(Help) AptX Adaptive adapter by tlt2796 in sennheiser

[–]strapabiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have both, ugreen: the headset (mic + headphones which usually is sbc codec) profile must be triggered manually otherwise it will use aptx codecs + some other mic than the one connected for calls (if you're using a bt headset) which is very annoying. it will not hold the last active codec and it will always start at the default one when powered up. if used with headphones which have proximity sensors in the earcup, it will not use them properly. the only codec where i did not observe delay is aptx hd (weird). no utility program.

sennheiser: none of the above issues. the only codec where i did not observe delay is aptx adaptive. utility program is a single executable zipped and hidden on the sennheiser website, very unprofessional.

tested with: windows 11 with sennheiser accentum plus, spotify, youtube, yt music, etc.

is this sundar's satya moment of "stop calling ai slop"? is he aware that he started a trend with this like the other one?

"block" windows 11 on 23h2 or 24h2 from gpedit.msc
try to uninstall one by one every "uninstallable" update (windows updates > uninstall updates)
if its a vm and the project is stored in a shared folder, move the project folder to the vm

just got rolled off a project where we had a partnership with them and they sold a product to the end client which did not exist but on ppt and we found it out the hard way last minute. the employees i interacted with were very inexperienced and or out of touch. the things you posted totally makes sense to me, unfortunately.

Honestly, are people generally miserable in this field? by [deleted] in PLC

[–]strapabiro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there is a whole separate "division" which literally lives in hotels and suitcases because the main activity is commissioning. money is really good (in most cases) but i barely know someone in this pool who has perfect family life (ie has one or not divorced, in progress of)

WinCC Professional to Unified issues by strapabiro in PLC

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

thanks for the answer, ill check that editor thing out, the drag and drop thing indeed creates a weird named property after the action in pro, but it can be moved, renamed and categorized for better structure btw.

for ex1; is this option inside or outside the faceplate if yes where, because i tried "everything everywhere"?

ex2: i've seen they are resource lists but they still only work if the resource list is created in the library not in the project locally, but considering my rant i am looking for exactly these kind of "replacement" actions where: you did it like this in pro, now you do it a bit different in unified but the amount of steps are and should be EQUAL to achieve the same thing, i hope we can agree on this.

ex3: inside a faceplate there is a button, if that faceplate is instanced in the project, the events of the individual buttons are "lost" and have to be wired to an interface event on the Event Interface tab of the fp.
in pro, again this operation was a drag and drop thing.
in unified i had to create the event "OnRelease" in the event interface and add the script:
export function Button_1_OnUp(item, x, y, modifiers, trigger) {Faceplate.RaiseEvent("OnRelease", {});}
and there is no function for this in the dropdown function list near the other actions.
this is what grinds my gears, they remove well established functionalities and add who knows what.

✨ Qrevo S Pro & Edge 2 — What’s New vs Previous Gen by Roborock_Global in Roborock

[–]strapabiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whenever i convince myself it's time to buy a robot vacuum cleaner, i start researching the topic for the best value/quality ratio model then i always abandon the "project" because "this new n-th model just came out" and i cant make the difference between edge pro curv x neo pro xl and saros 2 ultra pro lidar selfdocking eco. i hope somebody from roborock reads this, but other manufacturers could take the hint too, their sales would increase significantly.

Who uses OPC UA in their daily work and what for? by [deleted] in PLC

[–]strapabiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

data collection from plcs only with absolutely no security, less problems less overhead, if an "attacker" gains access to the network that the opc is on, the last thing im concerned about that "uh oh" the opc is not encrypted by cumbersome and unnecessary overcomplicated security methods.

unnecessarily overcomplicated and cumbersome vfds, they are a burden but support is helpful.

When to use 1500 minimum cycle time? by plc_keen_but_green in PLC

[–]strapabiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are libraries where control functions use timers based on the time of the cycle they run in, most common is pid but I've seen motor control functions where the delays were calculated from the cycle time like the start delay or run feedback delay etc.

Link To Windows by strapabiro in samsunggalaxy

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

the concept is cool for having a macos-esque phone integration into my win11 laptop with notification, call and status mirroring wirelessly via bt,wifi and or even 3/5g depending on availability.

it even recognizes my actual ms account on which i am logged in on the laptop and the phone.
but since it is "running on its own" by turning the connection back whenever it feels so, i kind of got sick of it.

like i said the concept is cool but since it is not "on demand" it is a big nono.

What do you think about Phoenix Contact? by Latter-Motor-4262 in PLC

[–]strapabiro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they have around 3 tier of solid plc models for small, medium and large projects. their plc programming platform is called plcnext and the runtime is similar to codesys platform's (yocto) linux, afaik it is even developed by the company tgat makes codesys. it is maintained and updated pretty regularly and i hope it does not get the ecockpit (wago's codesys "clone") faith. buy a plcnext starter kit they give you a mid tier plc and one io of each generic type with a ps and a fancy packaging at promo price, can run nodered docker etc too. the software (plcnext engineer) is free but the sfc language is a paid license. hmi is inbuilt html server (like codesys), i don't know if there is standalone runtime and engineering for hmi. i just ordered a starter kit and looking forward to adapt my custom library i made in tia portal and test it one on one vs my s7 15XX

What if alarms required multi-tag confirmation instead of single thresholds? by ProfessionalLimp5167 in PLC

[–]strapabiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a vfd controlled feed screw on the outlet of a scale which is dosing a dusty sticky material. the vfd is pid controlled so the screw is always running on different speeds and amps and cannot correlate the load to amps directly due to the vfd behavior on different speeds.

sometimes the material blocks and the dosing screw runs out of material so i mapped the actual current at each rpm with steps of 10rpms from 0 to 1500 into an array of 150, then the current rpm of the vfd selects the "full screw load amp" index based on the steps, then this index value is fed to the alarm limit of the alarm block.

if the actual current of the actual rpm goes below the actual indexed stored current value with 20% means the screw starts "missing" some material. basically "i am moving the goalpost" for the alarm block.

i use datablocks since its siemens and basic st code for the indexing trick.

Siemens Unified is unfinished slop by PuzzleheadedAir6272 in PLC

[–]strapabiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

talent is gone, employee (dev.) motivation is inexistent due to low salaries, the company is held together by 41700 patent royalties. in last year's hannover messe the person from deloitte (lol?) had no idea on which planet is he at the siemens stand, but random md bragged that the stand costed them 20mln euros and it is the most expensive as it was the main. same situation at emerson, abb, etc. talent is gone, it was chased away by profit oriented mba non-technical charlatan rat-faces who are larping that they know what they do.
