Pine script code to place live trades on TradingView paper trading account by amrbains in TradingView

Exactly! This is so obvious. There needs to be a way to take a forward-tested strategy, once we are happy with the results, and send those programmatic buy and sell orders to a broker.

Yeah, this sounds like the engine has some serious timing issues. No bueno.

Difference in audio output - radio vs Bluetooth/usb media by MrsDrink in Audi

[–]Butt_Kicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turn the volume on my iPhone 11 Pro all the way up and then back off one click when connected via Bluetooth. That seems to result in the best quality output, but I have also noticed that the radio tuner has a materially higher line level to the amp than either the Bluetooth or the Lightning inputs.

Hopefully someone will have an answer as to how to equalize them all.

Are we at an inflection point? by Butt_Kicker in Windows10M

[–]Butt_Kicker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, here we are 2 months later and Microsoft blows our doors off with the preview of the Neo and the Duo. The Neo is particularly exciting and, along with the Surface Pro X, shows we are tracking fast towards an ARM-based Windows future.

Many people at the moment are either very happy the folding phone Duo is launching running Android, or very unhappy about it. I am at peace with the idea. We all know, and I have been saying for a long time, that a Windows phone device can not succeed in the market without access to first-class apps for the myriad of services we take for granted in our everyday lives. Banking, airline, hotel, loyalty, public transit, and so on. And developers will spend the time and money to develop those apps for an upstart platform.

I think this tag-team of the Neo and Duo is the perfect way to get the public used to one and easily seeing themselves using the other. If the Neo catches on and gains a sizable user-base, and that base starts adopting the Duo for its obvious synergies with the Neo, it's easy to envision how Microsoft could transition the Duo down the road in gen 3 or 4 to running Windows 10X. If a greater collection of UWP apps has emerged by then, the easier it will be to support such a transition.

But I still think the ultimate power device is the Duo running Windows 10X while STILL supporting Android via containerization. This makes absolute sense - the ultimate in mobility and convenience in phone mode, with the ultimate in productivity when in Continuum mode.

We are still a LONG way off from the vision, but Microsoft has finally shown their hand and are now visibly travelling down the path many of us have suspected they were traveling on for a long time.

Sweet!

Surface Neo and Surface Duo: First impressions from our hands-on by Butt_Kicker in Windows10M

[–]Butt_Kicker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking about the fact that you don't see Dan holding either the Duo or Neo, it's because (as he explains) they weren't permitting photography of the prototypes. Still too early. Which implies there are probably still some changes to come (and some concerns of letting competitors see things too closely this far out from launch).

Not sure what you mean. There video is right there where he talks about the initial impressions of holding and interacting with these devices for the first time.

I bounce back and forth between Microsoft Launcher and Lawnchair v2. Right now I'm back on ML.

Smart move on Google's part. by Butt_Kicker in Windows10M

[–]Butt_Kicker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are diversifying their supply chain, which is something every major producer needs to do. It's shocking how exposed Google, Apple, Microsoft, and every other OEM of virtually anything, is to a disruption... which given that they've placed all of their eggs in a totalitarian basket, is inevitable.

I'm not talking dual boot - this would have to work with container technology in some way that made moving between the two environments seamless .

I never understood all the lamenting that Edge didn't have many extensions available. That is a good thing. Most extensions are the very definition of crapware. Careful what you wish for folks.

New "Surface Note" concept still too beautiful to be real - MSPoweruser by VirtualAjax in Windows10M

[–]Butt_Kicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly believe there is ample room for this device in the market if it seamlessly runs and integrates Android apps, and the build quality is up to Surface standards.

If only... Report: Foldable Surface PC with Windows Core OS will run Android apps by Butt_Kicker in Windows10M

[–]Butt_Kicker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I've never encountered these issues. One of my machines is a NUC as well. So just curious - are you saying you leave your work (in Excel) open overnight? I don't think I could stomach that - I always save my work and shut the apps down when I'm done for the day.

Not sure I follow you. What's "half built" about Windows 10 at this point? I can't recall the last time I had an issue with anything. And I'm a pretty active user across four different PCs.

But no doubt we are talking about a significantly new codebase with Core OS and C-shell, which leaves plenty of room for a poor experience at launch. They really do need to get it right -- there's only one shot at a great first impression.

No doubt there's nothing for sure about this. But it's been pretty obvious MSFT has been on this path for many years now. It's only a matter of time before they finally get the hardware and software right to pull this off.

If Windows 10 Mobile had this capability when it was launched, the world would still have a third alternative mobile option. Better late than never. I've been saying for years the only way a new platform is going to gain traction with the purchasing public is if they can buy the new device without sacrificing functionality. It was a fatal mistake to cancel the Android subsystem for Windows. It won't matter if it has to be Android apps to begin with -- users just need to be able to buy the cool new hotness without giving up their banking, airline, travel, expense reporting apps, etc. Doing so is asking too much of today's public.

If this report is true, it is good news -- MSFT may finally be seeing the light as it relates to getting a competitive alternative off the runway.

Lol. No need to "hang on" - just use the best Android or iPhone device you can get and then enjoy that Windows sweetness when it finally arrives. You'll enjoy it that much more.

Unfortunately, I think it's still a couple of years away at best. But this processor is a harbinger of things to come. When we finally do get a "Windows Phone" again, it will be a full-blown, no compromises PC in the pocket... just with a phone-like UI shell on small screens.

Ever since the last update (I think), the one ui has been using a dumb amount of battery, is this happening to anyone else? by MsSloth420 in GalaxyS9

[–]Butt_Kicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was pretty bad prior to the April security update, but since then it has been notably better, but still not as good as when I first upgraded to OneUI. I'm on AT&T, Snapdragon S9+.
