Thanks, sounds like a bit of a learning curve, but I might need to try one out.

The Isograph is still available on Amazon, as well as the Koh-I-Noor (Made in USA?) Isograph and the very interesting looking STAEDTLER Mars Matic.

Wow I had not heard of a technical pen, they sound interesting. I've been using an OHTO ceramic roller gel refill in my Rotring and Parker pens because I like the tactile feel with lowish resistance.

How does it feel to write with one of these?

Agreed. I've stated it before in other threads, and I'll say it again here, but if they asked me in 5 years to pay another $89 or whatever in continuing support for a badge on my server I'd happily do it. Plex is really good. Great UI, great apps, great external enrichments like trailers/subtitles/ratings/actor info, and Plexamp is 9.5/10 for music.

Their biggest fault is how they communicated about the change for remote users. I did have a few family members get the email and ask if they were going to have to start paying monthly now, but they've never been on a free server. They should have stated more clearly than if you were on a Plex Pass server that no change is required.

For software I like made by people getting paid, I was happy to pay the one time fee. It's really good, secure, and downloads are fast now.

I am from the US and have been referring to the dumb people around me as donuts recently. Still not exactly sure what this means to people in the UK, but it seems nicer than the words I was using previously.

I have the same setup with Picard --> mp3tag, it works very well for me. I prefer to overwrite the artist field with the album artist field for cleaner sync to my iPods with MediaMonkey (iPods handled multiple artists in the worst way imaginable).

Picard did take some light up front tweaking to get the directory naming to albumartist\yyyy - albumname\01 songtitle.flac but it was worth it

Totally agree. Gun issues need to be off the table entirely until sanity has returned to government. Dems need to focus on making normal government operations and improving living standards as exciting as the threat of taking over Canada.

It was a while back, but I feel like I remember trying this, switching between characters and going to their various markers on the map but nothing would happen. It was long enough ago that I can't rule out hitting a bug or missing a required side mission, but I remember not being the only person saying this.

I was never a fan of just driving around the city causing havoc, so even short amounts of time with no missions felt like eternity.

So many times in GTA V I had no idea how to trigger the next mission. I would probably go back to it and play through if it had some sort of indicator for how to trigger the next campaign mission.

I can't wait to get more games on my Epic deck, oh wait it was Valve who pioneered an incredible platform that can play AAA games on a handheld running Linux and made compatibility a reality for thousands of games.

For audiobooks check out Audiobookshelf. On my NAS I run it in Container Manager (Docker) and get the image directly from the built-in repo. I check for image updates every few weeks, though only to keep compatibility with the apps, as I don't notice new features. Very easy to set up, just make sure your folders are named correctly.

I'm coming up on 5 years as a Plex pass owner, so my users and I will not be impacted by this change. In five more years if they asked me nicely to pay another $89 to support the service I would. Send me some stickers and put a badge on my server. I get a lot of use out of the software/service, as do my family members.

I will say, I am quite annoyed at the wording and audience of this email. Jellyfin is just not an option for me until there is excellent feature parity with Plex. I know they are a lot of Jellyfin fans here, in my opinion, Plex is a significantly better experience for me.

 

Beelink SER9 users - I was having trouble with game streaming on my SER9 32GB. The video would freeze (one new frame every 10-20 seconds) in some but not all games. The audio and controls would continue to work. Clients were AYN Odin 2, Retroid Pocket 5, and Apple TV. AMD firmware was either 24.10 or 24.12.

I attempted to update several times to AMD drivers 25.3.1 and 25.3.2. Each time this upgrade failed with a black screen, and I was unable to boot into Windows. Each time I had to painstakingly revert the driver in safe mode with networking to 24.8, 10, or 12.

I was able to solve this by first updating my BIOS to V103.P8C0M0C15.73 using this link HERE. The BIOS download site was slightly confusing, as it states that your serial needs to begin with B, Y, or D, and mine started with 9D. It also refers to the SER9 as the SER9 Pro. As stated, I only have the regular 32Gb with Ryzen AI 9 HX370, the word 'Pro' is not listed anywhere.

The BIOS update process is fairly simple, but needs to be done carefully:

  • Use a USB flash drive (I used an 8Gb)
  • Format to FAT32 (drive needs to be less than 32Gb to format to FAT32 in Windows)
  • Name the drive to WINPE
  • Extract the contents of the zip download
  • Copy the contents of the folder (not the actual folder) to the FAT32 formatted flash drive with the volume label WINPE

WARNING - The process below must not be interrupted. Don't start it during a thunderstorm:

  • Boot SER9 and press F7 to get boot device menu
  • Select flash drive
  • Allow process to complete (~10 minutes)

After completing the BIOS update, I was able to update to AMD driver 25.3.2 using the full download installer. I made sure to check the box for clear user settings, as other posters have suggested this. This new AMD driver 25.3.2 has so far resolved my Steam game streaming issues.

Good luck, hope this helps.

I've been shooting for years and sometimes my lab scans come back with horizontal lines in them. It's somewhat rare that I see them, but I was sad that it happened on this roll as I liked a lot of the shots. I asked one of the employees, and he was not certain. I think it might be something in the scanner or density adjustment, but can't say for sure.

The details:

  • ProImage 100
  • Nikon F100
  • AF-S 85mm 1.8 G
  • Noritsu scanner
  • Processed in a rotary machine, as their mini lab is down for the moment.

I put a curve on this shot to emphasize the lines, but they were somewhat apparent. These lines look somewhat bowed, but other times they are straighter.
