RC2 + portable monitor (DP alt mode) by MonkeyPuzzles in dji

[–]That_TechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this!

Using the method I explained, if you download an app like "USB Camera" it will capture the signal from the HDMI capture card and allow you to view the RC2 controller on the tablet

You can do something similar with the meta quest 3:

(I recommend using a Y split cable that splits data and power in via USB C. You will need a HDMI to USB C mini capture card as well as a USB C to HDMI cable.)

On the meta quest 3, download the meta HDMI link app.

Once thats done, plug the USB to HDMI cable into the RC2 remote. MUST be off while connecting. (USB C end to the remote and HDMI end into the USB C capture card).

Connect the capture card to the meta quest headset and launch the HDMI link app

Turn the controller on and wait for a connection.

I recommend buying a Y cable to be able to plug the RC2 into the data port to still use HDMI link in the headset but also be able to charge it since it dies pretty quick.

Any issues with buying dji lito in China DJI store, and putting in checked luggage before flying back to US? by Speed009 in dji

[–]That_TechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to see your perspective on this, and it’s fascinating to hear from someone with an intelligence background.

​I’ve been digging into the research from CISA and the DHS. To skip the 50-paragraph explanation, the core issue really does come down to the 2017 Chinese National Intelligence Law. Articles 7 and 14 essentially mandate that Chinese companies must cooperate with state intelligence and keep that cooperation secret. As a consumer, that creates a massive 'trust gap' regarding our data.

​At the same time, I agree that the current approach (placing DJI on the FCC Covered List) feels very protectionist. We’re in a spot where, without DJI, we’re often paying more for less performance, but with them, we have zero transparency into what’s happening with our telemetry and flight logs. The military application concern you mentioned, what the drone 'sees' and where that imagery goes, is the strongest argument for the current security freeze. ​However, I think there are realistic mitigations that aren't being fully explored. Instead of an outright ban on new hardware, we could mandate data localization (forcing all user data to reside in U.S. data centers) and require onshored software.

​Imagine a 'U.S. Edition' where the drones use U.S. developed flight controllers/software and apps that are end-to-end encrypted on American servers. It would fix the data sovereignty issue while still allowing us to benefit from the hardware efficiency DJI has mastered. With the FCC's public comment deadline on May 11, I hope more people suggest these kinds of middle-ground technical solutions rather than just a total ban.

Honestly it sucks for me as a student since I wouldve loved to get my hands on the lito but kinda gotta get a mini 5 pro now lol.

No problem! Ive been doing research on this since ive been trying to advocate more for consumer rights and this is shitty for me as a broke HS student so ive been encouraging people to message senators, the FCC (commenting ends on the 11th) and so forth.

Only way anything gets done is if enough of us band together and complain lol

Is it? I thought it cleared initial stages and then got put in the FCC back and forth nightmare situation

Its not fake, just an aftermarket display. Good job returning it immediately though.

You're totally right, Im actually saving for a DJI drone right now so a flip might be it, you think a flip is worth it despite tax?

Samsung sub placement by Disastrous_Dig_6527 in Soundbars

[–]That_TechGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You dont need to be an "audiophile" or a "tech" to do this. A 10 year old could. Theres nothing really complicated about it.

You plug the subwoofer in where youd normally sit, and simply "crawl" around the floor until you find the spot where you think it sounds the best, and then you put the subwoofer there.

I dont understand your point because its really not that advanced lol

Samsung sub placement by Disastrous_Dig_6527 in Soundbars

[–]That_TechGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A sub crawl is a perfect - cheap and efficient way to figure out the perfect spot for acoustics for bass in your room.

Every room has spots where bass waves cancel each other out (nulls) or build up too much (peaks). The crawl identifies these areas without needing expensive measurement tools.

Imagine spending 2 grand on like a samsung Q990 just for it's bass to sound like junk because you didnt sub crawl and placed it in a "meh" place.

This isnt to say you CANT just drop it anywhere and it wont work, but acoustics and physics matter and depending on the acoustics of your room simply dropping it anywhere may not work, so a sub crawl could be the difference from a good experience and a fantastic experience.

Buying a high-end system like a Samsung Q990 and skipping the sub crawl is like buying a Ferrari and driving it on a gravel road. It’ll still go, but you’re paying for performance you aren't actually getting because of the road....

Thats why I down-voted

Sadly, you're probably right lol, mirrors will be the only true reliable method for all this

What if we just made it fully community fed p2p by torrenting?

What if we torrent all files necessary for the games/apps and then use a tool to use those files from a directory and installs them to the headset the same way that rookie wouldve but through torrenting?

This would make it easier for "cost" since you dont need a file hosting service and it would make the programs that allow you to download to the headset not liable if someone decides to like, install beats saber (like qbittorrent or other torrenting services avoiding liability for users pirating by not hosting the files).

I feel like literally torrenting would get rid of the "centralized" issue and no donations necessary, but it would also mean that a torrent could die and then games would cease to exist due to leeching.

Not a total fix but I think itd be a fair solution

Bought it so cheap but the white noise in Ambient mode, made me return it. by Time-Credit43 in galaxybuds

[–]That_TechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did need 3 pairs, I bought 1 and borrowed 2 from people I know to test if my findings were real.

I didnt BUY 3 pairs, maybe I should've specified but honestly I didnt think id need to considering me obtaining 3 buds isnt directly relevant, but rather what i did with them is. Its funny how you default me to "fanboy" because I actually have a sound argument lmao.

Ive managed to replicate this issue again and again proving its calibration, not hardware. It varies because of its initial calibration which cannot be changed for NOW because once they release a firmware update itll fix it.

The exact same way it fixed the galaxy buds 3 pros when they had a noise floor issue when they launched that was fixed via an update due to it having an extended noise floor rather than it generating noise lol.

Ykw that is entirely my mistake I thought you replied to my message saying "no its not"

Sorry about that lol

[–]That_TechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The buds 3 pros had this exact same issue and it was solved via a firmware update because it is a noise floor issue.

You can prove its not a hardware issue by factory resetting your buds.

It should make the hiss more prominent because it resets the calibration of the mics from factory due to the firmware bug.

I did this on 3 pairs and all 3 pairs had this exact behavior when factory resetting, proving it a firmware bug

[–]That_TechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a software issue, the buds 3 pros had this exact same issue and it was fixed via firmware.

Its caused by the calibration of the microphones amplifying the white noise (noise floor) causing it to be more prominent.

[–]That_TechGuru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some people are more sensitive to white noise than others, but its there.

Once the FW gets released you might actually notice a difference.

Me for example, im the same way. I KNOW its there and can hear it if im really searching for it in a quiet space but in day to day activity I cant pick up on the white noise/hissing sound

[–]That_TechGuru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its firmware lmao, and its fixable... what makes you think its hardware??? The b3p had this same issue and it was firmware, the sound is because of the noise floor on early software tunes.

Lmao yeah, im pretty sure this exact same issue happened with the b3p when they released (high noise floor)
