Above is one of my 2 year old nephew's favourite channels. He watches them everyday. For his parents who work from home, it's the greatest thing. If an ad comes up, he cries and they know something is up.

However, they are clicking the ok button on the TV far too often per video cause of this.

They run that 90+ sponsored content so frequently it's become crap. I've seen Land Rover ads, the one above is a house, and the most annoying is when they run other cartoons like Thomas the Tank Engine or something. If the kid wanted that, no problem. But right now the singing cats are his jam. Cars, property? Someone is paying actual money to get ads in front of 2 year old kids?

Tell me this isn't a scam.

I've hit rock bottom on this. I want a basic ~$20+ per hour job where I answer calls, chats, emails and help people with whatever they need from home. I don't mind working nights, long hours, overtime, holidays, I have basically nothing to do.

I have experience, I have technical skills, customer support skills, I have led 2 teams, switched to data entry, but the last close to 100 applications have led me nowhere. I imagined it would be easy to get into Amazon support or something like that, but dang, I am not getting anywhere. All I see are bait and switch jobs to sell insurance, or travel agency stuff, or benefits or some sort of MLM.

I got into CloudWorkers with the hopes it is some sort of legit cause I am in deep crap.

I have 2 - 3 weeks where I need to figure this one out, and this in the end of the second month looking for work.

Seriously, why is it this hard?

For a long time, I've wanted to explore the possibility of creating a graphic novel. I am an author, have a small website that people subscribe to, and pay, and when I was discussing this with my people, they were extremely interested in a graphic novel based on my stuff. I can't draw, and I can't afford an illustrator, so this solves the problem.

I sprung $22 for OpenAI Dalle 3. Started off great, was struggling with consistency, but it was decent. Then the quality of images just tumbled.

I tried Bing Image Creator/Designer. The quality is the best. Again Dalle 3, but Microsoft don't have tools like inpainting, and consistency is a pain in the ass.

Brings me to this. Is there a service, which pushes Dalle 3 or something of equal measure, that does not use Discord (I prefer a web interface), does not force a specific art style on you, and has tools like inpainting, and goes someway to help with consistency? I am willing to pay.

Tools I have tried and will not use.

Nightcafe - Really good platform. Quality is meh for my type of stuff. Wombo - Started here, very basic and needs you to use one of their art styles. Go without and you get Picasso on acid sort of images. StarryAI - Also good, but can't seem to get the right quality.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

At my work, they recently cleared out the lost and found and were going to trash stuff. I ended up with a clean practically new iPad. The previous owner was not contactable for over a year. He left his Apple details on and his passcode was 12345 (I kid you not). I want to unlock it from his Apple account so that I can hard reset it. What can I do here?

*Edit: So, after exploring it a bit more, I found a password list in the Passwords. Literally, the first password I put in was the correct one. Lol. It has been freed.
