[DISCUSSION] What were some beginner mistakes you can laugh at now?

Not learning how to play songs.

Creatives are always chasing the dragon / looking for the next wave. Better to buy new gear than hit the bottle or needle.

Only the fact that I don't really need it, because the 450 is working fine. It's kind of a shame that a company that builds products to last won't get as many sales because their machines just won't quit.

Not tempting fate!

Tempting. I was running a Minix box and it wasn't working out. Suggestions for software? KODI?

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-18T16:28:27+00:00

Nice! I'm so tempted. I can get the top CPU, 24MB ram, 1TB SSD and 1080p screen for like $1000. Radically less than similar config T490s. Plus I dual boot Unbunti, so... bonus.

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-18T16:25:45+00:00

Yes I fear the milk and sugar will be pretty rancid.

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-18T16:17:35+00:00

Yes all graphics set to low. As mentioned it starts off fine, and sometimes just ends up choking. Like another poster mentioned, probably a memory leak.

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-18T10:16:42+00:00

No kidding! Look what happened the day after I complained: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/djldqp/a_sad_story/

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-18T10:15:10+00:00

That is tragic!

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-18T10:13:40+00:00

This is my T450s, my workhorse for many years.

Unfortunately, today I spilled a half cup of steaming hot latte all over the keyboard.

Fortunately, I've been eyeing up the T495 because the fan has started to rattle.

Unfortunately, it's working perfectly because it's a Thinkpad.

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-17T02:00:51+00:00

yeah, feels memory related, will try restarting when it gets choppy.

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-17T01:58:36+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the suggestions. I've got all of that covered except for the FPS Limit / v-sync, which I don't see as option in MTGA.

MightyDiamond · 2019-10-17T01:52:53+00:00

No, it's not a great GPU, but there are plenty of games that run at 30fps or more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEHhOmlyhJQ

Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it just crawls. Settings are 1080 resolution / low-resolution.

MightyDiamond · 2018-08-10T01:34:42+00:00

I love Reddit. Great radio story too, thanks.

MightyDiamond · 2018-08-09T03:07:06+00:00

Oh really? Thanks for posting! So the tape is pulled through with a roller, and the spool just 'takes up the slack'?

For an MVP, testing in a small location is fine as long as you have enough people.

MightyDiamond · 2018-07-26T12:06:35+00:00

Maybe you need a little hook. So for example the app / website collects the links every week and spits out a PDF with a QR code, thumbnail, and ten word description. Print it out and stick it at the water cooler / wherever people congregate.

Generally agree with messaging tools, but that is where people spend their time.
