Guys im conflicted on what to do

I bought an Ipod using a proxy service, and the seller left out that the drive was corrupted. I've gotten far enough into the process that they will consider a refund. The catch is I have to pay to have it shipped back to there warehouse.

I live in the states their warehouse is in Japan, am I just better off selling it for parts at this point? Hard drive is the only thing wrong with it battery seems fine and screen is in good shape.

Payed about $120 for everything

>>
>>107854103
true story. reddit is fucked.
many such cases.
>>
>>107854649
so pay more money for someone to fix it, pay for extra storage, and pay to have it shipped back. Doesn't sound like a great deal. Unless you know of a trusted modder or company that offers a good service I think this thing is gonna be more work then its worth. Hence why im debating on if shipping it back is worth it

Just start with the basics. You should get a handle on the 12 principles of animation, that's where you start. If you were to do a college course that's the entry level tasks everyone does (it's what I did as a student too). Look at the examples of Level 1 exercises here (swap out "3. Brick falling from a shelf onto the ground" for a bowling ball bounce, that's usually the typical exercise for weight): https://www.animatorisland.com/51-great-animation-exercises-to-master/
Look up some references on youtube, it will explain some of these concepts to you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_basic_principles_of_animation
Student year 1 showreels are a good thing to look for on youtube too.
Don't worry about character animation for the moment, just focus on understanding these. Once you feel a bit confident with them, then you could do a small animation (like expressions, or a character walk, just basic things). Here is a good site for references and ideas: https://www.sakugabooru.com/post
And yeah, you can technically be good at animation while not being good at drawing (3D and 2D rigs come to mind as an example). Some people can make really fluid animation even if their drawing skills are not very good. But generally speaking you need a really good grasp on anatomy and perspective to be able to fully animate well.

That's the TrueDepth camera. In addition to being used for Face ID it's also used for Attention Awareness - basically it checks every few seconds or so to see if your eyes are still fixed on the screen so that if you're using the phone I actively — say, staring at something or reading a long passage of text — you wont have to keep touching the display to keep it from turning off. It's not really a photo per se and it doesn't get stored anywhere.

Scanning an array of a few hundred rectangular coordinates to determine which a point is in doesn't take that long, and that would be a total outlier of a GUI layout. Usually there's a lot of recursive decomposition going on behind the scenes, which makes everything much faster.
The trick is that that array scan is pretty damn cache friendly.
>>
>>107849744
ok, then benchmark it.
overall, if rendering takes 1000x more time than a collision check (mainly due to drawing text being quiet expensive), you will not be able to handle enough UI elements before a brute force collision check becomes a problem.
you are not going to use raw inputs for UI, it's purely for 3D mouse look.
you wont have many elements.
if you had a lot of elements, you should look at imgui, because to me it sounds like you are making a debug tool or editor.

>>107845794

>>107854254
also I am not saying that you should optimize rendering code.
your intuition says that you should only update small things that change.
but if you are updating data every frame (like a button hover animation or something), it turns out that it's faster to just redraw everything from scratch when dealing with small numbers of elements (it has something to do with sync points and Buffer Object Streaming, basically you can't update memory that is currently being drawn or else you stall, but you can let the driver make new memory instead by redrawing everything in that buffer + various other techniques).
But I batch my entire UI in opengl into a few drawcalls.
I split the drawcall when drawing large blocks of text so I can reuse the memory, and for scroll boxes since I use glScissor (because I am too lazy to trim vertices).
Batching is tricky to do since this means everything is in one texture (the font, icons, etc, let's not talk about unicode...).
If you can't batch it, it's better to reuse the buffer (and I interleave all the data into one buffer, if you know you are only updating one attribute, you could split up the buffers, I interleave because it's less code and it's only for UI).
So if you are optimizing stuff, just remember to actually benchmark it, or instead if you are lazy, stick to the most simple solution that does everything that you need (because a simple solution usually becomes a complicated mess when you try to add features to it, but the simple solution also ends up being the fastest code in some scenarios).
And the best part of starting off simple, is that you can rewrite it for speed, and you can keep it as a reference because you can benchmark it so you can feel good when you can say you got a % improvement, instead of an imaginary improvement (or worse, making it slower, happens more than you think...).
This is all autism however, a library like SDL_Renderer or Raylib is more than enough for a UI with 50 elements running at 1000+fps.

Well, that is security by obscurity, bassically you're hoping noone notices and wants to steal data from you.
Locksmiths had the same idea, and they considered it a grave sin when someone revealed the mechanism of the lock, arguing it only allows thiefs to have easier access to the knowledge and thus making it easier to bypass them.
In reality thiefs already understood the lock mechanism, and this policy only prevented further development in the security of locks to their benefit.

If you use gmail google will sell you out at the first opprotunity, if I have my own mail server I stick out, but with proper configuration I am more secure.

It is bassically impossible to steal data from me except via coercion, no matter how much I stick out.
it is better stick out and be secure rather then be obscure and unsecure.

Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.

You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.
