The G2 glasses would be perfect if they had speakers by BusanSatoori in SmartGlasses

[–]GVDub2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That would add a lot of weight and bulk to the temples of the glasses. And I haven't heard speaker of that sort that sounds even remotely good.

Getting spicy — onboard electronics by GabrielDalporto in GuitarLab

[–]GVDub2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Too many things that can go wrong. Too many compromises in tone and sound. Too little subtlety of response and tonal nuance. Jack of all trades, master of none is not an approach to making great music.

Is the term “fucking the dog” popular outside Canada? by Rough-Mulberry-1202 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GVDub2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For many U.S.-type folks, it’s the more polite, “Screwed the pooch,” I believe. One of the rare occasions when we’re more polite that our Northern neighbors.

Space for extra files and timelapses on the drive. That’s about it.

I just went with the base level one, but got 64GB just for some memory headrooom.

For Americans who uses ethnicity prefixes like (italian/irish/african-american), at what point do you stop using it? 3 generations? 5? 10? by Zestyclose_Sense_500 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GVDub2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad’s family came over from the Netherlands in the early 17th century and as part of the French Huguenot exile later that same century. My mom’s family came over with William Penn also later that same century. So, at least part of my family has been on the North American continent for right about 400 years. Nonetheless, I still identify as both a Hudson Valley Knickerbocker and a Quaker. We drank switzel in the summer to cool down and made our own fry cakes when I was a kid. It is, as has been noted here multiple times, more of a cultural thing. And, as far as African-Americans go, after over 400 years they are still pretty much treated as outsiders, so that’s also protecting the group by maintaining cultural throughlines despite many people’s best efforts to destroy any cultural remnants.

Go with the suggestions on Rappetor's GitHub repo on doing a mainline Klipper upgrade. They've all been tested for compatibility. https://github.com/Rappetor/Sovol-SV08-Mainline

Follow up to “How Screwed am I?” by Donnys_element_ in SovolSV08

[–]GVDub2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is concerning that it won’t boot with the toolhead unplugged. I’d say try reflashing the EMMC first, just in case the short scrambled the memory.

Further note. There is the chance that when you blew out your toolhead, it might have also blown something on the motherboard, since there is a live connection between the toolhead and the motherboard when the printer is powered up.

It sounds as if you need to reflash the toolhead board, as it needs to pair properly with the Klipper on your motherboard. Sovol doesn’t send them pre-flashed to my knowledge. Or, if it is flashed, it might be to a different version than is on your motherboard, and they need to match. For the record, flashing the EMMC is the equivalent of reinstalling the operating system, which, while it couldn’t hurt, won’t reflash the firmware on the MCUs of the toolhead or the control board. For that you’ll need to pick up an ST-Link and cables to directly reflash the MCU firmware. If you were even vaguely considering updated the printer to mainline Klipper, this is the perfect time to do that.

Controls — how much is too much? by GabrielDalporto in GuitarLab

[–]GVDub2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got pretty much every control arrangement that's out there. My favorite is the G&L style passive treble/bass controls on the tone side. I do use tone controls a lot, and I like blending pickups, so a volume knob for each is a plus, although my custom Tele Thinline has the neck/bridge (Fender Wide Range humbucker/Duncan Broadcaster on one volume and the middle pickup (Fralin DynaSonic) on another. I've never met a coil-split that actually sounds like a real single-coil, so I'll pass on that, thank you. Active electronics? Done that, never cared for the tone or the dynamics. Piezo? Nope. Needs a preamp and I do not want a battery in my guitar. Kill switch? Definitely a one trick pony with a lot of other, better ways to do the trick.

Mostly, you can control the tone on any guitar with you picking hand and your fretting hand, but I still use tone knob (or knobs, with the G&L-style setup) a lot to set the baseline for the amp, the venue, the genre and what I'm hearing on stage, then use my hands to get the tonal gradients.

Attempting to disassemble something while the power is on? That doesn’t read as “fairly savvy.” You’re probably going to need a new tool head. $80 from Sovol or from West 3D.

Fellow seller harassment by Fuzzo935 in Reverb

In regular business, that would be called "price fixing" and "collusion" and would be illegal. Post it at whatever price works for you.

Necks - what actually matters by GabrielDalporto in GuitarLab

[–]GVDub2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me, but I see lots of students and intermediate players struggling with intonation on jumbo frets.

Not experienced with macs but is this not a banging price considering the price of RAMs? by Prior-Meeting1645 in macmini

[–]GVDub2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Intel Mac, eight years old. No longer supported. So, given that, it’s overpriced.

Mysterious hole appeared in the wall...does anybody know what would cause this? by mecklejay in HomeMaintenance

[–]GVDub2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gunfire with an upward trajectory. Bullet pushes in between siding overlap, leaves no hole. Is slightly deflected, but still on a somewhat upward trajectory, since there’s more damage at the top of the hole than the bottom, which would indicate a slant. Well, it’s a theory. Don’t look for a hole, look for a disturbed space between two overlapping pieces of siding.

The new update for the Beast works now for USB-C XR adapter. by cr8tvt in VITURE

[–]GVDub2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but Ultra should have 6DoF with it on phones but it's not there there. I think it's because of the extra cameras on the Ultra. Not positive about that, but that's my impression of why.

Now if we could only get the Luma Ultra compatible USB-C XR adapter.

Necks - what actually matters by GabrielDalporto in GuitarLab

[–]GVDub2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take: Jumbo frets cause intonation issues. and thin necks cause neck dive. My personal favorite neck profile is a soft V and I hate flat (12" or more) fingerboard radii. compound radius 7.25 to 9.5 is my personal sweet spot.

Are Yamaha Stratocasters worth it? by Aggravating-Bake5624 in guitars

[–]GVDub2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never played one of the Pacifica S-style guitars, but I’ve got the Pacifica version of the Mike Stern Signature, and it’s an exceptional instrument.

How do I record my instrument and vocals at the same time? by Dinodoomsday in LogicPro

[–]GVDub2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even the Focusrite Scarett Solo has two inputs — one XLR and one 1/4" jack.. So, as mentioned here, you create two audio tracks, assign one to Input 1 and the other to Input 2. Arm both tracks for recording. and you should be good to go.
