Apple TV is the usual recommendation.

IEC isn’t great, hence you get a cage around them to hold them in for critical use.

Perhaps you are just not careful with things, I’ve been an early adopter and never broken one ( I probably have at least 40 different ones, some of which get plugged/unplugged multiple times a day).

My kids haven’t broken a single one either and they destroyed plenty of lightning cables.

This looks great. Going to give it a try.

Its just a stupid headline isnt it, I am British born and knew about it but then again I also live in Sweden and like learning about history.

Mine did until I turned it off, and on an early software version it would do it at full acceleration of the car - and considering it has over 600 horsepower was really terrifying. It also slowed down violently once, misreading a sign on the motorway.

Well in the area of Sweden I live in a particular company seems to own the fibre, and then they have to allow access to resell it. The company owning the fibre has been finding interesting extra ways of charging me extra fees over the years and I don't have a choice of moving away from them (except paying for commercial fibre or using slower 5G with quotas)

It’s an alternative, but for the majority not a good alternative (unless you go the OSMC Vero route). I have tried doing this ever since it’s been possible to play video back on a PC (and before that I used SGI’s, and Macs with external video solutions) and continue to try it with many devices and hardware configurations. An Apple TV is easier to maintain and the quality of output is great.

The only thing not so great with Apple TV are the solutions for local media playback, OSMC and a Vero V is a better solution for that.

For reference I do this both for fun and work professionally in video workflow and pipeline solutions for 25+ years.

We must be operating in completely different circles, because I can’t remember the last time I came across someone that didn’t prefer buttons in a lot of sensible scenarios.

Try Ocenaudio - I’ve used pretty much every audio editor free and paid for and this is my go to for a free editor.

I also cannot understand why anyone would recommend Audacity.

I remember these very well from when they first came out, I particularly liked Keyboards and Computer Music and would spend ages working out what synth/drum machine that they had tried to draw as they somewhat abstracted the design away.

Loved them and they really did spark an interest in taking music and computing more seriously.

You are correct. (Had it verified years ago in Europe and the US).

Same here. I love it, I have lots of “normal” equipment as well but it’s not quite as fulfilling as modular.

The only slight downside is I often do it on my own away from the family.

Do you mean because you can’t use Elixir/Phoenix for work? Because I don’t quite understand, doing a big project and learning/using a particular tech stack should have many transferable skills.

The drywall wall is stronger, heavier thicker stuff and sometimes doubled up. We also often use steel work as the studs (particularly good professionals) as it’s stronger and faster than wood to put up. Then all the wiring is in conduits, and it’s acceptable to put water feeds on the outside of walls in the room for servicing. Then it comes to our bathrooms which are proper wet rooms and usually built to a very high standard to meet insurance needs.

I watch a lot of building videos from the US, it’s eyeopening watching for someone used to better construction methods.

The construction of UK inner walls is even better, it”s often plaster applied on plasterboard/drywall usually by skilled trades. Very strong.

Would love to see this. Though I wonder if Bambu will try and shut it down

Looks great, going to download and try it. Thanks!

I also like Jenkins. I think you can turn it into a mess, but in the right hands it’s a powerful tool.

Similar but not quite. One of the problems that you might face is a lot of tutorials are for Ableton, Logic, Cubase etc. It shouldn't actually matter, but you might find it confusing what you can and cant do if you are following what someone else is doing in another program. It’s like learning C# from a Java course. Once you understand the fundamentals it does not matter what you use within reason.

But I’ve used Ardour a long time ago and I don’t see why you couldn’t release music with it. Another alternative is Reaper.

If it makes you feel any better I’ve had to buy back cables that I have thrown away because I hadn’t used them for 15 years - and then found a project where I need DB9, SCSI, FireWire 800, Component to VGA converter or some relic.

Another reason they call me the cable guy at home ( though mainly because I probably have at least 800 cables in my studio )

Might travel down from Stockholm in a couple of months. Too few nights like this in Sweden (Hosoi can be quite good though).

I've been using Cursor with the Swift Extension. Works really nicely, but sometimes I switch to Xcode to do some tasks such as testing that it works to build.

As a European it took me a few seconds to parse.

Nonsense formatting.

People are putting their whole infrastructure onto HA - cars, Apple/Google/other accounts, integrations to grid companies, managing ESP software etc..

I think that has more potential for problems than turning lights on and off and warrants strong security.

Yeah that was a very interesting thing to learn. When my room was being tuned (after being built to a specification for acoustics) the acoustician then actually tuned in several switchable curves because it was so flat in response he wanted to make it sound more natural to work in.

Speakers often use materials that degrade over time unfortunately. For example electronics in the crossover, foam, glue, and depending on the environment paper.

Except from what I remember Bose audio stuff is measurable bad by any standards (its been a while since I even took note). Their noise cancelling was good in the past though.

My personal experience of Bose PA and HiFi equipment is that is belongs in the trash.

Alpine used to leave performance on the table by default. Something to do with the compiler having a lot of safe options and not using some CPU extensions at the time.

Don’t know whether it is the case anymore, but it’s something I proved in the past and then engineering deployed minimal Debian instead because it ended up being cheaper.

In Stockholm there is one taxi company that has always been better called “Taxi Stockholm”, quality cars with great experienced drivers and good service. It was a premium though. They have a good app as well.

Getting in anything else is variable, from good to being completely ripped off paying three times more and being driven all over the city to rack up miles. There are even services that make the signs on the cars look like Taxi Stockholm - so you get in the wrong car.

Ride sharing means that I can get in anything and at least get home in one of the shortest routes or not pay over what I should. Still prefer Taxi Stockholm.

In other cities ridesharing equalizes the experience.

Took down my Pioneer Kuro a couple of weeks ago. OLED is so good now.

Agree with the in store crap and all the processing that’s turned on for the TVs on display. But brightness is useful - can help combat ambient light, and HDR can look amazing.
