As much as I’m annoyed by people talking loudly into their phone (bonuspoints if it’s on speaker ofc) I actually enjoy the sound of someone speaking into their phone at a low volume. I’m waiting for the sidevaxxx to kick in and there’s an Italian girl across me speaking softly into her phone and it’s so soothing.

Finally caught the the giant moth that has been stalking me since last Friday and put it outside but now realize it faces certain death and feel remorseful.

Thanks for the advice @user and @TubularCorporation.
I tried opening the QY100 and it's definitely not the case that the connector is loose from the board or anything like that, so this is what makes me think the connector itself may be faulty somehow.
Could it be that the solder joint goes cold even without it being loose?
I might have a soldering iron around here somewhere so might be worth a shot to try and reheat it.
That could very well be afaik. If you have a multimeter lying around you could check continuity between the solder joint and the connector. Without a multimeter It'd be difficult/cumbersome to establish. Don't know if the despicable Action stores have invaded France yet but over here they sell a multimeter that costs around 3,- I believe and will pay for itself in the studio quite quickly even if you use it only occasionally to check on possible broken cables and battery voltages.
Another consideration is to get a toothbrush and give both the connector on the QY100 and the connector on your adapter a right old scrubbing, maybe either end is just a bit oxidized or something.

Trump made toxic masculinity and machismo part of the conservative anti-vax ethos, remember what a big deal he made out of reaching the top of the stairs and taking his mask off? Men don’t want to admit when they’re wrong, especially if they think they’re gonna hear “we told you so”. They’re not all men, but some conservative and anti-vax women can adopt the opinions of their male partners, like any couple.
There's plenty of idiotic free-spirited Patchouli stinking baggy yogapants wearing dumb as fuck single women over here dude. Also that's a pretty sexist thing to say, women really don't need men to be idiots.

Is it just me or does music on watmm feel like a never ending circlejerk where you have a couple of artists that are a bit past their prime time and visiting their subforums feel like waiting in front of a public restroom for someone to finish (aphex really gives me this feeling a lot) while on the other hand you have artists that have been suggested first on lastfm then Spotify for decades when listening to warp artists that get posted here as well. So as this is interesting it rarely offers something new to the table. The only new bands that got a hype here recently are basically aphex / boc coverbands that fill the void with their interpretation of the well known.
At the same time there is a very vibrant and innovative Bandcamp scene that nobody here seems to notice.
You’re aware of the more general music discussion sub forum and new releases sub forum? Also what decades old forum doesn’t feel like a circle jerk in some way? Want me to stick a finger up your ass for a change?

I’m not too well versed in pc world but one thing to consider, although you might well have already done this, going tower instead of laptop will generally get you a lot more bang for your buck.

I think it depends on where the fault lies; dry solder joint, damage to the pcb pad through mechanical stress or the connector failing or something else entirely. Dry solder joint would be the easiest, if the connector is lifting off the board you could solder in a jumper wire, add some heat shrink for durability perhaps. If the connector itself is becoming damaged then I’d say it’s up to the pcb being single or double sided in how easy it would be to desolder and find a suitable replacement.
Didn’t watch the video btw.
You’re travelling with the qy, right? If you’re not already doing so make sure to disconnect the barrel connector and anything else before putting it in a bag.
Watched the video now. To me it seems like a viable fix if you don’t have a drop in replacement available or don’t want to desolder anything.

Some leftover Indian food. As an exciting bonus I’m about to find out wether the short-lived but very violent and somewhat painful bout of diarrhoea I had yesterday was caused by this food directly or my body fucking me and itself for not having received any notable sustenance for a day or two and then being presented with a buttery and spicy emulsion of chicken and lentils and such and just going “fuck this shit”. Very tasty!

Sounds like an FWS to me.
My FWP, Sun Aug 8, 2021(By Zephyr Nova)
After breaking my phone last week and buying a new one, I was given a new monthly plan with a bit less data on it. Because I am dumb, I did not realize the "bit less data" was substantially less than I need for my job. Furthermore, I can only update my plan once a month. So I'm stuck topping it up for $25 a pop until the 15th. I've had to do this twice already in 3 days.
My contract renews every 2 years or so and for the first time in history the provider suggests a cheaper plan with less data even though I usually max out on my current plan.
I wonder if the undoubtedly AI generated/based plan suggestions providers make are by default a plan that has just a little less data than you’d normally use as this results in a greater profit for the company plus more client interactions.
Or are we looking at a global data shortage? Possibly caused by 5G waves being pulled out of their ethereal trajectory by hordes of hypermagnetic vaxdrones, creating evanescent fields where parasitic astral radiation manifests? It’d be nice if providers would at least offer some transparency about the reasoning behind their weird plan suggestions, imho.

It seems that I’ve developed a new pattern where every 6 months my back gets fucked and I’m out of commission for 5 days or so and have a moderately painful aftermath that lasts for about 2 months. It always comes at the most inconvenient time. This time I just started a new job and although it’s with people I already know and everything’s cool it bothers the shit out of me that I have to miss a bunch of days and postpone stuff that I wanted to have done by now. Also the pain and the fact that I have to get up and move and do stretches/exercises at least every 30 minutes makes it difficult to make any good use of my time. Aaargh.

Still very baffled by the fact Covid/Mask/Vaccine are politicized. Still very baffled that its perceived as this world order elite regime invention and conspiration.
When you take the virus in itself, it's an objectively existing dangerous illness with objectively existing preventions methods and solutions not that much different from any other medical conditions. Not very complicated. If youre not careful its transmitted. Vaccine help to prevent transmission and illness. Lockdown controls it. For me, its the same as a broken arm and a plaster cast to fix it, or a cancer, or any other medical conditions.
Should be quite simple to understand. Yet....because it has a global scale and it's an invisible virus, it complicate things, lots of sphere of human activity become affected and it really breakdown quickly.
Human like to complicate things i guess. Seems to happen every now and then from what ive read about past pandemics, anti-maskers and conspiration just pop up... it seems part of it is almost inevitable to some degree. We have to do the best we can, compliance will never be 100% even in things like deadly viruses. Human diversity inevitably brings chaos and divergence even in simple things like pineapple on pizza so a global scale virus...
The thing is of course the virus thrives on this chaos and must be really grateful of our lack of coordination and chaotic strategy to fight it as a species.
Yeah, but no, but yeah. The thing is that the Corona virus is real but it is not nearly as dangerous as they want you to think. They just took this opportunity to start mass social experiments and exercise further control over citizens. People have a blind believe in science and government which is enabled by the mainstream media that are all just mouthpieces of the government and policy makers. This is how they try to set us up against each other while we should be coming together and form a fist against our tyrants. But because science has become faith the people that adhere to it are like religious fanatics which is making it difficult to have them see the error of their ways. Science has been wrong so many times so it’s obviously flawed and things in general are not as great as they could be which means that we’re being exploited and things would be so much better if we overthrow the current system and install a new system that is actually democratic and we all constantly are involved in policy making through the way of referenda. We will simply get the information we need to make informed decisions from the internet, so we can bypass the evil mainstream media and get quality info from people who have only our best interest in mind. The other scientists all have mixed interests or are being manipulated, but this diffuse group of people that is made up of anonymous sources, random internet posters and old white emiratis posting their monetised news/talk shows from the dining kitchen of their idyllically situated renovated farm will show the way. If you’re interested I can show you some YouTube videos and you too can know the definite answer to everything instead of being one of those stupid bumbling idiots that keeps changing their mind based on false new information. Seriously, they are just trying to cause panic, don’t listen to these evil blood drinking devil worshippers that try to manipulate and control us. Everything is fine, we can basically keep the status quo as long as we vote the right people into office to overthrow the malicious elite that is exploiting us and we can all just go back to our daily jobs and normal lives the way we’re used to.
This is basically what I’ve been able to distill from hours and hours of irl conversations with people that have “woken up” over the last year or so.-

Where do I change the fov? Also my dude got his foot stuck in the GAS thread and we were calling for help for hours before someone came and now the right side of his face is all weird and glitchy plus some things are missing from his inventory I think.

Do you mean like rides? Can we hear some examples of ironic cymbals? Last question; is it the way the cymbal is played/programmed, the place it occurs or the way it's mixed that makes it ironic?
Took me a long time to get my rides right and not too long after I figured out some programming tricks/swing settings/etc and started getting the mix right I switched daws. So now I usually decide to get rid of the ride.

Hey man, thanks a lot for your webtivism! It’s good to know someone’s got our backs and thanks to your relentless efforts fascism is kept at bay. Some goddamn (excuse my blaspheming) important work you’re doing here, exposing all the other fascists on this board that are trying to seize power. Time well spent, that’s all I can say.

I remember Gerhard Belles saying in an interview that was published around the time Ableton incorporated Cycling '74 that piracy wasn't really a priority for them and he said something along the lines that he himself wasn't too bothered by it.

Heh. The problem was that all these amateur pirates were too unorganized to actually profit from the loot.

I could’ve just responded with “messy nest of wires” but here’s some pics.
Initially I made a version closer to the one in the article but it felt too cramped and when some issues started arising (probably because of inadequate soldering skills) it was very difficult to troubleshoot. Plus I didn’t like the lightweight plastic enclosure sliding around my desk.
This is (hopefully) the inbetween version with dip sockets to try different diodes, or in this case some transistors and the veroboard that I couldn’t be bothered to cut bluetacked to the bottom of the crudely repurposed mixer enclosure. I think I have a dlc file with the wiring/layout on my laptop somewhere, which I would gladly share if it’s of any help.

I'm looking to add a stereo pre-amp to the Mojo Maestro (https://audioxpress.com/article/you-can-diy-build-the-mojo-maestro) I put together a while ago. Preferably based on a TL072 because there's a bunch of those in my stash. The plan is to add some more diodes (finally found some actual, I mean actual, germanium diodes in different flavours), a couple of transistors salvaged from an old obscure hifi amp and a pair of output transformers that I took from a reel to reel that was beyond repair and put it all on a rotary switch so I can select different diode pairs or just go through the transformers.
Of course I googled a bunch but get a bit lost every time looking for "tl072 stereo preamp". Any and all tips, insight or banter welcome

I really want some icecream and perhaps a bag of maltesers but find it hard to get motivated enough to actually go and make the 2 minute trek to the supermarket. The fact that while I’m there I feel I should get some more shopping done which means that I need to think of what to make for dinner tonight makes things impossibly complicated.
I shouldn’t be alive.
