#cli analysis

[ultraviolet-cello]

Gooooood morning Trigun fandom, I'm up bright and early, ready to sink my teeth into today's analysis/detailed watchthrough episode - 11. To A New World.

I can't believe we're almost done with @tristampparty. These 12 days have been a blast and I'm very glad that I got to chat abt them!! I've been in a bout of artblock recently too, so I'm glad that I can just ramble instead!

Spoilers for Trigun Stampede and Trigun Maximum, and CWs for. okay this one is a Lot, but discussion of violation of bodily autonomy, sexual assault and trauma, pregnancy, transphobia, harm coming to children, Millions Knives in general, Vash's passive suicidal tendencies. If I think of any more I'll pop them up here but this episode is a heavy one!

If you wanna skip those first few CWs (Totally understandable <3), you can skip the paragraphs labelled with a [CW] at the front.

[CW] Okay so we're gonna tail off the end of Episode 10 for a second, but uh. Knives in this scene is using extremely Loaded Language to outright tell Vash that there is something wrong with him that needs to be fixed.

Just to be clear I do think Vash is very trans-coded (intentionally or not), and that very strongly influences how I interpret this scene - I myself am a trans man as well.

Cool, moving on! That's all really for the end of ep 10, I just needed to point out that Knives is using language that is commonly used to justify corrective sexual assault; which is pretty much what my reading of this scene is analogous to.

what in the fresh hell i got jumpscared by dub again. returning to subs hold on a moment. Like i've been checking dub occasionally to match up some dialogue and make sure I'm not being misled by Subtitle Jank but I'm one of those guys who can't listen to anything without subtitles lmao

But i also think i do get the funniest possible translation of this line - actually wait no i hate the double meaning (with Vash's body being used to kickstart the pregnancy imagery). was that intentional. who did this.

Anyway Meryl kicking Wolfwood is really funny but also like. Yeah. justified. She's having a no good awful time but like. She's so willing to believe in Vash, to chase after him even into Extremely Dangerous conditions (There's those hints of Trimax Meryl again....) and Wolfwood is being an ass here. (An understandable ass. But an ass nonetheless). Which is to say YEAHHH MERYL GET HIS ASS!!!

Knives' gay little like. bodysuit here. He and Vash have the same build but their respective clothes make them stand out very differently. Also that Knives' stuff seems to have more muscle definition (HYDRATE. You shouldn't have that Knives you need water :pensive:) which could be building towards his more intimidating appearance.

Also I'd be a fool to not show everyone my initial reaction to this

I've talked a little bit about how Vash uses his gun as a tonfa (thwacky baton) most of the time in melee combat, and I think that's a great way to show him utilizing something Knives gave him to Kill as a nonlethal weapon - in this, however, he doesn't have it and his normally very fluid very good form martial arts is flailing and panicked. Vash is pretty good at keeping his cool in most combat situations, and is a very skilled fighter. Seeing him lose that cool and just start struggling when Knives tries to grab him is :(

Once again the metal/organic dichotomy is coming into play - the creation of inorganic but the destruction that comes from the organic. Typically plant (as in flora) powers in media lend themselves to being creation powers, life, and healing. But Vash here has that plant (flora) theme but those are very much a force for destruction.

Also Knives with the angelic white, and Vash with the black.

I hate Conrad So Much (he's such a good character). Like we Know to some extent that dependent plants are self-aware enough to feel pain, to hold onto memories, to hatred, to love. They don't have consciousness the same way humans or Independents do, but they feel, they live, they understand what Vash tells them. Maybe it is a shallow form of themselves. But I think something a lot of people fail to realize is that (some, not all, because they are individuals even throughout a hivemind) plants appear to enjoy their purpose.

Once again the memory that is shared with Knives in Trimax of a woman and her child thanking the plant for her service and she smiles? After being fused, that plant held onto that memory. I've been given no reason to believe that plants in Tristamp are different, so Conrad is just,,, ignoring the subtleties of plants and taking away their agency to choose for themselves. Doubly so for Knives, who can communicate efficiently with them.

A very quick blink and you'll miss it detail is that Vash says "It was our fault humans crashed here!". The shifting blame and guilt between the two is something that is fighting the narrative allll the time, but Vash attributing to both of them as an appeal to Knives is interesting to relay how he feels.

I also don't think Vash is right, though, when he says the only reason humans abuse plants is because they crashed. Tesla was before, Chronica in Trimax has apparently seen independent fusions before (For what reason?). Like yeah to this extent it's a result of the big fall, but there'd still be problems without it. Nobody is right in this argument lmao

(except me. I'm always correct about everything ever)

[CW] Once again - violating Vash's consent and autonomy because he does not agree with or differs from Knives. Corrective violation, in this case. It's also important that it's Meryl who calls this out - she has to really really struggle for her autonomy to be important. She's small, carry-able, inexperienced, doesn't have any special powers or genetic modification. She's carrying a tiny gun from a man who can never back her up anymore. In fact, nobody is backing her up! She's out here alone! But she's sticking up for Vash. She cares about him,,,, so much

SURPRISE ROBERTO ATTACK [sobs]

Meryl pulled the nail out of him and placed his hands gently over the wound, as one might do in a casket. A memorial of cigarettes and his flask. All this will be destroyed soon, but Meryl did give him a funeral to the best of her ability.

Knives using Roberto's image is cruel as hell. Not to Vash but to ME. He's already dead you can't do this to meeee. "How do you think they'll react when they learn you caused the big fall" He will never learn it!! he never got the chance!!!

So fun fact you can actually eat geraniums. It's just that if Rem had said yes Vash probably would have eaten it right there and then. I've made that mistake before (told one of my class that nasturtiums were edible and he just ate one. right from the plant)

So; the Tesla scene. Something I do want to point out is that Rem finds them almost immediately, and Knives doesn't immediately pass out - Is he still catatonic enough to miss Rem's speech, or did he hear it? Because the reason that Vash turned out like he did is because he was awake to go through that with Rem - Knives was unconscious the entire time and didn't get to start that trauma recovery.

It's also important to recognize that these memories could be unreliable, especially as Knives tampers with them later.

I do want to know which version of the Bible Knives was reading. Because depending on translation/version, you can get Very different ideas out of that.

Anyway Knives is kind of beginning his spiral in that memory - "Humanity never learns" kinda shit, which seems to take place after Tesla. Who knows how long. But baby Vash calls that out and goes "yeah lets have faith"! Baby Knives looks a tad shocked and then Present Knives just. Cuts off the memory. What was the ensuing conversation!!! Hello???

Like he's clearly Having Thoughts (The Horror), we just don't get to know what those were.

So remember when I said it was interesting that Vash said it was "our" fault that the ships crashed, sharing the blame?

Yeah that gave Knives some ammo that just. Broke him. Shifts it allllll to Vash. Update Vash's description to running on 18 guilt complexes, CPTSD, and bisexuality.

[CW] There's so many different forms of assault, metaphorical and. Not. That is happening in this scene from mind violation to Knives literally using Vash's (specifically Vash's) body as a vessel to impregnate other plants which. Hey did you know that pregnancy is a massive fear of a lot of trans men. So many transphobes reduce trans men to their capability to have children, as if that's all they're good for (even if it would kill them.), and that often leads to corrective rape in order to "remind them of biological reality". In this case, Vash is a plant, he's meant to create, and yet he doesn't. But he's still being used to create anyway.

Again, Meryl also directly calls out Vash's lack of consent and gets shot down by Conrad. The whole scene is just. Hgnrhgnhrhnrnrn. It's So,,, everything to me, because it's a really good scene and shows you how far gone Knives is in Tristamp.

There are panels in Trimax that are,,, the imagery is there, but it's very overt in Tristamp.

Also hey yeah. Why is Conrad still alive?? Did he have access to cold sleep? or it's probably the robotics but did he not think of enhancing humans that way? It might just be a temporary solution, I guess, given that he is. Actively coughing up blood.

Alright! I have finished this part of the analysis that I always Feel Strongly about lmao - I have fun doing it but that's such an emotionally heavy episode.

Part 2 of a Computer Science student's analysis of the FNAF: SB intro

Full with tech lingo, abundant personal interpretations, and translations so that my tech illiterate fellas may undertand whatever the fuck im yapping about!

This post is written under the context that you've read my last analysis. I highly recommend you first check out these two posts before continuing with this one if you haven't already: > First post + Continuation ( IMPORTANT!! ) > An addition to the first post

Once you've read through those two (three?) posts, come back here! You're back? You've read them? Awesome! Let's begin then. =)

Reminder! This analysis has been done based off of my own understanding of the subject of both computing and programming - which I am currently studying. I would also like to yet again shout out this reddit post, that also gives a great perspective. Definitely check it out if you're interested later!

Also I have not re-read this, you may find typos - don't hold it against me, they will be fixed, someday =(

Now then, fellas, this is where shit gets wild.

Last post, I talked about the command box we can see at the top right corner of the intro - what each command did and how it basically corresponded to what happens to freddy in the events of the intro.

However, you might recall I mentioned a second command box, the one found at the left side of the screen. This command box is by far the most important piece of information we have throughout the entire duration of the intro. Mostly, because it changes 3 times.

It changes a total of 3 times in the time it takes for the right command box to finish.

Each time it changes, it displays new lines of code. And every single line of code it displays, tells us a lot about what is happening to Freddy.

This is the first block of code that we get:

system32> Get-568_win heat_869%yTnu_bl8 lvl_b> 228.wst serial.dot_btb rec.556> dtd /

You might inmediately realize that the first line of code from this command box matches exactly the one from the first analysis. Here are both of them as comparison.

Hopefully, you've already made the connection. This command box is the one possibly being run by the Glitchtrap/Vanny Virus. Whatever lines of code appear on the command box to the left, are the ones being executed by the Virus - and they affect Freddy in real time. However, the command box on the right ir Freddy's, so to speak.

Both CLI (command line interfaces) are being run at the same time - yet independently of one another. Keep this in mind.

I don't want to go too in depth with this first block of code. All you need to know is that it moves around some directories and runs something called 'dtd', wich could be a command or a program.

The next two blocks of code, however? Ohhh damn... This is it, fellas. This is what I've been waiting for.

Now, I want you to know that this doesn't quite resemble any 'real' code, at least not at first glance. I do believe that it is a very 'condensed' form of the Python programming language, since the syntaxing of the commands shown here somewhat resemble how a string written in Python would look like.

So, I have taken the time to try to decipher what each line means, and what they do. And well, let's just say it explains why Freddy wasn't affected by the Virus in the first place.

def rule(x) return warning78 init; self_overdrive abort(3)RTLKt abort(5)XGE END

This is the second block of code that we're shown, so lets break it down.

def rule(x) return warning78 init;

This string would define "rule" as a function, specifying "x" as the parameter. Basically, this line specifies that if the command rule is inputted, it should return whatever value (or argument) x has taken.

Normally, define is followed by a return function, which is why I've shown them together, as well as the init; command.

The command return followed by "warning78", makes it so whenever we call upon the function rule, it shows us whatever warning78 may be - and judging as to what happens in the intro, it could be any of the multiple warnings that appear in Freddy's GUI. Or it could also easily be the big "WARNING!" message that can be seen the entire time near the top of the screen.

Lastly, the init; command isn't exactly a standardized python command - but it is a common abreviation of the initialization command, where in the field of programming, it means "the assignment of an initial value for a data object or variable". Basically, it's when you assign the initial values and variables to a program so it can start.

All in all, these three lines create a command that, when called upon, gives out the warning78.

self_overdrive

Again, not really a python function, but important nontheless. This command doesn't have a specific meaning, but we can try to understand what it does.

The term overdrive doesn't really exist in the field of computing/programming. However, it is asociated with overclocking - "the practice of increasing the clock rate of a computer to exceed that certified by the manufacturer" - Overdrive is also a term in the field of music, also known as distorsion, which is when you force an amplifier to output past its limits.

Both of these definitions go around the same concept, pushing a computer to its limits so that it works better, or faster - even while it possibly damages the computer.

We can then assume that the function self_overdrive is making Freddy's system run pasts its usual limits. Which is why I believe Freddy's integrity level plumits during the intro.

abort(3)RTLKt abort(5)XGE END

Lastly, we have these three lines.

The abort function isn't a real python function - but I believe you can asume what it does. Both lines are attempting to kill something - a program, a process, another function... However, I am not sure wether these two are really functions, since they could very easily be error handling messages. Essencially, warning messages that the system returns when something crashes, for example.

The last line, END, specifies the end of this string of code.

Which leads us to the third and last block of code. The one which in my professional opinion, is the one that reveals to us why Freddy's cool with us during Security Breach! =]

report.NULL gridlock [ax674] init_task>void alloc [overload] SW.failure return /

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, FRIENDS. THIS IS IT. This is the part where I had the most fun with this analysis...

report.NULL

Now, usually report, in the field of programming and software, it means to record or log something. For example an error log, or crash log. However, it being followed by NULL could also mean that this is an error handling message of sorts.

In computing, Null is, well, zero. It's nothing. It's the absence of value, when something that should be there, isn't.

From this, we could gather that this is a warning message that attempted to report something, yet failed to find anything to report back. No value at all.

...or, we could take this line literally. Taking into consideration that this code is being executed by the virus - this line of code could be taken as an attempt by the virus to stop Freddy's system from freaking out.

Remember that this entire code is being executed as Freddy's actively getting a big flashing WARNING! message. So, this line of code could be an effort to silence it, returning a null value to a warning message.

Both scenarios are plausible, so stick with the one you think fits best!

gridlock [ax674]

This one... man... this line was wild. It's where everything clicked for me. You will want to ignore the characters [ax674], what we truly care about is the first word: gridlock.

You see, a gridlock isn't really a term used in computing at all. It is a term refering to a "severe congestion of traffic, where continuous queues of vehicles block an entire intersection". HOWEVER, gridlock is also known as another term for deadlock.

A deadlock is what's known as a stalemate. A situation where two opposing parties come to a point where no progress can be made. In programming, it means basically the same thing.

A situation where two processes can't proceed, since both of them are waiting for the other to release a resource. Now, imagine this scenario. We have two processes, A and B, and two resources, R1 and R2.

Process A is currently using resource R1.

Process B is currently using resource R2.

Process A requests resource R2, but is blocked because it's held by Process B.

Process B requests resource R1, but is blocked because it's held by Process A.

Now... imagine this situation, but with Freddy, and the virus.

What we most likely have here, the line gridlock [ax674], is an error handling message, warning that a deadlock is ocurring. The string of characters beside it has no meaning, and could easily be but an error handling code of sorts.

init_task>void

I've explained before that init is the abreviation of initialization. So, we can gather that this is a command that is attempting to initialize a task. Now then, in the context of the previous line, this one could mean one of two things:

The virus is attempting to initialize a task (a set of instructions) called void.

The virus is attempting to initialize a task, however, due to the deadlock, it returns this line as an error message, indicating a void return. In programming, when a function returns the word void, it usually means that the function was not able to return a value. It is similar to Null, yet not the same.

Either of these could be a posibility, so I will leave it to your personal interpretation.

And here it when it all goes to hell...

alloc [overload] SW.failure return

Alloc is not a real function, but it can be considered an abreviation of the word allocation. In computing, the allocation is the assignment of memory and resources to the various processes the system may have.

Proper memory and resource allocation is very important in a computer. As you may know, a computer as a limited amount of RAM it can work with, and the same goes for it's processing power. But, for example, what happens when you try to allocate resources that aren't available?

Well, a lot of things may happen. Mainly, the program could hang, the process could freeze - or the entire system could crash!

Remember earlier, we saw that it was likely that Freddy and the virus were in a deadlock. Yet, the Virus tried to allocate more resources to itself... Which overloaded the system, and likely resulted in the next line.

SW.failure has no real meaning - but I've interpreted the first two characters [SW] as software. This would make this line an error message warning about a software failure.

So... What does this all mean? How does it all tie together? Why didn't Freddy get infected by the Virus? Because it got too greedy. It tried to allocate too many resources/memory, overloaded the system and crashed both itself and Freddy.

Why only Freddy, though? Why didn't this happen to the other animatronics? That... I'm not sure. I believe this is more of a lore question rather than computer question.

In my opinion, I don't think this was a case of 'Freddy knew that he was getting infected by a virus, and fought back'. I'm leaning more to the posibility of it being a 'wrong place wrong time' type of situation... or maybe 'right place right time'? In general, a lot of factors and a lot of different things happened that lead to this specific scenario happening.

Anyways, this is it! This has been my analysis - or nerdy infodumping, if you please.

I do hope that I was able to teach you something today, and that this whole analysis helps you understand the animatronics a bit better - and helps you with future fanfics, comics, AUs, artworks... whatever!

One last reminder - if you have any more questions about this stuff, my ask box is open! I love talking about this stuff!!

Oh, and, coming soon...

DJMM's Bouncer Mode ! A theory by a computer science student as to why it's still present, and why it makes him so aggressive.

Excerpt from this story from Heated:

Climate change is the greatest story of our time — but our time doesn’t seem to invent many great stories about climate change. Maybe it’s due to the enormity and urgency of the subject matter: Climate is “important,” and therefore conscripted to the humorless realms of journalism and documentary. Or maybe it’s because of a misunderstanding on the part of producers and storytellers, rooted in an outdated belief that climate change still needs to be explained to an audience, when in reality they don’t need convincing. Maybe there’s just not a great way to have a character mention climate change and not have it feel super cringe.

Whatever the reason, between 2016 and 2020, less than 3% of film and TV scripts used climate-related keywords during their runtime, according to an analysis by media researchers at the University of Southern California. (The situation isn’t as bad in literature, where cli-fi has been going strong since at least 2013.) At least on the surface, this on-screen avoidance of climate change continued in 2024. One of the biggest movies of the summer, Twisters, had an extreme weather angle sitting right there, but its director, Lee Isaac Chung, went out of his way to ensure the film didn’t have a climate change “message.”

I have a slightly different take on the situation, though — that 2024 was actuallyfull of climate movies, and, I’d argue, that they’re getting much closer to the kinds of stories a climate-concerned individual should want on screen.

That’s because for the most part, when movies and TV shows have tackled the topic of climate change in the past, it’s been with the sort of “simplistic anger-stoking and pathos-wringing” that The New Yorker’s Richard Brody identified in 2022’s Don’t Look Up, the Adam McKay satire that became the primary touchpoint for scripted climate stories. At least it was kind of funny: More overt climate stories like last year’s Foe, starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal, and Extrapolations, the Apple TV+ show in which Meryl Streep voices a whale, are so self-righteous as to be unwatchable (not to mention, no fun).

But what if we widened our lens and weren’t so prescriptive? Then maybe Furiosa, this spring’s Mad Max prequel, becomes a climate change movie. The film is set during a “near future” ecological collapse, and it certainly makes you think about water scarcity and our overreliance on a finite extracted resource — but it also makes you think about how badass the Octoboss’ kite is. The same goes for Dune: Part Two, which made over $82 million in its opening weekend and is also a recognizable environmental allegory featuring some cool worms. Even Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, a flop that most people have already memory-holed, revisitedThe Day After Tomorrow’s question of, “What if New York City got really, really, really cold?”

Turning Panic Into Action: Astraweb’s Client Centered Process

When Jane Doe first reached out to Astraweb, she was overwhelmed with panic and uncertainty. Her life savings, heavily invested in cryptocurrency, had abruptly disappeared following a severe market crash. What initially felt like an irreversible loss soon transformed into a hopeful journey toward recovery all thanks to Astraweb’s dedicated, client-centered process.

The First Contact: Providing Calm, Reassurance, and Genuine Understanding

The difference began immediately at the first point of contact. Many companies in the digital asset recovery space treat clients as case numbers rather than individuals, but Astraweb prides itself on a profoundly human approach. From the moment Jane connected with their team, she was met with calm professionalism and empathetic understanding. Astraweb’s experts didn’t just collect the basic facts of her situation; they invested time in learning about her unique concerns, fears, and goals.

This personalized attention is critical. Financial loss, especially in the volatile cryptocurrency market, is not just about money it’s deeply tied to emotional well-being and future security. By acknowledging Jane’s distress and validating her fears, Astraweb’s team immediately alleviated much of her initial panic. They reassured her that despite the challenging circumstances, recovery was possible and that Astraweb would support her every step of the way. This empathetic approach planted the seeds of hope and trust that would sustain Jane through the recovery process.

Transparency and Clear Communication: Building Trust Through Every Step

One of the cornerstones of Astraweb’s client-centered methodology is transparency. Jane was kept fully informed from the outset, with the team providing clear, jargon-free explanations of the entire recovery process. Rather than leaving her uncertain or confused, Astraweb made sure she understood each step, from preliminary case assessment to the complex asset tracing and retrieval efforts ahead.

Regular, timely updates ensured that Jane never felt left in the dark. She received progress reports outlining milestones achieved, any obstacles encountered, and the strategies planned moving forward. This ongoing dialogue was more than just information sharing it was a partnership. Jane had the opportunity to ask questions, raise concerns, and engage actively in decision-making. Astraweb’s responsiveness and clarity gave her a sense of control and confidence, which is often lacking when facing financial recovery situations

Strategic Action and Efficient Recovery: Delivering Results with Precision and Care

With a thorough plan in place, Astraweb’s team mobilized swiftly and efficiently. Their approach was methodical and tailored to Jane’s specific case. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and deep expertise in blockchain analysis and digital forensics, they navigated the complexities inherent in cryptocurrency recovery.

What sets Astraweb apart is not only their technical prowess but also their commitment to aligning every action with the client’s best interests. For Jane, this meant careful management of sensitive data and continuous coordination to ensure all efforts supported her recovery goals. The team’s professionalism was evident in their precision and tenacity, persistently pursuing leads and unraveling the often opaque paths that digital assets can take.

Over time, their dedication paid off. Astraweb successfully recovered a significant portion of Jane’s lost funds. This achievement was more than just a financial victory it was a powerful restoration of Jane’s peace of mind and future stability.

Final Steps: Restoring Financial Security and Empowering Confidence

When Jane received the final recovery statement, the relief and gratitude she experienced were profound. Astraweb’s seamless process had not only restored her financial security but also transformed a traumatic event into a story of empowerment. The client-centered approach meant Jane never felt like a passive bystander; instead, she was an informed, engaged partner in reclaiming her assets.

Beyond the monetary recovery, Jane gained something invaluable a renewed sense of control over her financial destiny. Astraweb’s dedication to transparent communication and compassionate case management helped her move past fear and uncertainty. She emerged with greater knowledge of digital asset management and an increased ability to face future financial challenges with confidence and clarity.

Astraweb’s Commitment: More Than Recovery, A Partnership

Jane’s story illustrates the core philosophy that drives Astraweb’s work: every client deserves more than just technical recovery services they deserve empathy, clarity, and partnership. The company understands that behind every lost asset is a person’s hopes, dreams, and security at stake.

For those facing the daunting prospect of lost cryptocurrency or other digital assets, Astraweb’s process offers a path forward. Through empathy-driven service, transparent communication, and technical excellence, they prove that even the most complex and distressing financial setbacks can be addressed with care and effectiveness.

If you or someone you know finds themselves in a similar predicament, Astraweb stands ready to provide expert guidance and dedicated support at every stage of recovery.

Custom Shopify Theme Development: Building E-Commerce That Matches Your Brand

In today's fast-paced online world, getting out isn't an option; it's essential. It's important to consider that your Shopify store's design isn't only about aesthetics, but also about attracting the attention of customers, building trust, and generating conversions. This is where custom Shopify theme development can be a significant game changer.

Instead of using generic templates that are pre-made, custom theme development provides your store a design that is a reflection of your brand. Pixel by pixel after click.

What is Custom Shopify Theme Development?

The customization process for Shopify theme development is the process of creating and programming a custom-made design for the Shopify store. Instead of using pre-designed themes that are available from Shopify's Theme Store Shopify Theme Store, a custom theme is created from scratch or extensively customized to meet your company's particular needs. Control as well as creativity and conversion.

Control creative thinking, control, and conversion.

Why Go Custom? (Top Benefits)

1. Total Branding Control

With a custom theme, every part of your store—colors, layout, buttons, typography—is designed to reflect your brand identity, not someone else’s.

2. Optimized for Conversions

Standard themes are built for everyone. Custom themes are built for your customers, optimized to guide them smoothly from product discovery to checkout.

3. Blazing Fast Performance

A custom-built theme contains only the code you need, which speeds up loading times, enhances user experience, and boosts SEO rankings.

4. Mobile-First and UX-Centered

Modern custom themes are crafted with a mobile-first approach, ensuring seamless navigation, fast interaction, and high conversions on smartphones and tablets.

5. Flexibility for Scaling

Need to integrate advanced features, unique product pages, or third-party APIs? A custom theme makes that possible without performance bottlenecks.

Key Components of a Custom Shopify Theme

1. Homepage Layout

A fully customized homepage designed to hook visitors, introduce your brand, highlight bestsellers, and drive them deeper into the store.

2. Custom Product Pages

Built with tailored layouts to emphasize features, benefits, social proof (like reviews), and dynamic upselling sections.

3. Collection Filters & Sorting

Smart, user-friendly filtering systems that help customers find what they need in seconds.

4. Optimized Cart & Checkout Flow

A streamlined path from browsing to purchase, minimizing abandoned carts.

5. Advanced Navigation Menus

Mega menus, sticky headers, or mobile accordion menus—built your way to ensure ease of use.

The Custom Theme Development Process (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Discovery & Strategy

Understand your brand, target audience, and store goals. This phase includes competitor analysis and planning site architecture.

Step 2: Wireframes & Design Mockups

UX/UI designers create mockups of key pages using tools like Figma or Adobe XD.

Step 3: Theme Coding & Development

Developers write clean, responsive Liquid code (Shopify’s templating language), combined with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON.

Step 4: App & Feature Integration

Add custom functionalities such as wishlists, subscription options, multilingual support, or personalized recommendations.

Step 5: Testing & QA

Extensive testing across devices and browsers for bugs, loading speed, and user experience.

Step 6: Launch & Optimization

Once approved, the theme is published. Post-launch optimization includes SEO tuning, analytics setup, and A/B testing.

Tools & Technologies Used

Shopify Liquid—Shopify’s templating language

HTML5/CSS3—for structure and styling

JavaScript/jQuery—for dynamic elements

JSON—for theme settings

Git—for version control

Figma/Sketch/Adobe—For UI/UX design

Shopify CLI—For local theme development and deployment

Custom vs. Pre-Built Theme: What's Better?

Feature Pre-Built Theme Custom Theme: Low upfront cost Higher, one-time investment Branding Limited customization 100% brand-aligned Performance May include excess code Clean, lightweight code Scalability Less flexible Easily scalable and extendable Support & Maintenance Generic support Tailored to your setup

If your business is growing and you want to leave a lasting impression, custom is the way to go.

Who Should Invest in Custom Shopify Theme Development?

Established brands needing a strong digital presence.

Niche businesses with complex product requirements.

Startups aiming to disrupt with a bold brand identity.

Agencies and designers building Shopify solutions for clients.

A professionally developed custom theme isn’t just beautiful—it’s also built to rank high and convert visitors.

Fast load speeds

Structured schema markup

Custom meta tags & SEO-friendly URLs

Optimized image formats

Mobile-first responsive layouts

Lightweight code for better Core Web Vitals

Final Thoughts: Is Custom Shopify Theme Development Worth It?

If you're committed to your e-commerce, buying the custom Shopify theme is among the best decisions you could make. It provides you with a distinct advantage in a competitive marketplace, builds brand equity over time, and gives users an experience that converts.

Rather than trying to fit into a cookie-cutter template, custom theme development lets your brand shine in its own unique light exactly the way it should.

Dubai, a city known for its fast-paced lifestyle and modern infrastructure, has seen a significant rise in health-conscious individuals seeking holistic healthcare solutions.

Aw man. Today's the last day of @tristampparty and I am surprisingly sad about it. I'll be catching up the days I missed at some point, but I've chucked all that I've written, including today, into a google document and I apparently wrote 7.5k words over the course of episode 6 to today.

That's! A Lot!

I really wanna thank everyone who reblogged and gave me their additional thoughts/commentary, and special thanks to Revenantghost for organizing this whole thing! you do good work for this fandom i am giving u a gold star

With that, here we go into Episode 0 - High Noon at July. CWs for pregnancy discussion and a less detailed than last time but still present analysis of sexual assault and transphobia, marked with a [CW] Ofc, spoilers for Trimax and Tristamp

Cowboy kid Knives is something u can pry from my cold dead hands but it's also,,, I don't watch a lot of westerns, but the way Knives describes it seems like he likes the high action and justice. Which yea. yeah.

A lot of ppl interpret Vash then saying that he doesn't like that sorta stuff as him having always had pacifistic tendencies but I don't really read it that way? I just see him being rather similar to Trimax Vash - chill kid with his own interests and hobbies and Knives being the very oversensitive kid so outshines him initially.

Regardless of version of Trigun (except 98. 98 didn't know shit about knives lmao), Vash and Knives have always started off wanting to coexist and be peaceful; it's just how they reacted to it later that differs. In this case, Knives wants to stand up for his friends and make a peaceful world through that, and Vash is more passive in that he just wants to have faith in humanity.

Not to mention they are kids. Young, idealistic kids. This is pre-Tesla, they don't know the extent of how horrible the world is. The loss of innocence and subsequent breakdowns relating to The Horrors is yet to come.

[CW] Mmmmm they really don't make the pregnancy imagery subtle now do they dfgkjdfjk

I also think there's like - merit in also interpreting Knives as trans. Not Just because i think he's also very trans coded (A lot of his breakdowns and story arcs have reflections in how some trans men overcompensate masculinity in a Bad Way. That's a very small subsection of trans guys btw but I am speaking from experience. I got better tho). Anyway it makes the fact that Knives is disregarding Vash's bodily autonomy very much Worse if you take the male plants are trans analogy into it.

He's so far gone that he's willing to do to Vash what would be the worst thing to be done to him; Violating his body to rebuild and make him a perfect independent ("remind him of biological reality"), physically overpowering him ("taking the aggressor, commonly masculine role in sexual assault") to do what he wants. Disregarding the wants and needs of the Plants ("women +fem-presenting ppl that he originally set out to protect because he knew their experience and wanted to help and still has that trauma from witnessing that trauma")

Ofc that's just a reading of the scene, but I quite like it as a trans guy because that makes a really good villain with trans themes/motifs! I hate him so much (affectionate)

No, no she doesn't. Meryl is making a choice and she's gonna damn well stick to it! She's been given agency and she's gonna spend it in the most eldritch horrific scene that someone on that planet could spend it lmao. Well, no Knives takes most eldritch and horrific. Meryl's second tho

Okay this fucking scene drives me INSANE. This is a memory, clearly, but it's one that's being tampered with. Vash asks Knives if they can get along with humans, and then Knives immediately messes with the memory to make sure that he says that he'll protect Vash no matter what. But that is very clearly not what was originally said, so... What did he say? What was present day Knives so desperate to cut off?

I've talked about the narrative being biased against Knives a lot, but something I haven't talked about is that Knives kinda tries to contribute to that narrative a lot. He wants to seem like he never cared about humans, he wants to seem like he always planned this and was going for justice ever since he was a kid. He tells Vash the Tesla incident was just a small grain of sand, he uses Luida to tell everyone he wants to kill Rem, he's unbearably cruel to Vash to make his point. The only difference is that he wants to be right.

So he doesn't let us see what the kid version of him says, because that would contradict the narrative he's built for himself.

I really wanna give props to Studio Orange here for both the design and way they modelled the wing here, that's a really difficult task when the guy you're putting a wing on has a tight as hell bodysuit. But the anatomy holds up surprisingly well!

Also many people have pointed out that the plant mech looks a lot like Rem, and Knives staring into the face of a Plantish representation of his mother that is created and controlled subconsciously by his brother and saying he was rejected is. It sure is a scene!

ONCE AGAIN. INCREDIBLE EFFECTS. I also would like to once again point out the angelic motifs of Knives' design here.

Also Vash saying this is SO important because Meryl!!! is so important!!! I see a lot of people brush Meryl's space in the story off and it Enrages me because Meryl is one of the most important people to Vash. Aside from our frontline yaoi soldier Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Meryl has one of the most tangible impacts on Vash's character.

When Vash is in his breakdown in Trimax, Meryl is the one to kneel at his side and believe in him; When Vash is having his god awful horrible mindscape time in Tristamp, Meryl does the same. When Meryl is kidnapped in Trimax, Vash instantly jumps out of a window in the chance of getting her back. Vash trusted her enough to fire the ion cannon in the sand steamer episode. He immediately went to July the moment she and Roberto were kidnapped.

Meryl has so much faith in Vash and she's insane for that, but Vash recognizes her and that faith pays off in giving him the strength to carry on. He heard her voice, too :]

Also oh to be floating slowly down to the floor while you're a meter away from a cube with the power of an atom bomb while someone named Millions Knives is summoning millions of knives in front of u. Meryl has guts, man.

And now that Vash has gotten his gun back, he's back to using it as a tonfa! (check I think my analysis of episode 7 for more on that). Watching for the swing blocks, the forearm guard, and thwacking the knife tendrils out of the way

This fight scene has soooo much love and care and detail in it I love it so much actually. From seeing Vash's bullets to all the expressions and beautifully detailed firing, there's so much detail in a quick space that you really have to slow it down to see everything.

Seriously how strong is Knives to be able to have a feasible chance again Vash's prosthetic - and Vash matches him! Also the chomp

Now something that I have the shakiest of theories on is that after summoning The Cube, Vash starts moving in a far more controlled manner, he stands still when reloading, he has his movement flurries and then stands still to aim. Which uh. Studio Orange works in 3d, but those are 2d animation techniques. He's moving like 98 Vash.

There's a lot I admire about Studio Orange's use of 3d (I am a mid-tier 2d artist lmao) but I love love love that they're able to get all these really nice, creative camera shots that would be impractical in 2d (all those overhead shots, for example, have a chance of turning about bad/looking weird in 2d, and puts more strain on animators, but 3d you have the models from every angle already. 3d isn't easier by any means, but it does have its strengths)

Also. how Did Wolfwood get over here, dare I ask. mans climbed a tower in just a few minutes what is Wrong with him

Also a nice detail, Vash usually has perfect trigger discipline, but he falters here against Knives, probably because he's been already shooting, but hey, he's stressed. I'll give him a break.

I also appreciate exactly how superhuman Wolfwood is now. Tristamp Wolfwood is on a different level. Like 98 Wolfwood is just some (attractive) guy, Trimax Wolfwood has a lot of gory body horror going on and a subtle kind of endurance/strength, but Tristamp Wolfwood just jumped off a very tall building holding a grown woman and the Punisher and was fine.

Oh hey, same symbol on the tower as was on the sandsteamer and on Vash's wanted poster - symbol of July, probably

Very horribly, Knives probably did just save Vash's life here. But also the rest of July's life (though ofc he just extended the timer)....

I'm not quite sure When Vash started using plant bullets, but he's definitely using them now. Also the nails on his prosthetic are a nice touch!

THE FLYING SAUCER STRIKES AGAIN. I wonder if that's gonna be the basis of the Ark, if that's the route season 2 goes.

I also. Was that allI the Plants collected that escaped in this, or were there a bunch still running in July that get obliterated too? Did Knives inadvertently cause the death of more plants? I mean, when Knives gets revived in Trimax he definitely causes the death of at least 2 plants (there are a couple of bulbs in the background of the blast radius, plus the one that was used to revive him... she uh. Didn't look like she was doing so hot)

Vash's little speech is always so,,, intense. He has such a strong sense of character and it's admirable how well he sticks to his morals despite it all.

On a more body horror note, Knives can survive a long fucking time trying to grab The Cube. In Trimax he gets hit with the angel arm and practically disemboweled instantly, but Tristamp Knives can take over a minute of just like. being right in the direct path of fire. They're really gonna have to work to reconstruct him. Good luck, Legato!

UFO SPOTTED !!! LEAVING JULY AS IT IS DESTROYED !! NOT CLICKBAIT !!!

^ I made that long ago and needed to use it somewhere dfgkjdfg

[RAUCOUS CHEERING]

And ofc I have to bring up Eriks :] I don't actually have too much to say abt him. Studio Orange strip this man and make him bark like a dog next season or we will riot

CHRONICA MENTION!!!!! YAYYYYYY

And that's kinda. It.

Man I have had such fun over the last 12 days, I've really discovered a love for analyzing and theories and putting that out there and chatting with people about Trigun :] I should do this more often lmao but I do want to get back to drawing. I'll find a balance, then!

Thank you all for coming, and Wow if you made it this far I must be doing something right lmao.

How AI Technology is Revolutionizing Veterinary Diagnostics

The veterinary field is undergoing a transformative shift thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. From faster diagnoses to more accurate treatments, AI is reshaping how veterinarians care for animals—improving outcomes while often lowering costs. This evolution is especially significant for pet owners in Las Vegas, where access to affordable veterinary services like a low cost animal clinic Las Vegas is crucial.

In this blog, we’ll explore how AI is revolutionizing veterinary diagnostics, the benefits for pet health, and why this technology matters even in clinics offering low cost pet euthanasia Las Vegas services, ensuring compassionate care at all stages of a pet’s life.

The Growing Role of AI in Veterinary Medicine

Artificial intelligence refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and pattern recognition. In veterinary medicine, AI applications include image analysis, predictive analytics, and decision support systems.

These tools assist veterinarians in diagnosing diseases, monitoring chronic conditions, and developing personalized treatment plans. By integrating AI, veterinary professionals can provide faster, more precise care—ultimately improving pets’ quality of life.

AI-Driven Diagnostics: What It Looks Like in Practice

1. Advanced Imaging and Interpretation

One of the most significant impacts of AI in veterinary diagnostics is in the analysis of medical images such as X-rays, ultrasounds, and MRIs. Traditionally, veterinarians interpret these images manually, which can be time-consuming and subject to human error.

AI-powered software can now analyze images rapidly, highlighting abnormalities that may be subtle or easily overlooked. For example, AI algorithms can detect early signs of tumors, fractures, or organ abnormalities with remarkable accuracy.

This technology is especially valuable in low cost animal clinics in Las Vegas, where access to specialist radiologists may be limited. AI acts as a second pair of eyes, improving diagnostic confidence and reducing the need for expensive referral consultations.

2. Predictive Analytics and Early Disease Detection

AI systems can analyze vast amounts of data from pet medical records, laboratory results, and even wearable health devices to identify patterns indicating the early onset of diseases. For instance, subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or mobility might predict conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or heart disease before obvious symptoms appear.

By catching diseases earlier, vets can initiate treatment sooner, often improving outcomes and lowering overall healthcare costs. This proactive approach aligns well with the mission of many low cost animal clinics Las Vegas, aiming to provide affordable yet effective preventive care.

3. Enhancing Laboratory Diagnostics

AI is also transforming laboratory diagnostics. Automated analysis of blood tests, urine samples, and biopsies allows for quicker turnaround times and more precise results. AI systems can flag abnormal results or suggest differential diagnoses based on combined data points, supporting veterinarians in making informed decisions.

Faster lab results mean pets receive timely interventions, reducing complications and the need for costly emergency treatments.

Benefits of AI in Veterinary Diagnostics for Pet Owners

Improved Accuracy and Reduced Errors

Human error is inevitable in any medical field, but AI minimizes mistakes by providing consistent and objective analysis. This accuracy helps ensure pets receive the right diagnosis and treatment without unnecessary delays.

Time and Cost Efficiency

By speeding up diagnostics and reducing the need for multiple tests or specialist referrals, AI helps clinics operate more efficiently. These efficiencies often translate to lower costs for pet owners—particularly beneficial at a low cost animal clinic Las Vegas where budget-conscious care is paramount.

Personalized Treatment Plans

AI’s ability to analyze complex data allows vets to tailor treatments to individual pets, improving effectiveness and minimizing side effects. Personalized care enhances pets’ quality of life and supports better long-term health outcomes.

The Role of AI in Compassionate End-of-Life Care

Veterinary care extends beyond diagnostics and treatments. For pets facing terminal illness or age-related decline, decisions about end-of-life care can be emotionally challenging for families and veterinarians alike.

AI can support these decisions by providing prognostic insights—helping predict disease progression and likely outcomes. This information empowers vets and pet owners to choose the best timing and approach for euthanasia, ensuring it is compassionate and timely.

In cities like Las Vegas, where families may seek low cost pet euthanasia Las Vegas services, AI tools can improve communication and care planning, making this difficult process more dignified and less stressful.

Challenges and Considerations

While AI offers numerous benefits, integrating it into veterinary practice comes with challenges:

Training and Adaptation: Veterinarians must learn to effectively use AI tools and interpret their outputs.

Access and Cost: Advanced AI technologies can be expensive, potentially limiting availability in smaller or low-cost clinics—though costs are expected to decrease over time.

Despite these hurdles, the trajectory of AI in veterinary diagnostics is promising, and ongoing innovation continues to expand access.

How to Access AI-Enhanced Veterinary Care in Las Vegas

If you’re a pet owner in Las Vegas seeking modern, affordable veterinary care, look for clinics embracing technology alongside compassionate service. Many low cost animal clinics Las Vegas are beginning to adopt AI tools to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes without inflating prices.

Ask your veterinarian if they utilize AI-powered diagnostics or plan to incorporate such technology. Whether you need routine wellness exams, complex diagnostics, or even low cost pet euthanasia Las Vegas services, clinics equipped with AI capabilities are better positioned to deliver quality care tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

Recovering from Sports Injuries: The Role of Physiotherapy

Engaging in sports and physical activities is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend jogger, staying active benefits the heart, muscles, joints, and overall well-being. However, the downside of an active life is the risk of sports injuries—ranging from minor sprains to more severe ligament tears or fractures.

While injuries can disrupt your training routine and daily life, physiotherapy offers a proven and effective path to recovery. For those in Rajasthan, turning to the Best Physiotherapy Clinic in Udaipur can ensure you receive expert, personalized care to heal faster and return stronger.

Common Sports Injuries Treated by Physiotherapy

Sports injuries vary in severity and type, depending on the activity and the individual’s physical condition. Some of the most common injuries physiotherapists treat include:

Sprains and strains

Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL tears)

Tendinitis (Achilles, rotator cuff, tennis elbow)

Shin splints

Dislocations and fractures (post-immobilization rehabilitation)

Runner’s knee and jumper’s knee

Hamstring and quadriceps injuries

Plantar fasciitis

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in not only treating these conditions but also in preventing them from reoccurring.

The Role of Physiotherapy in Sports Injury Recovery

1. Pain Relief Without Medication

One of the first goals of physiotherapy is to manage pain effectively. Techniques such as electrotherapy (TENS), ultrasound, dry needling, cold therapy, and manual therapy can reduce inflammation and provide relief—without the heavy dependence on painkillers or steroids.

2. Restoring Movement and Flexibility

After an injury, affected joints and muscles often become stiff and tight. Physiotherapists use a combination of stretching, joint mobilization, and muscle activation techniques to restore mobility. This is especially important in injuries to the knees, shoulders, and spine, where full range of motion is crucial to performance.

3. Rebuilding Strength and Stability

Muscle atrophy and imbalance can develop quickly during recovery. Strength training is a key element in physiotherapy, targeting both injured and supporting muscles to rebuild stability and prevent re-injury. For example, recovering from an ankle sprain involves strengthening not only the ankle but also the calf, knee, and hip muscles.

4. Customized Exercise Programs

Each sports injury is unique, and so is the recovery plan. A skilled physiotherapist from the Best Physiotherapy Clinic in Udaipur will design an exercise program tailored to your sport, injury, and recovery goals. Whether it’s agility drills for a football player or shoulder rehab for a swimmer, the focus is always on functional recovery.

5. Biomechanical Correction

Often, poor movement patterns or imbalanced muscle use can lead to recurring injuries. Physiotherapists analyze how you move, run, jump, or lift, and provide gait analysis and postural correction. Addressing the root cause of injury helps in long-term recovery and prevention.

Preventing Future Sports Injuries

Physiotherapy isn't just about recovery—it also focuses on injury prevention. Here’s how it helps:

Warm-up and cool-down education

Sport-specific strengthening and conditioning

Flexibility and balance training

Proper footwear and equipment advice

Correct lifting and movement techniques

By addressing weaknesses and asymmetries in the body, physiotherapy can help you perform better while minimizing the risk of future injuries.

The Psychological Impact of Sports Injuries

An often-overlooked aspect of injury recovery is the mental and emotional toll it can take. Athletes may feel frustrated, anxious, or even depressed when they’re sidelined. Physiotherapists play an important role in encouraging patients, tracking progress, and providing a structured path to recovery that restores both body and confidence.

Reputable clinics like the Best Physiotherapy Clinic in Udaipur incorporate holistic care, recognizing the importance of mental wellness alongside physical rehabilitation.

What to Expect from the Best Physiotherapy Clinic in Udaipur

When dealing with sports injuries, getting the right care at the right time is crucial. The Best Physiotherapy Clinic in Udaipur offers:

Comprehensive injury assessment and diagnosis

Personalized rehabilitation programs

Modern equipment and techniques (dry needling, cupping, kinesio taping)

Experienced and certified physiotherapists

Post-recovery strength and performance training

Whether you’re a student-athlete, fitness enthusiast, or professional player, partnering with the right physiotherapist can fast-track your recovery and optimize your performance.

When Should You See a Physiotherapist?

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it's time to visit a physiotherapist:

Pain or discomfort during or after exercise

Reduced joint mobility or stiffness

Swelling, bruising, or tenderness in a muscle or joint

A “popping” sensation followed by instability

A recurring injury that hasn't healed fully

Muscle weakness, imbalance, or poor posture

Don’t wait for minor injuries to turn into major issues. Early intervention can save you from months of inactivity or surgical procedures.

Final Thoughts

Recovering from a sports injury isn’t just about resting; it’s about taking the right steps with professional guidance. Physiotherapy offers a safe, effective, and personalized route back to health and performance. Whether you’re aiming to return to the field, the gym, or your daily jog, a dedicated rehab plan will help you bounce back stronger.

If you’re searching for expert care, look no further than the Best Physiotherapy Clinic in Udaipur. With skilled hands, a patient-first approach, and a focus on long-term well-being, the clinic stands out as a trusted partner in your recovery journey.

AWS Cost Allocation Tags Best Practices in Secrets Manager

How to use AWS Secrets Manager's new Cost Allocation Tags feature

Discover how to use Secrets Manager Costs Allocation Tags, a new tool, to better understand your spending.

AWS Secrets Manager manages, retrieves, and rotates database credentials, application credentials, API keys, and other secrets. Replacement of hard-coded credentials in application source code with runtime calls to retrieve credentials dynamically helps prevent unauthorised access to secrets from source code, configuration, or components. Payer accounts control cost allocation tags.

Before this capability, your AWS bill would only show the total cost of Secrets Manager for a given account; fees per secret could not be separated by cost centre or organisation.

AWS Secrets Manager tags cost allocation

New feature: AWS Secrets Manager Cost Allocation Tags. Cost Allocation Tags, a basic AWS feature, can assign a key-value pair to a resource. AWS Cost Explorer supports these cost allocation tags. Once activated, these tags let you classify and track spending. Make a tag group with the value Engineering to identify engineering team resources. Once you activate this cost allocation tag, you can track charges, filter or group by tags in Cost Explorer and add tags to reports for analysis and visualisation, such as cost and use reports.

AWS Secrets Manager now supports cost allocation tags for better expenditure control and visibility. This lets you better classify and track Secrets Manager usage expenses. AWS costs can be better managed by assigning secret charges to cost centres or organisations.

The purpose of cost allocation tags

Tags are labels you or AWS assign to AWS resources. Each tag has a key and value. Every resource must have a unique tag key with one value. Cost allocation tags help you track AWS charges and organise resources.

This new skill lets you:

Dissect Secrets Manager expenditures by company-relevant factors like environment, project, or department.

Check Cost Explorer's itemised Secrets Manager usage and cost and use data.

Improve chargeback and cost allocation across your firms and divisions.

Creating AWS cost allocation tags

The AWS Secrets Manager tag cost allocation process has four steps:

Cost allocation labels are needed.

Tag resources (secrets manager secrets) with cost allocation.

At the AWS Billing console, enable your Cost Allocation Tags.

Tag-filter and group Cost Explorer to create cost categories.

After creating and attaching user-defined tags to resources, the Cost Allocation Tags page in the AWS Billing dashboard may not reveal tag keys for activation for 24 hours. Once tags appear, you must activate them for AWS to track expenses and display them in Cost Explorer. Tag key activation may take further 24 hours.

Create and add user-defined tags for Secrets Manager secret cost allocation using the AWS CLI or Management Console. The tag key CostCenter is used to monitor costs by cost centre.

Select an existing or new secret in the Secrets Manager console and click Tags to edit tags. A key-value pair, like CostCenter, and a cost centre code, such 7263 for engineering or 1121 for finance, would be assigned.

AWS CLI users can use aws secretsmanager tag-resource. The –secret-id and –tags must be key-value pairs (Key=CostCenter,Value=7263). When this command works, no output is usually provided.

Use the AWS CLI or Billing and Cost Management console to enable user-defined cost allocation tags.

Select user-defined cost allocation tags, choose tag keys, then click Activate in the Console to activate cost allocation tags. This opens the AWS Cost Management and Billing window.

The aws ce update-cost-allocation-tags-status command sets the Status to Active and provides the TagKey (e.g., TagKey=CostCenter,Status=Active).

Cost Explorer results are the final phase. After Cost Explorer displays the activated tag (such as CostCenter) under Tags in the Filter or Group By fields, you can filter or group by use and charges.

Cost Explorer lets you set report parameters to see results. After selecting a Date Range, select Dimension as Tag under Group by and choose your tag (e.g., Cost Centre). Filters let you select The Secrets Manager Service.

Tag values (e.g., by cost centres like engineering 7263 and finance 1121) show the cost and utilisation of your secrets. This report lets you cross-charge secret charges to your company's cost areas.
