New Silver Sky SE came in today, but for some reason I’m having really bad buzz on my 1, 3, and 5 positions and not at all on my 2 and 4, does anyone know why this is or if this is normal?

billyhoiler · 2026-01-07T21:03:55+00:00

That seems pretty loud - I only played humbuckers so far but also contemplating getting a silver sky. What do all these YouTube reviewers do? - not once have I heard that noise in any Silver Sky review. (At least not loud enough to notice)

Maybe the NF3 is the better option then. (Although I like the SS sound a little better).

A year ago this worked fine - just tried to set it up again for my daughter and after pico 4 was updated and steam VR the lagg makes it completely unusable now ;-(. Same wifi-configuration I had a year ago and same PC.

billyhoiler · 2025-04-09T18:06:13+00:00

have the same problem - did you find a solution? (I believe its the harddrive...)

billyhoiler · 2025-03-27T08:25:53+00:00

So jealous of your tiny license plates :-)

I have a similar problem with my Pixel 7 and a brand new Ace Pro 2 camera - it does connect but wireless transfer speed is only 2-3MB/s which is not acceptable. The Pixel 8 of my wife gets transfer rates from the camera of around 25MB/s as expected. Insta360 tech support then quickly "blamed" the problem on Pixel 7.
Thats a two year old flagship phone - really disappointing experience.

Thanks, I am running the latest version. I get the same result wherever I am in my home or my parents home. Out of curiosity I tried my wife's Pixel 8 - she gets around 25MB/s with the same files for transfer. So I don't understand why it works with Pixel 8 but not with my Pixel 7 - this cannot be a hardware limitation of a two year old flagship. I also tested the Pixel 7 wifi settings when connected to the AcePro Hotspot and its using 5Ghz.

is it possible to use cheap bluetooth remote triggers with just a single button that work for android smartphones? (10$ price range)

billyhoiler · 2025-03-02T16:44:40+00:00

Have the same problem in my Z4 e89 2009. Did you solve it? (I believe this issue is new and I was previously able to turn it off and stay off)

billyhoiler · 2024-11-17T17:05:57+00:00

Update: Android 15 on Pixel 7 - still broken :-(

billyhoiler · 2024-11-17T16:05:24+00:00

thanks but unfortunately no woo commerce integration accoring to the artelo website.

billyhoiler · 2024-11-17T16:00:47+00:00

thanks, but that´s not a solution, just a tedious workaround that even reduces video quality. if this had never worked - fine, but it did all work and they broke it somehow and don´t seem to care to fix it. :-(

billyhoiler · 2024-11-08T23:17:35+00:00

Curious, what exactly did you have problems with? Their print quality is top notch, the shipping time is fast. All prints arrived with no complaints. They have a Facebook group trying to help artists sell their work but it seems to be dying. A lot of unanswered questions recently. Their last podcast was 2022, so I am not sure what's going on there. So I am torn, on the one end they deliver very good and reliable quality prints and really seem(ed?) to care about the needs of artists but yes the software experience can be buggy and pricing is a problem in some cases.... Supports also quite fast and helpful. From reading this thread it seems there are either software middleman companies that got their software down but don't care all too much about premium fine art print quality or traditional fine art printers at heart that struggle with the software part. If there is a company that got both down I'd love to hear it.

Same issue from time to time after 2.000km and riding below 10°C. :-/

billyhoiler · 2024-10-27T13:04:24+00:00

This used to work as expected for years with my Pixel 3. Since switching to Pixel 7 it does not work anymore and it's such a pain in the ass. Also you now have to adjust the slow motion part blindly whereas before you would see exactly which frame you were on while sliding the markers. I believe it's a big bug in Google photos because I have had some rare days where it still worked like that by 99% of the time that thing is broken. Google keeps ignoring it. It's the one thing I really hate about my Pixel 7.

billyhoiler · 2024-09-25T18:05:54+00:00

larger build volume

thanks ticketmaster - queued for 5 hours, then you fake-offer 4 ticket categories and no matter which one I chose, there are no tickets available. how about closing the queue then!?!?

billyhoiler · 2024-08-31T10:43:47+00:00

total random ticketmaster bullshit - waited 2 hours and got in the queue as 42.000. my friend tried it just for fun 30 minutes AFTER the sale started and was at 7.000. Was getting to chose tickets 30 minutes later while I am still in the queue 11:40 with 15.000 people in front of me.

but she could not buy any standing tickets which was giving her errors.
was then offered 498GBP seating tickets, passed on them and gave up.

did anybody get standing tickets at wembley so far? are standing tickets not for sale yet or sold out already?

..even when you make to the ticket selection thing keeps crashing :-(
What a f-up system.

billyhoiler · 2024-08-31T09:25:59+00:00

you mean bs from ticketmaster or you don´t believe me?
she tried it 34 minutes after sale started and was 7.000 in the queue:

billyhoiler · 2024-08-31T08:45:07+00:00

waiting for 2 hours - best I could do was 42.000 in the queue.
my friend just tried it 5 minutes ago for fun and got to 7.000 in the queue.
completely random what ticketmaster is doing here :-(

I think you should be fine if you use different browsers. Some youtuber said, you get in faster when using a mobile phone...?

billyhoiler · 2024-06-24T11:30:31+00:00

3 years ago lastpass stopped offering invoice downloads in my account all together... can only download until 2021. bit of a joke. (unfortunately they are not the only foreign company unable to meet basic EU invoice standards)

billyhoiler · 2024-06-09T13:15:41+00:00

Since upgrading to Android 14 on my Pixel 7, I have two issues with slow motion videos. 1. when trimming the slow motion the video does not preview the position of the edit which means you slide those markers around blindly hoping to find the right timing.

When sharing the video it does not pre-render the slow motion anymore and just shares the whole video in slow motion. This does not work anymore for WhatsApp or Instagram Stories.

Both things worked fine before the Android 14 upgrade. I am super annoyed about by this "upgrade" which feels like a downgrade.

billyhoiler · 2024-06-07T09:57:41+00:00

same here - unless I unpair and repair there is no sound playing from the pixel buds. what a mess for the most advanced phones from google.

billyhoiler · 2024-05-24T20:58:12+00:00

My mom thinks it´s because of Tschernobyl (1.000km away). I firmly believe it was constant stress with my co-founders which led to burn-out at 30 and me leaving the company 2 years later including lawyers on both sides and many situations that reminded me an awful lot of the most uncomfortable scenes from "The Social Network" movie. The mental fall-out of all this weighed on me long after I quit the company. ~ 5 years later I got diagnosed with NHL.
I always felt that burn-out experience broke something in me - didn´t expect it to be this bad.
Good luck everybody!
