    Apple Music gave me a 90 day trial as soon as this Spotify snafu started, and it imported all but maybe 50 of my 5000+ songs from Spotify without issue, including King Gizz. I have…

    Regarding Z-homing being last - usually endstop positions are on Z-, not Z+, so they do a bit of a hop (2-10mm upwards Z) before the X and Y homing so they don't crash the head. If…

    Yep! I use it to run SolidWorks on my M1 Macbook. (They sure don't make it easy, though - one of their many EULA approval steps fails silently if you have any non-alphanuneric char…

    It has been worked into a tune! Love this artist (Venjent), he takes a lot of random samples like that and turns them into EDM tunes. https://youtu.be/gpQS41WQSPY?si=7zK7wbtulqbgx-…

    On the bright side, the official apple adapters are $10 and have a legitimately alright DAC in them (including mic input). I picked up a couple to use with pcs and laptops since I …

    My theory... Being able to code well or fast doesn't one to one translate to a good end user experience. The strength of your org's ability to determine good features and iterate o…

    Off, for now... Until a future windows update post-install nag screen uses dark UX patterns to turn it on, probably as part of some other "yes, shut up, let me use my computer" but…

    I picked up a handful of "580gb" microSD cards off AliExpress recently, with the goal of using them in mp3 players around the house. I figured they'd be reject 64gb sdcards, and I …

    Being able to use VSTs outside of windows sounds fantastic! How's the latency? Would you mind sharing some details about your setup? I'd love to use my Steam Deck as a tiny VST hos…

    Check out Korg Gadget![0] It's got an Ableton-Live-style clip launcher that's easy to compose in, and a variety of "gadget" instruments that produce different kinds of sounds. If y…

    If you make your own buildroot image, you can get VERY quick boot times - here's a random vid I found [1] with 3.5 seconds on a pi zero w (which is considerably less powerful than …

    Thanks! I guess I'll stick to running it on my Macbook for the time being until the quantized model gets uploaded. What kind of performance are you seeing with the FP16 weights on …

    Is this using Draw Things, or another app? Did you have to quantize the model first?
