Dell U4025QW. 40" Ultrawide 5k2k@120hz with Thunderbolt 4 built-in and 2.5Gbe.

I too have this one. It is a great monitor, but mine has some coil whine unfortunately. And the coil whine is more noticeable when running the monitor at 120Hz. Before getting the U40 I tried 2x U2725QE but both had coil whine that was absolutely unbearable. Either I’ve been very unlucky or the 25 series monitors just all suffer from the same issue.

Elasto Mania is a great game from decades ago (but still for sale!) that exploits this fact to a hilarious extent. You control a motor bike with excessively wobbly physics making all kinds of stunts possible (and necessary, to complete the levels) that are spectacular and surprising.

For those unaware, iOS includes a limited selection of such sounds. You cant mix or anything, but it might be good enough, at least it is for me. Search for Background Sounds in settings.

You can in libreoffice, but not excel. You _must_ change your locale. I went down this rabbit hole a few weeks ago trying to open some Dutch datasets.

You can in excel: https://superuser.com/a/407085

Also, I believe you can change the default separator in Settings somewhere.

Well, I didn't have a need to add or to change anything since then.

Here's the full timeline to get a general sense of the development pace - http://nullboard.io/changes

Just wanted to say that I really like the style/design of your change log timeline. :)

So I took measurments - it's not as great as memory served.

In order to get accurate timestamps, processing midi IN takes priority over OUT.

So OUT can vary in latency between 5ms and 60ms. An unfortunate amount.

Improvements can be made here. I'd recommend a splitter if you need low latency.

Do you have any suggestions or experience with such devices? I’m using a DP with USB to host only, connected to a computer/DAW. Ideally I would like to be able to continue to have it connected to the DAW, but also connected to the Jamcorder for seamless recording :)

yes, exactly. Passthrough is the highest priority thread on the device, preempting anything else.

finger · a year ago

Do you know if there is any (noticeable) added latency when doing passthrough?

I’m right handed but I often use my left hand and left ear, or sometimes even my right hand and left ear

When pricing pages use keywords like “popular” for one of the options, is it just pure marketing tactics or is there any truth behind it?
