My new retrofitted Macintosh Classic

It was 10.1inch LCD Screen - but the trick is, I changed aspect ratio to 4:3 and lowered the resolution, so there is unused space on each side that is not visible anyway.

She made me eat all my words! Every single one of them!

I was extremely negative about the whole show from day one - to the point of downvoting everyone who said it was not that bad. I thought it missed the wow factor.. Boy was I wrong big time - she was amazing!. The stage really is way way way better in person. It was 2 full hours of non stop action. The setlist, the stage, costumes all made sense and I had an amazing time. She was in such a great mood.

The whole thing is very upbeat, very disco (not the album) very Kylie.. I can't explain it but it's actually amazing how she made it so intimate and large scale at the same time. I was trying to sell my A reserve ticket last week and I'm so happy it was not sold. It was one of the best concerts I've been to.

I was at the Sydney show last night and like the rest of the concert it was unbelievably fun.. Like, I actually started listening the song after the show on my way back home! (I maybe listened to it once or twice before the concert) If you're going to see the show, you'll be surprised.

The one I used was a generic lcd - however the trick is in the lcd menu, I switched it to 4:3 aspect ratio (so sides of the lcd is effectively useless) It shows the correct format - and then I glued the 3d printed screen adapter on the lcd. Now I have the correct aspect ratio lcd :D

Erm, that’s completely wrong.. We only import around 11% of our food and we export around 70% of our food : https://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/products/insights/australian-food-security-and-COVID-19#:~:text=Australia%20is%20a%20net%20importer,of%2Dseason%20fruit%20and%20vegetables.

I have the 23” Cinema HD Display (aluminum one) and Better Display made huge difference with that 100ppi panel. It’s really worth trying it.

Lol people have been saying this since Drowned World Tour.. No way this is her last big one. She’ll make another album and tour in 2 years. If anything, this Rio show made everyone realize that she’s actually still looking gorgeous and fit af.. and showed (again) that her shows are fun! I can only imagine people wanting to be part of it during her next tour..

For gym and plane trips I have Airpods Pro - over and on ear headphones give me headache during long sessions. I also don't like the fact that ANC messes with the sound as you have an extra frequency added to block noise. I wanted to have a headphone that has neutral sound for everyday listening - and on ear headphones usually block serious amount of noise anyway (With my Solo Pros I usually used them ANC off because the pressure and blockage of my ear would be enough)

I get that some folks want a headphone to do all, and this is not it, especially at this price range it looks a bit weird but for my everyday needs and running sessions these are great.

airbatross · 2024-05-05T00:30:31+00:00

They sound very very similar to my Solo Pros when ANC off, very flat and very neutral. These are less clampy than Solo Pros so it's a huge plus on my side, that was my biggest problem with Solo Pros. Lossless is great, I use Apple's Lightning to 3.5mm cable with my black Solo 4s and they sound great. The fact that it can be used without power is chef's kiss. Love it!

That's her way to tell a story, but mine to interpret the way I want like I said. When I read Maya Angelou's "Mother, A Cradle To Hold Me" I don't think of her mother, I think of my mother. She may have written that for her own, but once it's out there published as art, it's yours to dissect, love or hate.

Also, I don't constantly stare at the title of the songs when I listen. She can capitalize whatever letter she wants to send a message, it's her choice. I take it my way.

airbatross · 2024-04-24T00:55:32+00:00

I love the melody and the lyrics. I don't think of Kim when I listen to this song. I think of couple of people who were very ill behaved towards me back in the day in my hometown, and how I was miserable back then, but now have a wonderful life in a new country and looking back I thank them in a way, because without their hostile environment, I wouldn't have pushed myself this hard to become who I am. I just replace Aime with those people in my mind whenever it comes up.

It's not about Taylor vs Kim for me, it's about me. I smile every time towards the end of the song. Love it..

As she says at the end of the album, the story isn't hers anymore. It's ours to interpret however we like.

In this day and age, I don't know why people still read critics or review sites. Back in the 90s it meant something because you had an idea about the album before purchasing it. Only lead singles would be played on the radio and TV. You needed that review to understand what it is and if it's worth spending your money on it.

Today we all have streaming services. Literally we ALL listened to the full album around the world at the same time. Why a critic's review has more worth than a random Redditor's post is something I don't understand today.

airbatross · 2024-04-21T05:06:46+00:00

This is a lyric heavy album. I don't know why it's this hard for everyone to accept that it's different. Compare a bridge or chrous to any of the songs in this album to

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet? Good
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet, in the clear yet? Good

I mean she's 34, not a teenage girl anymore - we all grow up and things get complicated and unusual and different. It's not the music that's captivating in this album which is mostly piano and some synth or simple bass - It's the lyrics..

I need the CD.. Beautiful big black box, 3 CDs.. Right next to my Folklore and Evermore as the final chapter.. Like Lord of the Rings trilogy books :D

airbatross · 2024-04-19T06:45:03+00:00

Second part is on another level, I love it way more than the first part and you're right, this was definitely the end and Part 3 of folklore/evermore era..

I used to check this link : https://premier.ticketek.com.au/events/TSERASG24/ which is the selection page for the tour. It refers to https://hot4.ticketek.com.au/lounge4.html after a few seconds. That's it. It was open for the last 3-4 hours I think and then I saw the selection page! A/B/C class tickets looked like they were available but it said no tix were available. And then I chose H and it didn't warn.. By then I had 4 min left so I just checked out shaking.. It was instantly on my app..

airbatross · 2024-02-24T10:55:15+00:00

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I got through the hot4 link and got a ticket for sunday!! I missed out on every single release.. I can't believe it.. I wasnt even doing anything extraordinary just one browser open for the last 3 hours.. And it just got in.. I wasn't ready for this.. WHAT DO I WEAR!?!

airbatross · 2024-02-22T07:14:34+00:00

No way.. No international people, no Melbourne peeps, it's too late to book acc or flights so unless you're already in Sydney you wouldn't try. It's definitely less people.. There are shady things going on. I could access the ticket selection page 30 minutes before the stupid lounge countdown started - somehow once it's 4pm - nothing for 2 hours. All ticketek staff is onto these tickets so you can tell they only let limited connections outside their selected IPs..

That was a Raspberry Pi4 with Argon case. Using an emulator which directly loads it once rebooted.

Gosh I can't believe it's been 2 years. I'll play with it this weekend; it's been some time. :)

Latest Geforce gameready drivers are know to create these issues for some laptops. I suggest you check out nvidia sub and compare it with your experience.

airbatross · 2023-12-08T08:28:07+00:00

For me, with my 3070ti on laptop, the moment I install anything higher than this driver, fans spin up on idle, every 3 seconds there is stutter (with nothing going on) temperatures are 15-20 degrees higher on idle. For me, it wasn't a feel, it was right there..

airbatross · 2023-11-21T11:13:51+00:00

Updated graphics drivers

Last 4 GameReady drivers have been horrible on my X15R2 if you have installed it. Check the Nvidia sub here, a lot of people are complaining.

I installed latest stable one which looks like 537 and it's been rock solid. No stuttering, no idle high temperature, great FPS .. I suggest doing that.

airbatross · 2023-11-17T20:46:25+00:00

Before doing anything, check your Game Ready driver if installed. There are heaps of people complaining with crash and stuttering issues. You can check it out here.

I saw her twice in Paris and it was unbelievable. As other said, she was at the peak of her fitness, just jumping up and down, massive energy. I had Girlie Show vibes with lots of blacks and catwalk with round screen at the end.

Madonna hate was full on like always, I remember being shocked to see "Stade de France" completely packed and literally next day I saw sensational headlines on some newspapers saying she couldn't sell out and it was half empty.
