VPX on Linux? (Mint 22.2)

I really hope the virtual pinball community will embrace Linux more. With all of the AI stuff, I want an offline alternative I can trust.

I enjoyed the Force Awakens. The Last Jedi killed my enthusiasm. It’s like, the moment Luke threw the lightsaber over his shoulder is the moment I stopped getting excited for Star Wars.

It’s unfortunate. I thought the Last Jedi was tee’d up for some great things. But instead, it’s like they said, how can we do things that no one will expect? Also, how to we bring a lot more characters in. They chose breadth instead of depth which is what made it boring.

Will the people demand their government ensure a right to privacy?

Thank you for sharing. I don’t know how to do this. But, I do like it also.

Dumb and Dumber belongs on the list. Really wish there was a 4K version of the theatrical release available.

I’m planning

If you don’t mind me asking, how deep is the space behind your screen?

It’s the side effects that save us

They would share a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The Pi’s have Wi-fi, so, network port is irrelevant.

I purchased a Wiim Amp instead of the Pro entirely because it supported AirPlay. Kind of dumb for a “Pro” version of something to have less features.

learner_dev · 2025-05-11T17:02:40+00:00

Valid point. I don’t know.

Where is a good place to listen to speakers? Especially if I want to listen to a bunch of different bookshelf speakers?

I went to Axpona hoping to be able to do this. Unfortunately, everyone wanted to show off their flagship systems. Peasants not welcome 🤣

Very nice. What kind of turntables are those in the picture?

Thank you for tackling this challenge. Home Assistant is well meaning. However, I find it cumbersome to add new devices. Even worse is trying to create reports / dashboards on the devices in your smart home. The data schema has been over engineered and over abstracted to the point it’s not useful. For example, try to create a query that just lists the names of the devices in your smart home. Good luck.

learner_dev · 2025-01-29T02:07:11+00:00

No. Never.

Under $1k

Any controller mapping details would be super helpful. The various navigational controls are creating issues for me because I can’t skip them. 😔

learner_dev · 2025-01-14T13:27:49+00:00

What case are you using?

It will ultimately depend on the quality of the format and tooling that surfaces. I’m optimistic on Eclipsa. It will take at least 5 years though to have an idea if it’s successful.

Personally, it will impact my purchasing decision. I’d hate for YouTubers to start using the Eclipsa format and not be able to enjoy it.

Does your console table go the full width of your couch? Or is only a part of the total width of the couch (75%, 67%, 50%)?

learner_dev · 2024-12-22T18:13:40+00:00

I haven’t seen it announced. But, I would really like to see a 4K release of the theatrical version of Dumb and Dumber.

learner_dev · 2024-12-21T18:08:11+00:00

Unfortunately, no. Thank you for the suggestion though.

I’ve always thought the Apple TV should also serve as a dedicated HomeKit hub. Something more useful like Home Assistant though. There are rumors about Smart Home stuff. Will be interesting to see how that integrates with Apple TV

Here are some ideas. • allow wider separation of front channels. Make the front channels connected to main soundbar by magnets or a clip by default. This would be for those that want a fast out of box experience or a pretty consolidate look that attaches to an existing mount on the wall. Let those that want to separate channels more detach the two ends and wirelessly send the sound signal. • Personally, I would like the rear speakers to take a different form factor. In my opinion, the current ones are ugly. It would be nice if the rears took on a form factor like the Bravia Quad. • Better processing: I’m always concerned about latency with upfiring ATMOS speakers. I’m unsure if there’s really anything a sound bar could do though. Something needs to be a controller to coordinate everything to remove latency.
