  1. sounds like an improvement over blow up dolls from France... Serious question, if these NPC AI helpers are owned by LL, can we trust them? Do I need to watch what I ask them?
  2. Yep, and anywhere else it seems. Everyone has been silenced, outside of SL also - too much to lose I guess. We are hoping SL cleans up it's mess and moves forward. There are ways to figure out what is happening, but I can't tell you or I might end up with large rocks on my feet, in a deep river.
  3. Since I am retired, a week is 7 days, and they are all the same! My calendar also is grouped by weeks, 7 days even. Probably don't want to challenge the calendar week. So many printed, would be a shame to recall them all.
  4. Yeah I knew what you meant. But decreasing attrition would be an increase in employees, or forumites, and that's not the case I see here. A higher attrition rate indicates that a company may be facing challenges in retaining its employees. This can be due to factors such as low pay, limited opportunities for career growth, poor company culture, or high levels of stress. A higher attrition rate can result in increased hiring costs, decreased productivity, and a negative impact on company morale. https://www.hipeople.io/blog/how-to-measure-and-improve-your-attrition-rate#:~:text=This can be due to,negative impact on company morale. Attrition is more about turnover rate, the lower the better. From what we have heard, some groups have high attrition rates. I don't see many newbies coming here to replace the old ones that have left.
  5. Peeve - Faulty page counting. I count 11 pages in the last week, but I don't have anyone on Ignore either.
  6. I think you mean it is increasing. Attrition is the departure of employees from the organization for any reason (voluntary or involuntary), including resignation, termination, death or retirement
  7. The ice and snow have melted, and it's Spring/Summer again in the Realms.
  8. You didn't miss much, since all the interesting threads in the last 2 weeks have been removed, often in a few hours. Pet Peeve - I take a lunch break, and when I return the thread is missing.
  9. So your dad was a young-un. The proper terms for telegraphy before radio existed was a Sounder to make two clicks upon making and breaking the circuit. The first senders were Morse code Keys, simple lever switches you tapped to send dits and dashes. Paddles, which are called Bugs today, came a bit later, since moving the paddle to the left made a series of dits while dashes were made manually with a left motion. I sold my old classic VibroPlex bug 20 years ago for $150, so I could have the left and right mixed up. When I was 7 yrs old I built a telegraph sounder using a wood block, a large nail, doorbell wire, and a couple springs, and a large 1.5 volt #6 size battery. My parents were worried I would burn the house down. None of my friends wanted to learn Morse Code especially with a clicky old sounder. They were more into baseball. Here's one of the first sounders - electromagnet, soft iron piece mounted on a spring loaded fulcrum. The idea was to hear the acoustic click made by the telegraph key, 50 miles away, via the telegraph lines (the first internet?). Yes this was the first electronic communication all over the world. A skilled telegrapher could send and read about 35 words per min. Now what is this PBR again? I was an only child - so no siblings to practice the Morse Code with, or join SL... (see, on topic)
  10. My decoder ring is not working for that code... got another hint?
  11. Has anyone seen a Lab Gab announcement where the participants were not listed in the announcement? This is very strange. Was LL unsure who would be interviewed (as in available) for the Lab Gab?
  12. I have seen SL's gross revenue as around $80 Million/yr. but their Net income was estimated as $8.5 Million, as stated above. LL has to pay their employees, the Amazon Cloud, and their legal staff, and their generous benefits, from that gross income.
  13. Because bot spammers move on until they find a group that works for sending. They are as affected as anyone, but are more persistent, and don't care if one group is not working, because they are auto sending in dozens of groups. The problem is on your end, probably your inventory, or your region. That's why alts can send and mains can not. Group chat has been broken for about 10 years. PBR has more priority. If SL would charge you for sending a group message, It would get fixed quickly.
  14. Check "Allow audio streams to auto-play", and uncheck "Enable media filter."
  15. Not sure I believe this estimate from Zippia. I have seen higher annual revenue estimates. I assume those 270 employees include their contract workers, eg the Moles.
  16. https://lindenlab.com/press-release/high-fidelity-invests-in-second-life#:~:text=Now in its 19th year,%2C real estate%2C and services. (Two year old report from LL )
  17. We will need to wait for Generation Beta before they actually work, somewhat.
  18. What kind of sounds? Your viewer has a mixer that can mix Object sounds, Streaming Music, Media Music, Ambient Sound, and Voice too if activated. Turn all the volume controls but Music down by moving the Sliders to the far left. You should not hear any sounds if the streaming music is interrupted then. Media channel is a common source of sound if you don't have it blocked. Dropouts from streaming music are common, depending on the quality of it's net connections to you. That can happen anywhere in the network chain. If you Mute the Master channel, you should hear silence as well, unless sounds are coming from another application outside of your Viewer such as your Browser.
  19. For the confused, I just took this snapshot today, March 1, 2024. Must be cold at the Linden portals.
  20. At least the PBR Midday settings BOTH look better than on a non-PBR viewer, for face shadows: This is how many viewed faces with No shadows and the old Midday default, for years. Some club point and ambient light can help a little, but this is why Facelights are still in use. Add shadows to the Midday setting, and the hair shields the face, but it is then too dark. Next two are on FS PBR viewer. First is Midday (Legacy), and second is the new Midday. Shadows On in both settings: New PBR Midday: All shots outdoors on a mainland mountain top. No external lighting except Midday Sky EEP's. AO was off, since I like sharp shadows. BTW system head from about 2012, body and head skin also from same Head creator, on a Mesh Bento BOM body from 2021. No neck seam, as old full body BOM skins matched the heads perfectly. Of course no materials back then. Use tattoos, and water drops if you are sweaty. No Vaseline bodies.
  21. A smart club owner won't hire anyone to rebuild the club with PBR materials. They will avoid PBR, use the same point lighting the club has always used, and maybe, if they even know how, set the EEP to a Shared Environment that looks like it always has. The "cool" clubs that want a shiny PBR disco ball and greasy floors will lose patrons using their Mac laptops. Although the clientele in some of these light show clubs are too stoned to notice anything different. Old wood in classic club builds does not shine or reflect anything but dust.
  22. I have always wanted to know where I live, in RL and SL. I guess Geography is no longer taught in schools. No wonder nobody gets along. Living in isolation is not how you learn about other people. How many can name all the SL continents that make up the mainland? I live on one of those private islands, in a sea of isolated islands. I am a west of Heterocera Atoll by a long shot, and Zindra (Scarlet Veil shown) is stuck way way out East, far from anything. The kids can't paddle out that far, I guess that was the idea.
