I have one as well. It is just the ticket for pumping up air mattresses and the like. 👍

Newish to world of audio, am I ready for an upgrade?
Dasher replied to Poncy's topic in Beginners & Purchasing Advice
if you’re happy with your current setup then the main thing to do is enjoy listening to your music/movies. This is sensible advice but let’s be honest this ain’t going to happen once you have the upgrade bug - Half the fun is trying new stuff and learning about what you like and don’t like. The other argument against this strategy is that it takes a long time to understand what’s out there, what you like, what you don’t and where the value is. I have tread down this path and my advice would be to enjoy it. But I would also caution you about the law of diminishing returns -
Anyone remember this one? Terrified my back in the 80’s. https://youtu.be/Iyy9n8r16hs

I borrowed a set of these from a friend once and they are fantastic cables. They were so good in-fact that I only listened to them for about half an hour before I realised that I could not listen to them any longer without them leaving me disappointed with my current set up. Although I had them for a couple of days I never used them again. GLWTS.

I also use PLEX for all my photos. I have been looking for a way to have easy access to all my digital pics; iCloud was too expensive and I don’t trust google. I bought a NUC on SNA copied my pics to the HDD and now I can access them all on multiple devices, TV’s, even remotely over the internet. It’s not as fancy as google pics but it preserves our privacy and works great. Often I set our two TV’s to shuffle through our pics in different rooms. I just leave them going, it’s great to see the pics of the kids when they were young.

These bring back fond memories, they were my gateway drug into spending a crap load of money on hifi gear. Great sound for the money, GLWTS. -
PLEX and Roon install on Linux Mint (NUC)

It’s enough to drive you made isn’t it. Sorry I couldn’t help. -
PLEX and Roon install on Linux Mint (NUC)
Dasher replied to Dasher's topic in Computers & Technology
I have found PLEX to be weird with my USB drive. While I can access it in Linux through the file manager I cannot find folders vis PLEX unless it is formatted in NTFS. When you are in PLEX and pointing it to where you keep your movies can you see the folder on the drive where you keep your movies or just the drive itself? If I use any format other than NTFS I can only see the drive and not the folders and PLEX will not load anything, -

I wish I could offer more but I’m very much the beginner with Linux. -

I have also tried different file formats. I found that I could get Plex to recognise the drive with all formats but Plex would only see folders on the drive when I use NTFS. -

The last time I used Ink Hub. A great price and I think they got them to me the next day. I would definitely use them again. https://www.inkhub.com.au
