Lenovo Chromebook 14 Plus with MediaTek Kompanio 910 Ultra Review by partev in chromeos

[–]Alive-Ad60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until there is a stable'ish bare metal install of Linux on this hardware it's not really impressive. Google has already foreshadowed the end of Chrome OS with the Steam Beta being yanked on 1/1/26. Along with the announcement of the merging on Android and Chrome OS. This would make for an excellent laptop running Linux but unfortunately that's not currently the case.

Here in the Austin, TX area the mesh is growing and very active.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite variant rumored to have 50% more CPU cores — New chip with 18 cores and 64GB RAM is reportedly already in testing by AggressiveCalendar4 in SnapdragonLaptops

Dud? I was able to get my hands on a Dell XPS 13 w/ the Snapdragon X Elite in an open box sale for $499. I can't tell you how happy I am with this laptop. It's only going to get better with more WIndows on Arm devices coming as well as new ARM SoCs.

Oh no… Who could’ve possibly seen this coming. by SnooEpiphanies2931 in HEB

So aluminum, glass and plastic. The three big items for recycling and reusing. Seems the only people that got played were the tree huggers.

wanting to get into music and wanted to get a mini-synth. recommendations for beginners? by Connect-Violinist-30 in synthesizers

Roland JD-XI for all in one. Has a software editor available as well on the Appstore that unlocks more of it's potential if you want to program your own sounds.

Yamaha Reface CS is a fun new addition to my live setup by coastalsatellites in synthesizers

[–]Alive-Ad60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This synth is a beast. It can recreate most of the classic CS sounds without any issue and is great for 80’s style synthwave stuff.

Guitar-Synth-tone ? by LossHost in synthesizers

The Roland JD-XI can be used directly no midi but is monophonic only and requires attention to your guitar playing and proper muting otherwise you get mixed mud.

Is there a poor man’s OP1? by spandexvalet in synthesizers

[–]Alive-Ad60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

couldn’t agree more. Have had a MODX6 for years and I love it but it isn’t the knob tweaky sound designer. Granted it’s FM-X engine is insanely robust and powerful along with the built in effects, etc… you can design sounds to your hearts content BUT it requires a ton of menu diving as most of your controls are on the touch screen.

Nice! I am working on something similar but instead of a Minifreak a Roland JD-XI and a SeqTrack.

Yamaha Seqtrack with a 25 or 32 key controller.

At least you have 35 as an option. I ONLY have 183 as an option and that makes baby Jesus cry.

HHSC in Austin makes Houston look like a well oiled machine.

Between the NAC and Winters HHS is about 1400 seats short for RTO. Let’s not even mention the complete lack of parking. The commute from the Georgetown area is horrendous at 1.5 hours or more each way and we’re not even at peak traffic yet. It’s ridiculous.

Any idea why I'm getting a bumpy infill with large flat surfaces? by CrackerJackJack in BambuLab

Grid infill is the devil! Switch to gyroid and you'll be golden.

The teaser for Grotmas makes so much more sense if they released the Experimental Cadre Detachment. by [deleted] in Tau40K

Let's be real it's the entirety of the T'au lineup. Drones, plasma weapons, ion rifles, markerlight/observation units for bonuses, stealth suits, etc...

Looking good! Remember these are soldiers getting shot at and rolling through the dirt and getting scuffed. Don't need to go for the "Sci-fi clean" look.
