The Nvidia Shield seems to be the gold standard, but it’s kind of pricey. I’m using a Raspberry Pi (2? 3?) running LibreElec with the Jellyfin plugin. It works great for video but has some issues with music playlists. You could also try a cheap Onn box from Walmart.

Sorry, I’m not sure - like I said, I’m on a Pi.

It’s a real dilemma.

Good call. I have some old suede slippers sitting around that I was going to use for strops - but if there’s enough material I could use them for this. The bass I made it for contacts the spine at its metal neckplate, so that doesn’t need cushioning, but the body does.

It would be improved by some googly eyes.
But then, what wouldn’t?

Thank you! It was made specifically for a Fender P bass, which is not particularly delicate. I have another one with a different design that I made for my acoustic, but that stand is more of a prototype made out of pine and not as impressive.
I do like the idea of moving the ‘head’ forward so it cradles the neck. I only just had enough stock to make this (well, without cutting into some bigger, nicer boards) so I didn’t have a lot of room for features or experimentation.

Better light outside and the patio was a mess.

I’m pretty happy with Pixels for the moment, so it’s a $5 USB-C to 1/8" dongle for me. That or the Pixel Buds I got for free as as promo with the phone. I’ve never had to charge and use the converter at the same time, but I believe there are cheap dongles that can do that too.

you are better off buying xiaomi/poco

If they have the cell bands you want in the US - which they don’t necessarily.

6.1 inches while still too large is actually usable.

That’s what she said.

If the crashes are seemingly at random when transcoding I would suspect overheating hardware. Transcoding uses more energy and produces more heat than playing directly. If it were a software issue it would either work or not.

Bloom is the grounds offgassing carbon dioxide. The darker the roast, the greater the bloom. When you’re brewing in a filter or a French press you can watch the grounds bubble up and expand as the gas is released.

If you’re into Aeropress and want to experiment, check out the Aeromatic app. It has dozens of recipes and uses a timer to step you through them. You’ll need a scale. It also tries to account for the grind size you get from your particular model of grinder. I’m not sure how accurate its compensation is, but it should get you in the ballpark.

I use an ancient guitar tuner app called Pitch Lab. Tiny, no ads. It’s great. If they don’t kill it this round it feels like it will be soon.
Anyone have a suggestion for a replacement?

Thanks. FWIW there are a couple of apps called Tuner on F-Droid. The one by Michael Moessner seems to be better maintained.

Shit. I did the crossword, not the jumble. Give me a sec.

Quick! Someone tell us why this isn’t a good thing because the government did it! Surely there’s some secret corruption at work!

You can already do this, but it’s not at all intuitive. So I’m glad they’re making it easier.

It’s like a Sokal Hoax for STEM.

‘splurging’ on a dumb tv

This might not be the best advice if money is an object, but some LG OLEDs can be rooted simply by visiting a website:
rootmy.tv
So you get a top-quality screen and complete control over the software.
Personally, I’ve never connected my LG OLED to the internet and it works just great.

I’ve got a cable DVR and a Raspberry Pi running LibreElec plugged into it.
I’ve only experimented a little with gaming since I don’t own a console and my PC is in another room. I had the whatever the Steam software is installed on the Pi for awhile, so I could stream games from the PC.
