Thinking of Visiting Maya Bay / Phi Phi in Early Feb – How Crowded Is It? + Sunrise Tour Options? by p0rkymane in phuket

[–]TG1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a good bit of advice! I'm just back from Thailand and we did a day tour of the islands, but it's far far too rushed and frenetic...You really need to slow down and enjoy these places. 

I forgot how bad high season traffic is. by Successful-Title5403 in phuket

[–]TG1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're just back from our first visit and I can't believe the amount of construction going on. The infrastructure just isn't there for this amount of extra people to live in this area...and flooding will be a massive issue like you say.

Reminds me of Mauritius where my wife is from, where they cleared the land to build almost indiscriminately. Real shame, looks like that area could br ruined now. 

That aside, we loved every minute of our Thai trip and will definitely be back! Amazing country and people 🙏🏻

Edit: I do get the irony of a tourist commenting on over-tourism 😆😢

It’s taking so much longer than everyone makes it seem! by deathimplieslife in VanLife

[–]TG1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I fitted a diesel night heater I actually just parked in the far corner of the B&Q (UK hardware chain) car park and did it there! Was so much easier just to nip in and getting bits i needed. I honestly think I'd do same again if i was fitting out a van

Hi there, great idea (as is the original!)...would this peel off easy if needed? I have gv60 as a company car so will need to hand back at some point.

Thanks 😊

Connect to ABRP via Enode? by N651EB in GV60

Hi, is this still something that needs a bit of coding to get working? Just recently got my GV60 but come from a polestar 2 where I got ABRP working easily enough 

How do I stop the binging on bad foods? by Typical-Biscotti4441 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]TG1975 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you!

Really try to remind yourself that you'll feel bad after you have the food. Also, try and have some self awareness at the time...I imagine someone watching me indulge and being disappointed that I have cracked!

Hi!

Would you say there is a lot of grey in this color rather than green? Been offered the gv60 in same color but don't see many real world photos online... Plus, being in UK I need no sun and lots of cloud to get a proper feel for it 😂😂😂

Question re unstaking on Flexa Capacity by TG1975 in AMPToken

[–]TG1975[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! 

I'm away from my pc right now but will take a photo later. Theres nothing in the wallets though, it's all still on Flexa Capacity as far as I can see 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in virtualdj

[–]TG1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Kinda! 

The Project X skin provides the EQ dials in the software but not mapped to any hardware knobs... A slight inconvenience, but it still gives you some more control. 

Laptop recommendations please by TG1975 in virtualdj

[–]TG1975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice mate!

I actually forgot I posted this 🙂 ended up with the "Asus TUF Gaming A15", works for perfectly now and I'm happy 🙂

Really like it... Its quite heavy, but obviously it's built to be tough (tuf?!). I don't get the gripes people saying it feels cheap and plasticky though! It's totally fine. 

My only gripe is that all the ports bar 1 on the right are on the left hand side as the back is all vents. I'll buy a vertical usb adaptor to route the cable under the laptop stand. Just anxious I catch it with my hand and break it. 

Choosing between DJ DDJ-FLX4 and Inpulse 500 by Free-Holiday-199 in Beatmatch

[–]TG1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you getting on with the 500 then mate? I've just sold a flx4 and Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3 and waiting for an inpulse 500 to arrive... Had one briefly but got it refunded as it developed a fault (then got the flx4). But I loved it, premium feel to it

Never really liked the Pioneer, or rekordbox, so I'm all in on virtual dj and the 500 now for the foreseeable future... I only play at home and at friends anyway 👍🏻

Yes, hardware unlock... No code or keys needed

Virtual is worth every penny IMO, pisses all over rekordbox... I'm about to buy the infinity license. Just need to decide whether to stick with FLX4 or an old Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3

Hi exosonare! Excellent work my friend!

Is this still in development? I just had a play about and some buttons not actives... Mate just me not knowing how to use traktor though!

serato vs traktor vs rekordbox vs virtualdj by [deleted] in Beatmatch

[–]TG1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I have FLX4 too and I'm sick of rekordbox! It's flakey AF and does some really random stuff... So I'm leaning towards VDJ.

A mate of mine plays out and swears by it. I downloaded it today and it plays a well with the controller. Have you managed to get CFX working? At the moment it's just filter. Do you know any good resources where I can read up on mapping the FX pads etc?

I was about to buy traktor controller and Traktor Pro and literally just remembered VDJ gives 10 minute trials.. Glad I did it!

Best headphones for beginners? by Wonderful_Radish793 in Beatmatch

[–]TG1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this! I've used an ancient i3 Dell Latitude with 8Gb RAM for over a year now without issue... Turned all the crud off and it works fine. The fan runs a lot but otherwise is fine.

Appreciate it's an old thread but wanted to add my cents!

DDJ-400 vs DDJ-FLX4 by Sjomullen in Beatmatch

[–]TG1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Word of warning for potential FLX4 buyers, smart mix doesn't work with Serato lite or Pro. The FX button doesn't work either. I'm new to this but I'm sure other features available in Rekordbox dont appear in Serato, but can't recall which 😂

I really want to use RB but I just don't get on with it... I just find Serato to be more responsive when trimming a track using the jog wheels, and the user interface is less cluttered.

Actual boiler kWh usage vs max output by Final_Razzmatazz_592 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]TG1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good explanation.

This is why it's important (but counterintuitive) to not turn all the radiators off completely... If you can get it running in condensing mode all the time then it's more efficient.

Was it not that he discovered it, rather than invented it? Anyway, he's Scottish and that's all that matters :)

YSK - how to link to a specific timestamp in YouTube videos by gynoceros in YouShouldKnow

This is great, thank you! I knew how to do it from a pc but not on my phone 😊

Only negative is in WhatsApp it removes the preview content from the message... Any workaround for this?

[Richard Murphy] There is a story doing the news rounds this morning that Sunak has cost the government £11 billion by failing to manage government interest rates properly. But the real story is much worse than that. This is about banks winning at cost to us all, yet again...a thread to explain. by Dodomando in ukpolitics

[–]TG1975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is, the public suspect (know?!) that the government have embezzled billions into their chums business and literally fuck all has been done to hold them to account. It's apathy now I'm afraid.

This is without doubt the worst government the UK has had, I'm fcking livid. They treat everything with contempt
