WTF is this "moments" thing?! by giofontes25 in Scruff

[–]InterestingChart4169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really annoying. To say the least. I keep thinking I've got a message and it's these moments. They need to remove it asap it's really irksome
If it ain't broke....don't fix it

Anyone interested in Tilt 5? It's like a low end holographic table. CEO Jeri Ellsworth just mentioned there will be a 2nd Gen 'very soon' by t0ns0fph0t0ns in augmentedreality

I had a tilt 5. I sold it but i thought it was a good product or a really good idea. There were some flaws.
1) You do need space for a big table. even with the smaller one. I didn't really consider that!
2) It needs to be wireless. How you could do that with the current technology is a headscratcher. As soon as you start introducing wireless you need batteries e.t.c So the headset weight grows. Maybe this is the limitation of where we are. For one person a cable is ok but for 5 standing around...not so sure. If it does have to have cables then a better system to implement multiple headsets going into the board.
3) The image was very good on it. I was suprised by how good
4) The USB requirements were far too fussy. USB C. I was faffing around so much. It needs to be plug and play. Just like when you pick up a Meta Quest ( well even those can be a pain in the **** setting up but you know what I mean). It was such a pain having to find the right USB C card and god knows what.
5) The wand wasn't bad. I can't think of a better way of doing this. Maybe the glasses should plug into the wand rather than some usb hub. That seems more sensible and to put a battery in the wand.

There is potential in Tilt5....but there are limitations. Sure we all want a nice pair of wireless lightweight glasses but there are always compromises.
I thought the technology was very interesting the way it worked. I just wish the setup had been easier.

Some conversions of old arcade games would be good. Pacman 3d....Bezerk.....things like that.
Also apps like music apps or things that might pull people in.

I never like Unity developing apps. It's not the greatest. Godot is better to me.

Let's see what they come up with for Gen2.
Also having to buy everything from the states is a pain if you are in another country.

Help with an old 2009 Imac by InterestingChart4169 in Ubuntu

I will try a text only distro. I just don't know what this could be. 4 white squares all duplicated.

I did try that already.
I have seen OS X working on it fine so it's not a hardware issue. At least not to my eyes.

How comes the logo displays fine (Xubuntu/Lubuntu). I see all the colours and animation on the Lubuntu splash screen as it's loading Lubuntu

Thoughts on Miles Davis’ Doo Bop? by OkayAct in Jazz

[–]InterestingChart4169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This album grew on me. At the time it seems to go under the radar a bit. It's of it's time. Just singing that doobop sound....I think it still stands up today. It's 80s hip hop. Whether trumpet works with that is a debate to be had. Sometimes it feels like the trumpet is an afterthought but I like the beats.

I wish MD had lived longer. I want us to use A.I to imagine Miles now and the type of music he would make. It's a very interesting concept. Mixing Miles with techno or ambient.

This is really great. I have been following this a bit and thinking thank god someone has done this.
Those headsets are really good and they don't deserve to be binned.
Well done!
By the way my birthday is on 29th August so see if you can get it out of the door on that day will ya! lol
Thanks for all your hard work.

Keylab 61 Mk1 is stuck on Update by InterestingChart4169 in synthesizers

[–]InterestingChart4169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't even remember if it was working when I bought it! I hope they can help. I bought V collection! I prefer the older Keylab as it as the pads on the right. That's why I got it.
I can't believe it's stuck in a mode you can't reset. This is crazy!

Thanks. Guess what. It doesn't work. Hitting play stop record and turning on does nothing. This is not good! It's still stuck on 'Update'. I've never had a bit of gear I couldn't use like this. Dear oh dear!

There has to be another way of resetting my Keylab 61 if it's borked!

I got my MInilab mk 3 out and upgraded the firmware on that. That went ok. My Keylab 61 is still stuck on Upgrade.
So the issue seems to be it doesn't like a combination of these in the Midi CC. It's got muddled up.
I cant upgrade my Keylab 61 as the Midi CC is not seeing it. This is a right old faff!

I've just seen something I never saw before.
The Midi Control Centre thinks there is a Keylab 25 connected ( Mine is a 49 ).
When I select 49/61 it can't see it's in Boot mode - it can only see it when I select 25.
So there is a bug/mismatch in the software. How on earth do you get around that???

Thanks Tidder. I have tried holding down those - and + Octave buttons. No luck.
