I would personally get off the platform if you are able to recuperate your costs. We don't have 100% confirmation that the microcode patches will fix the issue, as they won't be released until mid-august. May as well wait until the issue is fixed or spend your money on a platform that is more solid.

I'm curious about this as well. I know my car can access phone records and contacts for Bluetooth calling outside of AA, but what about everything else? I also thought it was just an external monitor for all of my other apps.

Hey so, I was in the same position. Try "Thunder", it felt close enough to me and I prefer it.

I am a righty yes! Currently I put the guitar body in between my legs and use the pressure of them + the strap while sitting to help hold it into position. I plan on getting a guitar cushion to help a little more with the positioning while I'm sitting, if you search "Guitar Cushion" on Amazon or Sweetwater you'll see the cushion I'm talking about.

I have smaller hands as well and I've only been playing about a year, I will tell you what I'm doing/have done to help with that:

  • For me, holding the guitar in almost a "classical position" (roughly a 45 degree position) helps a lot. It gets my wrist and palm at a better angle and helps with any pain while also giving my fingers the best possible reach. Experiment with positions to help you get your hands and the guitar as comfortable as possible to avoid wrist strain. A strap or a small cushion while sitting can also help you keep a position of choice when you play.
  • I bought a guitar with a "Thin C shape" neck and that helps my playing a lot too. it allows my palm to sit a little flatter on the neck which in turns gives my fingers a little more reach, which deifnitely helps as you find your way through practicing. I can still use other guitars with a thicker neck, I have an Epiphone as well with a "50's D shape" neck, but as I learn new things to do on the guitar I almost always start something new with one of my thinner C shape neck instruments to align closer to my preferred posture before moving to another neck type.
  • Part of it really is just practice and time to get used to what you should be doing while playing to avoid any wrist strain. As you practice more you'll realized what works and doesn't work for your anatomy. Definitely anything you can do to avoid what feels like strain is important as well, I got a little overzealous recently with my hurt my wrist some due to bad posture and I should have been more attentive to the position I was holding the instrument in.

I hope this helps you, best of luck on your guitar journey. It can definitely feel like a struggle sometimes, even just figuring out how to properly hold a guitar took me a while and I'm still learning what's best for my physiology. It's been a wonderful year for me of learning, I personally learn pretty slowly but I'm enjoying myself so much.

Are you me? I have been off of Twitter and Facebook for years now. Reddit is dead to me. YouTube seems like it's heading in the shitter. I've also been playing more guitar lately too! I'm still early on, I think I'm progressing nicely but I'm firmly in the "novice" stage. Take it from someone who didn't exercise at all before, you'll do yourself great even taking a nice walk for 20-30 minutes every day possible. It gets easier everyday, and they become enjoyable.

I have had one of these for a year. It's real handy but it does on occasion cut out my audio while driving. Happens more when driving with nav on. It's a little disruptive, but not enough to return it. I'm on an S22 Ultra.

Doctor Who and Warframe. Interesting combo, I think it could work.

Yep you do and some may argue that, depending on how you obtain that content, it's even easier than the setup of the NAS and Plex itself.

[–] oranwolf@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Well, I mean on those vendor NASes it's pretty much just chuck in a hard drive or two, follow prompts for setup, install the Plex app from said vendor's app marketplace, make a login, and add your content to the specific TV, Music, or Movie folders...Admittedly this doesn't get you setup with running Plex outside the network, but as a basic setup it's fairly easy.

I'm also confident someone would mess those instructions up, but if you even understand what self hosting is I'm fairy confident someone could follow the above instructions to add their content. Obtaining content is a different story, but if you already have your content it is easy.

They're just driving us to self hosted content quicker. Honestly if you can afford a NAS like a Synology or an Asustor, setting up Plex is so easy.

Some edits to this comment:

  • It's surprisingly easy to do this versus most other custom configurations. You don't even have to build a PC and setup holds your hand.
  • This is NOT including obtaining content, I was simply saying "Getting Plex running".
  • There are other configs you may need to get Plex the way you want, but watching your content on your local network effectively is complete once you complete the standard setup.
