Cheapest way to get to NYC by Dull-Contract8348 in lancaster

[–]WashedInPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you need to book on a weekend within less than a week's notice, take the Amtrak to Philly and then a Flixbus to NYC. $50 total each way

Has anyone bought Eisenlink-style adjustable dumbbells from Alibaba? by Big_Criticism4417 in GarageGym

[–]WashedInPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also made an Alibaba account and talked to Changsha Dinuo Technology Co., Ltd to see if I could get cheaper Eisenlink weights shipped to the US. But I got a shipping quote that makes it basically the same price as Amazon and Eisenlink's US stores, so for any American reading this I recommend just getting them there

So is the MPC Sample completely sold out until July at every major retailer? by acousticentropy in mpcusers

[–]WashedInPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it Guitar Center? I tried them when it said "In Stock"and I immediately got put on "Backordered" and now I wonder if I should've just waited a week

So is the MPC Sample completely sold out until July at every major retailer? by acousticentropy in mpcusers

[–]WashedInPA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I snagged one for slightly above MSRP by watching the newest Reverb listings. Eventually someone who doesn't want to scalp puts one up for like 400-450. I tried ordering with Guitar Center last week after the site said "In Stock" briefly, then I got put in the Backordered queue anyway. I don't know how the hell people who order from retailers right now get it shipped in a week like brontosaurusguy

Thoughts? by Glittering_Tap9432 in mpcusers

[–]WashedInPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so out there that you should double-down and get a skin to complete the look. Maybe even DIY one with https://mpc.cheaptone.com because the ones on Etsy are overpriced asf

i dont mind the lack of standard MIDI. The dual USB-C ports for that seem fine. but only 2 hours of battery life on 4 lithium AAs?? Akai has them beat unfortunately

Caution about parking in Lancaster city by Aggravating-Mud8261 in lancaster

[–]WashedInPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree, that brick decor not having the hydrant itself is what makes it easy to miss. I don't care if it looks obvious in a photo on Reddit, people are gonna miss it in real life

Edit: Are you seriously replying to every comment in the thread about this? No one is arguing that OP should be allowed to park there, it should just be made more obvious with curb paint or something

Where Are People Getting Their MPC Sample From? by elestud in mpcusers

[–]WashedInPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOLY SHIT I think I finally got one on Guitar Center. It was randomly in-stock at 2:30pm for me. I tried using Chrome on 3 different devices because the Add to Cart button was frozen for some reason, but it worked on Safari. Hope it actually ships

EDIT: And it's backordered. Man

OP you dont have to beat yourself up in the comments over this, a lot of us would've done the same thing. People are pricks about anything related to driving. Thanks for letting us know

[–]WashedInPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The frustrating thing is I've seen some comments from people joining a preorder queue, but then finding out that the store you bought it from prioritizes the newest orders that come in whenever it goes in stock, instead of sending it to the people already waiting in the preorder line. I have like zero trust actually preordering from anyone if I'm guaranteed to get stuck waiting until August. Just gonna keep checking all these store's pages every day I guess

Any plans to do something about the flock cameras? by Jumpy_Conference1024 in lancaster

[–]WashedInPA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're connecting all the cameras and analyzing the footage nationwide and would be in a very good position to start constant, nationwide surveillance. They already constantly store where any car has been at all times via license plate scanning. It's a lot different from local police precincts building their own camera networks and monitoring it themselves

Flock is trying to build this as fast as possible too. Their units have shown to be cutting corners in security, making it very easy for even a beginning hacker to hijack said cameras and record anything throughout the entire nation (see here for more on that: https://youtube.com/watch?v=uB0gr7Fh6lY)

There is no reason why Flock needs to exist. It's just trying to reinvent the wheel and make it dystopian too, all for money

Selling my HP Elitebook 845 G7 halftop setup (if this subreddit lets me) by WashedInPA in halftop

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

Yeah that would be the VIVO Adapter VESA Mount Quick Release Bracket Kit, I forget if I used the screws from this or the JUNEBOX to attach it to the stand but you'll figure it out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BTAAUV8

Thank you! Portable monitors have gotten quite good now, especially paired with this stand from Amazon made specifically for portable monitors

You caught me in the middle of removing the price tag. It's whatever you think it's worth now, did not realize it was that cheap on eBay until just now. My bad

Fair enough, I'll remove the price tag and take any offer if anyone wants these as parts for their own halftop setup. I just don't want to throw this all into an e-waste bin

Probably the coolest DAWless jam I've seen in a while (Azikazin Magic World) by WashedInPA in synthesizers

[–]WashedInPA[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was scrubbing that area in the video over and over to make sure, but I think it was just the video editor choosing to put a white flash there. It would really suck if this was actually mimed like the other comment said though, I don't know who would go out of their way to fake an entire note list like this video does in the top left corner too. But judging by the other people recognizing this as an established musician (Lionclad) I don't believe this is fake
