Korkstand

I appreciate the help and suggestion, but I'm way too deep into this project now. :lol: Here is the little display powered up and showing a demo volume level. It is not a full color display, but it is 128x64 pixels, and the top two rows (16 pixels tall) are yellow while the rest (the bottom 6 r...

[quote]Wouldn’t be the Pioneer Andrew Jones soundbar would it?[/quote]It wasn't, but I just read the reviews on that one and it looks like it blows a cap all the time, too. I know there are millions of satisfied soundbar owners out there, and I was too for a while, but I now believe that it's ju...

[quote]I don't have a mask, will not have a mask, and will not wear a mask to pacify anyone. HELL NO!!! The line is drawn right here right now.[/quote]Do you get this mad about: Having to wear shirt and shoes in stores? Having to wear a seatbelt? Having to obey the speed limit? Et frick...

[quote]I have yet to hear a coherent case for the current statues being removed. What is the benefit?[/quote]They take up real estate that could be used for more productive purposes or for a different monument that actually celebrates America....

Speaker wire hasn't really changed. How many do you have? ...

[quote]Keep it up. They mock the statue all the time. Dress it in drag. Paint on it and such. More a joke than a monument to a Lost Cause movement.[/quote]But it's so fun to pretend that half the country worships this Lenin statue in order to justify my view that my tax dollars should be spent ma...

[quote]Yamaha YAS-209[/quote]I looked at that one, and I found this in the Amazon comments: [quote]Soundbar turns itself off after a few minutes... So, you pause a movie to take a phone call and come back a few minutes later. You press PLAY and there is no sound. Now your TV is on and your soundbar...

[quote]My Harmony remote with hub can set a delay. I use it to first turn on whatever device takes the longest to boot up and then the other devices that are quicker.[/quote]The problem with this particular soundbar that I bought (and with many others, it seems) is that it goes to sleep after 15 min...

[quote] I wish I could use an antenna for my locals but living in Natchitoches we are just a bit too far from the towers in Shreveport and Alexandria to consistently get a solid signal.[/quote]What type of antenna did you try? You can definitely pick up stations in Alexandria with a pole-mounted yag...

[quote]tough to say since my sonos speakers are already a sunk cost and i don't plan on buying any more anytime soon. don't forget sonos is allowing IKEA to sell sonos-lite speakers for $100 but i'm sure the sound quality isnt exactly great.

Update: It took a while for the parts to come in, and then once they did I realized I had made a mistake. The HiFiBerry Amp2 and the Audio Injector are both HATs (Hardware Attached on Top) for the RPi, and since they use the same I/O pins they are not compatible. So I had to order a USB audio ada...

[quote]Covid is causing many of them[/quote]How many of them, in your opinion?[quote]More suicide and drug OD due to isolation and layoffs.[/quote]And it is your belief that doctors are risking their careers by misattributing these to covid? Also, suicide and OD deaths combined during a typical 3 mo...

[quote]The belief that google provides results that are most relevant to a search term is ignorant. It’s not your fault. That’s what they want everyone to believe.[/quote]Ah, right. I forget sometimes that once a company reaches a certain size, profits cease to be their motive and instead they just ...
