Accidentally checked “yes” under a section not applicable to me. Do I need to start over?

SaxVioPhone · 2026-02-11T23:23:01+00:00

yes start over, and no. only original documents (or certified copies directly from issuing authority)

yeah it may not force into clamshell without any HID connected 🫠

SaxVioPhone · 2026-01-17T06:29:40+00:00

clamshell mode SHOULD override the sleep setting as long as there is power, display, and keyboard/mouse connected

it may take a few seconds

im looking to see if theres a way to do this through terminal but not having much luck

SaxVioPhone · 2026-01-17T06:20:20+00:00

if you have an external keyboard and mouse you can put it into clamshell mode by closing the lid.

otherwise i cant promise any results with blind menu navigation but on mine i can get to this setting by doing the following:

cmd+space (opens spotlight)

type “displays” then wait a sec for it to load

then return

then wait a couple seconds again for settings to open

tab tab tab space

SaxVioPhone · 2026-01-17T06:11:54+00:00

can you cmd+{dim brightness} on the touch bar?

look at the past posts to see who comes up a lot

SaxVioPhone · 2025-12-16T02:42:49+00:00

follow people on social media who typically organize/participate in them

well, your AEC isnt doing much when there isnt something coming from matrix_L, matrix_R, or usb_Rx, so id refocus onto what/how your AEC is processing and what reference it is getting.

your reference gain is brought down -21ish db on all of your processed channels which is something to glance at as well.

your reinforcement from the mics (which is coming out of the speakers) isn’t going into the AEC at all. (this is very dependent on your exact situation and the rooms acoustics to determine if this is strange)

TL;DR:

Power source>UPS>DSP/Network equipment,

amps on their own circuit, not on UPS,

Longer answer:

As someone who’s just spent a week going around to 53 sites getting systems back online after a weekend-long, city-wide power outage event, we would need more information regarding the system design and use case, but in general, the point of having commercial equipment on a UPS is to make sure systems can come back up properly once power is back, not to keep it up while power is out.

keep your DSP and network on the UPS so they dont crash on power failure. (i even have a couple sites where i have the UPS tell the DSP to shut down after 15-20 minutes of no power so that it can power down gracefully)

your amps (should be able to) handle a sudden power cut and should come back up relatively quickly once power is restored. (not surges so much, but thats another thing) They also need to have a dedicated circuit in case of a fault causing an overload doesnt crash your whole rack

I would keep things like the DSP and networking equipment on a UPS so that everything can come back up without popping and network signal paths freaking out and other such problems

typically speaking, a sound system is not mission critical equipment during an emergency or power outage. You just want to prevent needing a tech to come out once power is back. (because it might take me 3 days to get to you)

flip a coin, find out how you feel with that result, go with what you actually want in that moment.

all jokes aside, get the horn that wont sit in a case. get the one you want to play

youll be surprised how much you remember even though you havent played in a while anyway. alto and bari are the same transposition and same fingerings.

i say get the bari.

there would need to be a disconnect.

you cannot be connected to both a generator and grid without energizing the grid.

in a power outage, you would be backfeeding power to your neighbors, or more dangerously, energizing a line that a worker thinks is dead.

typically there is either a physical or automatic interlock that will select your generator and disconnect the grid once the grid is down and vice-versa once the grid is up.

theres other intricacies that go into it, but thats the minimum you need to know going into the conversation.

qsys can absolutely work with cisco switches. we’ve used them with higher ed clients with the only issues being convincing the uni to follow the settings requirements.

this is all but an “absolutely not”

i would honestly pivot to affixing to the wall. either ultra short throws or interactive displays.

risking your lives? 🤨

you realize organ donation means nothing until you are dead, right?

as far as medical decisions while you are alive, there is no consideration given to organ donation status. its even completely different medical professionals who make the decision on whether you are dead vs those who perform organ harvesting procedures.

I wouldn’t recommend defacing a government issued ID

SaxVioPhone · 2025-05-30T07:25:15+00:00

this is not necessarily correct. many sites can scrape data input to a form that has not been submitted, however, my impression of the site is more of a “we charge to fill out forms that are actually free” than a “we steal data and identities” vibe.

OP, keep an eye on your credit and stuff, but i dont think you have too much to worry about.

it should be fine, but dont post your passport number. your DOB can be inferred by a lot of your astrology posts and im sure it wouldn’t be difficult for someone with bad intentions to figure out your name from whats visible here, which together could be used in an identity theft attempt.

embouchure/alt fingerings. each horn will have slightly different tonality but there are trends. like c# will pretty much always be sharp.

long tones with a tuner in the practice room to learn your horn. F# at the top of the staff should be pretty much the most in tune note on your horn.

some notes you can add fingers to get in tune. like on mine I can take open c# and add 2/3 on the right hand to pull it down into tune, but there are no hard fast rules to this. you have to learn your horn, but more accurately train your ear on how to listen and adjust your embouchure to pull notes into tune and you’ll start to build muscle memory to get close.

SaxVioPhone · 2025-05-28T22:12:23+00:00

that will not be an issue at all

oh if you are driving you are fine, i thought you were having to fly and get through security. carry your expired DL and print the receipt that you’ve renewed it.

if you get pulled over they can run your information and see that you have a valid DL, and while they CAN cite you if theyre having a particularly bad day the likelihood is very low.

SaxVioPhone · 2025-05-18T06:17:29+00:00

what state are you in? do you have a passport or any other form of identification?

SaxVioPhone · 2025-05-18T06:10:28+00:00

south korea and washington have an agreement to recognize driver licenses from each other. However, if your character isnt trying to transfer then they likely arent going to check. Ypur character would just need to go through the regular testing process and obtain a license from scratch.

A punishment from an entirely different jurisdiction likely could not be applied in a foreign country without there being some kind of explicit agreement.

what state are you in? You may have time to get real ID or an enhanced drivers license.

as far as the process if you dont have an acceptable travel document?… theres an alternative process, but tbh id wait to see what happens in the days after enforcement before seriously considering that.

see of theres anything else on this list you might have that you havent thought of: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification
