If you have a WordPress site, just go to “Add New Plug-In” and search for “Broken Image Checker”. You can learn more about this helpful plugin here. Here’s the…

So many young adults and high-schoolers seem to be disheartened with the rise of AI in tech. Those young minds who LOVE to write code are being dissuaded to even bother studying the art of software development and learning how to create entire systems.

This would reduce school operational costs and the toil of needing teachers to enter every parent car’s student…

Mautic 6.0 hanging after installation often indicates an issue with the update process, particularly if updating through the browser.

TL;DR: Importing animations, especially for characters can get tricky but it’s getting easier. I’ve seen a lot of tutorials about Blender and Mixamo but this is the best so far imo. In two steps you can import any Mixamo animation and extend it to loop properly. Just follow this tutorial by Balu Prime! This was the easiest, pain free way to import Mixamo animations into Blender.

No longer do I feel Microsoft looks at my PHP/Python/MySQL/MongoDB…
