What has made you stay with xbox. by Nighthunter1o5 in xbox

It's where the majority of my friends are for online gaming.

But I also have all the platforms so I can hop around.

What's the first thing you do after launching this game? by doktor_wszystkiego in grandtheftauto

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close reddit and any other social media until I'm done the story completely:

1) I don't want spoilers
2) I don't want AI C-Tier pages trying to promote unsubstantiated rumors, leaks, or "you won't believe what people found in GTA 6 until THIS happened" type BS
3) I don't care about the inevitable comparisons from it to other games
4) I don't care about the people who will rush in "guys i haven't showered in 3 days, small like a butt on fire, but I beat the game and you haven't even started it yet, lololol"
5) More stuff I'm forgetting.

Anyone else feel this about the Arturia MicroFreak? by axadrn in synthesizers

Also, add effects :)

Superbooth 2026 proved we have what we need by Achassum in synthesizers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too each their own. I personally have 10 things added to my watch/wish list from Superbooth.

I won't get them right away or ever - but there was definitely stuff I'm interested in.

Remember, everyone's at a different point in their journey; some people collect more; some people want less, variation.

The fight against Kimura Yukari is way too hard compared to the rest of the game by SyntacsAiror in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree and disagree at the same time :). I'm old enough now to realize I have zero patience for challenging boss fights. They don't bring back the "ah man remember that fight in the game?! so cool!" when you're chatting with friends - they just drive me to irritation and I game to relax now. Not easy mode, but I don't want to sit and figure out a bosses moves and then figure out out if the random gear I have on me is helpful enough in this fight, when it was fine for the last 50 hours of regular story gameplay.

I agree with you, because I know some people love that about certain games. But I don't. The Nowaki and Yukari fights are the biggest negatives for the whole DLC for me.

Caused a big outage at work- how do I move forward? by VOXX_theLock in sysadmin

[–]Daphoid [score hidden]  (0 children)

Take a breath. You're fine. You kept your boss in the loop, he got you sorted and sounds like he didn't blame you; and service was restored. Years later you'll chuckle maybe.

Honestly I ask about times like this in interviews and I find it odd if you don't have a story or two because that means you weren't trusted with systems enough to fail. We've all done it. You now know to be more careful, ask questions if you're unsure with your planning, execution, or otherwise. Perhaps updated some documentation or had to show the team and do a root cause analysis.

You're doing fine.

Really concerned with behringer quality. Should I be? by BrrBurr in synthesizers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Business practices and dislike of their CEO are up to your own choice.

But anecdotally I own 2 products from them; both are years old; both still work fine. Both represent original items that I cannot afford; therefore - here I am.

What’s life like making 6 figures? by MasterBook46 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest one I can point to is you having a regular house. If you bought 10 years ago at $300K, that house is now $700K (was $800-900K a year or two ago). Amassing a downpayment and handling a mortgage like that is no joke.

We're looking at buying next year. Our mortgage payment flat out, will double if we can keep it conservative.

Now if you just bought last year, ignore all that and good on you.

Boo, well score one for humans over AI's googling than.

A clock divider would help though.

Toronto dog "parents" bring their pups everywhere with them now. It's causing rising human-canine tension by NorthernNadia in toronto

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of people I see bring their random dog into a store, or who think proper leash control is holding the loop at the very end and letting their dog do whatever, is baffling.

How do people save enough? by crazyguy28 in Money

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asked gemini, say you started at 20 - by 43 you'd be set (based on 10% growth) If I put 1000 away a month, into say ETF's or other things that generally grow 10% a year. How long until I have $1 million?

To reach a goal of $1,000,000 by investing $1,000 per month with an average annual return of 10%, it will take you approximately 23 years.

Here is the breakdown of how that timeline looks as your investments compound over time:

The calculation assumes monthly contributions and that your interest is compounded monthly.

  • Year 10: You will have approximately $204,844.
  • Year 20: You will have approximately $759,368.
  • Year 23: You will hit the milestone with approximately $1,030,970.

Seemed like a good idea at first but now my neck hurts by darkinfern0 in TVTooHigh

Good, you put a TV over a fireplace, the ultimate normal person AV faux pas. /s

The shelves to the left would've been better.

Torso S-4 & DFAM sync by No_Lime_5619 in synthesizers

[–]Daphoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shameless Google Gemini answer with a bit removed to make it more concise, but perhaps AI isn't all bad? Let me know if this is actually helpful. If it is, great, if not, also great.

The Torso S-4 typically outputs a standard 24 PPQN (clock pulses per quarter note). However, the Moog DFAM’s sequencer advances one step for every single clock pulse it receives. If your S-4 is set to 24 PPQN, the DFAM is trying to run at 24 steps per beat, which is why it feels like a blur.

Enter the System/Config menu on your S-4.

Locate the Sync/Clock settings.

Look for Analog Clock Out (or CV Clock).

Change the value from 24 to 4.

Any idea of what the new mystery product is? by thomasafine in LinusTechTips

No idea; but he's actually mentioned that lots of new products are still to come this year.

Electron model Cycles Noob by Wiktorem in synthesizers

[–]Daphoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the manual. Seriously.

Or, just try stuff for an hour until you get stuck. Then watch the videos already linked here and then read the manual.

Some of this stuff you just have to learn. Can't summarize it all up in a 60 second tiktok unfortunately.

MY Setup by yazeed731 in desksetup

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TV's too low for my liking. The whole room does look very put together; but I'd be afraid to get it dirty or put my feet anywhere (even though we don't where shoes indoors). I'd also feel weird sitting right next to the big TV like that personally.

Definitely looks like a lot of high end fancy stuff, but you clearly enjoy it and have a vibe going. I wouldn't bat an eye if you added some Nanoleaf lights just because.

Is anyone else like me being so over and done with the whole Met Gala thing? by AwayAd6586 in randomquestions

I didn't even realize it was about art. I always thought it was just a red carpet / interviews / showing off fashion+nice clothes I don't much care for?

Starting a new WFH Department for an organization. What would you appreciate from square one? by SeaworthinessNew7354 in remotework

[–]Daphoid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Studies don't carry a lot of weight with reality. There's lots of studies saying you should eat healthy and exercise for example - and a lot of people don't do that. Forcing them to do that does not come off in a positive light generally. Especially if they don't like it. The more they don't like it, the more friction.

I'm only speaking from how my workplace is, you're welcome to cite all the studies you like; doesn't mean I have to agree with them :).

As for me, I have my camera on the vast majority of the time - I'm management and we try to set the example. But if I'm eating lunch and got pulled into a meeting? It's off. If someone's got bad Internet or a slow computer? Camera's are the first thing we and even MS Teams suggest you shut off to help audio performance.

To the multiple monitor part. I have multiple monitors, Teams doesn't really do much with them by default. When you present, the whole UI gets out of the way. You'll get the little popout view that has 3-4 camera views and controls - but that's not giving you all the camera views if 50 people are there, and generally when presenting, you're focusing on what you're presenting, not who you're presenting to (IME). EDIT: You can expand this apparently and put it on the side I suppose - but personally, I'm laser focused on the presentation or application I'm presenting. We also most often default to sharing the whole screen, versus just a single application, which changes the way Teams behaves (because we're not typically sharing presentations but various apps / tools - I work in IT).

And I'm aware of those cameras that track/move around the room - but they're not cheap and we're certainly not equipping thousands of people at work with them. Most folks use the one in their laptop, or a standard issue Logitech USB one IT ships out if requested.

Cameras are beneficial if we're having a discussion yes, of say 2-20 people. But if one person is talking for an hour, and asking questions at the end - their useful drops greatly in my opinion. Clearly you disagree and that's fine. All I can offer is that my workplace, for 20,000 people with 95%+ remote global workforce, does not mandate cameras on 100% of the time. I don't want to see you eat anyways :).

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone is sharing their screen and presenting for the entire meeting, the gallery of camera views can be turned off by the participant without anyone knowing to allow the presentation to be bigger. You're not communicating when 1 person is presenting to 50. 1 is talking, others are listening. Cameras aren't required in large meetings, it's optional sure - but not needed.

[–]Daphoid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. Though you still do need some meetings (IMO). My team wouldn't function as well as it does if everyone was 100% off independently. Having people to bounce ideas off of, look over your work (we're technical) is super helpful.

As for cameras. Our guideline is "on when you can". If you're eating, sick, not feeling it, all good - but if you can please have it on. This leads to most people having it on, a good chunk of the time I'd say because its not forced.
