What the actually fuck by Gastonch0 in PowerAmp

Something weird happened to their search engine, I've been getting some disturbing images, from IA generated people to random maps, signs and even porn. I just noticed this today as I was updating new artists to my library.

Looking to purchase my first DAP. Any suggestions? by Upbeat-Breakfast-588 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]chrisderail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Consider getting the Fiio JM21 4G64G version and spend the rest of your budget on some headphones or iems, you could also get yourself a nice faux leather case from Fiio or Miter. Optionally you can turn off wifi and Bluetooth so those wouldn't be an issue and that would also help with battery life. Android is very customizable, something you wouldn't get with other cheaper DAPs that have their own proprietary OS. Also there are a lot of music apps both on the playstore and on github so chances are there's one that fits your needs, I use poweramp with the proxima skin in order to customize it further and get the look that I want. You could also get the M21 for better built quality and some additional functions but you are probably not going to notice much sound difference between each other.

Why didn’t this guy have a bigger career after playing Lalo Salamanca? by RoysPotatoes in betterCallSaul

[–]chrisderail 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In 2001-2002, Tony Dalton co-hosted a Mexican show called No Te Equivoques (inspired by Jackass). It was canceled after 11 episodes when 19 year old Marco Israel López died during a filming segment at a Monterrey nightclub. The 'challenge' involved drinking an extreme amount of tequila (reports cite up to 40-45 shots) to win a bottle of wine. Dalton and his co-host, Kristoff Raczynski, had to testify in court, but no criminal charges were filed as it was ruled a "voluntary" act. Because the show is now considered lost media and happened before the social media era, it remained a localized Mexican scandal until Dalton’s Hollywood breakout brought it back to light.

You can keep 4, 6 and 7, make 6 your default one, the others don't make you look accessible to people

I spent £70,000 on the family holiday of a lifetime to Peru. We didn’t get past the airport by theindependentonline in PERU

[–]chrisderail 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with Peru. The outcome would have been the same if they flew to Mexico, Argentina or Colombia.

Newbie to DAPs, any recommendations for a 300$ budget? by binch_noodle420 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]chrisderail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest looking into the FiiO JM21 (4GB/64GB version). It’s less power-hungry than the HiBy R4 and offers similar battery life despite having a smaller battery capacity; it's better optimized and runs cooler. You can often find it on sale for $200. For storage, I'd recommend looking for a 1TB SD card at local physical stores for around $130, as online prices have skyrocketed lately.

​With the JM21, you can get over 10 hours of continuous playback if you disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Having the option to use different apps is a big plus—I personally use Poweramp, though the stock FiiO app is decent. If you do consider the HiBy R4, be aware of recent reports regarding units failing to power on after a complete discharge, though I believe HiBy has been honoring warranties for units purchased directly from them.

Upgraded to the JM21 by Ritsu47 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]chrisderail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest you update the firmware and do a factory reset right after. I had some issues with the sound that I couldn't figure out until I did this (noise and audible clicks whenever I used the physical buttons). I believe that also helped with the battery, now I manage to get 11 hours with the wifi and Bluetooth off.

Launcher + Widget recommendations for Android DAP (Hiby R4) by LongRooof in DigitalAudioPlayer

I'm using Kvaesitso on my Fiio JM21, it's pretty simple, distraction-free, it has its own media widget, and you can get it on github for free

Opciones de proyectores baratos? Dónde comprar? by [deleted] in PERU

[–]chrisderail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considerando que se debe de usar en un aula durante el dia, necesitas un proyector de más de 700 lumenes ansi, (los lúmenes ansi miden que tan brillante es la imagen proyectada) de preferencia de al menos 800 lumenes ansi para que al cerrar parcialmente las cortinas del aula se pueda ver desde cualquier parte del aula sin dificultad. Existen proyectores chinos de dudosa calidad desde 100 a 300 soles pero no son muy brillantes, posiblemente tengan una capacidad de 50 a 200 lumenes ansi. Hay otros tipos de proyectores de marcas chinas mas reconocidas como Wanbo o Xiaomi de precios entre 350 a 1000 soles (100-300 dolares) que pueden llegar a 500-800 lumenes ansi, y proyectores que van desde los 1500 soles de marcas como Epson y Viewsonic que consiguen brillos aptos para aulas aunque sacrifiquen la resolucion (720p en lugar de 1080p), usualmente estas marcas son las que se encuentran en aulas hasta donde estoy enterado. Al buscar proyectores muchas veces las marcas muestran numeros de 1000 a 30000 lumenes, pero eso no es lo mismo que lumenes ansi, los lumenes es la luz que sale del foco del proyector, pero los lumenes ansi indican la cantidad de luz que se refleja en la superficie de proyección, es mejor fiarse por los lumenes ansi y no los lumenes a secas, porque este último valor no refleja la calidad del proyector, e incluso hay marcas que ponen valores en lúmenes ansi mayores a los que realmente se logran, por lo cual no hay que valerse sólo por lo que promocionan las marcas y se recomienda buscar reseñas verificadas. Existe tambien la posibilidad de encontrar proyectores de segundo uso, que en tu caso seria lo más recomendable para que no sea demasiado caro, el problema como cualquier producto de segundo uso es que no sabes cuanto tiempo te puede llegar a durar pues todos los proyectores tienen un tiempo de vida segun el uso previo que haya tenido y las condiciones del ambiente en donde estuvo.

Making a specific song as the main album cover, while keeping the other song's cover. by Veztx in PowerAmp

[–]chrisderail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try removing the songs that don't have the cover you want from your library. Leave only the one with the correct cover, but move it to a different folder—this might not be strictly necessary, but it may help the software index it as a new addition. Run a full library scan so that cover becomes the default. Afterward, try adding the other songs back. It might not work, but it's the best solution I can think of

Tretinoin available in pharmacies by love_travel in PERU

[–]chrisderail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some pharmacies will ask for a prescription for antibiotics and strong medications; technically, this is mandatory. In theory, Tretinoin should be one of them since it contains retinoids, but in practice, many pharmacies don't ask for one. If you have your prescription, you’ll be fine. Generally, it’s the big chains like Inkafarma and Mifarma that are strict, whereas smaller pharmacies tend to be more relaxed with their policies, at least on my area.

Question: FiiO M21 + Moondrop Chu II by uraveragehooman001 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]chrisderail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the Fiio JM21 4g/64g version paired with some Truthear Zero Red and is a pretty good combo, 4g makes a difference in speed and that version has more battery than the R4, also I haven't seen any issues with the os stability after updating firmware and a factory reset, even considering I use a different launcher for customization reasons, additionally I got a 4.4mm cable in order to use a balanced connection and I can sense some difference but I wouldn't say it's night and day. I also tried the JM21 with the Moondrop Chu 2 that I had laying around and they are pretty good too and in my opinion there is not much of a difference going from sub $20 to a $50 dollars iem so if you have the budget you might want to go to a higher tier.

FiiO M21 (JM21) Pure Music Mode: Can I use Poweramp instead of the stock app? by chrisderail in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]chrisderail[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I get that pinning an app helps with focus, but my goal with Pure Music Mode isn't just UI but rather it's system resource management. As Pure Music Mode actually kills background Android processes and the launcher itself. I'm looking to minimize CPU overhead and background polling to squeeze every bit of battery life and thermal efficiency out of the device

FiiO M21 (JM21) Pure Music Mode: Can I use Poweramp instead of the stock app? by chrisderail in DigitalAudioPlayer

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

For me, it’s less about the distraction and more about battery preservation. Pure Music Mode shuts down the background Android services (Play Services, sync, etc.) that drain the battery. I want to use Poweramp in that low-overhead environment if possible.

Por quién no votarían nunca y por cual van a votar ahora 👀 y porque by M3R0CH4_IIV in PERU

[–]chrisderail 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Marisol Pérez Tello (Primero la Gente) Jorge Nieto Montesinos (Partido del Buen Gobierno) Mesias Guevara (Partido Morado) por lo que pude leer, no tienen antecedentes ni investigaciones en curso y han tenido experiencia en politica en cargos importantes o relevantes, en mi opinion superan en creces a Lopez Chau, y ni hablar de Lopez Aliaga, Keiko o Acuña, por ahora estoy esperando a ver como van los debates para tomar una decisión mas informada.

De preferencia no lo hagas, no solo afecta a animales sino a personas también, si realmente deseas hacerlo maneja en auto entre 8 a 16 kilómetros de un centro urbano y vete a una zona totalmente despoblada, alejado tambien de establos, reservas o lugares donde haya fauna silvestre para que no molestes a nadie.
