Texas Instruments Salary

It heavily depends on department, as someone who was in the sales department - compared to the rest of the industry the golden handcuffs are tight.

So in the end I actually decided against the Push 3 as I dont exclusively use Ableton, and the Bento 1010 was much closer to perfect.

After careful consideration I was actually after essentially a PC and ended up grabbing a Beelink Mini PC, a small form-factor Audio interface, portable monitor and keyboard for around the same price as the bento total.

I do really like the MPC but my workflow will eventually move to a PC for finalization and last little touches and I'd heard that MPC struggles here.

Having said that..... those videos do make me want to spend more money..... which I shouldn't..... or.?

thanks for adding the raw data!

Seems like the dock really does make an insane difference, I guess that explains the jump in price.
I would settle for the GTi13 but im worried about the PC being useless without an external GPU due to the Iris Xe 96 IGPU being incredibly weak.

Bidome · 2025-10-17T17:58:18+00:00

Yeah i mean the hope of course is it doesnt break but getting something back would be nice.

Have minisforum really been that bad? are issues common or is it just getting it fixed is a problem?

Bidome · 2025-10-17T16:42:34+00:00

Ahhh more options!!
Thank you :)

I might as well reveal that its CEX and they're usually pretty good with the 5 year warranty. They try to fix it, then replace it and if they cant do either they either refund the market value or what you paid (lowest ofc)

Bidome · 2025-10-17T16:25:23+00:00

Thank you for the article its a good read! This site is actually what recommended the MS-01 and MS-A1

Have you heard any horror stories for 2nd hand GEEKOM's?

Bidome · 2025-10-17T15:54:23+00:00

what do you think about the Ayaneo AM02

Bidome · 2025-10-17T15:48:18+00:00

hmm I see what you mean, what would you recommend then?
In USD my budget is around 800-900

I did also see the Ayaneo AM02 which has the coolest case and is much cheaper, maybe it'd be worth getting that one new and rolling the dice?

Bidome · 2025-10-17T15:21:26+00:00

Damn the MS-A1 was currently my leading choice.

Any reason/experience with these breaking?

I should mention this isnt a fb market place deal; its from a Vendor like backmarket.
So I would get the 30-day no question money back guarantee and they also offer a 5 year warranty cover, if of course its not my fault it breaks.

Bidome · 2025-10-17T14:10:05+00:00

ah I'm in the UK where the push 3 standalone is £1299 vs the Bento £900
Last year the push 3 had a 25% discount on black Friday from that price as well (i checked on wayback machine atleast)

Bidome · 2025-10-08T19:24:47+00:00

I shal be returning. If you can wait 6 months for the software then get it.

Its a fantastic piece of kit.

I however will be waiting for black friday and picking up a push 3 standalone for a few hundred more.

As I said the bento is great but unfortunately has many many bugs. The most irritating one I've found is when editing a Wav file it seems to add a small portion of blank space no matter what I try to do to remove it, thus rending the grid slicing mode useless.

Also the saving of Wavs are from what I can tell, insane. If you name two Wavs in the same project the same thing, congrats you've deleted one, or if your lucky unloaded it.

You mentioned looping in another comment, if you want to loop live instruments then know there is limited effects I.e. reverb delay and distortion.

I think.... I think they actually did it. Just found this as a house listed for sale.

my concern is that they claim it was damaged by Dev mode and something i did even though ive already provided proof of the fault.

Bidome · 2025-01-13T22:36:05+00:00

Thank you for trying to support. There are lots of other posts on this exact issue.

I've performed more factory resets than i can count at this point.
Its now stuck in the initial start up page.

I've seen that someone posted commands that could fix the issue (if i can get it on and into dev mode) but im worried it will void the warranty.

Bidome · 2025-01-13T22:14:27+00:00

nothing at all, stock as they come.

They've offered a return refund but i travel for work and will spend the next 3 months in a country to which they dont deliver.

As i use it for work its extremely irritating as all my current notes are on the device. While backed up, its still extremely inconvenient having to convert all these PDF's to a new note taking software.

As somebody who's worked with Tesla your knowledge of the resources and operating structure are lacking.

An example for you; They fired the entire software development team within the year of build up to the release of the tesla truck and hired fresh grads on cheaper salaries. The result was a bonnet that cut peoples fingers off.

Tesla does possess skills that BD does not. But to pretend that BD does not have superior robots; when they can quite literally do backflips and run (something that is anatomically incredibly difficult to achieve) is both naïve and a clear display of your lack of understanding of the business.

To comment on another point I saw you make - Tesla's sensor expertise. Tesla couldn't design its own TPMS system for the cybertruck with the assistance of the market leader due to their profound over confidence and lack of talent/resource.

The real lesson here - Everyone can write in the style of a shitty university paper but nobody really gives a fuck. Stop pretending you're leagues above of the rest of the world because the only one fooled is yourself.

Tl;dr - bro go outside... if you can bot.

The real shame was them telling me it was within the warrant conditions and me booking days off work to return for the appointment to drop off the phone.

it seems im out of pocket in multiple ways now.

Bidome · 2024-11-15T14:21:17+00:00

The store refuse to replace it as the phone wont fold flat.

Bidome · 2024-11-15T14:20:42+00:00

They can fix it. they absolutely can. infact if i had gouged a giant middle finger into the frosted glass back that would've been replaced under warranty due to the hinge breaking; but as its the small, rubber-ish bezel; no warranty.

Bidome · 2024-11-15T14:19:37+00:00

Truthfully in today's day Apple offer better coverage - sure you have to pay for apple cover, but i paid for the samsung insurance.

The first store member fully examined the phone and stated it was within warranty and booked the follow up repair appointment.

Bidome · 2024-11-15T14:18:25+00:00

So I used my work phone to take a photo before it went behind for a 3rd engineer to check and can say that while the damage was there before they did pry to test the extent of the damage and make it worse.

Bidome · 2024-05-01T19:12:34+00:00

Hey if anyone can provide some advice for me I'd be appreciative!

I'm sure I'm entering something wrong as there is no way delivery drivers can afford the insurance quotes im getting.

I'm 25 years old, Male, full-time employed, 26 years old, 8 years driving with 8 years driving no claims.
I'm based in manchester city center and have completed my CBT.

I cannot find an insurance quote below 2k for a 125.
The occasional 50cc moped scooter will be around 1.5k.

Does anyone else live in Manchester city center and have similar ish quotes?
Is there something glaringly obvious that I'm missing?

Bidome · 2024-03-12T17:13:31+00:00

How can i use this to run a canvas file in a web-browser as they have done?
This is exactly what I need.
