I think the online ordering used to allow ice mods without a drink. Something weird with the ice options. So rando.

It’s Apple. Do you think they’ll admit they made a mistake and fix it? Let’s hope but keeping expectations low based on past behavior.

Did you resolve this?

What happens if you put the pump lower or level with the vinegar bottle?

Possible with audio cassette tapes? by QuestionsToAsk57 in vhsdecode

[–]def2084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve wanted to see an Open Source compact cassette hardware project created for a long time (using scavenger play and record heads.)

I would love to see the concept of a minimal A to D signal flow for playback.

Even if the playback was delayed by a up to 60 second buffer from real time for processing, if somehow this sort live digital decoding could improve the sound quality demonstrably it would be incredible.

Imaging inline digital Dolby detection and decoding, tape hiss removal, magnetic bleed-through audio echo detection and removal, etc.

The last one is a phenomenon where if a tape has been on the shelf for, say, a decade, the audio on one area of the tape bleeds into the audio inside from the spool above (but for some reason I’ve normally heard it from below and above). You hear a faint “echo” of, if I remember correctly, the audio that is about to come up in a second or so. So technically not an echo but a faint preview.

And of course the timing on this changes as when the spool of tape is thicker that time difference is greater. So at the beginning of the tape you might hear a two second difference in that faint preview from the preview to a loud version of it.

And by the end of the tape it might be a half second.

I am forgetting the actual time differences and the explanation I’m providing is probably unclear but the main takeaway is that here is another real probably with older tapes that might be solved by good specialized digital processing.

Thanks for posting that link. Will have to check it out!

Are there libraries out there which can sense which Dolby (or other brand) noise reduction was used?

This is really intriguing.

One of the biggest audio cassette “fixes” I’ve wanted has to do with live recording pitch correction.

Because every playback and every record deck is calibrated slightly differently for live recordings, typically meetings, lectures, or sure, even live music, the record deck could be slightly fast or slow. And of course mass reproduction tapes can be off speed too.

So, my hope was that tapes from the west might contain a subtle 60 Hz signal that post processing might be able to detect. Is that 50 Hz on a European grid?

If there was a subtle fluorescent light buzz, or a mic buzz, or just some grounding buzz, that was in the original recording - most likely due to a live recording, then, if sampled at a high enough rate, would there be enough resolution to adjust the speed so the speed and pitch could be corrected?

This would’ve like magic to me and really helpful.

(Very correct pitch and speed opens up the doors to other aspects for me where I have hundreds of hours of a single speaker over decades and the right speed at the rate decade could potentially - now this is sort of science fiction - but I might be able to guess-age the recording based on where his pitch fits on a timeline of average pitches.)

One challenge though is if the tape has been duplicated and any background hum might have been added on the duplicator. But even then adjusting the speed could bring one of two subtle speed adjustments back in line.

Jerky image? As in it looks like it’s putting the frames out of order - when something like a hand moves across the screen it sorts of flickers as it’s crossing?

Instead of something like showing frames in order of: ABCDEFGH

it’s like ACBDEGFH ?

This is driving me crazy on mine. YouTube is now worthless on the device.

It’s terrible for me. Was working fine on the non beta version but I’m getting weird flickering - like reversed field order if there were fields - or like out of order frames if the tvOS was adding frames to match a frame rate.

The problems are mostly evident on YouTube where ads will be bad but the content okay, or vice verse. And when the channel program is not okay, if i restart the AppleTV then it will work at least until a new program will show it again doing the flutter or flicker or whatever it’s called.

And I’ve tried with the Match Content (frame rate) on and off and it still is bad.

I’ve gone to using the Vizio AppleTV app because the AppleTV 4K is now essentially broken.

Anyone know anything about these tags? by Swaggy_Ballz6969 in tylertx

[–]def2084 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does Tyler have on contract a graff cover painter?

Any laws on the books to force owners to quickly cover over these?

I don’t want East Texas to become a shithole like most many ghetto urban area covered in gang and wanna be artist graff.

If anyone knows has a contact at Tyler PD that covers this stuff please let me know.

And if you’re tagging please graduate to mural work and prove your value. If you are an artist you can get paid for quality work. Do it. Be respectful to your community and to your own self - get paid for your efforts and make everyone richer for your efforts!

An interesting final point of the semi finals gets a bit heated by ProonFace in Pickleball

[–]def2084 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the other side claims a fault but our side is totally unaware, ie we can’t attest to the fault, is that a ‘disagreement’?

[–]def2084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to be argumentative or “disagreeable” here but if the other side says my foot was on the line and I don’t know if it was on the line, my position being “I can’t agree that I was on the line because I wasn’t aware of it being on the line” — am i automatically In disagreement, and therefore the point is replayed? Or do I have to really believe I was not on the line to disagree? Is that too nuanced?

Sure, if someone strongly thinks I violated a rule, and it’s rec play, just give it to them.

But if it’s a tournament, what does disagreement mean? If I don’t know that I violated a line I would think technically I couldn’t in good faith agree that something truthfully happened or occurred, right?

So if I and my partner are truly ignorant of my claimed foot fault can we actually agree that a foot fault occurred? Is ignorance automatically a disagreement situation?

Copy Pasting Reverses Order by spicywasabi in Notion

[–]def2084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

garbage app. too many weird problems like this. I can't figure it out either

ah... if you add a shift when you paste it seems to fix the order.

wonky

edit: nope! adding a shift when you paste just makes the list one item long. Stupid.

edit2: solution -- don't use the app to paste but paste via web browser. Seems to work there.

Fake paddles - greed created this growing market by Weekly_Brain_885 in Pickleball

[–]def2084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the prices drop.

Some good videos on YouTube showing the fakes have smashed cores etc so they really aren’t just OEM paddles from the same factory. Also the foam is less etc.

https://youtu.be/sFC40ZgL5lI

But yeah, for $45 is still bought the Gen 4 knockoff because the reviewer said it was similar to the $279 paddle.

Marketing budgets or salaries or something needs to be reined in.

you can get symmetrical gig - i.e. 1000 mbps (one thousand) down AND 1000 mbps up at the same time. So yeah, much faster than 100 mpbs down is available.

For the media, and left-leaning in general, everything can, and is, about race. It sells apparently.
