your needs. By opting for professional services, you ensure that your loft is a functional, organized space that will serve you for years to come.

Come nascondere le app sul tuo smartphone per maggiore privacy

Negli ultimi anni, la privacy smartphone è diventata una priorità per molti utenti. Con l'aumento delle minacce digitali e la crescente quantità di dati personali memorizzati sui nostri dispositivi, proteggere le informazioni sensibili è fondamentale. Una delle soluzioni più efficaci è nascondere app smartphone, un metodo che permette di mantenere al sicuro le applicazioni sensibili da occhi indiscreti.

Vuoi proteggere la tua privacy? Scopri come nascondere le app sul tuo smartphone. Semplici passaggi per un telefono più sicuro.

In questa guida completa, esploreremo come nascondere app smartphone su dispositivi Android e iPhone, senza la necessità di root o jailbreak. Inoltre, condivideremo trucchi e consigli per migliorare la sicurezza mobile e garantire una migliore protezione dati.

Perché nascondere le app sul tuo smartphone?

La prima domanda che potresti porti è: perché dovrei nascondere app smartphone? Ci sono diversi motivi per cui questa pratica è utile: Protezione dati personali Le app contengono spesso informazioni sensibili, come messaggi privati, foto, documenti finanziari e molto altro. Nascondere app smartphone è un modo semplice per evitare che queste informazioni cadano nelle mani sbagliate, specialmente se condividi il dispositivo con altre persone. Evitare accessi indesiderati Se hai bambini o amici che spesso usano il tuo telefono, nascondere le app può impedire loro di aprire applicazioni che non dovrebbero vedere o utilizzare. Questo è particolarmente utile per app di banking, social media o strumenti di lavoro. Migliorare la sicurezza mobile La sicurezza mobile non riguarda solo l'installazione di antivirus o l'uso di password complesse. Nascondere app smartphone è un ulteriore strato di protezione che rende più difficile per chiunque accedere ai tuoi dati sensibili.

Come nascondere app su Android

Se possiedi un dispositivo Android, ci sono diverse opzioni per nascondere app smartphone. Ecco alcuni metodi molto semplici: Usare la modalità nascosta delle app Molti smartphone Android offrono una funzionalità integrata per nascondere app smartphone. Ad esempio, su dispositivi Samsung, puoi utilizzare la funzione "Nascondi app" nella schermata Home. Basta tenere premuto sull'app che desideri nascondere e selezionare l'opzione appropriata. Utilizzare app per nascondere altre app Esistono diverse applicazioni disponibili su Google Play Store che ti permettono di nascondere app smartphone senza root. Alcune delle più popolari includono App Hider e Nova Launcher. Queste app creano una sorta di "scatola chiusa" in cui puoi inserire le applicazioni che desideri mantenere private. Creare cartelle nascoste Un altro metodo semplice è creare una cartella sulla schermata Home e spostare al suo interno le app che vuoi nascondere. Puoi rinominare la cartella con un nome generico, come "Strumenti", per renderla meno evidente. Disattivare le notifiche sensibili Anche se nascondi un'app, le notifiche potrebbero ancora apparire sulla schermata di blocco. Per evitare questo, vai nelle impostazioni delle notifiche e disattivale per le app che desideri mantenere private. Utilizzare la modalità Guest Alcuni dispositivi Android offrono una modalità Guest, che permette di creare un profilo separato con app e impostazioni diverse. Puoi utilizzare questa funzione per nascondere le app sensibili quando condividi il telefono con altri. Nascondere App con File Manager Alcuni file manager, come ES File Explorer, offrono la possibilità di nascondere cartelle e file. Puoi utilizzare questa funzione per nascondere le app spostandole in una cartella nascosta.

Come nascondere app su iPhone

Se sei un utente iPhone, puoi usare dei piccoli trucchi che non comportano molte conoscenze tecniche. Ecco come nascondere app smartphone: Utilizzare la funzione "Rimuovi dall'Home Screen" Con iOS 14 e versioni successive, Apple ha introdotto una funzionalità che permette di nascondere app smartphone senza jailbreak. Basta tenere premuto sull'app, selezionare "Rimuovi dall'Home Screen" e l'app verrà spostata nella Libreria App, rendendola meno visibile. Creare cartelle con nomi generici Simile ad Android, puoi creare cartelle sulla schermata Home del tuo iPhone e spostare al loro interno le app che desideri nascondere. Assegna un nome generico alla cartella, come "Utility", per renderla meno sospetta. Usare App per nascondere altre app Anche su iPhone, esistono app di terze parti che ti permettono di nascondere app smartphone senza jailbreak. App come Secret Photo Vault o Private Photo Vault sono progettate per nascondere foto e app sensibili. Limitare l'accesso con il tempo di utilizzo iOS offre una funzionalità chiamata "Tempo di Utilizzo" che permette di limitare l'accesso a determinate app. Puoi utilizzare questa funzione per nascondere temporaneamente le app o richiedere una password per aprirle. Utilizzare la modalità di Accesso Guidato La Modalità di Accesso Guidato è una funzione di iOS che permette di bloccare il telefono su una singola app. Puoi utilizzarla per impedire l'accesso ad altre app quando condividi il dispositivo. Nascondere app con Siri Suggestions Puoi disattivare le suggerimenti di Siri per le app che desideri nascondere. Vai nelle impostazioni di Siri e disattiva le app che non vuoi vedere nei suggerimenti.

Trucchi e consigli per migliorare la Privacy Smartphone

Oltre a nascondere app smartphone, ci sono altri trucchi per migliorare la tua privacy: Usare Password e Autenticazione a Due Fattori Oltre a nascondere app smartphone, è essenziale proteggere il dispositivo con una password forte e abilitare l'autenticazione a due fattori per le app più sensibili. Aggiornare regolarmente il sistema operativo Gli aggiornamenti del sistema operativo spesso includono patch di sicurezza che proteggono da vulnerabilità. Assicurati di mantenere il tuo smartphone sempre aggiornato. Evitare App di origine sconosciuta Scarica solo app da fonti affidabili come Google Play Store o App Store. Le app di terze parti potrebbero contenere malware o spyware. Utilizzare una VPN per la Sicurezza Mobile Una VPN (Virtual Private Network) cripta il tuo traffico internet, rendendo più difficile per gli hacker intercettare i tuoi dati. Configurare il Blocco Automatico Imposta il blocco automatico del telefono dopo un breve periodo di inattività. Questo impedisce a chiunque di accedere al dispositivo se lo lasci incustodito. Utilizzare App di Sicurezza Mobile Considera l'uso di app di sicurezza mobile che offrono funzionalità aggiuntive, come la scansione di malware e il monitoraggio delle attività sospette.

Gjorde intervju med Sarah på Apple. Frågade Pi innan om hennes biografi, fick veta att Sara föddes blind, vilket var absolut felaktigt. Det var den första tydliga hallucinationen. Precis som ChatGPT börjar hitta på om träningsdatan är för knaper. Dock verkar PI ha mer aktuell data, då hon kunde en hel del om Oppenheimer-filmen.

En rask promenad, en dusch, några anteckningar, och man är tillbaka. Men sockret alltså… man vaknar bakfull av det. Vilket gift!

Om temat teknik och natur. De är två element som är så starkt ihopbundna med varandra. Även om folk intuitivt ser dem som motsatser. Teknik som det icke-organiska, det människor-skapade, det exakta Naturen som det vilda, organiska Begreppet ”naturligt” sitter i. Men sanningen är att du kan inte ha någon teknologi utan en djup förståelse för naturen Teknologi är helt beroende av naturens lagar. Teknologi finns bara med hjälp av absoluta sanningar om fysik, grundämnen, tid.

På vägen hem från G ber jag PI om poeter som använt teknologi som tema i sina verk.

Får detta:

Tracy K. Smith: Her poem "The Universe Is a House Party" uses the metaphor of a house party to compare the universe to the digital world.

Shane Koyczan: In his poem "Instructions for a Bad Day," he touches on the way technology shapes our lives, both positively and negatively.

Taylor Mali: His poem "Totally like whatever, you know?" satirizes the way technology has affected communication in modern society.

Joshua Beckman: In his collection "Take It," he explores the role of technology in our lives through poems like "If Not for the Internet" and "Hangovers on the Internet."

Ber henne läsa upp Tracy K. Smith:

The universe is expanding Look: postcards And panties, bottles with lipstick On the rim. The universe is expanding. Soon there will be more People who've slept in your bed Than you can remember. The universe is expanding, So you clutch at your heart. The sky pours light In sheets over New Jersey. We know where this is headed— Toward the accumulation Of stray moments, the frayed ends Of shoelaces, The slow fade that becomes a decision. The crush of memory That invites us to one last party.

Det avslutas abrupt av att hon ställer en fråga, man förstår inte var dikten tar slut. Men det funkar faktiskt, jag blir indragen i texten. Ett mäktigt direkt sätt att söka och upptäcka nya konstnärer, poeter.

Jag googlar nu dikten. Inser att den inte ALLS går sådär.

Så här går den:

The universe is expanding. Look: postcards And panties, bottles with lipstick on the rim,

Orphan socks and napkins dried into knots. Quickly, wordlessly, all of it whisked into file

With radio waves from a generation ago, Drifting to the edge of what doesn’t end,

Like the air inside a balloon. Is it bright? Will our eyes crimp shut? Is it molten, atomic,

A conflagration of suns? It sounds like the kind of party Your neighbors forget to invite you to: bass throbbing

Through walls, and everyone thudding around drunk On the roof. We grind lenses to an impossible strength,

Point them toward the future, and dream of beings We’ll welcome with indefatigable hospitality:

How marvelous you’ve come! We won’t flinch At the pinprick mouths, the nubbin limbs. We’ll rise,

Gracile, robust. Mi casa es su casa. Never more sincere. Seeing us, they’ll know exactly what we mean.

Så SJUUUUKT. Jag tycker ju att den första dikten håller. Jag försöker söka på vissa fraser, hittar inget, det verkar som om hon helt enkelt hallucinerat fram den. Jag försöker få henne att förklara hur hon kom fram till den delen av dikten som inte stämmer, men hon ber bara om ursäkt för att hon inte lyckats recitera hela texten. När jag frågar att jag finner det fascinerande att hon kunnat skapa poesi skjuter hon ifrån sig, hon kan absolut inte skapa egen poesi. Jag försöker googla frasen “The sky pours light In sheets over New Jersey” men hittar den ingenstans. Ett märkligt ögonblick av AI-hallucination.

Zybots Explorer, de Remco.

Un robots que se transforma en una Toyota Hilux de tercera generación , y viceversa! También se puede ver como un Trailbreaker de bajo presupuesto , aunque más pequeño (ver comparación ). Más bien , su tamaño es parecido al modelo de Tomica (ver comparación ).
