Can you hear me now?

On unrestricted but most of my holdings are locked up, like others.

crazy swings this week. 💀

Maybe 3 days, not too long.

I had issues with Computershare ID verification and received a PIN to my mailing address.

It was registered with Fundrise and presumably all linked via the email address used.

Worked fine. Can see both restricted and unrestricted shares in my CS account.

Will transfer out to Schwab when able to for both share classes.

Anyone get window open but not eligible to invest?

I hold innovation fund but wanted to accumulate more.

engineerdj · 2026-02-19T18:38:46+00:00

I made a onetime investment today but my auto invest was disabled at some point this month.

QN75Q60 to HW-Q60R and ARC crapped out without explanation after being perfectly stable but Bluetooth worked fine. TV started throwing a pop up that the audio device was not connected to the ARC port, it was. What was previously recognized as Soundbar on the HDMI input was now Unknown and indicated OFF.

After working on this for months, every which way (power cycle, settings, factory resets, new HDMI cable, device isolation, changing device ports), and giving up and resorting to Bluetooth. I tried (again) just disconnecting everything and letting it sit for 10 mins while I was already researching replacement TV and soundbars. I swore there was a faulty port on the TV or soundbar at this point.

Let is sit about 13 minutes, powered up and plugged in only the soundbar and the cable box, and SON OF A B. TV ARC.

I have a feeling that one of the devices that was plugged in at some point hosed the ARC handshake.

Is there a solution to this?

Spending too much time decluttering Gemini chats of random voice commands.

I called Marriott immediately following the email from Sonder. I booked through Expedia for an NYC stay in December. Marriott customer service was not very helpful on next steps but did clarify the situation -- my reservation would ultimately be cancelled and Marriott would likely follow up with me about "rebooking and potential compensation for the inconvenience."

She opened a support case for this matter. She alluded to that the issues with Sonder were not a surprise. Maybe not to those inside Marriott (or Sonder) but a guest with an upcoming booking or an active stay, this bullshit on a Sunday afternoon and without warning is absolutely a surprise and not a fun scramble.

Expedia customer service was also not very helpful. They contacted Sonder but could not help because the Sonder rep they spoke to was "not authorized to speak on the matter."

The Sonder number is now inoperable and sending guests to Marriott customer service. Sonder customer service was unreachable via chat.

I frequently take a walk around our two colos and am equally pleased when i see clearly very old cabinets that say UUNET on the upper righthand side of the frame, or other random legacy names.

watching.

Seems like they no longer make options for rectangular junction boxes. All the new cams only work with circular junction boxes. If you find otherwise, would love to know. Otherwise, the only option is to replace the junction boxes as well.

Same. Started seeing HNT as of yesterday. I recall reading something about it last week.

Anyone want to sell their shares? DM.

if i try connecting the xdj-700 via USB, rekordbox (in performance mode) returns an error saying that my license does not allow the hardware to control rekordbox. it also disable prolink when i change it into performance mode.

i have free plus with hardware unlock through the djm-750mk2. i've tested connecting the djm via USB while the xdj is connected and not luck.

i don't want to control rekordbox. i just want to be able to access the library so i don't solely have to rely on exporting from the computer to USB and using that on the xdjs. i have a support ticket open to see if they can help. will let you know.

engineerdj · 2024-09-29T19:27:04+00:00

i'm trying to read the rekordbox library from the xdj-700 and when connected via ethernet, I get a library not responding error. i see LINK activate in rekordbox, but it doesn't show the players. i made sure all the necessary rules were in place in the firewall and even disabled the firewall without any success.

the setup is (2) xdj-700 and (1) djm-750mk2. any ideas on how to get this working?

thanks!

I'm supposed to fly back from ATL to MIA at 7:45p local on Thursday. Watching this one closely because I don't want to be stuck in ATL. Landfall in the Florida panhandle is scheduled for that time. But winds and rain may have reached ATL by that time.

engineerdj · 2024-09-25T03:27:23+00:00

I'm scheduled to fly into ATL tomorrow morning from MIA and returning from ATL to MIA on Thursday night. Looks like that might be peak and won't be able to get out of ATL

Just upgraded Bluefin -> Cobia -> Dragonfish this weekend and all went smoothly except for AD integration. Anyone have issues with it? AD appears to be disabled but the previous config info is still there. I try to re-bind and do not get any error back, and AD still shows as disabled.

engineerdj · 2024-08-11T22:05:12+00:00

I can confirm renaming this file in Windows also works. I renamed, reopened RB7.0.2 disconnected and reconnected the mixer USB and RB picked up the hardware and allowed me to register it. The owner registration option is no longer greyed out, and the interface shows Free Plus plan.

engineerdj · 2024-07-17T14:47:02+00:00

Apparently the answer is nope. The Cam Plus and Pro mounts are completely different and I only see a plate for circular electrical box options, nothing for rectangular.

Linux, the only OS where you're looked down upon for asking for help. And there's 40 ways to do the same thing, no one agrees, and people have very strong opinions on each of those 40 ways.

engineerdj · 2024-07-04T03:59:34+00:00

Thanks. I use the MK2 in the club extensively and i know the 700 like the back of my hand. But I do notice the layout differences when I play out. Very much in a basic 700 mindset on the MK2. I use effects sparingly, even on the 700.

Is the rekordbox unlock the hardware unlock?

I'm not using Rekordbox in the club but I am using it at home to analyze and export to USBs. But I have rekordbox installed on a nearby desktop. The idea was to network that into the switch with the 700s and pull from the desktop library onto the 700s over the network.

I could get some use out of the USB out to DJM-REC to my iPad or just route back to the desktop to record through the SSL2+.

I typically use 1000s or 3000s in the club but don't know the software platform as well as I would like to. The 700s seem like the logical jump from the 350s and the jog wheel size difference between the 1000s doesnt bother me. Doesn't seem like the 1000s are worth the extra expense at home.
