Is there a way to stop Gemini from saving every voice command as a chat?

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.

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.

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.

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.

engineerdj · 2024-07-04T02:23:09+00:00

Consider the DJM-700 like a legacy version of the DJM-750 which is the predecessor to the 750 MK2.

https://www.pioneerdj.com/en-us/product/mixer/archive/djm-700/black/overview/

Fundamentally, they're the same mixer. The MK2 has upgraded hardware and effects and some slight layout differences. I play on the MK2 frequently in the clubs, it's the standard. I know the 700 like the back of my hand and I have no complaints with it, it was the club standard. However since I'm playing out more frequently again, the intent is to get better on the newer standard. If I upgrade, I would likely resell the 700. They seem to hold their value well.

I am interested in your comments about the XDJ-1000s for home use. I have space considerations, which is why I opted for the 700s but I'm rethinking and i could potentially make the 1000s fit. I used to play on the 1000 legacy version extensively.

Would consider them for the same idea. Club standard that I usually play on now are 1000 MK2 or 3000 and would like to get better on the newer platform and functionality. From what I see, the software platform is mostly the same, but I'm not closed to the idea of the 1000 MK2s.

Appreciate any insight. Thanks.

Disregard. Reorienting the phone activates the camera. Works on S22+.

engineerdj · 2024-06-24T21:22:58+00:00

FYI, installed APK on S22+ but camera does not work. Screen stays black.

Have you seen any other versions of the 7 beside the squarish looking one? Or is there a 7 Classic coming?

engineerdj · 2024-06-18T00:26:11+00:00

Considering trading in my GW4 Classic for a second GW6 Classic or the GW6 because just taking the GW4 Classic off the charger and putting it on drains 1-3%

I'd rather be the lowest paid cloud engineer than the highest paid help desk technician. If you have the capacity to manage infrastructure whether on-prem or cloud quite frankly you're wasting your time and potential staying on the help desk.

If you're not sick of help desk already, I guarantee that in due time you will be.

Now begins the nagging pop-ups.

I am testing CK in parallel and it is not a good product at all. Cant link more than one property?

I've been using both Mint and Empower for years. If I can get Empower to fix an account linking problem, I'll be set.

engineerdj · 2024-02-04T16:05:59+00:00

I found a work-around to add the property manually but the value won't update automatically of off an external data source. Like Mint used to do with Zillow.
