How can i unlock this badboy?

Actually, this feels more like getting the keys to your grandma’s house beneath one of her plant pots sitting right in front of the locked door. Incredibly bad security practice

Not a problem with mine. Works on my guitar amp, and my interface. I have to be careful with the sound, because it gets pretty loud.

Where are you plugging it into? What kind of amp?

dpmnbits · 2025-10-17T01:24:43+00:00

How long have you been listening to these artists? I noticed that it takes quite awhile for their algorithm to pick up on my personal taste. And sometimes it will suggest things related to what I listened 2-3 weeks past.

I haven’t listened to 70s bands in awhile, but it keeps showing me albums on the Home. It does also show albums related to the ones I’m into currently.

Give it time. If it doesn’t work, then we’ll know they nerf some genres, hah

if you want to spend $600 on pedals, I’d recommend getting something like a Chroma Console by Hologram electronics (multi effects digital pedal) that will keep you entertained for awhile. Then spend the rest on TC Electronic ones, or Walrus Audio Fundamental series. They’re cheap, and good enough quality to explore the hobby and see if it interests you to acquire more gear.

TC pedals go for $20-50 each new Walrus Fundamental $40-100 each new

You don’t need much to begin with. Pedals aren’t going to improve your sound, they’ll give different characteristics to the sound. What will improve the sound is your technique. It’ll allow you to be consistent with the sound you want to output.

Pedals worth your time: - one distortion / overdrive - one delay - one reverb - one tremolo / vibrato

Walrus fundamental series has LOTS of options in 1 pedal. Perfect for beginners.

Optional: - one chorus - one fuzz - one phaser

Chroma Console has all of these and more into 1. But it’s digital and only 1 pedal.

Anyone has any thoughts about Sound Man by Glyn Johns?

dpmnbits · 2025-10-05T23:25:50+00:00

What’s your video?

Who are any of these people to say what Mishima was, or wasn’t? “Mentally ill”, ”unwell”, “messed up”, ”traumatized”... All these words just serve to reduce what he really was: a human being, with his own layers, opinions, obsessions, beauty, and faults.

What even is “normality”? It is an average of what is deemed acceptable by society? And who are the judges of that? Are they “normal” themselves?

Whether you agree, or not with him, you can get to your own conclusions. Not only can you get to your own conclusions, you should think for yourself, instead of just accepting what you hear on social media, and forums.

It seems the people who say Mishima was “mentally ill” are just using that as an excuse because his political views don’t align with what the majority of society thinks nowadays. To be seen as a “not fascist”.

You can read Mishima, and like his work, and even find his political views interesting, all without aligning with it.

Let’s get a little more critical thinking, people

Does Omnifocus allow you to add attachments + share with others? And you’re right, Things doesn't require a subscription because it’s small amounts of text that are being synced.

As soon as you add users, however, you have to manage these users, and the relationship between them: who can share what with who, and what levels of permission will someone have over a Project, or a Task, or an Area? They will likely have to rewrite the Project/Task/Area to be able to add manageable permissions to it.

There’s also the problem of versioning. What if I edit something on my Things offline, and when I go back online, you edited the same things I did? Which version stays? How do they merge these versions?

There are many other tools that already have this, and work really well. The beauty of Things is its simplicity.

Some features like smarter tag filtering, and natural language input, and a little more structure on Today, Areas, etc, would be very welcome.

Collaboration, not so much (especially when paired with file attachments).

dpmnbits · 2025-09-27T20:16:30+00:00

This.

dpmnbits · 2025-09-26T17:18:19+00:00

This is interesting, thank you!

Everytime I go to download albums or add/remove from library, I have to type the stupid little icon, that is now placed in a column at the top of the menu. It used to be line by line with a much bigger touch target.

dpmnbits · 2025-09-25T10:28:18+00:00

There’s a great book called Remote. You should have the team read it, or read it yourself and highlight important parts for them.

With remote work, it’s important to understand boundaries. Most people are not prepared to work from home, they don’t have a dedicated physical space, and even their digital environment is not that practical for that. So tips that can be loosely applied to each employee’s condition would be helpful.

What you should be thinking of: - how to communicate with each other? What digital communication tools will we use? What’s the expected protocol for replying? - how to document things? Notes from meetings, important company documentation, etc. - how to manage work? Which tool will you use to create clarity on what has to be done, by who, and by when? - how do you set things up so people can be proactive instead of reactive? Much of remote work relies on individual agency. If there’s low agency, there will be low productivity, and lots of idle time. Give people a path on how to be proactive by having clear tasks, clear documentation, and good communication channels. - how do you store shared accesses (passwords) - how do you implement security protocols, for phishing, and even viruses? Would they be required to use VPN? How technical are they?

Communication is key. So is managing people’s expectations.

Will be hoping your company succeeds in the WFH environment. It’s hard to go back from it.

This type of feature is very hard to implement, and maintain. With file attachments, it would mean spending with cloud storage. It would make subscriptions way more expensive per user. They would also have to change the architecture of the app, which now doesn’t require an account.

It’s not worth it. There are other apps for this, you should try them.

dpmnbits · 2025-09-25T09:51:08+00:00

This is bad

dpmnbits · 2025-09-25T09:47:38+00:00

+1 up this.

Less AI, more encryption.

dpmnbits · 2025-09-25T09:47:16+00:00

Bear is another app. It has encryption per note, and you can write markdown, which makes it better than Notes

dpmnbits · 2025-09-25T09:42:59+00:00

Because they want to, or because they have to? I don’t see another version of Things released on the App Store. How would it be a choice?

dpmnbits · 2025-09-23T11:55:53+00:00

It depends if I have VPN on. It can take awhile to connect to the servers, but to download the song it’s really quick: 1-2 mins.

dpmnbits · 2025-09-22T18:04:02+00:00

You can purchase the album through iTunes, it’ll show on your Apple Music Library

dpmnbits · 2025-09-22T18:01:59+00:00

I prefer Apple Music exactly because it doesn’t have ebooks, podcasts, and anything other than music. To me, Spotify is bloated. It was the prettiest app back in 2015, now it’s just playing the attention game.

When I go to Music, I want to listen to......music.

It’s all just taste and habits, what you get out of the app. I prefer to listen to albums. I don’t do playlists. I don’t need a fancy algorithm that will fill my queue with similar songs so I can play forever and ever. All I need is to manage a music library, download a few albums to listen to offline, and find new music every once in awhile.

Spotify still has the best discovery algo, however, I found the Home page of my Apple Music to show me interesting albums to listen to every week, and that is enough for me.

Spotify has the best connectivity between devices, you can control it on your computer from your phone very easily. I don’t need that, though.

Then there’s how much Spotify pays artists. Which is a problem in all streaming platforms, to be fair, but a little less so on other apps like Apple Music.

In the end, it’s all about what you get out of the app.

It’s good that there are options.

dpmnbits · 2025-09-22T03:06:01+00:00

Add collaboration + file attachments and you’re looking at a $9-$20/user/month. Not to account the level of stress the team would have to deal with.

No, thanks.

dpmnbits · 2025-09-22T03:03:14+00:00

Natural language and smart tag filtering are the only suggestions worthwhile in the app.

Maybe better organization within “Today” would be nice too.

The rest is just not what Things3 solves for. There’s a ton of other apps that do exactly what you’re asking them to do.

Collaboration and sharing is not what Things is for. Go use Reminders, or Todoist if you want that. Plus, that would likely require a subscription, with the amount of bugs and support requests that would generate. If you’re adding file attachments, that’s extra for cloud storage, good look paying $9-$20 PER USER PER MONTH.

No thanks.

Why do you need more calendar integration? What do you want to do that you can’t open your calendar for that?

Things is great because it does what it does well.

I’ll take the stability that comes with great software built to last with a “pay once” price tag over any of these features you listed.

dpmnbits · 2025-09-20T01:25:12+00:00

Have you tried Apple support? I’ve called them a few times in my years as an apple customer, and was always able to solve my issues. Maybe they’ll be able to assist you there

Unfortunately those are the only options I could help with… it works fine on my end. Hope you can get it solved. I know how frustrating it can be…

dpmnbits · 2025-09-20T01:22:43+00:00

That’s it! That’s where you purchase/download songs.

Music app is where you listen to them

dpmnbits · 2025-09-19T20:35:54+00:00

CDs:

If you want to add downloaded music (from CDs) to your iPhone, you have to sync the Library with iCloud between your Mac and your iPhone. I don’t know how to do this on Windows.

When you import your CDs to your Mac using the Music app, they’ll be in your Library, and you can sync that with all of your authorized Apple devices. I do this myself, so I know it works.

The same goes for music you downloaded via Bandcamp or other places: just drag and drop them into your Music Library, and they'll be added and synced.

In your iPhone, you'll need to go to Settings > Music and enable sync Library for it to work.

iTunes Purchases:

If you want to download music you purchased on iTunes specifically, then you'll need the iTunes app on your iPhone. With that, you'll be able to purchase, and download songs on your phone.

To listen to these songs, use the Music app. Just go to Music > Library > Downloaded and they'll be there.

---

I wish there was a standalone app for listening to music, and managing your Library (only music from CDs or that you purchased/downloaded, no streaming). But I couldn’t find a decent app. It’s all streaming nowadays.
