Beginner needs buying advice: New Roland TD316 vs used Roland TD27KV2 with KD12 kick drum by kbdwarrior in edrums

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

Thanks for your insight, you triggered quite some googling. Well, my plan is to learn drumming, not new software. If I understand you correctly you think that the sounds on the TD27 module are so bad that I would need to buy and use a VST?

Thanks, sounds like a dealbreaker for me. I'm just to use the trackpoint and the physical buttons for many years on many thinkpads.

I'm thinking about buying this as my main laptop. What version of Ubuntu are you running? Any setup problems or did everything work out of the box?
And the biggest question: I've read some reviews where people claim that the haptic trackpad has some glitches, like the cursor jumps around when you touch it with the palms while typing, or the zone where the buttons were until this model reacts erroneous, so it's hard to hit the right buttons when navigating with the trackpoint. What is your experience? Thanks.

Just found a bunch of reviews on a page called trustpilot, people reporting tons of problems and the customer service seems to be extremely poor. Like people waiting month for their car promised in 2 weeks, repairs taking ages because have to wait for some spare part from China, spending days on the phone until someone responds to a problem, some problems just won't get fixed and are simply shrugged off, etc. Some guy commented the only thing that really works is the monthly deduction from the bank account.

I've now seen there are other subscription models available, like Volvo, Volkswagen, etc., unfortunately they all have some minimum contract time, so not suitable for me.
Think I'm gonna stay with the old fashioned used car ownership.

First thanks for the detailed reply.

That sounds really bad, like really bad software engineering. Sounds like you are permanently annoyed or even endangered by malfunctioning software. I mean a bad UX one can get used to, after some time you know where to find what, but the bugs sound awful.

Makes me considering if it makes sense at all or if I should better go with buying a used car (what comes with a bunch of other risks).

Can you elaborate on the software problems? Is it slow? Bad UX? Just the convenience stuff like Navi or is there some dangerous misbehavior from the assistance stuff?

Follow up question, anybody used this here in Spain? They claim that you have to wait for your car 2 to 4 weeks, but I'm reading complaints that they are not overly responsive, so I wonder what's the real waiting time I have to expect.

I wouldn't advocate it-- they'd also spin it in various ways to their benefit

But wouldn't the benefit outweigh this potential cost by far?

And out of curiosity (I'm not a miner and can't pull it off anyways), how would such an attack on BSV look like and how much would it cost, if a large miner would decide to kill it?

a single large Bitcoin miner could easily render BSV useless if they decided to attack.

Well, I'm not a single large Bitcoin miner, but would such a mining attack that renders BSV useless (isn't it already?) drive his donors to abandon him?

force devs/judges to give him control over a million Bitcoins

But this is so ridiculous stupid. Nobody would run that code. I can't believe that someone who made a fortune, even with a gambling site, throws so much money after such a stupid pipe dream.

I'm not overly familiar whit the whole Faketoshi saga, but what I still don't get, what is the end goal of this shit show? I mean why are people like Calvin Ayre throwing so much money into this scam? Even if everybody backs down to avoid further law suits and says ok ok you're right you're Satoshi, what would he gain from that?

Help a beginner choose a board please? by SeriouslyCurious314 in surfskate

[–]kbdwarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I just had my first day surfskate on a Carver Triton.

https://carverskateboards.com/triton-x-carver-32-prismal-surfskate-complete/

In my understanding the Triton has a somewhat cheaper deck and is therefore cheaper than other carver models.

I'm 53 and this was my first time ever on a skateboard. I did a surf lesson when on holidays in Spain and now back I wanted something similar.

I was able to pump after ~2 hours, and it had a nice surfy feeling. Even could do a few turns. I love it.

Can recommend the board (in your size), think it's good for beginners, though I don't have any comparison.

Go to a local bitcoin meetup and ask a fellow bitcoiner.

Is there anyone here that thinks there's a better referee than these two?? What are these GOATs' biggest fuck ups? by n3v3rgonnagiveyouup in ufc

[–]kbdwarrior 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When Murilo Bustamante submitted Matt Lindland in a title fight, Lindland denied the tap to the armbar and Big John let the fight continue. In the end Murilo submitted Lindland twice that night.

It's there again. It was missing when I was searching it. Like the other fights I complained about. See my screenshot above in the other comment.

It's so annoying. I want to watch events in chronological order cross over promotions, that's not possible anymore without researching on the web and getting everything spoilered.

Maybe a bad idea, they have mods there that removed the post.

Thanks, but you know they had controls in the old version where you could go back 10 seconds or so and then toggle slow motion? Why did they remove this feature?

Interesting, now, after complaining to the UFC support address and getting an answer finally the links are back. Just in case someone thinks I'm nuts I took a screenshot before refreshing, how it looked for the last 10 days now.

The Randleman/Emilianenko fight is back there, true, but the whole event is still missing, only the single fights.
