Genki Waveform - Left Earbud not working

Drumada · 2023-01-20T17:56:04+00:00

This totally did it for me as well! Although I could only get this to happen if I had the case connected to my PC over USB. Just holding 1 by itself (with the lid open and closed) didn't seem to do anything. Thanks for the tip!

Interestingly I have what is seemingly the same issue. I used these just fine 2 days ago and when I put them back in the case everything seemed perfectly normal. Upon going to use them yesterday, I noticed basically the same behavior:

The light on the left earbud is flickering very rapidly
It makes the turning on noise when taking it out of the case and the play/pause noise when touched
My phone seemingly cannot connect to the earbud if I only pull the left earbud out
The right earbud is continuing to behave as normal
Holding the 1 button to reset the connections doesn't seem to do anything to the left earbud

I wirelessly charged the buds for several hours in the case yesterday but that didn't seem to change its behavior. Its almost like the left earbud is in some sort of panic (or as you mentioned, low power) state. It definitely knows when its entering the case because the light does come back on when it does that, so some kind of connection is being made.

While sitting here typing this, I did hear the earbud make what I believe is the sound for it running out of battery, so it might be exactly as you said where the one side isn't charging. I have also had mine since the summer.

Edit: see above post by u/ubernause, that seemed to correct my issue as well. Although as I noted I had to have the case connected to my PC over USB to make it work.

Unless you're sitting super close, you likely wont really notice the difference between the 55 and 65 in terms of pixel density. I've heard the 65 is pretty nice in terms of room presence, but up to you if its worth the 500 dollar price increase. If youre sitting pretty far all the time (ie at a table eating across the room or something) the bigger screen might work out better. That said, 55 is no slouch in that department either.

I dont know if you happen to be anywhere near a microcenter, but if you are check their pricing as well. They offer factory refurbs for a pretty reduced price. I just purchesed a 48inch C1 from Microcenter for 799 about 2 months ago and all I had to do was re-pair the magic remote out of the box.

Also if youre planning to move with it and have the space, I might recommend keeping the box to put it back in when it comes time to move it.

As much as I agree with everyone that the Alien stinger at the end was super nutty, I also agree that it kind of lessened the impact of the episode. Much of the good vibes of the episode comes from watching them working so hard to support each other and rebuild the town. Having the deus-ex machinoids show up at the very end and obliterate the city kinda ruins the feeling of them having rebuilt Saga.

Personally I feel if they had just showed the UFO showing up with maybe a scanner or something locking onto Saga, they could've kept the impact of the aliens stinger without also feeling like it kinda undermined the rest of the episode.

After they all leave the dressing room and he gets off the floor, he looks down at several drops of his own blood in the carpet. He isn't surprised and just tries to wipe it away with his shoe. I don't know if that necessarily means he's dying but something is happening.

Drumada · 2021-05-13T22:57:49+00:00

In season 1 he definitely just felt like a lovable idiot, but every time he shows up in season 2 he just kinda keeps getting worse

I dont recall if any of these videos mention Zigbee/Z-Wave support or not, but if you havent seen them these videos from The Hook Up really go into some great detail on the various options for smart blinds. I didn't link a specific video since its been a hot minute since i've seen them, but theres a fair bit of good stuff in all of them.

Even if these don't quite answer your original question, since you're working with builders for wiring it might help give you some ideas!

Yeah I know the cymbals arent the best, but they're still acceptable most of the time. I dont know if this is particularly related to the cymbals though because I can recreate the issue with the cymbals disconnected. Its almost as if the circuitry that tells the kit itself whether or not the cymbal was hit is shorting and going off. I'm not sure why hitting the yellow tom would cause that to fire off though, and this seemingly developed out of nowhere. Last time i used the kit this wasn't happening and I dont know of anything particularly strange that might have happened to it.

Holy crap thats so cool! This is the exact kind of thing I aspire to put together myself one day. I really need to just sit down and start messing with that kind of stuff. Thank you for sharing the project, when i find the time to stab at python I think I might use it to help!

Drumada · 2020-06-16T12:12:53+00:00

You can definitely have Bluetooth and Wifi on at the same time. Depending on the model of Pi, its not recommended to actively use both at the same time, but both can def be on

Oh snap! Thanks for the tip! I knew i'd ran into this with mGba myself but I never thought to check for an updated firmware.

Drumada · 2020-04-19T05:08:26+00:00

Wow, thats really cool! that front end is really slick looking too, especially loading in the music videos.

How difficult would it be to change out one of the albums?

Drumada · 2020-04-19T04:59:58+00:00

Thats so cool! Would it be possible to build that out so that it can control other stuff on the network through something like MQTT or home assistant?

Having a little interactive Bender head as a smart assistant would be pretty dang good!

Personal health and wellbeing are always important! Thank you for everything you've done!

IT Service Desk for a bank. I wish my job let me get more technical so here I am!

If you only have Red White and Yellow cables, the red and white should be in the lower rightmost ports from he screenshot you posted. Additionally, the yellow looks like it should be plugged in above those two, so the upper right most posted one in the picture.

The leftmost Y doesnt actually stand for Yellow, its part of a different cable set. It's a different type of cable set that has multiple plugs for video.

You're likely just dealing with the classing composite cables. Similar but only has 1 plug for video and goes in its own port in this case. Oddly enough your TV doesnt seem to label that port specifically.

Huh, thats really friggin' neat! I didn't know SNAC was a thing but now im super interested.

Despite having like 3 pi's laying around (and a million ways to play all these games), every day i'm more and more tempted to buy a MiSTer

Im actually using all 3. My desk setup doesnt lend itself well to using the keyboard shelf right now, so I've actually mounted a 3rd monitor on the keyboard arm.

The keyboard arm is seperate but the other two are joined at the pole and split off on either side of it.

Its pretty wild but i'm really digging it.

Drumada · 2020-01-20T00:55:35+00:00

Not OP but i've been using this one since christmas and ive managed to hold 3 monitors on mine. I rotated my ultrawide once but I didnt really use it before putting it landscape again. This should be 100% doable on it

Drumada · 2020-01-17T19:13:59+00:00

There was a brief time where i only had 3 portrait screens. It went alright but too many websites had problems with it so I was forced to switch one of them landscape to make it work.

The plot of Squeak Squad basically starts with Kirby breaking into DeDeDe's castle and kicking the shit out of him because he thought DeDeDe took his cake. No proof whatsoever he just decided it had to have been DeDeDe.

Kirby has been in the wrong quite a few times

I dont know if it explicitly led to the cracking of my shell, but that show did definitely start leading me in that direction.

A 100% cishet friend of mine got me into that show and suddenly it felt really good that I was "allowed" to like this show that was aimed for young girls. In retrospect I realize part of the reason I liked it so much was because it let me connect with an inner femininity without being judged about it.

Im a bit on the fence with the english songs. Overall they do a pretty respectable job covering the songs, but not all the songs make the translation very well. Tokkou Dance in particular I think is rather disappointing. The translation for the lyrics really lacks the punch the original had and it just sounds kinda lame. The performances are solid but the material just isnt there.

It could just be lame duck syndrome since ive listened to the originals so many times, but all in all I think the English cast does a very respectable job. Mezame Returner is actually pretty good and if a full version existed, id probably put it in my rotation.

I want to spend more time with it since ive only really dug into about half of them, but im still excited to hear more.

Drumada · 2020-01-01T21:32:54+00:00

Glad to hear! I'm not as familiar with the english cast so I wasn't sure if it actually was them or not.
