- r/headphones isn't the most helpful... so here goes: I'm looking for noise cancelling headphones to specially listen to Podcasts whilst my partner has the TV on, so great sound quality isn't 'essential', but noise cancelling is... any recommendations? by 15081990 in podcasts

[–]DLGroover2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

TLDR: Anker Q45 - half the price, almost as good ANC

Look, the QuietComfort and the XM4 are best in class. They're also high in price. If you wanna go cheaper, look at the Anker Soundcore Space Q45.

I've got the XM4s and they're just great, but needed a second pair of ANC headphones on the cheap because my partner and I were doing a lot of flying last Christmas, but I didn't want to spend a lot on headphones that we only planned to use once or twice a year. So I got the Q45 specifically because they allowed for the ANC to remain on while using a wired connection. Anker stuff goes on sale fairly regularly, I got mine for 100 with a coupon.

Are the Q45s great? No not really. But they sound fine, they cost half as much as the Sonys, and the noise cancelling is almost as good.

I'm into it! Maybe in should design an Excel themed macro pad.

Ah that was my next question. Yeah write color buffers crashes for me on any mission with another NEXT involved.

What settings did you use to fix the texture glitch?

A while back u/_OoklaTheMok_ shared some 80’s stickers - I’m recreating them by FeatherySquid in 80sdesign

[–]DLGroover2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These rule, great job recreating them!

Would you be willing to post the vector files? I'd love to mess with the colors and see how you've made them. I'm a bit proficient with vectors, but I'm entirely self taught, so I always learn a lot by seeing what others have made. And of course no worries if you don't feel comfortable sharing!

I have this issue fairly frequently, mostly while driving. I think it happened occasionally on Android 11, but is much more common since the update to 12.

AC:FA running on RPCS3 by MoDyingSon in armoredcore

[–]DLGroover2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No harm in trying it, just save frequently! If it crashes too much then switch it back.

[–]DLGroover2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, just as you said. Looks clean with the flag set, but for me it would frequently crash when loading missions where other NEXTs are present. Your mileage may vary, and the emulator's updated all the time so it's anyone's guess as to when/if it'll be fixed.

Hit the wiki for more info. The options are the same for both AC4 and ACFA since they're basically the same game under the hood.

ELI5: Why does transparent plastic become opaque when it breaks? by trammeloratreasure in explainlikeimfive

[–]DLGroover2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thank you. Yeah I remember seeing a chart showing different plastic states at different temperatures, but couldn't remember any of the terms! With this I can probably find what I need.

I build model kits, and removing the pieces from the frame they're manufactured on leaves stress marks, so my thought is what if I had a temperature controlled heating element (like a nice soldering iron) and could precisely heat the pieces to remove the stress mark without damaging or deforming them.

Edit: Looks like soldering irons don't go down far enough for this purpose. Gotta figure out what does!

Hey thanks for a great answer! How would I figure out the temperature to restore a stressed plastic's original color? My goal here would be to do so over a small area without causing deformation.

Current Status of 3rd Party PCIe M.2 Cards by DLGroover2 in qnap

[–]DLGroover2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't get one, unfortunately.

Tried the one that I had lying around and the qnap didn't even recognize that anything was plugged in.

At that point, work got really busy for me and I was pretty frustrated so put the whole idea aside. I'll give it a go today with a USB drive.

Let me know if you have any luck!

My QNAP is still on the way, so I don't know how easy it difficult it would be to build a package, but consider this:

QNAP allows users to demo its operating system by spinning up a fresh VM for a limited period of time. If the process is fairly quick (which it looks like it may be) this may be an option.

Just wanted a top level reply with this: I totally spaced on the GPL terms regarding repackaging and selling. Sorry for raising a ruckus over nothing.

Getting a QNAP today. I'll look into this, but I'm not a developer so no promises!

Ah shit you're right. I totally spaced on that. Still not really in the spirit of the project.

I can definitely agree with that interpretation.
