This was for the purpose of regaining access to an account. I was the one making the request, so the burden was on me to provide satisfactory evidence. As I was the one initiating the process, concern of fraud on their end was considerably lower. American drivers licenses are not useful...

I've already had to use identity validation services that included steps like "we're going to video call you and you need to hold your passport up to the screen next to your face while we ask you questions" so there are ways to do it if the company cares enough. But with all the AI generated...

As you said old Win7 laptop, I'd assume it is a 2.5" drive with a SATA interface? That does limit things a bit, but there are good options out there. My first stop would be Samsung, probably the 870 Evo. In my experience SSDs are in general much more reliable than anything with moving parts...

Re: The drone video that Merc linked above. This video goes into more engineering details.

Training someone is easy. The two-way communication helps quickly identify holes in their knowledge base and get them up to speed. The hard part is in one-way communication. If you need to describe a complex topic in a brief to someone outside that industry, assuming nearly no prior knowledge...

Where to start is frequently a hurdle for me. I find it much easier to start with a page that has some words on it, even if I end up changing all of them. I am very grateful that I don't have to worry about my documents conforming to someone else's template, doubly-grateful that it doesn't need...

I use it as inspiration for most writing projects. Any time I'm doing a proposal or sales letter I have ChatGPT put together something and then I work from there. It is unlikely that any of the AI phrases or concepts survive to the finished product, but it gives me a framework if I am stumped.

I think that any amount of additional thermal mass attached to the SSDs will increase the time before thermal throttling. I would be cautious of filling all the space between the drives and the chassis with something that won't deform; you don't want the force of any drop transferring directly...

Also: There may be a software tool to manually adjust the fan speeds. They probably only ramp automatically with the CPU and GPU temperatures. If you can turn them to max manually it may help cool the drives.

I think their lifespan may be shortened, but that likely won't happen during your time using the machine. I feel there are three solutions to this: 0. Nothing - It is probably fine, just know that it slows down after a while. 1. (Reasonable) Behavioral - Change your workflow to only load the...

Not good, but funny.

I do know someone who uses a Red as a webcam...... ;)

In that form factor this also looks interesting. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/dk/products/blackmagicmicrostudiocamera

That is interesting, thanks for thinking of me. $1k for 4/3 is pretty steep. I would hope for at least APS-C for that. But I do like the form factor and would go for it if it were cheaper or had a larger sensor.
