No dice :'( Why tonight of all nights? >_< I'm about to officially start a fulltime night job and gaf has worked fine for 1.5 years.
I found a really weird but functioning url but I can't login that way. Are there other urls as well?

When a digital camera takes a picture, it's basically recording a bunch of information about the light that it captured. You can save this data as a RAW file. It's not actually a picture, it's just a bunch of data.
To make it into a picture, software has to process the raw data into an image. Usually your phone does this and just saves the image as a jpg and discards the raw data as soon as the picture is taken.
Software upgrades can improve the processing of the raw data and give a better picture. You could have made the same image exactly from the RAW data and a program like photoshop, but most people don't want to do that so the camera does it automatically.
The software upgrade is usually just improving what the automatic processing does. For example, maybe the sensor/lens combo on the Galaxy S8 tends to be a little soft and flat when in low light. A software update would tell the S8's camera app to apply a bit of sharpening and increase the saturation when a low-light image is captured. Thus, you'd suddenly start getting better jpgs when you take night photos.

Translate gaf from Spanish to English:

Works for a lot of workplace blockers
Thanks, I'll try it from my desk tomorrow evening. The link gives a 404 error from my phone at home though?

Does this video cut off for everyone at 9:33? When the page loads it states it's over an hour for about 1 second, then the timeline changes to 9:33 and it won't let you go past that. The title obviously claims it's a 1+ hour video too.

I'll try it tomorrow, cool. Any other tips?
I've reported it as faulty filtering at work already :lol

The video is indeed 1+ hour long. Maybe you need to clear your cache, or try another browser.
Has anyone had the sensation of feeling huge, or rather everything else feeling small? I haven't taken anything and I'm not sure how to articulate it exactly but my mind started racing while reading some dry documentation (which is its own bizarre experience) and then after that, everything felt like it was smaller for a while. Sorta like that vertigo feeling of sinking into your chair, but the opposite and without the transition period. I guess that doesn't help and it sounds insane but I'm not sure how else to describe it. The feeling didn't last long, I guess my brain recalibrated or something, I dunno it was just a very surreal experience.

Happening for me at work and home (including incognito mode in chrome and firefox) and happening with another person I asked :/
There's also two comments on the vid about it. Super fucking weird.

Why do healthcare products end in -rex?
So like Optrex, Carex etc.

Probably because of the prescription symbol ℞:

Thank you very much.
It's been bothering me since last night
This works, as far as viewing gaf. I can't seem to log in though, but I guess that's of less concern.

Instagram question - why are all of these accounts that beg to be followed set to private if they want a ton of followers?

Yes. Very rarely and only for a couple of seconds before my perspective resets to normal. It mostly happens when I'm reading something while very tired. I think it's my brain focusing on a small area of vision while reading, and making it feel like it occupies my whole field of view (even though it doesn't in reality). When I stop concentrating and start taking in my wider environment, everything suddenly appears very small.
This happens to me while I'm laying down trying to fall asleep. Not super often, but often enough to remember it.

So are we calling it Czechia or is it still the Czech Republic?

Huh I can't browse at work now either and I had been using the neogaf.net thing.No dice :'( Why tonight of all nights? >_< I'm about to officially start a fulltime night job and gaf has worked fine for 1.5 years.

The google translate thing up above works for me as long as I don't want to post anything, try that!
I don't believe there's a YouTube played yet.
There are definitely demos though. I downloaded a demo for pokken tournament DX last week.

I still have to remind myself periodically that Czechoslovakia doesn't exist anymore.
Anyway, I'd go with Czechia, to mirror Slovakia.

Gosh, I remember a few years ago I was asking "Wait, where's Yugoslavia? ...Oh, it doesn't exist anymore." "Hey, what about Zaire? Oh, it doesn't exist anymore either."

Yugoslavia was around in some form until like 2004. It's a fantastic way to precisely date maps made between 1990 and 2005 though, just by looking at Yugoslavia's precise state of disintegration.

Is Bono technically a first name or a last name?
I honestly can't figure it out.
I honestly can't figure it out.
IIRC he was called Bono Vox (after a record shop?) because he couldn't sing but dropped the Vox so it's his adopted first name.
isn't there a thread on neogaf where people showed their houses? It was called show us your cribs or something. I can't find it
He has one name. so it's both? Like Prince or Sting.

Is this normal? My C:/ is running 100% at idle, just booted the machine up basically:
Something is reading and writing like crazy and I don't really have anything running in the background except windows stuff and "advanced system care"
Might be windows update but this is pretty common, pc is slow af :/

Can JapanGAF confirm that I'm still able to use 7-11 ATMs for currency exchange? Heading to Tokyo at the end of this week (I'll have some yen with me already) and just want to make sure that's still a thing.
Thanks!

Is it an MSI machine? We had to send a lot of defective ones back to the vendor because they were all doing this through some proprietary software.Is this normal?

If it's not MSI, it might be an anti-virus or another program auto-updating.
I have, no problem there. Suppose I could check again with other softwares.
I think the motherboard is msi yeah. Really old though. I don't think it appreciates win 10 :/ Windows Update was running, I noticed that as I wanted to turn the pc off. But it does this fairly often too.
Windows 10 has the option to disable Update for somewhere in the ballpark of 30-90 days. I would turn it off and monitor your PC to see if that is in fact the culprit.
As an aside, I had to install Windows 10 more than once because for whatever reason certain things weren't behaving properly (most notably wouldn't recognize I was connected to the internet so I couldn't play MP in certain PC games). If you install it from a USB stick the process only takes 10-20 minutes (plus the time to set your programs back up, of course). If it were me in your shoes, I wouldn't expend more than a couple hours trying to diagnose the problem before reinstalling if it's that distracting/annoying/concerning/other words. You very quickly end up wasting more time pulling your hair out trying to figure out the problem than if you had reinstalled Windows from the outset.
Interesting! I might do this. A fresh install is always super fast, until you get some updates going :lol
I asked this in the box office thread but I'm not sure that's the right place. Maybe someone here happened to notice the same movie:

GAF please help, there is a certain word that has been in my head that I know but can't think of what it is. It's right there and it just won't come up. This is a term to express something like 2 opposite feelings in one.
For example today is a nice day it's happy but at the same time it's sad because we remember 9/11
Another example, Jesus Christ gave us the promise of Life through his Flesh and blood which is the happiest and greatest news but that night he was betrayed to be crucified making it the saddest suffering for us.
What word would one say to express that mix of emotions?

Very similar to that but not that word :/
I'll probably have to settle with that for now.
You might be thinking of melancholy, but that's more of a pure sadness word. I'm not aware of any other English word that means a combination of happy and sad. Or maybe "conflicted".
The only other word I can think of is ambivalent but that doesn't really fit your examples which seem to have a tinge of guilt associated with them, as if realization of of the second detail brings down the initial joy.
I hope you remember it and post it here because it's starting to gnawing away at me too.
