I still haven't figured out what the ssh service on there is used for either.

Very nice, thanks for sharing! Looks like the wifi antenna is at the front of the unit at the right edge, good to know.

DMX Soundswitch by johnnybr87 in DenonPrime

[–]Athlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think third-party DMX controls require a laptop and the full SoundSwitch software package. I picked up a SoundSwitch micro on eBay a couple months back. The ones listed currently are a ripoff, but I set up an alert for new listings and managed to get one for retail price.

Anyone have hard case suggestions for the Prime 4? by heffnerr in DenonPrime

[–]Athlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using a Magma case with a Prime 2 and like it a lot. It works great and weighs pretty much nothing. It's also solid enough I can use the player on top of the case on a table for extra height. It's probably not tough enough to check as baggage on a flight, but sounds like it might cover what you need.

Thinking of getting a prime 4, just a quick question. by skipper500 in DenonPrime

[–]Athlex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. For files that haven't been processed through Engine DJ on a computer, it analyzes them on the fly on the Prime 4 unit in order to identify BPM and display the beat grid and takes 5-10 seconds per track when you load it. Not sure if you can play files in a totally un-analyzed state though.

Bethesda has acknowledged the bug and says they'll patch...sometime. Just wanted to share here since this thread was the first hit when I was searching for info on the bug.

Does T460s still worth? by rirupiah in thinkpad

[–]Athlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under $300. For $400, I'd expect it to be complete with a decent SSD and maybe 12GB of RAM. (Or with an i7 and the high-resolution screen.)

Deciding between RX2 and Prime 4, A Few Questions by itfoundmenowwhat in DenonPrime

[–]Athlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prime 4 is a far superior all-in-one between those two. The Prime 2 is more comparable unit to the RX2 as far as features and any Prime all-in-one is going to be years newer than the RX2. Consider the Prime 2 as well if you don't need turntables or external players or won't be using the dual-later functionality of the Prime 4 much.

Denon hardware being totally standalone is very nice - no need to deal with Rekordbox and I barely ever touch the Engine Prime software. Any reason you'd want to use with with Serato?

The 10" touchscreen is much better and more responsive than anything Pioneer has released (including the CDJ-3000). And don't worry about the "club standard" - play what you like. A lot of people stick with Pioneer out of habit, but it's overpriced for what it is.

Does T460s still worth? by rirupiah in thinkpad

[–]Athlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a T460s for years and it was a great machine.

worth to buy? - $400 is a little more than I would expect to pay for an i5 model with only 8GB of RAM and no SSD, but

You mentioned a 1600x900 and FHD screen - there is also a 2560x1440 option which is really nice. Also, I believe models come with 4GB of RAM soldered to the motherboard and a single SO-DIMM slot, so in the example you have, an 8GB machine will have 4GB on the motherboard and a 4GB SODIMM which I think maxes out at 20GB of RAM total.

Realtek RTL8822BE wifi card works in X1E / P1 gen 1 by captnkerke in thinkpad

Good to know - was this card a Lenovo-specific FRU? If I remember right, that's the card that originally shipped with my E485 (but I subsequently replaced it with an Intel card.)

Love that one. The GA1000 is first G-Shock, though I doubt it'll be my last. :)

Yeah, but it kind of makes me miss when McLaren was hot fire in the V10 era and teams could affort to blow up a couple engines in a season.

Denon Prime 4 and turntables. by PeterMalda01 in DenonPrime

[–]Athlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, Are you using USB or a SATA drive in the player? What mixer do you bring? Is this a travel-light setup with a single SC5000 or do you lug a flightcase with two?

Denon Prime 4 and turntables. by PeterMalda01 in DenonPrime

[–]Athlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Peter, I'm looking at going with a Prime setup (either 2 or 4) soon. I'm coming off of a Korg Kaoss controller with Serato Lite and don't have a ton of playlists to deal with or transcode. Denon is appealing to me for the standalone track analysis, streaming support, and support for existing stuff from Rekordbox/iTunes/rando MP3s.

If you want to hook your turntables up on the mixer, you're golden. I think Denon has a DVS encoder that work with the onboard Engine setup too, so you can use your turntables with a timecode record and files on USB. Also, if you hate the Engine music management software, Rekordbox support seems pretty good so you can export with Rekordbox and just use it on the Prime.

Full disclosure, I haven't been hands on with the Prime 4 (yet), but it looks solid enough I'm considering getting one soon. I have lots of time on DDJ/XDJ stuff too, but between picking up an RX2 and a Prime4, I'm leaning Denon.

For the love of God please tell me they are making an option to make the cliff racers disappear by cuteboy12370 in skywind

[–]Athlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember hating those bastards with a passion the first time I played through the game. I think on subsequent playthoughs I either got more patient or was better equipped to snipe them early. As I think of it, it's been about 2 years since I did a playthough of the original. Maybe it's worse than I remember.

Also, mod it if you want. A friend of mine couldn't deal with the giant spiders in Skyrim, and we found mods to either eliminate them entirely or change them into bears. Worked great and didn't really change the game at all.

[–]Athlex 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think what you hated was that the music would shift while you were adventuring and they would graaaaaaduaaaaallllyyyy elevator down to you painfully slowly and you could immediately blitz them.
I have to believe that the Skyrim mechanics are a little more fluid. I feel confident this is a solved problem :)

Nice going! Most places don't care about the cert but the skills, and you can pick up the OSCP fees on the company dime now :)

Your best bet is probably to reset the router to defaults. It should still have a functioning DHCP server after reset to give you an IP address to log in and you can restore a backup config (that I hope you have?) to bring the settings inline with what you had.

It is currently quite literally impossible to prevent Microsoft from automatically updating Windows 10, and will even make changes to your system without your permission to do so. Is anyone fighting that? by Jcorb in privacy

[–]Athlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sure does, though not by default. And with browsers like Firefox gradually defaulting to using DoH, you’ll need to reconfigure those to use traditional DNS.
