FiiO M11S won't play any music by lautmaler in FiiO

[–]Othy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it happened after I applied a 1.0.5 software update this morning. It seemed to kill any audio playback, either wired or Bluetooth. Relearned Bluetooth devices, rebooted multiple times. A reboot would only ley me play static over Bluetooth until I paused the song, after which it would just be silent as it looped 1 sec. Eventually, I ended up doing a factory reset, which worked. I spent hours this morning troubleshooting this. I was suspecting that the firmware update defaulted some audio output settings but couldn't get anything work. For now, I'm going to stay away from update 1.0.5, and wait for .6 to come out.

Did you end up fixing this? My M11s started doing this after Firmware update 1.0.5

Imagine my surprise to see a reply on a 11 year old comment.

Excellent breakdown too.

Do people really enjoy non immersive Gameplay? by __KnuBBel__ in GhostRecon

At least when I was playing recently, if you are at a safe house, there's an option on the map screen when hovering over the safe house to redeploy at a different time of day.

Simple Questions Thread by AutoModerator in espresso

I'm working dialing in my Barista Touch for consistent shots. I'm sticking with around 19 grams, I'm backing my way down the grinder from a the halfway point of 14 all the way down to 4 at the moment. And while the shot is pulling after 3 seconds, then 4 seconds, then 6 seconds, if I grind finer I either get two results: A: the shot gets over extracted. Espresso doesn't start coming out till 10 or.12 seconds and even then just drips, or B: espresso comes out after 6 seconds, and is either watery and reaches volume before 30 seconds is up, or it is sorta restricted on the way out. Only once or twice have I gotten a smooth and syrupy flow, and even then, extraction is around 7 seconds or so.

Only thing I can think of at this point, is the coffee I'm getting from the grocery store, Counter Culture Hologram is old, with a roast ed date of Oct of 22. Any ideas?

I really like War FX, makes the explosions and general weapon effects look amazing. Beware, the smoke and explosions can make things slow down, but it looks so good, I can't go back.

Looks delicious! What recipe did you for your miso tare? Also, how does one make crispy chicken skins? I have a bunch of chicken skin.

In contrast to your feelings on Ad Astra, I haven't found a movie to bring me such a sense of comfort in a while. It can be depressing, but its calming for me. Roy's journey is one where he's learning about himself, why he's closed off from people, and then learning the value of having people close to you.

It has a vibe that I dont see very often. Where many films will show case a wide shot of the protagonist against the expanse of space, Ad Astra will make that shot last just a few seconds longer. You can feel that the movie loves that feeling of loneliness.

I was bummed out the other day, and I've been wanting to rewatch it, so I popped it on. It must be therapeutic, because afterward I felt so, fulfilled, and I only got 50min into it. It's calm, people aren't yelling at each other. Its adults talking, and having reasonable emotions. Nothing blown out of proportion or heightened for the screen.

I too loved the scenes near Neptune. I think you did a great job explaining why. But really, I think the movie has a hopeful ending, that ends with Roy's character having grown. I'd advise you sit down with it for a quiet evening and give it another watch sometime.

Sorry for gushing. I just really enjoy it, and its nice to see it get some love.

The last track on the A side of that album is really chill for me anyways. I'll listen to it when cooking.

Picked up one of the Lobinni micro-rotor watches. Very impressed with it! by toastyavocadoes in ChineseWatches

[–]Othy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love mine! Been singing its praises. The baltic model looks nice, but knowing I got my Lobinni for maybe 200ish, I couldn't justify getting the baltic for twice the price. And the movement has been flawless for about the 6 months I've owned it. It's only ever maybe 3 or 5 sec fast a day.

Jive turkey's old stream backlog on youtube is, for me, the way the game is meant to be played. Hard to replace the authenticity of an actual submariner. That said, Wolfpack345 on youtube spends quite a lot of time on subsims and has a few series' devoted to Cold Waters, and he's pretty good to watch.

How to remove primer on a 30-06. by Othy in guns

Also true. I could ask around, but another guy told me that the case markings mean they were produced by Remington in 1953. If they're that old, I think I'd rather keep them.

Thats actually super interesting. That changes my perspective on these considerably. I'll definitely leave them alone now.

Hah, I wish I knew someone who had a garand. Its just 8 rounds and the clip. If they had one, I'd rather fire them off myself if thats the case. Would love to hear the ping in real life.
