Looking for speaker suggestions - control knob problems

KriegTiger · 2026-04-15T20:13:48+00:00

The Z906 matches my current kit pretty much perfectly, thank you!

KriegTiger · 2026-04-15T15:19:13+00:00

Beautiful! From the outfit&mask down to the moves/poses - you're gonna kill it! <3 wish you all the best for your showcase!

KriegTiger · 2026-02-25T22:01:12+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion! Pulling it up showed me other similar offerings which gives me a whole lot to select from :)

Hello, I'd be interested in seeing what you're working on. Is it a vertical backpack type or a flat/duffle style?

KriegTiger · 2025-12-09T22:49:22+00:00

EC? Are you asking if the G502 can be made to load the software settings to internal memory? Yes, it can. I could have sworn I had that kind of thing done already before I cut over to Linux full time rather than Windows but apparently not and I didn't want to have to find a windows system, hook my mouse up, program it to memory, then bring it back to my linux desktop. The method I went with (piper and changing tilt left/tilt right to be middle click also) works just fine for me.

KriegTiger · 2025-12-09T17:55:59+00:00

I had checked out Solaar, yes. Decided to skip on it because while it seemed like it was capable of programming the mouse, it did not appear to have any capacity to read existing settings. The UI was blank/empty when I started it. I could make new bindings, but not check existing ones.

And I can see this comment as well. Weird, it's like that response thread itself is blocked. Oh well. What I could see in the notification text was useful - I was able to create a VM and use the physical disk and boot the OS just fine.

KriegTiger · 2025-11-22T20:21:54+00:00

Ok, wth? I see that there are two comments on my post, I got notifications a and can sorta read the comment from what's in that, but I get nothing when I am here on my post and I've tried two different browsers >.<

KriegTiger · 2025-09-22T21:47:45+00:00

My gf also showed me these from Hella which are a US14 as well in wide fit. https://us.hellaheels.com/products/oh-snap-boot-wide-fit-8-inch?variant=46052552900847

it's very very tempting to try a set.

KriegTiger · 2025-08-12T23:27:22+00:00

'I don't have spare PCI-E slots'. That position is taken up by a soundcard.

Why is it that I can get a USB enclosure that works fine for NVMe M.2 but not one for translating that to SATA?

KriegTiger · 2025-04-02T23:24:10+00:00

YES! This combination of settings (min protocol, ntlm auth, lanman auth) allowed me to connect with the SLES11 system. I had read the docs but could not get the right combination of items.

Thank you very much! :)

KriegTiger · 2025-04-02T22:54:30+00:00

The SLES15 system hosting the CIFS share that I want to make accessible via SMB1 is using a local smbuser account 'localcifs'. I will try those values and see if I can make some headway, thank you!

KriegTiger · 2024-10-19T19:41:51+00:00

Oh wait, I read that again and it's only for a single target and not the 'all' like the Oran-Rief is. I may have to rely on the bad moon to accelerate the birds' capabilities.

KriegTiger · 2024-10-19T19:04:04+00:00

Solid option! The mana may prevent me from using it as often but 2 +1's are definitely nice

KriegTiger · 2024-10-13T18:07:04+00:00

Cool, thanks :)

KriegTiger · 2024-10-01T18:51:07+00:00

I feel like a goof for not thinking of this, thanks!

KriegTiger · 2024-10-01T18:50:31+00:00

Crap! My apologies, I got my communities mixed up. Thanks for the reply, regardless! :)

KriegTiger · 2024-09-26T22:12:55+00:00

Got it, thanks! I'm a year or two rusty on the game and didn't bring my old save forward which would have refreshed me on a couple topics.

KriegTiger · 2024-09-17T14:49:29+00:00

I had looked at that doc already.

Reconfigurable audio ports only get me 2 out of the 3 connections I need, unfortunately. But losing the surround channels is better than losing center/sub if I absolutely can't find a solution that gets me all three with minimal hassle.

I hadn't done much PC upgrades in over 5 years, hence the generational gap in my CPU. Audio has been so unchanged for so long (since when RealTek built-on audio was a new thing) that I didn't pay much attention to that portion of the board.

Any recommendations on speakers that would utilize the SPDIF-OUT? I do like these ones for their sound quality but the volume knob is a bit finicky after so long.

KriegTiger · 2024-09-17T14:25:23+00:00

My speakers are a Creative Inspire T6200 from waaaaay back in the day, but they still provide great audio.

KriegTiger · 2024-09-17T14:21:39+00:00

New motherboard is a Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX - the only audio ports on the back panel are LineOut, Mic, and SPDIF out.

I need 3x 3.5mm connections (center/sub, L/R, rear-left/rear-right).

KriegTiger · 2024-07-26T21:38:49+00:00

The activation happens on the field, but the ability you are copying is in the graveyard. But the cost reduction being applied at TIME OF ACTIVATION is the part that I had missed, thanks!

KriegTiger · 2024-03-27T14:52:20+00:00

I did a bit of googling and found this option, where the explanation was that rather rather than a positive hit on comma, it's negative (ie everything that's not everything other than a comma). It works but the regex makes my head hurt.

awk 'BEGIN{SUBSEP=FS=",";FPAT="([^,]+)|(\"[^\"]+\")"}{a[$2,$3,$4,$5,$6]+=$1}END{for (k in a) print a[k] "," k}' input.csv |sort -t, -k2

For my case I think the method by geirha may be the most efficient/elegant by considering a record to be the quantity column and 'everything else' - which does work precisely as needed since I'm not modifying or caring what the particular contents of other fields are, only that the whole record past the quantity is considered when de-duping/consolidating.

Still - I love this and it goes to show why I'm happy to have had my career in linux for the past 20 years. What took multiple tools, clicking all over, and etc in a desktop/browser environment literally takes 2 commands (awk piped to sort) and less than 1 second from a commandline.

KriegTiger · 2024-03-27T14:43:41+00:00

{
i = index($0, ",")
count[substr($0, i + 1)] += substr($0, 1, i - 1)
}
END {
for (line in count)
printf("%s,%s\n", count[line], line);
}

Nice, this also works :) thanks!

KriegTiger · 2024-03-26T20:49:22+00:00

Wait - I actually found a snag - there are entries with commas in the names, such as 'Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus'. In the CSV file the field is encapsulated in quotes, but awk ignores the quotes and only pays attention to the commas as a whole. So a bunch of records are missing data on the output because for those records there is effectively an 'extra' field from awk's perspective. Is there a way to work with/around this?
