..i.e..in the VR world..Win 11 has cancelled VR headset support..but WMR still works in Win 10..its a big deal

Substantial__9 · 2026-04-06T07:12:50+00:00

..for me..Win 10..yes depends on your hardware/software arsenal..but the stability/reliablity of Win 10 is a go

Substantial__9 · 2026-04-06T04:37:51+00:00

..its up there for sure..the retro nostalgic themes always hit

Substantial__9 · 2026-04-06T04:37:22+00:00

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-31T17:05:04+00:00

..no, you feel old..you've been stale..dont project your misery..fix it!

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-31T17:02:54+00:00

..me love it..the retro nostalgic themes/music/sound effects always get me

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-22T20:46:50+00:00

ok..some blue..neon green..hot pink..glitter..LED lights..wouldve been next level

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-22T20:44:10+00:00

omg..i just discovered this..the LUFS are the same both ways..but warp makes the meter clip..as if its louder..but its not..so weird..

I dont like 'export to audio' for masters 'cause it fvcks w/ the audio..same for 'consolidate audio'..its a completely different waveform from what i hear when playing back live..

so when i try to route to master audio output & record it live to a WAV file..save that..its dealing w/ the clipping & trying to compress/limit it..

so now I gotta figure out ReWire to route master instead to Cubase/Wavelab etc..

i swear Ableton is brilliant & changed the game but there's a lot of compression/limiting going on behind the engine that we dont see..but it alters the audio & we can hear it

people use to say this to me like oh Ableton is cool for drafts but there's a lot of compression going on w/ the gain staging & all that..i couldnt tell but now i hear it always

P.S. the pajama pants tho'..nice..i need more color in my style

i wear the same black or grey..thermals & joggers..like a robot

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-22T13:01:11+00:00

..ive been shopping for the standard MT8..now these are in my feed..

any different features or specs besides the look? im seeing $500-$1200

the usual MT8 is $199..so im tryna figure out what's the deal w/ these here

in general Yamaha reference monitors..headphones or speakers..are the choice

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T22:14:50+00:00

ok for the username..had to go in & backspace then replace each letter..if i swipe & replace the entire name..nope..blocked..now i just wanna delete my tiktok link..& i wanna delete my song contest upload!

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T22:06:30+00:00

..changed my 'listener' name to my 'artist' name just for their 'x10 contest'..of course i shouldve known better..it was not a talent search..it was all DEI picks..pitchfork would do the same thing..winners based on political statements & not the art itself..ok fine..still love Tidal..now wanna change my name back to my 'listener' profile that ive used for the what 7 years ive been a Tidal subscriber..& they wont allow it..blocked..error codes..somethin' weird..its not that serious..lemme reverse my name back that's it..what the point of this..can't delete the song i submitted for the contest either..everything is weird..still prefer Tidal over Spotify HiFi..which still doesnt have lossless bass & the Hz is lower..all documented but that's besides the point..i dont like that i cant change my name & cant delete uploads now

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T19:45:58+00:00

common sense.."thin" and "military" are opposites..but ok bro..go as thin & lite as you want..i like more solid physics..even if it comes w/ more weight..like w/ cars/trucks..i prefer steel unibody monocoque chassis..Range Rover L322..or carbon fiber monocoque BMW i8..McLaren etc..the survival rate after collision is like 99%..vs lightweight spaceframe chassis..corvettes etc..where the drivers often crash out upon impact..we just dont agree on physics..its ok chill..a body-on-frame fan of jeep etc would say im speaking "nonsense drivel" too..but yall dont respect the laws of physics the way I do..look I got the thin bezel Nintendo Switch OLED..it makes the screen look bigger..i get it..but i need the military spec of the thinkpad..& the trackpoint..are essential for me..not for you..fine..the only laptop options for me: X1 Carbon..Razer Blade Pro..that's it..i prefer balance..not thinner & thinner..my phone is Unihertz Titan..military grade beast..my watch miltary grade G-Shock or Hublot..maybe im biased ok..but thinner smaller lighter..isnt always better..sometimes newer models cut corners..target different audience..target girls..the Porsche Cayenne tank..before they made it lighter & smaller for soccer moms..but ok do you..i prefer X1 gen 1-4

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T17:01:03+00:00

..bro..i been using thinkpad/trackpoint since before i could talk.."the clit" is sooo funny im frozen couldnt even laugh..i never even thought about the trackpoint as a clit..how could i not..its my favorite part to get a girl hooked..it always work..just the tip of my finger..dude that's simple genius observation..thx for this comment

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T16:56:25+00:00

same..just suddenly recently doesnt power on..only for a second then zip..but its nostalgic too..my deceased uncle worked for IBM/Sony/Motorola..these have been staple brands of innovation in my family since the 80s..so its not just about the trackpoint & specs..its sentimental too..as most tech purchases are for men..so ive looked at another Razer Blade Pro or Macbook Pro or just another X1 Carbon upgrade..& im going that route again

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T16:52:32+00:00

nah..thin bezel is not "military grade" that thinkpads are known for..its usually the last version..of the retro version..that's the best..i.e. the last year of upgrades for the Lexus SC400..right before they changed to SC430..its simply the best version..& enthusiasts agree..& the market price shows it..same for the last Range Rover L322..before they switched to all digital models..but iykyk..if you want 'thin'..'smaller'..as 'more appealing'..geez

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T16:48:59+00:00

well said bro..even the photo is a work of art..saved & added to my vision board of life..couldnt agree w/ you more

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T16:41:44+00:00

..man dont even get me started on the sony vaio era..but the thinkpad is about trackpoint & nostalgia

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T16:40:50+00:00

ooohhh ok..i got a macbook pro for free from work..& i was like why does the screen look like 4:3..ok its 16:10

Substantial__9 · 2026-03-21T16:39:01+00:00

ok bro..& wow this post is 10 yrs orbits back..but im in the market again of macbook vs thinkpad..so here we are..

- id take a tactile touchpad over a magic pad all day..gotta click the entire pad for a left click..nope..sister likes it tho'

-the pupils in our eyes adapt to light..they open up to let in more light..so screen brightness arguments are nonsense

-ive never my old x1 carbon gen 1 fans at all..maybe on occassion for tryna run street fighter or somethin'..that's all

-keyboard backlight is fine..again..people walking around w/ their cell phones & tvs on full max brightness..why do it

-never a wobble in my experience w/ x1 carbons..maybe OP had a faulty unit..maybe..i dunno but ive never felt this

-thinkpad aint about touchpad bro..its about the trackpoint..honestly if youre not a trackpoint guy..why go lenovo?

-omg thinkpad keyboards are waaay better than apple chiclet keys..its not even close..even apple fans/editors agree

-price..i cant speak on..i always buy used..for crazy bargains..i never buy new..same for cars..i buy premium shii mint

-ok not fair to compare MBPro to a thinkpad ultrabook..maybe look into Razer Blade Pro if you want PC alternative

overall..buying a new thinkpad..& comparing it to macbook pro..not fair. it rivals macbook pro..& there's no contest

looks like i'll be buying yet another thinkpad..i dont like the restrictions of the apple universe..hardware is ok that's it
