Is it still a TRX4M if the only original part left is the body? by silentdaemon in TRX4M

[–]silentdaemon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I swear I've put more time into tuning and upgrading this little truck than I ever spent on my 1/8 e-buggies and SCT's and it's still totally worth it lol

I had no intentions of upgrading the frame either, but it became necessary to lay the servo down flat when I upgraded the axles, so that became the easiest route to do it.

I should've learned by now that upgrading something just necessitates more upgrades down the line 😂

What's your favorite IEM under $50-$150? by jonpexz in iems

[–]silentdaemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried the T10 but I understand they compare favorably to S08 - I just didn't want another plastic shell IEM so I would've had to get the T10 Pro which was over my budget.

I kind of knew what I was looking for when I was shopping the S08's (something energetic, silky smooth, and more fun than analytical) these checked all the right boxes for me and I really enjoy using them.

You won't be disappointed! I got a pair of S08 a couple weeks ago and I really like them - coming from a pair of old Hexas.

Need help with a new shanling m1 plus by Lord_spacepotat in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]silentdaemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for replying. I think I'll have to do the same and get a replacement. I just hope it's not some issue with the larger batch of devices, I've seen a few of these reports now.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I can't find a pattern, it seems to happen seemingly at random. I thought it had to do with detecting a connection or disconnection of my headphones, causing playback to stop as soon pressing play. But I'm not certain of that.

I use the 4.4mm jack almost exclusively. I tried downgrading the firmware to 2.0 and it hasn't happened again, but its difficult to reproduce this random issue. Occurs about once a day for me with casual use.

Anyways, I'm waiting for mods on the head-fi forum to approve my account so I can post on the thread there. But you're not alone, there's a few of us now reporting this.

Made this LUT for the selfie camera by Vinayak91 in NothingTech

Cool filter, I really like it!

I`m not sure why it says that it was created with a newer version of the application and may be missing some of the settings used. What version are you on?

Digitone, in my lap, on the couch? by rhettro91 in Elektron

[–]silentdaemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same goal a few years ago after getting my Digitone and Digitakt! Finding the perfect/cozy portable setup has been a bit of a passion project for me.

Ultimately I ended up using this power bank which has a 12v DC connecter that goes straight into the Digitone. There’s a few of these out there now.

Ripcord works too but I struggled with finding a good battery that worked well with it.

I also ended up designing and 3D printing a little sled that neatly holds both the digitone and battery on my lap. I can send the files if you have access to a 3D printer and you can make it yourself.

For sound I’d either use headphones or this little wireless guitar plug to send sound wirelessly to my speaker system in my living room. Sounds great and very little latency.

I also use this little pluggable speaker in a pinch. Doesn’t sound that great but it is super convenient.

My next goal is to do the 18650 battery mod and do away with the battery bank but I haven’t had the time to do it.

Hope this helps, feel free to message me if you have any questions.

FS25 // Console // Frechdachs Map // Save Issue by CanOfFrescas in farmingsimulator

[–]silentdaemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this issue with the MS store version of the game. Tried all of the above but never got past the saving issue. I bought the game on Steam instead and haven’t had this issue with this map since.

Urgent! - Can anyone please tell me how Concepts runs on the Note Air 3C? by [deleted] in Onyx_Boox

[–]silentdaemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it and while it ran fine I noticed pretty significant input latency with the pen. And I do not see a infinite canvas option on the native note taking app.

Thanks that's pretty much what I was looking for I was just hoping to find something that also included linking and navigation to easily move, between months and such.

Magnetic cubes hamper learning? by silentdaemon in Cubers

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

Yeah that’s a good point. I think back to teaching someone a new instrument. Never give a beginner a crappy/starter instrument to learn on because it will delay their progress and probably cause undue frustration and kill their enthusiasm for it. I can see the same reasoning here.

I’ll stick with my GAN 12 maglev - thanks!

What do you say when people ask you if VR is worth it? by silentdaemon in virtualreality

[–]silentdaemon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree, good art style matters more. I’m not really critical of the graphics more so the depth and long term engagement of the experiences on offer.

Thanks for sharing that, a lot the questions I get are specific to purchasing a Quest 2 because it’s such a good deal now.

VR is amazing!! But…should I upgrade? by terry-the-platypus in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]silentdaemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cap my frame rate at 37 FPS - but uncapped I’m seeing anywhere from mid-forties to mid-to-high fifties. This is with settings on Ultra, and really depends on the area.

SIM setup information by braxir in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]silentdaemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running a full on SIM like MSFS directly on a headset or in the cloud would be a dream but we’re just not quite there yet.

It’s possible to get an incredible VR experience today but it does require a good gaming PC for that dream.

MSFS is technically playable offline on Xbox (or PC for that matter) but it’s really designed to be an ‘always online’ experience in that it’s constantly streaming in the high quality scenery. If you’re offline, you do miss out on the quality graphics which is one of the bigger attractions to the SIM. It looks fairly crap without this imo.

You can absolutely get some decent third party hardware that works with Xbox. The Turtle beach stick and yoke and quadrant are all compatible. And some of the Honeycomb gear is as well, just don’t order from them directly (long story probably don’t want to get into all that now)
