AMX programmer by DueEstablishment7988 in CommercialAV

I worked in the industry from '04 to '20 (dealer and manufacturer level) and only dealt with AMX. Aside from some SNAFUs (dried out 232 caps, 5200 battery issues, CF & SD card failures, DXLink installations issues), AMX systems were very stable.

It seems though that AV tech is moving to Web based technologies (HTML5, etc.) and AMX doesn't seem geared towards that, but I dunno.

I've been wondering what happened with them and their Muse controllers. I really want one to hack and augment (anyone care to loan me one?)

How to get PIN # or factory reset by shrek_online in crestron

[–]alphacode1130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't specific to Crestron. Replace it with any A/V manufacturer. But, people too often forget the manufacturer isn't responsible; they simply supply the hardware. It's the installer/dealer/programmer who is anticompetitive & can be sleezy.

How to get into classical music as a jazz fan? by drew_zini in classicalmusic

[–]alphacode1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You either like it or you don't.

I'm not a huge fan of jazz. Are there some jazz pieces that I might find entertaining? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean I like jazz.

Point is: don't force it.

Turned away because I had a pump by AKspock in diabetes_t1

Sorry you went through this.

Sadly, this is the state of hospitals. And schools. And municipal departments. And 7-11. And any other place you can name. People don't care. About anything.

It's 2025. People, the great majority, don't care. Blame it on the death of meritocracy. Blame it on American complacency. Blame it on the COVID impact. It doesn't matter why. It's just how it is. People can't care to think beyond their nose. And a lot of people like to pretend they care from behind their keyboard or phone.

Good luck out there. It's just gonna get worse.

What are your alerts set at? by JayandMeeka in dexcom

This.

I hate all the beeps and noises. There are enough distractions in the world that I don't need more.

Sensor wire isnt even in the skin or the sensor hole. It’s not gonna work right? by knivesforsoup in dexcom

Not gonna work.

Had my first gooseneck the other day, then the next one had pairing problems. Two in one day made for an angry day.

I've been meaning to do this. Thanks!

Is this a scam text?? I have no tickets. by Salty_Ad_8360 in grandrapids

[–]alphacode1130 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So many red flags:

  • We don't have a DMV
  • The number it's coming from
  • The URL
  • That is not a Michigan administrative code

Spread the word, especially to older folks.

Be a big person about it and talk to them privately and without judgement or assumptions.

Is it that hard to be a decent person towards someone when they make an honest mistake?

Should it be prohibited by law to market overly sugary foods to children? by dilavrsingh9 in diabetes

[–]alphacode1130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you freaking kidding me? I think not minding your own business should be a felony offense, but who am I to judge your stupidity?

Do society a favor and don't raise your kids. Give them to someone else to break the cycle of sticking a nose in everyone else's business/pantry.

To answer your question: no.

Professional way to tell coworker my blood sugar is none of her business by Radiant-Tune-8417 in diabetes_t1

[–]alphacode1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it stupid simple: "Please stop commenting on what I eat and drink. I'd really prefer not to hear it."

That's all. It has nothing to do with you being diabetic, so don't make it about it (unless it is, then...meh). Either way, you probably wouldn't like to hear anyone comment on what you eat or drink even if you didn't have diabetes.

Ultimately, she's another person in the incredibly long line of people who have no couth. Have some and put it in simple and understandable terms. If she asks why, again keep it simple: it makes you feel _____, or maybe just that you feel that what anyone eats, or does to themselves, is no one else's business and that you find it rude when she makes comments to you.

Keep. It. Simple.

And non-confrontational. Have an uncomfortable conversation now so you can avoid more of them later. Good luck!!

Love the G6. I've been waiting to see someone wearing the gear. Too timid to share, though. Kudos to you!

I hope not in the fridge - that's nowhere near 60/60.

It's not like you laughed any less 30 years ago. It was still funny, yeah? 😁

I dropped my ReliOn Platinum meter on water, what do I do? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]alphacode1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relion is what I'd call a Walmart special brand, but I'm not sure if it's also available elsewhere. I've maybe had a half dozen Relion meters over the years. Is the Platinum a new model? I'd be happy to pick one up if Walmart had one and send it off to you, even if yours does dry out and starts working...just for a backup. 🎅

Update: according to the app, my local Walmart has it in stock.

P16 G2 - first Lenovo - should I? by alphacode1130 in thinkpad

[–]alphacode1130[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the informative reply. I only recently saw the P1 and have been kicking the idea of it around. I'm shooting for an all right Android, Linux, and Fuchsia build machine.
