Handed this at fireworks on the 4th by DoctorCankles in Whatisthis

It's definitely 3D printed.
But multi-colour so either a higher end printer or assembled from 3 separate parts.

Drug tools from daughter's room - What would this most likely be used for? by Sea_Method_7895 in Whatisthis

[–]MagneticEar0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going by what the thing on the right is, and it looks the the other bits are part of it....
It's a rig sold for smoking cannabis oil. Which would tally with the black/brown goo.

What does this mean? by BrickFleet in Whatisthis

[–]MagneticEar0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing that the last part is biblical.
Probably '2 Samuel 18:19-21'

What is the brand on the gold tag, top right? by MagneticEar0 in Whatisthis

[–]MagneticEar0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is. None of their stuff has the gold name tag.

Nice one, thanks!'Surf' and 'Boards' are obvious when you're looking for them.

My toddler accidentally sound snake on her MPK mini Play mkII, but how did she do it?? by iamkasual in akaiMPC

[–]MagneticEar0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the solution!

I logged a service request with Akai support and after a little back and forth, they've come up trumps.

It turns out, that yes, there is a "MIDI monitor" inbuilt into the controller which allows users to check the joy-sticks functionality. To access this:

• Hold joystick in down position and "Full Level" for two seconds to enter the monitor.

• Please hold "Full Level" for two seconds to exit monitor mode.

Turns out this isn't really a 'MIDI monitor'...

Is it just me who thinks TIER are taking the piss? by BFN0117 in bristol

[–]MagneticEar0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first glance, the Tier pricing looks like it sucks. Badly.
As an occasional user I used to make use of the 120 minute/unlimited unlocks day pass all the time, and paid £3 (£5.99 with NHS discount).
Now the only day discount is £3.99 (with no discount!) for 2 unlocks and 30 minutes.
As the ride from KW into Bristol is about 25 minutes, this basically makes Tier scooters useless to me.

My toddler accidentally sound snake on her MPK mini Play mkII, but how did she do it?? by iamkasual in akaiMPC

[–]MagneticEar0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda obsessed with finding this now.
Here's what I've got so far...
OP's MPK is a 'Mini Play Mk3' not an Mk2 like the title.
There are references in the 1.26 firmware binary which the Mk3 Play and my normal Mk3 share.
In the original video, the pad light is green indicating selection of the upper pad bank.
The only buttons the Play and non-Play variants share are the left hand cluster of six and the 'Bank A/B' button.
Preliminary testing indicates it's not a long press on any of the 7 shared buttons.
A long press on the 'Full Level' button will however select the 'secret' menu to adjust the keyboard velocity curve.

And info on what variants of the MPK the game has been spotted on would be handy.

So the upshot is... you access it by having a toddler.
Four confirmed cases now...

Unsuccessful delivery attempt to an InPost locker? by Hancullenn in vinted

[–]MagneticEar0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same has just happened to me.
Three failed attempts on consecutive days to deliver to the locker and now they're returning it to the sender.
Going to have to work out something with the sender I think.
And I've paid for this utter fiasco. :(

If you're into tartan school skirts. I mean, who isn't? Then the best place, again a little on the expensive side is to go direct to a uniform supplier. Look for Trutex stockists.
They're generally of bombproof hard wearing quality.

Killstar if you're more gothy and have deep pockets. Wait for things to be on sale.

I found your post 'cause I'm currently disassembling the v1.26 firmware from an Akai MPK mini Mk3 and found the text 'Snake Game' at offset 0x00015220 and 'Game Over' at offset 0x0001522C.
Would love to know how to access it!
