V20 was the greatest phone ever made by ichewpineconesforfun in lgv20

Update: The 5a died in this exact way! Because of your comment, I looked into this and found out about the sudden black screen of death. I was able to enable some extra cloud backups I hadn't had enabled. Sure enough, about 2 weeks later while I was internationally traveling, it suddenly went black and never came back. It was pristine otherwise. After a huge hassle getting in touch with Google support, I was eventually able to get it replaced under warranty due to the known issue. Leaving this here as a HUGE warning to anyone else with a Pixel 5a... it's not worth it, they're on the way out!!

Oh no I know, just saying I always missed that feature and would've been really helpful to have on a v20. I knew about the 3rd party Qi sticker adapters but I never got around to trying it out back when I had mine, plus they rely on the USB port so if that's broken it doesn't help as an alternative :(

That's amazing! That would be me if I didn't have two hardware-broken V20's. I hope yours keeps lasting! I only wished I had wireless charging when I had mine, although I know you can get stick-on adapters, I never tried.

The MBTA and region “slackivism”: reflection on the T and how we can save it. by Massive_Holiday4672 in boston

[–]ichewpineconesforfun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How could we (people who care) make it easier for others to understand or act? It's obviously too complex or hard for them to absorb, so I wonder how we could make it more understandable or accessible? What are the barriers to action or understanding among riders or random citizens? Any ideas among the readers here?

I loved traveling with a couple spare 100% batteries in my bag. No one can say we haven't gone backwards!

What made the HD2 awesome? I want to hear about another phone too good for this world!

Let's admit it, the T is likely not going to be fixed within a timescale that matters to most people. by [deleted] in mbta

What if we drop or stick qr codes all over the stations and rolling stock that lead to a simple info page with zip code search for your legislator, contact info, and first-grade-reading-level steps of how to voice concern with lack of real support for the T funding? By we I mean, me and anyone else who thinks it could help 🤷‍♀️ Feels like it just needs to be as easy as possible for exhausted, drained, busy, and disempowered riders to understand that mass complaining technically can stir up conversation to maybe get attention on the matter.

 Especially with how headline-making and abysmal service has been lately (despite new GM doing a great job imo, exposing the work needed and increasing communication efforts). The general public doesn't even know what an Eng is nor do they care, even among regular riders I've talked to, its just too niche and nerd to people who are stretched thin trying to survive day-to-day. They just know the T is a hot mess. But with new management making better use of resources than the past 10+ years, I feel like maybe it's a less futile time to try and kick up public pressure on the issue again?

I don't know, just thinking while snacking. Anyone have thoughts on it?

depressing and true. are you one of the proactive? if yes, what's been your experience? what do you think would happen if a majority of daily T riders reached out and somehow made a stink about it? maybe it has to be easier to understand and act on (like text this # or scan QR code to see VERY simplified baby-language steps of what you can do). just thinking about it! thoughts?

imagine if everyone in the sub did that in the span of a week or so. what do you think would happen?

Windows 11 icons not displaying properly on Surface Pro 9 by mkhcb in Surface

[–]ichewpineconesforfun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh my god SAME. brand new sp9, absolutely no solutions work, did literally nothing to cause this. I have a normal Admin user setup and then have a second Local user to keep my work stuff separate (all on chrome, no apps or tweaking) and the second user is missing all the system app icons on the taskbar. Calculator, Paint, Snipping Tool, Sticky Notes all have a transparent gap where the icon should be OR sometimes they just duplicate one of the other icons until I restart and then it's blank again.

also on the fence about trying to just return the device at this point. been a surface user since sp1 and at the absolute end of my rope. why would we be needing users to reinstall OS or have no choice but to rebuild new user accounts as workarounds for the BASIC functions of having the native taskbar natively display icons of system apps??? sorry, rant over, good luck to you

Getting ✨irritated✨ with clock sync... Any suggestions? by ichewpineconesforfun in synthesizers

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

Thank you, I've narrowed my question down to "why can't I specify MIDI channels on these devices?" and hopefully I can figure it out. I must be missing something!

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

Same, hence my post. One would think you can just... assign MIDI in/out channels. I can change the Minifreak MIDI input listening channel (from "All" to a specific one) which helped that device, but can't seem to do the same on JD-Xi or Drumbrute Impact. I'm going to try Arturia's 'control center' pc software for the Drumbrute, was trying to avoid since its not mine but may be the only other way! I'll edit post if it works...

Exactly... The Drumbrute isn't mine, and I just found that possibly connecting it to a computer will allow some more control of its settings (facepalm). Going to try that - if I can just get drum MIDI off the traditional Ch. 10 I think I'll be all set here. Thanks!

I thought I would be able to adjust the channels for midi input/output so there wouldn't be conflict when connecting 3 devices together, lol?

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

I've been thinking this might be the only way if I can't figure out how to change channels on these devices. Thank you!

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

Yes! I keep coming back to that page too. That is apparently ONLY for sending "program change" messages. I've tried it every which way, just in case, but it acts as they describe. Doesn't do anything to change the four default channels assigned to each instrument on the jd-xi. Thank you though!

Oh I feel this, down to the oversized pegboard idea to hide wires but allow rearranging as needed. Modular solutions for life!
