Picks Of The Week (by u/lefuniname)

Hello, dear reader! This thread marks four whole years (!) of us doing these threads week in and week out, and we, the whole new releases team, just want to say thank you for sticking with us for this long. I'll put some fun review statistics in the comments below, but for now, let's take a look at two excellent schnitzeltastic Austrian DnB releases from this week!

1. Wingz - Ghost LP [Overview Music]

Recommended if you like: Rizzle, En:vy, Invadhertz
For my tastes, the minimal/deep and dark scene in drum and bass is sometimes a little too crowded. Every single week, we've got upwards of 50 releases just in that corner, and while I try my best to highlight the really good ones, I've still got a bunch of other subgenres I deeply (heh) care about as well, leading to a lot of dark stuff slipping through the cracks. Not all of it good, mind you. Some of it though! For instance, one excellent artist that we haven't talked about here at all yet, that has been consistently delivering pure gold on the vibey, rolling, minimal sound front for years now, is very much overdue a proper spotlight on here. Of course, I'm talking about the Luigi of the dnb scene (a quote of his I sadly cannot find the link for anymore), Wingz! More like the Luigenius of DnB. Anyway.
While his journey to widespread acclaim in the scene arguably only started to properly kickstart in 2019, Viennamese music enthusiast and professional Twitterer Markus Kocar has earned his musical wingz way earlier than you might think. Back in 2008 (!), Markus had already begun delving deeper into all things DJing, and depending on how far back you go, you minimal enjoyers might be surprised what you hear him spin. You see, after seeing Pendulum at his very first DnB party, he became a massive Dancefloor enjoyer, from where he jumped over to Jump Up and eventually Neurofunk, which provided a smooth transition point to the more minimal vibes he is now known for. Over the years, Markus got more and more active around the scene, sharing his mixes around a lot, regularly hanging out on DnB forums and just generally interacting more with the scene in Vienna. One fateful day in 2013, he was chatting to this Austrian guy, who had been gaining some popularity recently, I think his name was Meth Juice or something, no one you would know nowadays, and he basically told him, if you don't start producing you won't stand out amongst the sea of DnB DJs. So... he did just that!
It didn't take long for him to put the knowledge he had gained from his time on the legendary Neurohop Forum, on which he made tons of connections with the likes of Grey Code, Vorso, Rueben and many more, to good use, turning what began with certified club bangers like "Untitled Roller WIP" into much more serious output, the first of which was debuted on the then-newly-founded IN:DEEP Music in 2014. As the Forum transitioned over to Facebook and turned into what you might now know as the Music Squad, Markus continued to improve his game, by not only showing Dancefloors all over the area what a good set sounds like, but even touring with man like Phace and spreading his production wingz far and wide across the likes of T3K, Context, Addictive Behaviour, Flexout (which earned him his first Noisia Radio play), Demand Records (which earned him support on Skankandbass), and eventually, Lifestyle. Why am I highlighting Lifestyle in this list? Because that's where he made the career-altering connection with none other than Peter Piper Maxted, who was part of Lifestyle at the time and would go on to found his very own label, Overview Music, soon after this.
Not only did Peter fly Markus over for his first UK gig in the one and only Volks club in Brighton in 2018, since then he also signed him on for (as of right now) 5 whole EPs and so many hot singles the ads on even the filthiest of websites will pale in comparisons. Wingz wasn't just a household name on the Overview roster though, during that time he also debuted on (warning, long list) Korsakov, Mainframe, Fraktal, Cyberfunk, Deep Within, V Recordings, Delta9, 4NC¥ //DarkMode, Sofa Sound, VISION, Blackout and DIVIDID, remixing Noisia, Agressor Bunx, Droptek, Grey Code and Data 3 and collaborating with Rueben (who remixed him in 2017 as Ordure!), Submarine, Waeys and En:vy along the way. Phew. Not to mention his Future Garage alias In Agony, with which he showed the world his take on the Burial sound, and his sets all over the world, hitting even South Africa in recent times! I feel like I used my spreading his wingz pun too early.
However, there was one thing he hadn't done all through this yet: an album. As you can maybe tell from the way I not so subtly phrased that there, that changed this week, with the long-awaited arrival of the Ghost long player on his home imprint, Overview. So let's check it out!
We ease into the landscape of the melodically pleasing, deeply minimal vibes Wingz has become known for with the opening track Ghost, showcasing a ton of introductory atmospheric beauty, before smoothly sailing down a stream of minimal rolling vibes, the melodies around it constantly evolving over the stretch of one very long drop. Lonely Place continues the general vibe of minimalistic ear candy nicely with a proper low blanket of (sub)bass keeping us safely tucked in, while a mean kick shakes us to our core and a lot of heavy reverberations fill out the scenery. However, from the distance, we can hear someone approaching: Rider Shafique! On Keep Control, we trade lovely vibes with large swaths of goosebump-causing sounds intertwined with Rider's signature menacing vocals, both exhaling pure destruction at every stop. These heavier tones linger on a little bit longer, as Street Echoes takes us down the path of upfront, powerful drum action, basslines going back and forth between delightfully threatening and growing into menacing mountains of madness, and a vocal that demands that you dance already.
After so much energy, we have earned ourselves a bit of a break, and luckily, Wingz delivers a proper auditory vacation with Parting. Audio crackles, a tightly looping dramatic melody in the background, a moody vocal, plopped onto a smoothly rolling, hi-hat-filled drum set, with the occasional vocal, synth bloop and even some tiny distortion peeking through - just lovely! Speaking of, Guardian Angel takes this loveliness and amplifies it to straight-up soul-soothing, thanks to West Midlandian Luke Truth bringing in one of his most soulful performances yet, while we continuously roll through all sorts of subtle subdued little treats for the ears floating around on here. Gambit very much breaks us out of our trance, with only the wubbiest of wubs, the snappiest of snaps and some gnarly distorted basses. Minimal club bangerism at its finest! On the followup Submission we go deeper and deeper into it, with a supremely deeply vibrating, Dancefloor-incinerating bassline, spiced up with a drum-laden cocktail of think breaks, rave sirens, what sounds like turn indicators and even more I can't quite identify, evolving in a really satisfying way.
We stay down in the aggressive mud a little bit longer, with Within Me. Not only do we get great finely-tuned and groovy aggression coming from the drum action, we've also got some thick bass whomps and the strangely catchy, titular vocal sample - a banger, in other words! On Tonight, the vibe pendulum swings back to the lovely side of things, this time brought to us via a composition of soulfully synthed-up chords, blooped-up synth bleeps, distorted stabs, and an intoxicating tincture of various nicely processed vocals. The vibe pendulum strikes again, and we are back with one last wub-infused minimal club banger, Someone, that in my eyes especially excels in the relentlessly tick-tick-ticking drums that hammer into us while we witness the back-and-forth between the bwoam and the wubs. I'm very good with words, you see. For our closer Forgive & Forget, Wingz swings (say that three times) back into soulful territory once more, ending this journey through melodic minimalism with the one and only Collette Warren putting on a hell of a performance, a heartwarming blanket of bass underneath it all, and just general drifting-away energy.
It's rare that I'm actually this engaged with minimal DnB on a full album runtime, but by reaching across the whole spectrum of deepness, making sure that every single tune sports a deeply satisfying progression and never straying too far from his mission of injecting musicality into even the most minimalistic of club bangers, minimalstermind Wingz has managed to capture my attention wholeheartedly.
Other deep, dark or vibey stuff from this week: - En:vy, Monty - INLOVE - Hiraeth, Alexvnder - The Truth (Leniz Remix) - Shortball, Las Iguanas - Sun Slows Down - FERVL - Vvild 💎 - YAANO, Skylark - Falling - Molecular - Heritage & Sound LP - KRÆK - XOU002 💎 - Kuttin Edge - Flicker & Flash

2. Manta - Home [Sinful Maze]

Recommended if you like: Irontype, Esym, The Clamps
After such a detailed deep dive, let's do a fun little quickie to finish things off. Luckily, we've got the perfect candidate: The one and only Manta, who you might remember from way back when we talked about his Diascope EP, has debuted on one of my favourite labels around, the wonderful Czechian imprint Sinful Maze, who you should remember from all the times I talk about it on here. Those are all separate links!
But first, a quick check-in: What has Daniel "Manta" Hollinetz from Salzburg been up to since we last talked about him here? Well, of course he has been busy playing shows all over the place, but he's also been putting out some rather (Man)tasty releases on the likes of High Tea, Blu Saphir, Korsakov and, as of 2023, even Neurofunk behemoth Eatbrain! While all of these are sick in their own right, I have to specifically shout-out his and his good mate Frank Lemon's VIP-ified version of my all-time favourite of theirs, Adventure, on Hanzom - what a tune.
Alright, so what does his Sinful Amazeing debut, Home, sound like then? Built around a sample of the Bards of Skyrim's The Age of Aggression, one of the coolest samples I've come across in recent times by the way, Home takes us through one of Manta's signature cinematic adventures full of all sorts of ear candy production elements. Right from the beginning, during the relatively short intro, we are treated to such a sick sounding guitar part that you can't help but become curious what is about to follow. As the bard hits the titular With our blood and our steel we will take back our home lyric, the age of aggression really does begin, with almost out-of-control-spiraling, soundsystem-decimating distortion explosions sparring with relentless, futuristic, colourful and straight-up mind-piercing machine gun fire. I can't even point to a specific favourite part or anything, literally everything in this just sounds so damn good. A proper adrenaline rush of a tune.
Simply Mantastic.
Other heavy stuff from this week: - DNMO, Wolfy Lights - Bombalaya (Blooom remix) (<333) - TANTRON - Enchanted - Various Artists - MODULES two - Karpa - Keep Away - Sinister Souls - Chronicles, Volume 1 - Various Artists - Headz Up vol. 2 - Foks - Miss You

2024.05.19 16:16 xrdriver Flight Sim PC Help

I haven't built a PC in more than 5 years so I am completely out of the loop. I need help with what components to buy please. My dad's current (5-10 year old) PC won't power on and he wants to get a new system instead of fixing the old one.
1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.
I need to build a new PC for my 75 year old father. He uses a PC for internet/email and MS Flight Simulator. All he really wants/needs is to be able to play FS at/near max resolution. He doesn't need a ton of HD capacity.
2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?
$1500-$2000 including monitor.
3. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
Immediately
4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: toweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)
Tower is required but I'd like to upgrade to a new monitor if it fits in the budget.
5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.
Keyboard and mouse.
6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?
I am open to overclocking but I'd prefer not to for this PC
7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSDs, mass HDDs, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth, VR, VirtualLink, tensor cores, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc.)
Wi-Fi is required.
8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-towefull-tower sizes, styles, colours, window or not, LED lighting, etc.), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
No preference
9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free at OnTheHub or through their school's IT software distribution department.
No
10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?
No
11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc.)
No
12. What are the specs of your old PC / laptop? Do you want to see if it can be upgraded instead? If so, paste its build from PCPartPicker here.
None
13. Extra info or particulars:

2024.05.15 20:51 devcolm Anyone able to tell me why my mobile app design looks so bad?

I'm a Frontend Developer, I made this mobile app as a side project to help my coding and design skills. It's been very humbling, as I've realised it's way harder to get something looking good than I thought. The screenshots are from the app itself, I didn't really use Figma, which was probably my first mistake.
I want to have a green colour scheme for my app, since it's about Ireland. The screenshots of the apps on the right are the kind of aesthetic I'm going for. One of them has a slightly blue-ish background, and then the elements are white and curved. That's what I was trying to copy with my green background. I think I've made it way TOO green though.
Some of the other screens look really amateur-ish too, but I'm not sure exactly why. Is it the spacing, the font sizes, or the colours, or a bit of everything. The two screens that show the results, mainly. I think the red and green text looks really bad, but then, it kind of makes sense that correct answers would be green, and wrong answers red.
I want to spend the next few weeks making it look way better. I've downloaded a few books about Design and been watching videos, but I'd love to hear any advice you people have too.

2024.05.15 18:30 RokalLOTRO Is Converting Amazon Kindle Books To EPUB Worth It to Switch?

Hello, folks.

I'm interested in the Kobo Libra Colour, but I'm HEAVILY invested in Amazon/Kindle books.

From what I've gathered I should be able to download various tools to strip the DRM and convert the books to something like EPUB format that the Libra can read.

For those who have made the switch... is this a big hassle/PITA?

I'm also looking at the BOOX Tab Mini C... which, essentially being an e-Ink Android tablet... will allow me to download ANY application from the PlayStore, including the Kindle app, and VOILA... no fuss, no muss, I can read my Kindle books/comics.

Actually that leads me to another question... can I read my Amazon purchased COMICS on the Libra... or like regular novels, would I need to strip/convert them?

Anyway the Tab Mini C is more expensive at $400, (I can afford this, but do I want to?).

The Kobo Libra Colour is $220 + $30'ish for a DRM Strip/Convert software tool.

So, for an extra $150... no fuss, no muss, and I can, if I want to, download various Android apps <-- though I have 2x flagship tablets and a phone, so I'd probably never do this to be honest.

So, then... it's $150 no fuss, no muss vs the fuss/muss/effort/PITA'ness of converting my Amazon books to something Kobo can read.

If I can convert, say 10 books at a time, in just a few minutes or so... I may prefer to save the money.

2024.05.14 14:15 AllTheDiagonals Editing pdfs on Libra Colour?

Hello!
I am planning on taking the plunge and getting my first ereader soon and and really drawn to the Libra Colour for the notes and annotation features, as well as the Google Drive/Dropbox integration.
My question is, are you able to annotate/highlight pdfs that are downloaded this way, or are they view only? It seems reasonable that they should be, but I haven't seen it done in any reviews etc so I wanted to make sure!
The biggest reason I would need it is that I am a knitter, and like to have my patterns on my devices and highlight/cross out as I go, so I was hoping I'd be able to use the Libra instead of my phone!
Thanks in advance :)

2024.05.11 12:29 MVlurkingOnRDT iPad Pro 9.7" 1 year experience from an android user for 10 years

iPad Pro 9.7
NOTE: NOT A SELF-PROMOTION POST. JUST AN EXPERIENCE WITH MY IPAD.
i always avoided Apple products due to their app store limitations (more paid apps, etc), big-ass prices, overpriced accessories n' stuff. i would always get an android tablet, every time. but year ago i finally bitten the bullet and got myself a Pro 9.7".
now let's get started with my experiences on it!
iPad Pro in a case, was reading some reviews, photo taken yesterday (5/11)
(ratings are in this scale, from worst to best: G-F-E-D-C-B-A-AA-AAA-AAAA)

THE BUILD QUALITY

THE CASING
  • despite that i am more on android side, i can't blame Apple for their build quality. THE CASE MATERIALS ARE ACTUALLY PROPER MATERIALS AND THE CASING COLOUR IS AMAZING, MAKING IT FEEL LIKE A LUXURY PRODUCT (and that's the advantage!). the screen easily catches fingerprints but i don't mind that.
  • rating: AAA

THE HARDWARE

A. THE SCREEN
  • i don't even know how to describe this feeling. it's not even an OLED screen and the colours on it are just OUTSTANDING for a non-OLED technology. photos taken on my phone actually look good on my iPad. heck, even the amount of blue light on white background is almost nonexistent, therefore making white colour actually white!
  • the response time when tapping is also good. feels like everything is getting registered. great for playing music games, which require synced tapping/holding, finding tempo and making beats when working with music.
  • rating: AAAA
B. THE PERFORMANCE
  • workers at Apple probably had fun making this chip... the A9X... it was a NEXT LEVEL CHIP when it comes to year 2016. 3dmark says that my iPad graphic performance in Wild Life is literally same as my 2020 POCO X3 PRO. A 2016 TABLET THAT WORKS AS FAST AS A 2020 PHONE!!! JUST AMAZING!
  • demanding games? no problem, my iPad can run black desert mobile easily at max settings.
  • recording gameplay? sure, no problem! and that's the best part... THERE IS LITERALLY NO AUDIO LATENCY WHEN RECORDING which actually makes gameplay videos watchable.
  • browsing Reddit in Brave? no problem, but i found it performing worse than my phone in some parts of the website. still, not bad experience at all.
  • editing song, making songs? iPad will do it's job quickly (the CPU usage doesn't even go to 100% but i think it's because i mainly experiment with trap music which require only few channels like drums, bass, etc)
  • rating: AAAA
C. THE AUDIO
  • THE SPEAKERS. THEY SOUND SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD! Nightwish, Vindsvept and other stuff there just sounds omega-fricking-tastic! watching movies on iPad is also a big step up from my previous tablets, thanks to the speakers which actually don't sound horrible at high volume.
  • oh, it's also the generation that had a headphone jack. everything feels balanced there, the bass is lifted a bit, mids and treble are comfy to listen to. it sounds so good that i could listen every second on it! and i thought that my X3 PRO was already good enough because of "Hi-Res audio" certification.
  • didn't use microphone yet.
  • rating: AAA - a bit too bassy in some genres but it's generally comfortable
D. THE CAMERA
  • actually not bad. the colours are natural and they feel like printed photos which i like that. i'm not a "photophile" but they just look good.
  • rating: AA - a bit noisy photos but the colours mostly neutralize this issue
AVERAGE HARDWARE SCORE: AAA

THE SYSTEM

  • iPadOS 16 - not the latest OS because Apple ended support for the Pro 9.7" but at least it gets security updates. the OS feels very smooth and looks good. the settings screen is not complicated and sometimes i find it easier to navigate.
  • True Tone is a nice touch, i don't have to manually adjust the brightness AND colour temperature! that makes good for playing with my iPad even on late nights.
  • App Store is decent. has all the apps that i need for studying, music, games n' other crap that i use. most of new "big" games are usually released on Apple devices first and there are FULL ports of PC games that i could play them but sadly most of them require at least an A12 CPU. i forgot to mention that App Store can download multiple app updates at once unlike Google Play which downloads AND installs one by one.
  • security wise, it's decent. you have to enter your passcode to unlock touch ID if you don't unlock the iPad after 2 days. you must use touch ID if you want to install new apps from App Store. and my phone only wanted my password on restarts when i needed to use fingerprint unlocking.
  • rating: AAAA - surprisingly good OS, and the store is enough for my needs.

FINAL SCORE

9.5/10 and we round it up... 10/10 - this is already good, i wonder how good the iPad Pro with M chip will be, gonna start saving money on one.
TL;DR - i have NO IDEA why i was avoiding Apple for so long. why i didn't gave it a shot much earlier? the iPad surprised me how good it is at EVERYTHING.

Trigger Warnings: emotional abuse and manipulation, controlling behavior, verbal abuse
Original Post: April 28, 2024
My husband and I got married about a year ago and have been together for six years. I became pregnant quite quickly, and I gave birth to twin girls about four weeks ago. Thankfully neither of them needed to stay in the hospital for longer than normal, which is rare for twins and I am so happy they're healthy. They were born naturally so I don't have the surgical wound or anything which has made things easier, although the whole thing was not a great experience. But once they were born, everything had seemed to be okay. Except they just wouldn't breastfeed.
I've tried, I really have. I've talked to all my doctors, I've done everything they said but it just doesn't work and it hurts as well. They both hate it, and I don't think I'm even producing enough for both of them because when they will feed, they get really hungry and cry soon afterwards. I've tried absolutely everything to make it work but it just doesn't and they'll either refuse or not have enough. I told my husband I can't do this anymore, and he said that I should talk to my doctors but it's probably a phase. And once they're hungry enough, they'll feed because that's what they'd been doing. Also that it's far healthier for them to be breast fed and that we shouldn't just switch because they're being picky.
He does look after the babies with me and it's fairly evenly split throughout the day, but I've been getting up every night to try and feed them when they're hungry but it's just not working. Eventually I told my doctor I was doing everything I could but they just wouldn't feed. They checked both of the babies for things that may be affecting this, but there was nothing. So she said just to move to formula, and that I've done the best I could do and it was better at this point to use formula instead because then they'll be getting enough and not be waking up so often in the night. I told my husband what the doctor said and that we need to switch because the babies going hungry so often could have lasting effects on them in the future and I don't want to affect their development.
He disagreed, but the babies were starting to cry again and still not wanting to feed, so I called my doctor about everything I would need, what I would need to do. I went and got those things and they actually fed, and slept much better in the night. One of them was still a little fussy but once she had some she was so much better and drank the whole thing. It was such a relief that I could finally sleep for a bit and they've been far happier for the last couple of days once I switched to formula. But I wasn't feeling well so I asked my husband if he could feed them one night so I could sleep for the night. He still has parental leave, so he doesn't have work or anything that would be affected by that. But he said that I chose to go against him without a proper conversation or agreement and so I should be responsible for feeding them still.
It upsets me that he holds something like this over me when I tried the best I could to have them breastfeed. They just won't, and I've tried everything. It doesn't make any sense forcing them to go hungry when they will have formula, and they're both much happier now. I was talking to my mother, as she's going to be coming with my father to see the babies soon and I was telling her that I was really tired. She said she can help me once she comes to see them with the babies and their feeds at night but I'm already so tired and sore and I wish my husband could help me now.
But he said it's a waste of money and that I should be feeding them like a normal person and that's what I'm naturally supposed to do. It makes me feel awful because I've tried so hard to do that, but I just can't. They're his babies too and it would help so much if he could feed them at night sometimes, even just once a week. I know other women have gone through much worse and what I'm dealing with is not that stressful but it really is a lot and I just wish I could have a night's sleep for once instead of having to be awake so much and I know I'm lucky but it's really hard and it's becoming a bit too much. I don't know how to find any kind of compromise with him when it comes to the feeds at night and it's making it difficult.

Suspicious_Egg_1516: OB nurse here. Your husband is being unreasonable, controlling, and manipulative. He is punishing you for making a decision that actually is yours to unilaterally make because breastfeeding is YOUR BODY. His input is secondary on this. They aren't his breasts, his nipples being sucked on, or his mammary glands not producing enough (VERY common with twins!). Formula isn't a toxic substance that poisons babies. It is a vital alternative in situations like yours.
The biggest concern here is that your husband, rather than support you in what is obviously a difficult but necessary decision, is using the situation as an opportunity to escape shared parenting duties AND blame you! Is he a humongous asshole in other areas of your marriage or life? Because I'm finding it hard to believe that someone this awful is a saint in other aspects. Please consider downloading a free PDF of Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft and reading it while you're giving bottles to the babies. Your husband is either temporarily insane or an emotional abuser.
OOP: That was what my doctor said, that I probably just aren't producing enough and that it's unlikely to change. And the babies hated it most of the time anyway, I don't know why but they just did. And I'd rather give them formula than have them hungry.
He's not normally like this in other aspects, no. I wouldn't have married him if that was the case. He hasn't acted like this before but I think we're both really stressed at the moment and that isn't helping at all.
OOP on her husband being against giving their twins the formula instead of being breastfed
OOP: They'd likely be fine with it. I just don't want it to be too much for them, me being there with two babies. I'm sure they wouldn't mind but I still don't want to be doing that.
He didn't seem to understand that they were really hungry. And although they would eventually try if they were hungry enough, I don't want to be doing that to them when they should be getting fed enough consistently.
 
Update: May 4, 2024 (6 days later)
Thank you to everyone who commented on my first post. I took my daughters to my parents, and I have been there for almost a week now. Both of the twins seem to be doing well, and they seem happy, they're five weeks old now. One of them is starting to try and make noises as well, which is a nice change from the crying. I took them to the doctor so they can be checked and they're both healthy and they're growing a bit better now they are having formula. One of them is a little fussy about it, but will still feed.
I've finally been able to sleep properly. I'll feed them at night still, but my mother or father will feed them in the morning, so I can sleep then and sometimes I even get to sleep for nine or ten hours. It's so much better, and I feel like I can enjoy the babies more while they'll still small when I'm not so tired. They've been enjoying sleeping outside now that they're not so hungry all the time anymore, and they don't cry so much. I do feel horrible about letting them go hungry so often when they were little but the doctor said they'll be fine now they're getting enough with formula.
I was worried about frustrating my parents with the babies, but they seem really happy with them there. And the babies don't cry very much now so it isn't so bad. My husband is angry at me, I told him I was going with the babies to my parents but I think he thought I meant just for the day. We've called each other a couple of times and he's said horrible things to me and how he wishes I was dead, but I'll deal with how he feels later when I feel better and know I can manage the babies on my own because they still need regular feeding quite frequently and it's only achievable with my parents helping at the moment.

floppybunny86: Hey OP! I commented on your original post & encouraged you to reach out to your parents stay with them. I’m so glad to hear that you are feeling much better, and your babies.
Your husband’s reaction to you leaving is a major red flag, especially when you consider he would basically rather have seen your babies starve than “allow” you to bottle feed. I really hope you pay attention to how he is behaving, because he is showing you his true colours now.
I really hope you have the strength to pay attention, and do what you need to do to protect your babies from him. I hope you have a village of family & friends who can help you.
This internet stranger is rooting for you! Good luck!
OOP: They are so much better, I'm really glad I carried on with what I was doing because they're not so hungry.
It is confusing that he's so upset, I know I should have told him but I couldn't manage and he wasn't helping so I don't know what he thought I should've done.
pastel-goth3722: Your husband calls to wish you dead and your solution is to wait until the babies don't need to be fed as much to work it out with him?
The only way you need to work it out with him is by getting a divorce lawyer and separating from him.

2024.05.10 03:04 TheRealSectimus The quality of the RMA process since EVGA has ceased production of graphics cards...

--TLDR at the end.--

Card #1

I had no issues with this card whatsoever, then I got a brand new TV I wanted to hook up to my PC, I had to connect this via HDMI as TVs just don't have displayport ports (yet?). Prior to this I have never even used the HDMI port on my GPU, only two displayport ports for two monitors.
When I connected the TV and played any HDR 4K 120hz content (The absolute limit of HDMI, only possible with a HDMI 2.1 certified cable) I would get random screen blackouts and colour issues, this did not occur on anything other than HDR 4K 120hz content. I noticed that angling the HDMI cable at the GPU end would cause the issue to go away, however gravity caused the cable to sag again and the issues recurred. This lead me to believe that the connection was not perfect, and flaws appear when every byte of data matters.
I tried many different displays and many different 2.1 HDMI cables, all with the same result. I figured my card is still under warranty and I should be able to use the HDMI port without these issues so proceeded to open an advanced RMA (the difference between a regular and advanced RMA is you have to put down the entire cost of purchase as collatoral, then a new product will be sent out before the company receives the original, reducing downtime).

Card #2 (Two weeks from deposit to delivery)

All was well with this new card and the HDMI issues were no longer pressent... for about 2 days, after that I woke up one morning to my PC not POSTing with the white "VGA" light appearing on my motherboard, indicating a GPU issue.
I tried this card with different PCIE cables, I tried reseating the RAM, CPU and repluging everything on the motherboard itself, I tried resetting the CMOS, different ports, nothing. I plop in my old and battle-hardened MSI GTX 970 and the system roars to life without issues. At this point I suspect the card itself is DOA, so I ask my boyfriend if I can use his PC to see if it will boot, it does not. The exact same issue happens in his machine.
So now knowing that I have a dead card, I place another advanced RMA (even though this card is dead, I didn't want to be without a PC whilst they waited on the return).
It was at this point I discovered that EVGA will only send out refurbished models, not brand new ones; this makes sense as they do not produce these cards any more.
They sent me an email stating that they no longer have the EVGA 3080ti XC3 ULTRA GAMING edition in stock, so instead they can offer me a EVGA 3080ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING edition, I accept.

Card #3 (One week from deposit to delivery)

I only really did light gaming during the first 7 days, (Mortal Kombat / Binding of Isaac) and everything seemed to go swimmingly. After this point I started playing more demanding games (Elden Ring / Baldurs Gate 3) and noticed my PC was randomly black screening with a hard crash after an hour or so: non-responsive keyboard LEDs, ctrl+alt+del did nothing etc. I hit up the event viewer to see what error happens at the point of crash:
The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: \Device\Video8 Error occurred on GPUID: 100 The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table 
Two days of troubleshooting the same old cables, drivers, CMOS etc. (and continuing to blackscreen) later and I finally decide enough is enough, I'll see if it can handle itself under load by doing a stress test, I decided on downloading furmark. It is consistently blackscreening after around 10 seconds in the furmark 1440p preset.

Today

Whilst I am troubleshooting this issue, I start recording evidence for EVGA... Almost Immediately after blackscreening on video at the very start of a furmark test, the machine would no longer POST and presented the exact same symptoms as Card #2. I am now again without a functioning GPU, and have to resort back to my good ol' MSI GTX 970 just so I can use two monitors as I quite literally need this machine for my work (I am a Software Developer). It boots fine with the MSI GTX 970, the "new" EVGA 3080ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING edition now won't POST no matter what machine it is plugged into, identical to Card #2 completely DOA.
I did also try additionally this time to check the "OC" profile on the GPU PCB and the results were still the same, ruling out a firmware issue.
Now here I am, today, May 10th, ranting on Reddit about this whole situation.

Extra

During the original RMA process, my original card got completely totalled by UPS, I packed it exactly the same way Card #2 was sent to me, same box, same packaging material, even same courier.
Thankfully EVGA are bros and accepted the RMA anyway, but it does mean I can't be sent back my original card with the HDMI issue and just deal with it. So I am shit out of luck and now have to deal with EVGA's atrocious RMA QC. At least I know I am not alone after reading so many threads of people in the exact same situation.
I just hope they can at least refund current market value of the card ~£500-£600 so I can go purchase an identical one from a local store and not have to deal with this any more.

TLDR:

EVGA are still mad bros with great customer service. However the RMA refurbishment QC is severely lacking with no sight of getting better due to an ever dwindling supply.

Thought I'd try and make my laptop run a bit quicker by clearing out the usual, Cookies, Downloads, History etc. Obviously go to log back in to Tradingview.
Now I'm presented with options to logging in with my X account and thought, why not. Now it thinks I'm a new account and my watch list has gone AWOL. OK, don't panic, lets just reset my password, all should be good.... Either I need to disassociate with my X acc some how or start all over again. There is too much work I feel to start all over again. I had all my tickers sorted into colour coded categories with a Live Trade section, up and coming etc...
It is a paid acc, not the free option, so, if anyone out there knows a fix, you would make me a happy man. All the best to you all, Nick.

2024.05.08 13:16 slideandrun First marathon - Copenhagen

First marathon - Copenhagen
Apologies if this is a bit long, but I've found people's accounts on this sub very useful, and hope that something in here will help somebody else. I'll try to mainly focus on the training, considering what sub this is.
  • Goal 1: finish first marathon (YES)
  • Goal 2: finish under 4 hours (YES)
  • Goal 3: beat (former government minister) Matt Hancock's London Marathon time (YES)
  • Goal 4: finish under 3:50 (NO)
Background:
M49, 100kg, 185cm
Running for about 10 years, generally on flat road with occasional 10k road/trail events and a couple of half marathons a year in the last 5 or so years. Until this year, my weekly running would amount to about 20-25k.
I'm turning 50 this year, so decided to challenge myself to a marathon in my 50th year. I'm carrying a lot of fat around, so I'm not great with heat. I chose Copenhagen for my first mara as their climate is similar to the UK, it's a fairly flat course, and it's a great city with a lot of great people in it. Also, the timing was good, as it's late spring, which would usually mean mild weather in Copenhagen.
Training:
Thanks to a bit of lurking in this and other subs, I picked a Hal Higdon intermediate training plan. This was central to my training, and got me to the starting line with an amount of confidence. That said, I got things a little bit wrong, probably because I was trying to do it on the cheap. I'll explain why.
Firstly, I generated an intermediate plan from ‘yourtrainingcalendar’ so I could get all my planned training runs into my Google calendar. I'm in my calendar many times a day, so having colourful reminders of my commitments in there is very useful. I also went to Zapier and created a link between my Strava activity and my Google calendar, so that whenever I completed an activity, it automatically posted it to my calendar. This meant that for every day of my training plan, I had a planned activity, and an actual activity sat next to each other for comparison.
This was absolutely great, and totally suits the way my brain works. However the downloaded activities for the plan don't say what sort of run to do e.g. tempo, Fartlek, or whatever. So to get some guidance on that, I also signed up for the (free) Hal Higdon plan through the Run with Hal iPhone app. This gave me guidance for pace in my training, but the days and distances didn't quite match up with what I'd put in my calendar. So I had to do a little bit of management to use both plans, which was basically just an extra minute's faff whenever I did a run.
Training started in January, and largely went pretty well. Generally 30-60km a week, plus a bit of strength/ cross-training with a weekly PT visit and very occasional Zwifting on my bike. Had a few dips for ski holidays, where I dropped a run or two, but I stayed on course. I picked up some niggling injuries, which usually went away on their own, if I was sensible.
Nutrition/hydration:
I tried a few different gels during my training, and decided at the last minute to go entirely for Maurten gels and SIS Go powder for hydration. These seemed to be the best match for me, having tried a few combos. The plan was also to stop at every hydration station and grab a sip of water to take the edge off the sweetness of the supplements, and to ensure I stay hydrated.
Music:
Also, I'm a major music-lover, so spent my training months building a playlist of tracks whose bpm matched my cadence. I find that this makes it easier for me to almost meditate during a run, as I match breathing and cadence to the beat, and hand over the responsibility for my pace to the predetermined playlist. I eventually built a playlist that very slightly increased in bpm over time, with occasional repeats of tracks I find particularly motivating. Some gifted Beats Fit Pro earbuds have served me well during training, so they came with me.
Race weekend:
Flew out on Friday, checked into hotel, walked to Expo to pick up race number, etc. The official t-shirt was a nice Nike dry-fit shirt, served up in a material tote bag. It was a nice expo, where I also picked up a couple of cheap Sparta Copenhagen items as souvenirs. Decided to do the official 'shakeout run' organised by the Sparta club, which was a nice 5k around the nearby lakes with a few hundred participants and some free drinks at the end. After walking back to the hotel, I added up that I'd walked and run 18k that day, which rather spoiled my tapering. It left me a bit achey, so I had a burger and a few beers, and largely rested through Saturday to freshen up for the race on Sunday.
The race:
Very well organised race, with ample hydration and nutrition provided throughout the course, as well as toilets at every hydration station. In fact, having decided to stop at every water station, there were probably too many stations for me! I ended up stopping too often, drinking a bit too much, and had to stop to get rid of some of it around the 39km mark. The people of Copenhagen, and friends/family of participants were wonderful, and lined nearly all of the route, shouting encouragement (often reading people's names on bibs and calling them out, which was sweet) offering high five 'turbo boosts', etc.
Early in the race, I noticed that my Stryd foot pod and app were out of sync with the course markers. It said I was doing 5:25/km which was my planned pace, but it also said I was hitting km markers well before the actual course markers appeared. I had expected this, as the line you run is rarely the line they measured for the course. But this was quite a big difference. I did some mental maths and figured out I'd have to pick up my indicated pace to get under 4hrs. I found this a bit unsettling and irritating, but once I'd spotted it, I picked up my pace and tried to hold onto it. This worked out fine until the last few water stops, which (I think) got closer together and therefore disrupted my running more.
I probably reached the absolute maximum number of gels I could take, as I started feeling a little rough after the last one. I tried to take them every 7km, mostly uncaffeinated, but two with caffeine. I drank more than I needed, which meant I felt pretty good, but was losing time at water stops, and had to stop to use the toilet with 3km to go.
The music playlist worked well, but I should have added a few more tracks, because my changing mood during the race meant I skipped a few of the less bouncy songs, and I'd run out of music by 41km. However, this did mean I could completely take in the atmosphere of the finishing straight.
I managed to keep a consistent pace throughout the race, with the exception of the drink and toilet stops, and had enough energy at the end to speed up for the last km or so. Occasionally I'd check my watch and realise I'd sort of sleepwalked into a slower pace due to losing concentration, but was then able to pick it up again. Interesting what an effect mental alertness can have in a mara. Hence the usefulness of caffeine, I guess.
The aftermath:
At the end of the race, as the heavens opened, I decided to take in some of the atmosphere of the finishing area, ring the PB bell and have a photo taken. Also grabbed a celebratory pint of Carlsberg, before heading off in the torrential rain to find a rental e-bike to ride back to the hotel for stretches and shower before heading out for more beers with friends. I'm so pleased I spent those extra 20 mins or so at the finish area, taking in the atmosphere. Despite the rain that kicked in, it was such a happy place, with so many people having achieved something special, and volunteers/supporters gleefully celebrating those achievements. Lovely. It motivated me to go and cheer on the people who were still finishing for a while.
Spent the evening in Copenhagen, and the following day slightly tentatively (stiff quads, but otherwise feeling OK) wandering around some of the sights and shops of central CPH. It's a lovely place, and I'd happily go back and do the event again.
3 days later, I'm no longer aching, and am ready to ease back into running, before a half mara race in a month's time. Fairly sure the relatively quick recovery is down to the stretching after the race.
The event organisers sent a number of free photos from the event, a compiled video which included some stock footage of the event mixed with footage of me running parts of the course, and kept the celebratory Facebook posts going throughout the weekend. Well done to them for a thoughtful approach to the whole event.
Gear:
  • Soar t-shirt, which was a delight. Could barely feel it, and did a great job of keeping my temperature in check.
  • Odlo zeroweight 2-in-1 shorts, which were comfortable, but gave me a small rash from my phone rubbing my leg in the phone pocket. Never had this in half maras or training runs.
  • Runderwear anti-blister double-skin socks. Still got blisters, but they're not bad at all, tbh.
  • Salomon race hydration vest, which was tolerable and useful, but was pretty heavy once it was full of gels and full water bottles.
  • Nike Alphafly 3s. Think I prefer my AF1s, but the AF3s were almost certainly kinder to my feet and ankles than the AF1s would have been over this distance.
  • Squirrel's nut butter and Lanacane anti-chafe gel for various areas to avoid chafing. Both worked well, largely.
  • Beats Fit Pro headphones - great. Stayed secure and comfortable throughout.
  • Stryd footpod, as mentioned, annoyed me. I just don't think the only reason for distance/pace discrepancy was down to meandering off the main racing line. Will need to work something out for my next marathon, as I want to rely on watch stats during the race.

2024.05.07 21:04 superdstar56 Setup Mobula7 & Radiomaster Pocket - First Time + BT2.0 and Bluejay upgrades

I got my Mobula7 1s about a week ago, and I've spent every waking hour trying to get it to work. I finally got it up and flying and I flew about 40 packs, broke 2 motors off the frame and broke the antenna. I have more screws and a replacement antenna in the mail. It is even more fun than I was expecting.
If I was more weak of heart, I would have given up on the setup process. I am in IT and my job requires a lot of research, trial and error, and tech research. I was following YouTube videos, but so many settings and things have changed on new updates, I wanted to give my exact setup directions so someone like me can find this and see what I did to get mine to work. Looking back I probably spent...15-18 hours trying to get it all right. I set up and re-set up a lot of things.
**Starting out in FPV Takes a LOT of knowledge and setup of equipment. Follow along and watch ALL of the videos, sometimes multiple times. I found myself finding an answer by re-watching and going over the steps multiple times and catching something I'd missed. This is a time commitment, setting up your quad and your radio is going to take A COUPLE OF HOURS AT LEAST! So get comfortable.
Here's what I started with:
Happymodel Mobula7 1s - Analog 0802 20k X12 ELRS
Radiomaster Pocket (I wish now I had started with a Boxer, but I will probably save for a Boxer Max. For $65, the Pocket has been great, and now I'll have two when I get the one I want, sweet)
EV800D Goggles - For $100, these are useable to start out
BetaFPV BT2.0 Pigtails - get that juice
Soldering Iron (I got a 60w all in one kit and I wish I got the TS100
8x Tattu 1s BT2.0 450mah HV batteries - charge to 4.35v
ViFly Whoopstor 3 - highly recommend, charges 6 batteries quickly
64gb SD card for goggles
Skyzone USB OTA Receiver - does every new fpv pilot buy one of these so other people can watch?
2x Meteor75 Pro Frames (everyone and their dog recommends the M75P frame as the most durable, I got extra to build a slightly "larger" build for outdoor - You can use 45mm props with the Meteor75 Pro
Gemfan blades - mine have chipped already, but these don't really break
**After flying for 2 days, I'm ordering 100 M1.4x3 screws ($7) because the motor screws break off from the frame when flying/crashing. They give you extra but I've used them up and I'm on the last ones. I'm also ordering these 75mm u.fl antennas because I've broken the ceramic tip off of the antenna and if I go behind a wall I lose signal. No big deal, a few bucks. UPDATE - after flying about 20 packs, the antenna is better than nothing but not as good as the flimsy original one, but i did bend it a lot. I have a truerc singularity in the mail.
Lets start with the radio:
Radiomaster Pocket - (I'm sure this same thing works with Radiomaster brand radios, I followed along with people on the boxer and zorro - also if you don't have a radio I have to vote against the zorro for the small batteries)
Follow Captain Drone explain and setup switches (STOP at 8:30, where he starts binding. Betaflight update lets you bind from your computer. Start watching again when your drone is connected and the firmware is updated. Later he will walk you through setting up the "arm" switch and flight modes.

**I struggled to bind my Mobula for a long time until I realized that the video and the walkthrough on Github both failed to mention the "packet rate" setting in the radio menu when you press the ELRS lua script. The default is D500, and MOBULA WILL ONLY BIND on the 500hz setting. Anything with a letter in front and you will wonder what is wrong.
Update your Radiomaster internal ELRS lua script to have your binding phrase. Follow these exact instructions, but set the correct packet rate!
Plug in your quad and connect to betaflight (explained in Mobula section)
Go to the Receivers tab, set SPI reciever mode, with CRSF, and the binding phrase you put in the lua script. Save and reboot
Either press "bind" or go to the CLI and type "bind_rx"
Run ELRS lua script and press Bind. There should be a C in the top right corner. Your radio is bound.
Mobula7 1s - Setup and bind to Betaflight
Soldering BT2.0 connector - (gives you more power and more amps, highly recommend) This was my first attempt with a soldering iron. I watched Bardwells 30 minute tutorial and it helped tremendously. I started at 300C and it was too cold, I got the positive off but not the negative. The thru holes are difficult and so small. You have to hold the ground for quite a while for it to come out. I was holding the board and it got very hot, to the point I thought I messed it up. I tried again later with a hotter iron and doing quick 1-2 second bursts and it went much smoother. Take your time, line everything up. I successfully did it, but I should have practiced first.
Download Betaflight configurator (the web version didn't work for me on my Windows machine)
Plug in your quad and let Betaflight (BF) find it.
**SAVE YOUR CONFIG - go to the "presets" tab and Save Backup to someplace you will remember. After you flash the firmware, you have to reload the backup
Go to firmware flasher - Auto detect or the Mobula7 is CRAZYBEEF4SX1280. It should match the target in the top left.
Load Firmware (Online) and then Flash Firmware. You might have to save and reboot or unplug and plug back in.
**This is a huge part where I got stuck (I don't remember if it was before or after firmware). The radio and quad weren't binding. Finally, on the BF Welcome tab there are links to drivers. Download the ImpulseRC Driver Fixer. It is a tool which automatically fixes the incorrectly assigned driver for STM32 BOOTLOADER (FC in firmware update mode)
Move your quad around and make sure the model on the screen matches with what you're doing, and that the arrow points to the front of the quad.
Go to the Receiver tab and make sure your radio is bound with your quad. Move the sticks and make sure they correlate with throttle, yaw etc.
Betaflight Setup - go back to the Radiomaster section to the Captain Drone video. Start after he binds at 8:30. (You will use "bind_rx" in cli tab) It walks you through setting up arm switch and flight modes, etc.
Presets - this is especially useful because you can use someone else's information to get you started. I used the UAVTech Whoop preset, I believe it sets the master multiplier at 1.6x, and it works for me.
Bluejay Firmware - Everyone should have this. It enables bidirectional dshot and rpm filtering and makes the quad run way better with longer flight times. It's an online configurator that flashes the flight controller built into the Mobula
This OscarLiang post describes how to flash your Mobula perfectly. The only changes I made were: both common parameter sliders I moved ALL the way up. I saw 2-3 YouTube videos and posts where they upped the startup power min and max to the most allowed and it runs perfectly. (When you are on the "select target" page, the default leaves it at BLHeli_S, you have to choose the drop down of "Bluejay")
I chose the latest version firmware, and 96khz pwm frequency is recommended for tinywhoops and that it what I used. Definitely play with the startup melody, they have super mario and star wars tones that your quad will make every time you power up. Every time I plug in a new battery I get the super mario bros theme song.
Go back to BF, on the Configuration tab, my gyro update was 8khz and pid loop frequency was 8khz. After I setup the OSD, my controller was running at about 75%+ (you can see the cpu load in bf) which is about the cutoff for being too high, according to my research. Setting it at 8khz gyro and 4khz pid loop was the smoothest running for me.
**Please setup your BUZZER - I did, and the captain drone video he walks you through setting it as a switch. This saved my drone countless times already. Once you crash into a bush and take your goggles off, you completely forget where you were flying. The buzzer helps track it down more than you would expect. Flip over turtle mode is a lifesaver also, that is mandatory.
On the Motors tab, turn on Bidirectional DShot, make sure dshot300 is selected. The mobula7 has 12 motor poles. You can test each motor individually to make sure they are spinning the right direction.
**At this point, I could see the video in my goggles, and I could power up and arm the quad, but it kept jumping, twitching, and cutting power every time I gave it throttle. After lots of things, I checked each motor. Run each one individually and feel if air is blowing above or below, if it's not below, then it's the wrong direction. The solution to this was the checkbox under quad x "motor direction is reversed". I turned that on, and it worked perfectly.
I moved throttle expo to .30 and I like it quite a bit, everything else I left the same.
Closing - I'm sure I forgot/confused a few crucial steps, I'm going to be updating and fact checking these steps to hopefully help someone who was stuck like me. I hope I described each problem I had well enough so that if it happens to someone else, they can figure it out.
Since starting to write this two days ago, I've ordered a couple more things:
TrueRC Singularity 20mm locking u.fl antenna (best antenna, fits under canopy)
Extra set of HM RS0802 20k motors. Mine are champs but if one breaks I want to swap it.
TBS Trimph Antenna RP-SMA male ($20) - Huge upgrade to omni antenna on EV800D, if I find a cheap patch cable that would be cool but I'm saving for digital
Extra Runcam Nano 3 Camera (I want to try the TW Pinch)
2x Mob7 v4 frames - mine has pretty bad road rash (tinywhoop.com has cool colors)
New canopy with camera mount (the first few times you take it apart, the tiny foam piece is a pain to keep under the camera
Have fun flying!!

2024.05.07 19:15 foxidegamedev Anyone Successfully made a Texture to Painted Transparent Blend Texture?

Anyone Successfully made a Texture to Painted Transparent Blend Texture?
I'm trying to make a blend texture that has one of the stock textures as $basetexture and a completely transparent texture as $basetexture2. This would make it possible to paint irregular shapes using displacement alpha, without having to spend an absurd amount of time cutting up brushes or doing 3D models. Look in particular at the ceiling in this reference image to see what I'm trying to achieve:
https://preview.redd.it/lzg32u6mc1zc1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95c4415a65b22e19930002e7e99f1b25a810b3d7
In theory I could have like 3 layers of displacements to represent the narrow wooden planks with gaps, then two of different plaster colours (white and greenish).
But nothing seems to work in practice, I've tried every combination of $translucent and $alphatest and $alpha and $nocull, but at best I seem to be able to get one of the textures to influence translucency based on the texture rather than the displacement vertex alpha (so the transparency is applied uniformly and pretty much uselessly and I've tried messing around with VTFEdit import formats too, nothing seems to work. I also tried using a translucent stock texture and all these with and without a $blendmodulatetexture intended to make the blend entirely sharp:
"WorldVertexTransition" { "$basetexture2" "wood/woodwall004c" //"$basetexture2" "cyan/transparent" "$basetexture" "glass/glasswindow037a" "$surfaceprop" "wood" "$nocull" "1" //"$alphatest" "1" //"$translucent" "1" //"$alpha" "0.99" //"$blendmodulatetexture" "cyan/blendsharp" } 
I'd put another image showing how it looks in-game and in Hammer but Reddit isn't letting me add more than one image, and the results are wildly inconsistent anyway.
More details:
  • Using Hammer++ 8864 (when I go to the download link for 8865 it just downloads 8864 🤷‍♀️)
  • Slammin compile tools, multiplayer, 1.7
  • Running in Garry's Mod, latest, no beta or x64 version of any kind
  • No errors related to these textures in compile logs
So what's the point of this post? Well I'm out of ideas and not interested in trying a billion combinations of VTFEdit texture formats and VMT commands. But I'm definitely considering putting a bounty on getting this working, because it's potentially powerful for achieving specific aesthetics.

2024.05.05 23:44 danmeowdanmei 7-day trip review incl. Nami Island zipline

Apr 2024 Itinerary
Day 1: late flights, dinner at Gwangjang Market

Day 6: Colour testing (at another place), Hongdae shopping, Myeongdong shopping
Day 7: National Museum of Korea, War Memorial, Banpo bridge, Gotomall, COEX Starfield (Starfield Library, COEX Aquarium)
I started planning about 2 months ago, bookmarking the places on Naver Maps, and decided on our schedule considering the area/location, Seoul Pass, etc. Imo I planned quite well given that we went to so many locations everyday and hit all of our personal must-gos. We were quite rushed at each location, and very tired at the end of each day, so my itin doesn't fit everyone's travel styles, but it was what worked for us. We also prioritized location/tourist spots over food, so our meals were more "whatever was near and seemed good" instead of specific must-go restaurants (except Myeongdong Gyoja and Han Yeosa).
Transport
Naver Maps. Most of the transportation used was via subway - quite convenient with English signage everywhere. Only thing was the many, many stairs at most subway exits, and it was sometimes a long walk, so by Day 4 when we were tired we sometimes called for a taxi. The taxis are quite cheap, so we took them when we were in a hurry as well. Thanks to this sub I had already downloaded the Kakao T app and read about how to use it, and it went pretty smoothly. Longest wait time was 2 minutes max, there was always one nearby. We either paid by cash or T-money.
Colour testing/colour analysis
1st was Ocollor, booked/paid via Klook, and confirmed booking time via KakaoTalk. It was $265usd for 2 people, there was an interpreter and went on for 1hr45mins. They classed me as autumn deep. Gave examples of makeup products, best and worst colours, etc.
2nd was @/colorsociety, booked via WhatsApp 1 month prior and paid onsite, 220,000krw for 1 semi-premium package + body type analysis. Almost immediately after I entered the room she asked if I was winter and was very surprised that that was not my previous result. She did my makeup for me, recommending products and teaching me how to do makeup, plus recommending clothes that suit my body type by sending me screenshots of various Korean clothes brands. We were done in 1 hour.
I booked two different testings exactly for this reason. I am leaning towards Color Society’s result, just because the colours she proposed seems to better fit me, and she did have a machine thing to test for undertones (which may or may not be more scientific? idk). The makeup she did on me, using specific products fit for winter tones, also turned out quite well and I would love to replicate that as my daily makeup. However, both testings were quite expensive and could’ve been longehad more content for such a price imo.
Money
We brought ~30000krw cash, bought T-money cards in convenience stores at the airport, and added money into them. When we went to Myeongdong we exchanged our local currency for 350000krw. The shop with the best exchange rate is right outside the Chinese embassy near the Chinese school - indeed there was a queue while other nearby exchange shops were empty. The cash was not enough for us - taxi drivers and underground malls/roadside stores/stalls all prefer cash, and apm Place (which we often went to) ONLY accepts cash. In total we should have prepared/exchanged 500,000krw.
We both used Wise card and whilst my friend’s card had a problem and could not pay for some reason, mine worked just fine, super quick conversion from my local currency to more krw when I needed it. I was even able to take out cash using Wise from a random ATM in Myeongdong, even though there was an expensive transaction fee.
Food/Tourist spots
Gwangjang: I knew it was a touristy spot more than an actual traditional market but the location fit our schedule the best. It didn’t seem too expensive, and the food e.g. fishcakes was good. Maybe because it was a weekday evening but it was only a brief queue for the famous kwabaegi and it was soooooooo good.
Han Yeosa: we went on a weekday lunch time and were pleasantly surprised that there was no line at all. It was expensive at 55,000krw/crab, but was good. 1 crab is enough for two people as it was very salty despite having rice and banchan. We both couldn’t fully finish our crabs, which was a shame.
London Bagel Museum: I had heard about the insane queue times and so originally did not plan to go. However when passing by we saw the short 30 minute wait, probably because it was a weekday afternoon, and since we were shopping around the area anyways we decided to go for it. The bagels were good, but not 1-hour wait time good. The soups were great tho. Very heavy mushroom flavour for mushroom soup, and very heavy black pepper taste for tomato soup (don’t order tomato soup if you can’t handle spice)
hanboks: I forgot which specific store we picked. Rather than deciding and prepaying online, I suggest going there, looking at different styles and prices, then pick a store. I went there with a specific store in mind but changed my decision when I saw a hanbok I really liked at another. They usually do have lockers for free, and some stores offer hair accessories, bags, etc. Prices are different depending on how long you're renting a hanbok for but usually 20000-30000krw/2hrs - shops will say 10000/2hrs on the door but those are prices for the simplest styles only. Anything that looks good will be more expensive so ask or make sure you know the exact price before deciding. Also evaluate how much time you really need to rent the hanbok - Gyeongbokgung is literally like 2 minutes walk away and you'll be done taking pictures within an hour. We returned ours just over an hour later.
Myeongdong Gyoja: The kalguksu is SO good I went again right before my flight. Unlike any other noodle or soup I’ve ever had. But was also quite salty and heavily flavoured.
N Tower: we put locks there! Get your locks from home/other places instead of buying at N Tower cause it's like 10000krw/lock iirc with very limited styles. The diagonal(?) elevator from Myeongdong up to N Tower is free. The cable car tickets up to N Tower and the N Tower observatory tickets are separate tickets, separate payments. I got so confused researching and planning this part ngl.
apm Place at Dongdaemun: open from 8pm-5am daily except Fridays and Saturdays iirc. A big, 8-floor mall full of clothes and only clothes. 99% of people were Chinese daigous (purchasing on behalf of others) and livestreamers selling to their customers. Most places ignored us and only offered wholesale to daigous, and did not do retail so we couldn't directly buy from them right there. You have to ask each individual store and ask about each piece directly. Sometimes you can just simply buy it, sometimes you have to buy two or more items from the store, sometimes the store doesn't do retail. 99% of sellers speak Chinese. It was a very special experience, and a very good way to spend time very late into the night without worrying about how to travel back to the hotel if you live in Dongdaemun. The clothes are more expensive than Myeongdong and underground malls, but of a better quality and design. All stores only accept cash from individual/walk-in buyers like us tourists. This is why we needed so much cash
Nami Island: now I did a lot of research on this sub and online about whether it was worth going to Nami Island (and surrounding attractions) and that’s up to individual opinion. My friend really wanted to go, so it was worth it for us. I originally thought about going ourselves, but it’s so difficult to get there (subway to KTX to bus) that I just booked a tour that would be more comfortable and allowed us to visit more places than if we went ourselves. Tour was good, guide was good, went smoothly. We did have the option to zipline into Nami (completely separate from the tour, pay for tickets onsite. I tried booking online tickets but didn’t have Naver Pay which would require a Korean credit card). The zipline was great, not scary at all, felt very safe given that we were above water, 10/10 would go again. We originally planned to take the Family course (directly to Nami) but decided to pick the Adventure course (zipline to a nearby island then speedboat to Nami) because of the shorter wait time. On a weekday afternoon, Adventure course had a 30 min wait time, Family course 1.5 hour; honestly not too bad, and you could eat at a nearby dakgalbi restaurant to wait. Adventure course was more expensive than Family, we paid 105,800krw for 2 people. The dakgalbi restaurant on Nami 10/10 recommend, although it is slightly spicy. Sights on Nami were…normal? Like I wasn’t expecting anything too amazing and that’s what I got. It’s a good waterside/forest-y walk in good weather but nothing too special. I would go only if I lived in Seoul/aren’t pressed for time in travelling and want a relaxing nature day imo. Having a tour guide/bus was also extremely important - booking or buying tickets and going to each of the attractions myself would have been a nightmare.
1 in 1 cup: amazing view, and we went on a weekday evening so there was literally nobody else on the rooftop. Breathtaking view of the hanoks especially on a good day without clouds or rain. We didn’t know that we could go up to the rooftop from behind the cafe without paying, so we paid for terrible tasting drinks unfortunately. But still worth it. We went by taxi from the nearest subway station.
Aquafield Goyang: 100% worth it if you have the time to relax. We were on a tight schedule and could only spend 1 hour in the actual jjimjilbang unfortunately, I would stay the whole day if I could. Bought tickets onsite as there’s usually onsite discounts for entry after 3/4pm. Was not crowded but still had a respectable flow of people in and out of various spas/rooms. Did not go into the sauna (you have to go completely naked) as we were not comfortable with that. The jjimjilbang is a separate area where you wear the provided clothes and sweat in rooms with different temperatures. Food court was wonderful. Spas were clean, very very spacious, very relaxing, wonderful experience 10/10.
COEX: Very good spot for last-minute shopping as there were many brands concentrated in one area. Huge mall with the Starfield Library, which was a bit underwhelming given all the tourists jostling for the perfect photo, and COEX Aquarium which I was pleasantly surprised by - the stamps at each area was quite fun, and the mermaid performance was fun as I'd never seen one before. I thought there was a hands-on doctor fish treatment or interactive fish-touching areas/events(?) but there wasn't any so I was slightly disappointed.
Clothes/Olive Young
If you’re looking for feminine, cheap clothes with less regard for quality, PLEASE visit underground malls and Myeongdong. Outstanding mentions include WANTT in Myeongdong (12900krw pants, SO comfortable, I went there three times to buy all the colours. 15000krw jeans, 9000krw crop tops, etc.), Myeongdong underground mall and Gotomall. Gotomall is huge!!!, you could shop there for hours, I could only skim half of it. There’s a lot of restaurants inside as well which a lot of locals were eating at so I’m sure they taste great.
I went to an Olive Young store at least once a day and it was still not enough!! Cosmetics are so cheap and the staff are soooo helpful, they can all speak basic English and if you're finding something specific just show them a screenshot or a Korean translation of what you need. I regret not buying more makeup and skincare products honestly. It's so cheap and good quality. Apparently prices for the same products can be different at different branches? Idk cause I never checked but I still bought anything I saw because it might not be in stock at the next branch, especially popular brands like CLIO and peripera, I couldn't find everything I wanted because specific shades were all out of stock.
We spent about 2,500,000krw for 2 people, excluding flights and hotel. I think a huge part of why I was so happy with this trip was 1) pleasant weather, it wasn't too hot or too cold, slightly sunny just enough for it to be warmly comfortable. Very little rain, and didn't ruin any of our plans. 2) We went in late April, which is not a tourist season, avoiding Easter and cherry blossom times. That meant there were very little queues and attractions were less crowded, so we were able to take pretty pictures and actually enjoy the facilities/views.
My only regret is not bringing enough cash, and missing the Banpo rainbow bridge. I went at 12pm and it was only a waterworks show, not rainbow lights.
10/10 trip, can't wait to go back to Seoul (and Jeju hopefully)

2024.05.02 18:56 SplinterForSale Info dump: Persona 3 Reload Physical OST, Standard Edition

For anyone who thinks about purchasing the physical OST (Standard Edition) CDs for P3R:
First of all: If you dislike the rework of the Soundtrack, there is nothing in this package that justifies the price tag.
Secondly: The OST is meant for a japanese audience. There is no translation provided for anything. There aren't even any furigana, cause of course there aren't. Why would there? Hope you practiced your Kanji.
If you can deal with that, here is what you are getting for your (at least [see 5.3]) 3850 円:

1) Purchasing the physical ost for P3 Reload will get you a few goodies:
1.1) Besides the physical disks you'll get access to a download version of the OST. This one is available as a .wav or a .mp3. Each of these three choices are way better than the .exe format of the digital souldtrack. Information to the music files:
With a non japanese OS all file names that use kanji will be rendered completely unrecognizable.
The file name for the track "全ての人の魂の詩" will become "Disc1_02_sà¿püªpü«S¦¦pü«T¡épü«F¬¬ (P3R ver.)". I don't know the original file name but it seems like it should have been something along the lines of "Disc1_02_全ての人の魂の詩(P3R ver.)".
The track names in the file data should be read properly though, so your media player of choice should display the kanji correctly.
When ripping the CDs the file names will be the same as the track names of the downloaded version. On the other the windows media player could not read the title, contributing artists and album name properly, mostly displaying all kanji and kana als questionmarks.
Side note: In contrast to the CDs for the P3, P3P, P4G, P5 and P5R OST the standard rip path for P3R will be "useMusic\アトラスサウンドチーム\ペルソナ3 リロード オリジナル・サウンドトラック[Disc Nr.]". Previous CDs had another path,"User\Music\ATLUS\目黒将司\OST_Disc_Folder_Name". I don't know why they changed it.
There is another problem though: The ost will be sorted inside the folders "/Disc1" "/Disc2" and "/Extra". Each folder has it's contents track number go from 1 upwards, BUT the album name in each of the file data will be the same. So you may have your Mediaplayer auto sort your P3R playlist like this: Extra#1 -> Disk1#1 -> Disk2#1 -> Extra#2 -> Disk1#2 -> Disk2#2 ect. Be careful when you create your playlist if the order of tracks matters to you. Either sort alphabetically via file name or, when sorting via track name, add the disks one by one.
Attention: The downloaded version of the tracks seem to be higher quality than the ripped version from your CD. eg. Full Moon Full Life as a Downloaded .mp3 is 9.40 MB and as a CD Ripped .mp3 it is 4.47 MB. The ripped version has the same bit rate but lacks other data like cover art.
Regarding audio quality: Even after extensive listening with different audio systems I could'nt hear any difference between downloaded and ripped versions. My ears aren't that good though.
The soundtrack is recorded in stereo format. (Sadly there is no 5.1 version of the OST. Endless Space pampered me a little ^^')
The downloaded version includes two bonus tracks that are quite nice. Those tracks are alternative versions of "Burn my Bread" and "Deep Breath Deep Breath".
In conclusion: Between ripping and downloading the OST, downloading seems to be the superior option.
1.2) You will get stickers with portraits of the whole protag cast. Those stickers are 2.5 cm x 3 cm or 1 in x 1.1 in
These stickers do not include Strega members or the Chairman. Too bad if you ask me.
1.3) You'll get a booklet. The booklet is of good quality and includes comments by the ATLUS Staff.
These comments are printed over the "All Out Attack" slides of each character. Aegis' slide is still in the booklet, but hers has no comment printed overit.
Those comments are all in japanese.
The lyrics of the songs are all in their original language. English stays English, Latin stays Latin and japanese stays japanese. As mentioned before: no furigana. They are printed over a single color gradient portrait of one of the SEES members. This time Aegis gets Text printed over her as well. To rectify this stunning display of disrespect towards the best toaster in all of fiction Aegis gets a second page with lyrics. This time in full colour and off to the side so she is displayed completely. I guess the art designer has a Fav among the OCs. The last page for the lyrics is a double page with all the protagonists and antagonists besides the Chairman. Interestingly enough this picture shows neither Orpheus nor Messiah. But in the back, on the side of the antagonists, you can see Thanathos hovering over the moon of the dark hour. The last double page is Door-kun again with some info about the artists and other ATLUS staff members.
1.4) The CD case is solid plastic and comes with one of those paperback-wrappy-thingies you will not know what to do with after taking the CD case out of the plastic wrapping. The case has the CDs in the front and the back, with an additional page in the middle. This one holds the booklet, the stickers and the Student ID Card / m-card. The Card holder and the booklet are a little too small so the stubs meant to hold those items in place dont function too well. Opening and closing the CD case may result in violently flinging merchandise all over the place.
The CDs themselfes have a unsurprising design. Disc 1is a gray Gekkoukan High Logo and Disc 2 has the green breaking clock you see, when entering the dark hour. The booklet has shares the logo of P3R with Door-Kun in his new SEES Special uniform. The background art behind the CDs is light blue with a small P3 Reload print above two white-ish wavy lines.
1.5) You will get a Gekkoukan High Student ID card. The bar-code on the front reads "GEKKOUKAN" and the Backside of the card is a m-card.
2) What is a m-card?
2.1) m-card.info is a japanese hosting site. As far as I see it, it has no alternative language options besides japanese. To my knowledge (not really good japanese reading skills) the CDs booklet and the terms of service of m-card say, that m-card is a Japan only service. Either way, you do not seem to need a VPN to access all services and can use google translate to navigate the site. I accessed m-card with an european IP Adress and it worked flawlessly.
2.2) The QR code in the top right of the m-card (The backside of the Student ID card) will get you to m-card item 1983. You can also manually enter the link right above your download code.
To access your bonus items you have to log in. Possible ways to log in are Line, Facebook or Twitter. You can also generate an m-card account to access the downloadable content. I tested an european Line account and it worked perfectly fine.
2.3) The m-card homepage may be accessed with reasonable up to date versions of Windows, mac and Android Systems. I did not test Linux. There is an FAQ that you can translate via google if need be. There seems to be a few cool features possible with MAC, but I don't care enough to read through all of that or summarise it.
3) Via the m-card you'll get:
3.1) A download button for the OST as a .mp3 or a .wav. These will be downloaded as .zip archives and will include the two bonus tracks mentioned in 1.1. The download will be done by your browser. You can start the download and then close the tab as soon as the download starts, the file will be downloaded regardles.
3.2) A "Making of P3R OST Bonus Tracks" as a stream. This vid is all japanese without substitles.
m-card does reccomend to stream on a pc. Smartphones sometimes do not work.
Mind that the stream may crash if you first start the stream and then start the download of the ost. You will have to refresh the page in your browser to start the stream again.
I did not find an easy way to download this vid. Neither on the page itself nor in the page source code. When the page goes offline in april 26 the making of may become lost media, so if there is a savwy archivist around: Go for it!
As I see it there is no countermeasure for screen recording during the stream. But I assume that this is against the terms of service.
4) Things to be careful about:
4.1) After activating your m-card code you'll have 5 to 6 months to watch the stream and download the OST inkl. bonus tracks. After this your code expires. Don't ask me why please. I don't know either.
4.2) In April 2026 Item 1983 will no longer be hosted on m-card. If you aquire a legit, unused download code after this date it may still be inoperable.
5) Final thoughts:
5.1) If you where able to download the music from the digital ost, the physical CD set would most likely be obsolete. But, since ATLUS wants all the money they what they did and made the digital ost, as well as the digital deluxe edition a scam. Data Storage costs literaly nothing. You can rent a server for a few years and it will hardly cost you, so the time limited download of the bonus tracks is only meant to trigger fomo. Stop it ATLUS. How about not trying to be a moneyhungry monster for once?
5.2) On the one hand the bonus tracks and a few stickers do not justify relatively high price tag but on the other hand you will still be able to call those CDs your own, even if someone messes with the Steam servers (not likely), your local government restricts access to foreign servers (depends on where you live) or legal issues between Steam / PSN / Microsoft and Atlus arise (For anything besides PSN I can actually see that one happening) Besides that you can display those CDs in one of your shelves, so you can be happy to see where your money went, even if there is a power outage.
5.3) With a price tag of 3.850 円 the CDs themselfes are on the higher end of the spectrum. Additionaly you may have even more costs for shipping, import fees, handling fees or all of those at once. Thus the price may triple if you live outside of Japan.
5.4) Is it worth it? To me? Yes. I am sure though, that not every one shares my opinion. This is why I made this post, so you can have a better understanding what you get for your money.

2024.05.01 13:29 UrOnlineTooMuch aPossible to download ALL books on cloud to Kindle

Howdy do. I flippin adore my Kindle!

Though I have a very fast, very 'filling' (I own a large house & land. You've no idea how hard it has been getting my internet connection everywhere I need it. Thank you Mesh routers!) internet but I like to own all my content... well own is the wrong word as even though we 'buy' stuff we're technically just buying licenses, or renting. guh. the worst word in the universe... so both my Nintendo Switch consoles have 1tb microSD cards, even my old PSP has a device to use microSD cards in lieu of sonys weird proprietary nonsense stick! My oled Steam Deck PC has a 2tb internal drive, plus 1tb MicroSD, plus adapters to use another (get this) 4x1tb microSD cards on the go. Historically I've owned numerous iPod 'classics'. One for TV shows, one for movies, one for music hehe.

I recently on a whim updated my 8gb Kindle Paperwhite (the latest model. but the smallest size. I didn't want to wait the 1 month until the 'signature' edition was released hehehe) to the current one which is 32gb I think? Either way it's big.

I've been collecting ebooks since 2002ish back in .txt form in some cases lol. Ive never been able to read normal books but e-Ink displays are wonderful to my eyes. Especially the warm light update, man I love that! blue light during the day or if I want to stay up reading... amber light at night or when I want to have a cosy nap in a nook somewhere tucked away ... getting nappish thinking about this! Might have one after this if I can find the god damn keys to the treehouse I had built for my son, but now it's a mini " home away from the main home " as the saying goes, for my wife and I. It's so good inside... multiple rooms, in photos it looks no different to a cabin you'd find in somewhere like America!
I have around 5000 books or so on my cloud Amazon thing. The best way I can download them now is to utilise Collections as you can download whole collections in one press. And for books not in collections I'm trying to find a way to add them to collections as fast as possible. Current best method: using a Macbook Pro I'm able to quickly select 25 books in one press, and add them to a collection. But its only 25 books at a time.
I wish to fill my Kindle. I've emailed Amazon support asking for help plus the engineers I'm barely even acquinted with yet have their contact details, about methods for downloading all books to new kindles.

(I cannot wait for a colour eink display to show up in Kindles. I'd love to read some comics! My 13" iPad is amazing with its incredible display but its not eInk!)

OH! BEfore I forget. The bonus of adding all books to Kindle is that you can search for text across all your *downloaded* books. It's very very good and very useful! I've discovered random books I love like mad thanks to searching for random terms, whatever my interest might be that day/month/yeeeeearrrrr (8)
~~ds~~

ps. Yes I own Calibre. But it's not good here sorry you advocates!

2024.04.30 22:22 JonnyKruger Curiousity

My dad would like me to print him some fishing lures on my printer or at least attempt too so he can paint whatever colour he'd like. If I download a file that's compatible for my printer and slicer but I'd designed for a different filament and I print in a different one will it work?
I print on a creality k1 and right mainly PLA but have found a great sample for one designed for resin. Will it work or be a horrific attempt?

2024.04.30 18:21 beerica Notetaking on the Libra Colour

I have seen a lot of posts about the screen on the Libra Colour and the color saturation, but I have not seen many people talk about the notebook features, so I thought I'd put one together. Unlike many people, my primary reason for purchasing the Kobo was to take notes and annotate, so I thought I would give a quick review of note taking on the Libra Colour with the stylus 2.
I have not used a sage or a kindle scribe. The size is the reason I was not interested in them. This is my first Kobo device but not my first e-reader
I bought the Kobo colour because I could write in it the same way I would in a book, with the small form factor of a small notebook (something I have on me at all times).In all of my years of e-readership, I have never been able to read serious books or non-fiction on my e-reader, despite trying. I wouldn't remember my settings to get back to page numbers if I just took notes in a notebook and I like to mark on the text.
Cut to the Kobo Colour. If I'm traveling for six weeks, having a single device that works as a book for light reading, general note taking, and academic texts as well in a small form factor is ideal for me. That said, I read in small print a lot and tend to only travel with a carry-on. Sometimes I print PDFs at half page size so I'm AOK with small text. These things may make your experience different than mine.
When I got my Kobo yesterday I tried out note-taking first
I used it with 3 different books:
General Thoughts
Annotations
Being able to click the book and see all of my notations in order within the book and swipe down through them is nice. If you highlight and then write a note, you will first see the highlight and then it will zoom in on the note.
-Unfortunately, if your writing slopes down because you need room in the margins it will only show you things in line with where you started writing. You will have to click on the annotation to see the rest.
Annotations on Kepub
Fast, snappy, responsive, great. Everything above applies and you will have no trouble. It is SUPER smooth and feels great.
Annotations on Epub
Slower than on Kepub. Sometimes, if you have the font large it will get finicky with showing your highlight. When you make the font smaller it will be there, but it will feel like it didn't highlight it. Overall, just a bit slower than on kepub but it does work. I will likely convert my files to kepub because it just works better.
Writing in notebooks
The feel of writing- better than on my computer drawing tablet, but not tactile in the same way paper is. The stylus moves very smoothly but it is very responsive. It does not feel like the stylus will mar the surface of the screen.
Basic notebooks- There are lots of different backgrounds to choose from. I like a lot of them but they will not be comfortable if you are used to writing in a full size notebook. If you carry If you regularly carry a small notebook to jot things down in or keep records it's pretty perfect in size. If you like an A6 notebook, this will likely work well for you.
Advanced notebooks- My handwriting is not good and I only fully stumped it once.
I will personally not use this feature often because you can only write on a blank background and I prefer the organizer boxes
Overall
So far I enjoy the experience of taking notes on the Libra color. My biggest complaint is not being able to free write on the sticky note. The screen door effect that many complain about literally disappears for me if I'm not thinking about it. On top of note taking I read a short novel to see if I was comfortable with the size and feel of the device and it was very comfortable.
I think it works better than any device I've had for my purposes. I do not think this is the best device if you want something for reading for pleasure at home and only plan to read in black and white.
I read through several chapters of a textbook, a historical work, and a work of fiction and was able to flip to what I wanted in a fast way. I was able to annotate perfectly on kepub and will likely convert my epubs to kepubs that I wish to annotate. As someone who tends to travel for long periods of time to places where I have less access to things like wifi and power and may only bring a carry-on, it's kind of an ideal device from the perspective of size and functionality.
If people are interested, I can add photos of the different annotations I've made and give examples of these things, but that's my general overview of it all.
