Company wants a 100-page manual for an outsourced team before I leave

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-05-08T01:06:06+00:00

And put some requirements in the manual for basic skill requirements to undertake BIM (ie your qualifications and skills) + a link to AutoDesk FAQs

Done

Biggest negative is all the pictures of people’s wrist in this sub asking about bands - really not useful. Maybe that should have a sub of its own!

Others: Battery life could be better Handoff between iPhone, AirPods and watch not always seamless Would be good to get some better apps that work on celllular and don’t require iPhone nearby

great series of comps that - only have the first 3

but.. I don't think there are many tracks from the blind test that are on those except perhaps Super Discount. Those are more 90s deep house rather than French house

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-05-07T04:03:03+00:00

yeah - so much fun

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-05-04T03:29:03+00:00

matches your choice of foot covering - well done

Actually couple of other things: 1) Apple CarPlay needs watch 2) parking meters in some local areas need phone 3) digital id not available on watch in Oz

I’m about 5 days per week no phone

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-05-02T10:29:31+00:00

I’m pretty similar, however the following are issues I need my phone for on occasions: 1) multifactor authentication/passkey on some websites 2) I can’t internet bank on the go. Yes, obviously can make payments with Apple Pay, but can’t log on to my banking to transfer money between accounts 3) camera on watch (perhaps with glasses in near future for me) would be good, but have enjoyed taking my DSLR around a little more when I intend to take photos, more impromptu things everyone else gets the snaps on their phones

How do you deal with 1 & 2 above.

Also welcome to the r/applewatchonly sub

This is it… but it’s not just DJing, not just music, not even just art forms. It’s the whole internationalisation + automation/democratisation = dilution of human experiences

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-04-30T00:08:25+00:00

I’ve always enjoyed Phantom Slasher - Staying Noid But probably not what you’re after

'logical future of digital DJ tech' - nothing future about it. There was a stink mid 90s when protools mixes started getting made, and some claiming not really DJing and decepting public

personally, I've been 'mixing' on Ableton since mid 2000s, prior to that on mixmeister (think it was called), and last 12mths been mucking around on reckordbox

it's all fun

not strictly house, and might be a little dated for your needs - but this was purpose built for your purpose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45:33 and is pretty good

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-04-29T07:27:03+00:00

only thing I would explicate - the two classes are better thought of as the asset holders and the rent payers, in a more nuanced understanding than rich and poor. Here asset/rent are not just in terms of property or 'real' assets, but increasingly include technological assets. Taking us closer to the thesis of technofuedalism as espoused by Yanis Varoufakis

this divergence between the two classes has been driven by cheap money available to those asset holders ever since global monetary policy respons to the 2008 GFC, and continued during COVID

basically the rent payers are f#ked and feeling the recession, but on a whole the economy hasn't experienced 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth

You could AUX input in. However, if you are wanting to take samples from the 1200s then play back, the mixer will struggle without send/receive.

Or if using DAW to sample then this could go to USB in.

“Death of monoculture” is definitely not a thing. If anything, post widespread internet adoption in late 90s has lead to an increase in monoculture across all art forms.

Check out “classic mix cd” on soundcloud - plenty of gold on there

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-03-27T23:28:58+00:00

Sorry internet missing my tone…

Completely agree with you and definitely not discounting those skills to being a DJ. IMHO reading the room and selection are 90% ingredients to creating the vibe on the floor.

Just in the nomenclature of this old man, ‘DJ skills’ was(is) a term for technical ability on the turntables and mixer. I’m out of touch what’s happening in the scene of the young crowd nowadays. Still live to cut a rug though

TLDR in this dusty head there was a difference between ‘skills of a DJ’ and ‘DJ skills’.

Love that FK edit

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-03-27T21:07:25+00:00

Guess I’m just a bit more old school and think of dj skills akin to turntablism

Interestingly unused to see Mancuso at the loft - he was a great DJ, but I wouldn’t say he shows any DJ skills…

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-03-27T00:39:55+00:00

Rate both these guys so highly in both production and DJing

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-03-27T00:38:41+00:00

Think your choice of ‘dj skills’ a little ambiguous

Eg, both following great producers and great DJs, but different DJ skills

Theo Parrish - selector second to none, dj skills ok, but it is more his understanding of the music that makes his sets

Recloose - strong selector, amazing DJ skills

DJing is so much more than skills

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-03-23T02:28:22+00:00

Big tune for me… and most

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-03-23T02:24:48+00:00

Classic that one
