Moving my Restic backups to local NAS from MEGA once I get my drives. While at it, I'll migrate cloud storage to Google, as nothing else ties to MEGA now and less is definitely more with subscription. My personal AI subscription is from Google and it includes a ridiculous amount of storage (never filled a single tib).

Eight month wait is soon over and Amazon is better to deliver me 4x 6 TiB NAS drives next month :-)

I have this and yeah I agree that this display is gold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUG3ujsHR58

Picture is also somehow "calm" (not expert on topic sorry) and reading text and articles more pleasing than any other display I've owned. This display is my absolute preference for editing code.

U2410 supports also most of the popular home computers. E.g., it can sync down to 15 kHz used by Commodore Amiga and I can connect my homebrewed Nintendo Wii to it wihout any VGA/HDMI adapters.

Finally, it's pretty useful as a kernel hacker have one display which is guaranteed to work if there is anything at all working in the other end ;-) Just one display model to watch out for if comes up somewhere.

Exported the stems for my M8 test. I tried it, did something but not sure what I think. I make it a Renoise project.

I uninstalled the app as it would really need the actual device to be actually producitive tool. Got enough taste :-)

Does not make sense spend more time on it as buying M8 is like 600'ish plus customs from US. No EU distribution.

Same goes for its competitor Picotracker Advance i.e., money/value does not connect at all.

I could get USB-B splitter cable that I want from US but shipping to my home costs about $80.

I cannot believe this isn't a thing at Ali Express ;-)

Dirtywave should sell custom midi controllers for their iOS app.

I would not buy the dedicated device but I would definitely pay even unfair sum for the controller :-)

iPhone is much better hardware for my needs given e.g., built-in WIDI. And I can carry one device instead of two, which another plus.

Musicians don't buy Apple hardware because of the brand. The problem is really PC manufacturers and ther zero investment to grounded audio ports and decent quality dacs etc :-) There is no "PC option" for music IMHO.

I get creating song material w/o general purpose computer but what I don't get is this optimizing to not touch to a computer at all costs :-)

This is usually (always) combined with a purchase of a hardware sequencer that costs at least as much as a MacBook Pro :-) and sometimes you have to go to a multi year wait list to get one for yourself.

Personally I bought Macbook Neo to be solely a DAW/sequencer and CME H4MIDI WC MIDI hub to which a WIDI chip can be mounted. Anything from natively supports WIDI. And yeah, I' use Renoise a lot as only tracker DAWs have the tactictility that sort of "glues nicely' with the gear :-)

I'd bet this is AI generated site: https://yabridge.org/

E.g., installation instructions are completely off the tracks.

Those two Roland synths (term in the broad scope of the word) run on AA batteries. And I just realized that do five out of seven hardware synths that I own. It's clearly an attribute that I appreciate... And I like to reboot working environments constantly meaning that physical objects do change their place all the time at my house :-)

Learning Dirtywave M8 (iOS version). Took a while to learn how to do things like "select". Sounds quite horrible but I got something out :-)

What I'm interested to see with Dirtywave M8 is that how well it will perform as controller for small hardware rig and iOS version gives cheap opportunity to test that use case given I don't have to purches M8 + WIDI adapter (~1000 EUR) :-)

What I have is https://www.cme-pro.com/h4midi-wc-usb-host-midi-interface/

Inside that I have post installed widi chip.

If it feels the right tool for this case, then buying the gear one would make sense.
