BMW i3 REx with range extending petrol engine was released in 2014.


I drove an i3 rex, first generation. The gas motorcycle engine loved breaking down, due to disuse. Such an unreliable offence of crap. According to the dealership mechanic, the engine was packaged in a way that made the fluids collect in places they shouldn't.


I have driven the entire east coast on mine. I have put 60k miles in mine. All trouble free. Best car I have ever owned. If I have time on a trip I charge up and if I don’t I just use gas. That mechanic was pulling your leg.


First generation? According to Wikipedia and the few websites I could find, in American models, the rex had a different control setup that was simpler then here in Germany.


2018


And I was driving the 2013. So I rest my case.


I rest my case as well. You should have kept your case to first generation.


We once had an AKAI MPC1000 running as a master for a "big studio" ProTools rig using LTC. Good times.


Were you using a MIDI to SMPTE converter of some kind? The MPC 1000 only has MIDI I/O, no SMPTE tape sync. And the stock firmware only offered regular MIDI clock, not even MTC[1], though it is possible to get MTC in and out of an MPC 1000 using the unofficial JJOS OS[2].

You're holding it wrong. You can just record a real one and play it back. I use the same cursed approach with my 2500XL to intake/chop/modify/output cv/note signals to a modular setup (which has a handful of outs that don't need to be modified to do this)

JJOS is legendary though. Crazy how much it adds


Did a similar thing too with a sample of a single square pulse which allowed us to "sequence" a Juno 60 arpeggiator.


>You can just record a real one and play it back.

A real what?


A real LTC timecode signal. It was designed to be recorded on tape and used to sync multiple tape machines together among other uses.


Sorry, yes it was MTC, not LTC!

We used JJOS. It is such an awesome upgrade over the stock OS.


Future president in the making.


I don't think we should expect such unreasonable standards from future presidents.


bro the president suggested we nuke a hurricane and raped someone and is dismantling our natural resources, the bar is substantially worse than a couple months technical debt.


Yeah, I think N_Lens was saying the manager's behavior in that anecdote was too high a bar.


Fellow Apple product user. Join me in jeering at people who drink instant coffee.


I use Apple and drink instant coffee, though!


I grew up on instant coffee, i don't like it much anymore EXCEPT for tossing a bit and some ice in a protein shake 100% recommend.


Truly terrible platform. I engineer DJ events and every single time there will be someone who had used either too new or too old version of rekordbox for the model of CDJ/controller the venue got in. This is seemingly random and totally undocumented. If I had hair I would have torn them out long time ago.


For this exact case I have built https://chiph.art/en/project/2026/dj-usb-toolkit

The parity repair in the app should make the USB compatible with all CDJs because it makes both of the DBs identical.

I have also been able to repair the DBs that have been corrupted for example by disconnecting USB while Rekordbox is exporting to it.

I'm also just now building a website where you can send the DB repair requests for cases that need special attention.


I will make my DJ friends test this. Thank you.


Thank you!

Added repair service for Rekordbox USBs: https://chiph.art/en/dj-usb-tkit/repair


Do DJs just use whatever equipment is at the venue?

Don't they bring their own setup?


DJs are typically playing on promoter or venue provided equipment, which is usually industry standard of pioneer/AT.

Otherwise, they bring their own, especially if it’s anything custom or specific to their performance.


There are some DJs who lug their own Pioneer controllers with them. Precisely because they can make sure that their library will work! No other reason.


In the same boat here. At least still have a good standing at Microft. Lost goodwill at big G by what I vaguely narrowed down to self hosted images in e-mail signature.


Don't self-hosted images in the email signature allow you to track whether the email was opened or not and potentially where it was opened? I can only imagine they want you to pay for that privilege as a service.


Gmail already proxies embedded images so you'd only be able to track when an email was opened the first time. Anyway, I have been sending (very low volume) of mails with self-hosted images embedded in the body for years without problems with Gmail but Microsoft doesn't like my VPS IP because sometimes there are temporarly bad actors on the same block. So I guess it's mostly random luck.
