well yknow how one of our amplifiers was having issues a while back, so we cleaned it out and it seemed to be working better?

well...
An amplifier with the thermal protect and clip lights both illuminated. For this model of amplifier, that means that it has activated the thermal limiter circuit, which limits the output of the amplifier when it gets too hot.

finally got around to properly #projectionmapping the cyc in our theatre!

(just using #qlab for this btw, im just playing back a prerendered video so i dont really need touch).
A test pattern being projected on the back wall (cyclorama) of a stage. The test pattern is nearly perfectly aligned to the corners of the cyc, and the aspect ratio of the projections is also nearly perfect (as shown by the grid of squares and the circle in the center).

A multiple-choice question in a Google Rewards survey asking “Do you reside in Florida?”. The answers are “Yes”, “I don’t know”, and “No”.

A screenshot from Discord. A user has run a command called `/f givederg`, and in response the discord bot has returned an image of a dragon.

Yet another sheet of stickers. This time the stickers are the proper resolution and the laminate is applied mostly properly.

(this is what it looked like before)
A bunch of stickers on a Cricut work sheet. The bottom stickers are cut off-center, and the drawing is cut off a little bit because of this.

it actually cut really well! so the feed issue is clearly fixed.
A bunch of stickers randomly placed around a cutting mat. The cuts have the proper margins, and the print quality looks overall pretty good.

A person laying on the ground and staring quite intently at the operations of a cricut sticker cutter.

also apparently im really bad at applying laminate

if anyone has some tips please tell me lol
Another picture of the sheet of stickers. The bubbles under the laminate are very clearly visible, as well as the fact that the laminate is misaligned with the page.

A photo of a paper with some stickers printed on it. The print is very low resolution, and there's some bubbles under the laminate.

managed to get it set up pretty well, but now we just have to wrestle the software into doing what we want
A test sheet from the printer. There are two calibration runs on this page at two different ink densities, one of them looks pretty good and the other one has a decent amount of bleed on it.

#touchdesigner
A model of an anthropomorphic fox character. The model is in a very rough T-pose, but the chest is bent back 90 degrees and the model is very stretched, and also appears to be sitting on its knees.

recently, we took apart that piano to see if we could maybe fix it, and we found where the smoke came from!
A picture of the bottom of a PCB. One of the traces is bare and there are burn marks around it (it likely heated up so much that it just burned the solder mask right off).
