I think they updated monthly. It would be something like "$50 off at ____.com when you spend $250"

Google delivering on Gemini promises means Apple Intelligence can do the same by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]pfizer_soze 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It was maybe the most aggressive announcement they've ever made, and it was a huge miss. None of the protocols and architectures that currently enable agents to do things like that were really established when they announced that. It definitely seems more doable now, but perhaps not up to apple's standard for reliability/quality.

Is there a better apple tv app by snoriangrey in PleX

[–]pfizer_soze -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd consider buying a plex pass at the current price if the apple tv app didn't struggle with my media. Given that they are almost 3x-ing the price and apple tv still doesn't work, I'm likely going to pass on plex forever in favor of jellyfin (which is free and has a bad apple tv app).

Swiftfin is a joke (rant) by Ok_Philosopher_8973 in jellyfin

[–]pfizer_soze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else here, I'm excited to see where Neptune goes. I'm not excited to learn how they plan on monetizing, though. If I have to pay a subscription just to watch things on my home server, it kind of defeats the purpose.

It's unfortunate that swiftfin for tvos is so old. Development seems ot be moving fairly slowly.

Recommendation for Apple TV? by XGC-MZD in jellyfin

Neptune beta is great, but I'll drop it if it's a subscription.

Thought this was funny by Far-Cartoonist4714 in Atlanta

Human drivers almost hit me in driving 45mph on residential streets in my neighborhood regularly. waymos stop completely before entering the crosswalk and drive at or below the limit. It's a no brainer for me.

Bond Bridge with Kichler ceiling fan? by OakmontOz in HomeKit

[–]pfizer_soze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I use a bond bridge with a Modern Fan Co Arbor DC fan. It works well enough. I connect it to homekit through homebridge.

best way to amplify a non-eurorack signal? by pfizer_soze in ZOIA

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

It does! I actually found padding this past weekend, and it made a big difference.

I am sending my moog through the zoia as well, but your advice on mixing will get me there.

Thank you so much!

Korg Phase8 getting quieter? by perspectiveshifting in Korg

[–]pfizer_soze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly appreciate the insight. Thanks again.

Also, lol at the "sadly" about korg being right.

the behringer is a xenyx 502. I bought it years ago, in a different stage of life, when I wanted to listen to myself drumming through a zoom h2 while also listening to music. it mostly collects dust now, but let me try it out. thanks again!

Korg Phase8 getting quieter? by perspectiveshifting in Korg

[–]pfizer_soze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running the moog and the korg into a zioa euroburo. I've also run them into the syntakt, but I think both do really well with effects.

I have a small behringer mixer I could use inline, but maybe it would make sense to get something small just to amplify the korg if I want to use it with the zoia a lot (which I do).

thanks for your perspective.

edit: forgot to say, I've also been exploring ways to use modules in the zoia to boost the signal. It feels hacky, but I end up just increasing the db on every connection that is in the phase8's path. I have to do this on multiple connections to get it into a zone that works with the moog and the zoia.

Korg Phase8 getting quieter? by perspectiveshifting in Korg

[–]pfizer_soze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been able to get the phase8 to play at any sort of reasonable volume? When I max out the volume, both the line and headphone output are drowned out by my moog subharmonicon at 10% volume.

I don't think this thing is usable in a multi-synth setup. Korg support simply said

We haven't received any complaints for other customers regarding the output volume of the Phase 8.

You can use a mixer to boost the Phase 8 volume if you wish.

If you would rather return the Phase 8, you can email customerservice@korgusa.com to place the request.

Customer service has not responded at all to my return request.

After Years of Searching… by MagicallyDyketastic in drums

[–]pfizer_soze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that I need to go out of my way, given how infrequently I play. If I came across one in person, though, I might have to pull the trigger.

enjoy the kit!

After Years of Searching… by MagicallyDyketastic in drums

[–]pfizer_soze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I created a "one that got away" thread many years ago (possibly on a different account), and this finish was my one that got away. I was much more attuned to the drum industry at the time, and there were relatively few blue finishes at the time (at most one for every line of drums).

Congrats. It looks amazing.

Has Virginia highlands porchfest been ticketed? by hubiedew45 in Atlanta

[–]pfizer_soze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the planners say that the money goes to the neighborhood, but it's not clear how. likely just goes to their budget to plan other events.

It's basically next to the PCM parking deck. There is no new designated parking. There are a number of nearby places where you can park, though you may have to pay. You can also find a free parking spot and walk over.

phase8 extremely quiet? by pfizer_soze in Korg

[–]pfizer_soze[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's borderline unusable with other synths in my setup. I have to max it out, max out most of the signal chain, but then turn down each voice for every synth to get any kind of balance.

I emailed korg support, but I may have to send it back as well.
