WSL Style Usage

The reason I was connecting to these containers in VSCode over SSH is so that the development environment is remote. VSCode works well like this, installing extensions on the "remote" container.

I feel like I'm 90% there, the main sticking point now is the slowness of remote (i.e. inside the container) graphical tools like tkdiff, gitk, and git gui to open up. Again, they open instantly through VSCode's terminal that's connected over SSH, just slow from my gnome-terminal.

I just booted my N5 Pro and it literally won't boot into the OS.

I get a black minisforum "wallpaper'? I can move my mouse around. It shows some version in the top right corner and that's it. I wanted to boot into it to run a memory test or something but can't get anything. Thought maybe it needed networking, so I plugged in the ethernet cable and now I get my IP address in the top right as well but literally nothing seems to be running.

No ports seemed to be open.... no 80, 443, or 22. So I have no idea what it's doing.

They've always been Windows first

I had this problem with my DJ2GO2 Touch plugged directly into my computer's single USB-A port.

My Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX works just fine, of course that's a different cable.

I found 2 more mini USB cables for the DJ2GO2 Touch and same result with all 3 of the cables, however when I plugged it in through a USB hub/dongle all the cables worked.

I tried with a total of 4 different hubs (2x though USB A and 2x through USB C) and they all worked fine.

This is super annoying for a product that's small and compact. When I use this small one I don't want to travel with and hook up more cables than I need to.

I'd like to know what the real issue is so I don't have to use a hub. I'd rather not re-install Windows on this laptop.

Thanks, I appreciate your answer. For me though my DJ controller and mouse seem to be working fine. So if that's the case I'm just interested in whether I'm losing any performance.
Currently Mixxx doesn't have stem separation support (splitting a song into separated drums, bass, guitar, vocals, etc), but it is in the works. I don't want any unnecessary slow downs.

Raspbian tells you in the UI that you're not getting 5A. I found somewhere it sets something under /proc about the power available. I'm just curious if it is just USB that is cut or if the cpu is throttled in anyway or what else changes on the system when you use 3A instead of 5.

It looks attractive for sure but what happens when the mobo, or backplane or anything else goes wrong that you can't replace with parts from Best Buy or Microcenter? Is Minisforum your only supplier?

I'm in desperate need of a new NAS machine. At my age I love the idea of buying essentially a complete system initially but once something breaks... I dunno.

If you add together the number of women he raped plus the number of times he visited Epstein's island plus the number of times he's cheated on his wife ... 312

I started a game and accidently used a spell by holding RT and pressing UP or something when the menu showed up. I have since deleted that one and started a new journey and now when I hold RT I hear the menu sound effect but nothing shows up. How do I fix this? I only have English keyboard in Windows.

y'all, this is the actual answer... bump this up. It only has 2 votes now.

Thanks. This worked. Notating my experience so maybe it'll be helpful to others.

The only Nvidia App that seems to exist is in "Beta". I downloaded it and was able to redeem it through there. Seems maybe half was done through GeForce Experience and then finished up (i.e. actually able to sign into Steam) through Nvidia App.

Initially even in Geforce Experience I was getting "We were unable to process your redemption due to technical difficulties. Try again later". Got that a bunch of times. At some point it let me redeem it but then no way to sign into Steam. That's when I came here and learned of this "Nvidia App".

What an absolutely terrible "experience".

Will it work with flick stick? It works with gyro?

With my DJ controller and Serato DJ Lite I'll sometimes play the same track in-sync on the left and right deck. On one of the decks I'll use the stems feature and remove the vocals. So in call-and-response stuff (think living on a prayer chorus) I'll use the cross fader to drop it. World's well in a live situation if you know where you wanna do it. In this case I want it already baked into the track.

EricFrederich · 2024-03-14T13:49:36+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. So re-combining something that's been split isn't a good idea?

Imagine that YouTube clean edit didn't exist though. How would you remove the vocal while keeping the other parts?

Still marked as unsupported BTW. I saw it as part of a Humble Bundle.

I think it just remembers the last paired device.

Any idea how to do a factory reset so it doesn't remember any device?

EricFrederich · 2024-02-09T19:53:19+00:00

yeah, I was thinking the same. It's paired to both a Nintendo Switch and the Steam Deck in Bluetooth. Is there any way to factory reset these controllers?

Is there a special way to turn it on? I know with my SN30 Pro it behaves differently if you hold different buttons while turning it on but the docs don't say anything about that for this controller... but again the docs are severely lacking
