Computer Repair

What if the ancient mystics were right all along, and modern technology is finally catching up? In this session we'll explore the Simulation Hypothesis: the idea that our reality might be a simulation. We are using Rizwan Virk's book partly as a source for this session. We'll look at the convergence between Eastern philosophy (Maya, the Buddhist concept of illusion), Western philosophy (Plato's Cave, Descartes' demon), quantum physics, and video game technology. Whether you find the idea compelling or absurd, it's an interesting lens through which to examine what we mean by "reality". This session will be led by Amelia and James. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever if you want to. **Our events fill up very quickly.

We organise a watercolour workshop for beginners; The teacher is an advanced graphic designer and painter Tiana Diakova, whose works you can check on Instagram: @diakova_art.

The workshop is adapted to a beginner's level (every time people who never painted before are surprised with the result they achieve!) But also the process will be interesting for those who draw or paint already. For architects, designers, and illustrators it's a good way to discover a new technique and material and make new contacts) All materials are included so there is no need to bring anything. The process will take 2-2,5 hours.

Hola a todos!! En esta ocasión vamos a,abordar un tema muy interesante que nos afecta a todos. Mecanismos de defensa la imperfección perfecta. Por qué son mecanismos de defensa? Pues porque nos ayudan a protegernos y sentirnos seguros. Por qué es la imperfección perfecta? Porque aunque no nos guste sentir de forma que nos saque de nuestro bienestar y zona de confort, nos es totalmente útil en ese momento para sobrevivir, adaptarnos y evolucionar. Vamos a exponer como se manifiestan y como podemos cambiar nuestros patrones. Un viaje a tomar más conciencia, presencia y responsabilidad de uno mismo. Restaurante Nova Galicia C/Calabria número 224 Metro L-5 estación de Entenza. Sábado 17 de enero a las 19h. Facilitado por : Jorge Martínez Kinesiologia Holística , Constelaciones Familiares y Psicotarot. Os esperamos!!

Most TBC Improv courses are 8-weeks, *this one is **different***! For those who want to expand their skills in a certain area, you can dip in where you feel necessary. Each class is a standalone theme so you can take 1, 2, 3, or 4 - and of course, we think they're *all* equally important!Together in this series we will explore the skills of improv at a deeper level. We'll look at specific applications and play with differing concepts, to strengthen your improv tool belt. This is a supportive and fun environment where you can relax into silliness! Each class will include games and exercises to get us feeling loose and inspire fun, and then dive us into the topic of the day. You will be on your feet, active, trying and playing - laughs are guaranteed! ### **Class Topics:** ### **About the *Genres: Building Worlds Through Style* workshop** Step into new worlds and play with the rules that define them. This workshop explores how genre shapes tone, relationships, and storytelling—from film noir to rom-com, fantasy to realism. Learn to recognise and heighten stylistic conventions, switch effortlessly between genres, and let style spark fresh discoveries. Whether you love grounded scenes or big theatrical worlds, you’ll expand your range and have a blast doing it. We'll look at key tropes and ideas then exlpore a few of the crowd favourite genres! ### **About the *Environment as Scene Partner* workshop** Your setting isn’t just background—it’s a character waiting to be discovered. In this workshop, you’ll learn to bring invisible worlds to life through physicality, object work, and shared imagination. Explore how environment can shape mood, emotion, and relationship dynamics, and how treating space as your scene partner can unlock depth, clarity, and playfulness in every moment. ### **About the *Flow & Tempo* workshop** Keep your scenes alive, balanced, and dynamic. This workshop dives into the rhythm of improv—when to slow down, when to build energy, and how to sense the natural flow of a scene. Through energising exercises and mindful play, you’ll explore pace, timing, and responsiveness. Find the sweet spot between calm confidence and lively momentum, and discover how great scenes breathe. ### **About the *Game of the Scene – an Overview & Intro* workshop** Find what’s fun and play it hard. This workshop introduces the concept of “game of the scene”—spotting the unusual thing, heightening it, and building comedic clarity together. You’ll explore patterns, point of view, and playful escalation without getting stuck in your head. Whether you’ve heard the term before or are totally new to it, you’ll leave with practical tools to make your scenes clearer, funnier, and more collaborative. **Our TBC Course Structure Explained:** Our courses and classes have 2 defining numbers. The first number defines the ***level***. **1**00 series - **Introductory** **2**00 series - **Intermediate** **3**00 series - **Advanced** **4**00 series - **Specliased** Other - **Electives** (varying levels) Then the 01, 02, 03 etc. defines the ***type*** of class.1**01** **Intro** to Improv \(building blocks\) \|1**02** Intro to **Shortform** \|1**03** Intro to **Longform** This class series is in our Electives series, and will be taking you through various core topics of improv. You can then use these skills to advance in short or longform formats. **What have our past students said ?** " A part of me didn't want the class to finish. It was such great experience and it really helped me to explore the different area of my brain." " Thanks for the 101 it was so muchlies fun." " Really so grateful that I hopped into this class - the learning has been great and this has been some much needed joy, silliness and connection with new pals." **Your teachers:** **Lauren Berning** is the founder of international brand [TBC Improv](https://www.tbcimprov.com/ "https://www.tbcimprov.com") ([UK](https://www.tbcimprov.com/unitedkingdom "https://www.tbcimprov.com/unitedkingdom"), [Hong Kong](https://www.tbcimprov.com/hongkong "https://www.tbcimprov.com/hongkong") and [Barcelona](https://www.tbcimprov.com/spain "https://www.tbcimprov.com/spain")).

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.
