(from Slow News Day, couldn't get it to repost.)

I really liked Dill, but it has — for whatever reason — disappeared off to Barnes now. Everywhere else I have been in the surrounding area has been mediocre at best: where are East Sussex’s cool restaurants?

Has any savvy shop owner stocked up on these for tomorrow? Tried to buy some online but can’t get a delivery before Sunday!

Y'know, it's not a bad movie but MY WORD what a corny soundtrack. It's like a temp score made its way into the final cut.

Obviously, we're all here, so there are plenty of things we like about Reddit. But what's the thing that ticks you off the most?

Is it:

[A] Obvious karma-farming bots?

[B] Human users accusing other users of being karma-farming bots, and dismissing every post as ‘AI slop’ ?

[C] Endlessly recycled memes and copied videos?

[D] Every single history question being basically ‘How could the Nazis have won WW2?”

[E] Something else?

Sometimes I look back after a practice session, hoping to remind myself of a particularly good run of tunes, only to see that it got bored after the first few songs and forgot to log the rest.

Wondered if anyone else had seen it… and more importantly found a way to fix it!

I use the 'Mixer' window a lot with Logic to provide an instant, tactile volume control. It's worked fine for years.

Just the other day, I noticed that it was no longer displaying track names – just a blank spot where the names ought to be.

Flipping to other modes, sich as MIDI CC or the Komplete Kontrol window, show up fine, suggesting that the screen itself hasn't failed.

I tried downloading new firmware for the keyboard from NI's site – as far as I can see it's the correct firmware but the installer can't even see my S61 at all.

What do we think has gone wrong here?

I’d like to share, if I may, a positive Sonos experience.

Since I moved house, about 4½ years ago, I have been unable to reconnect my Music Library to Sonos.

I painstakingly followed the instructions on the Sonos site more than once. I have been trying to fix this issue – on and off – fo ryears.

I’ve spoken to numerous people on Reddit and on Sonos forums and most of them were convinced that I wasn’t following the instructions that I can assure you I was definitely following.

I have a few Macs, so I tried to get the job done on all of them. Upgrading / downgrading operating systems – nothing worked.

I recently got yet another speaker – my 10th – and figured it was time to put things right.

I contacted Sonos support online yesterday, and went through all the steps I’d already gone through while chatting to their LLM ‘AI.’ In itself a waste of 20 minutes but I ended up with a support case number.

So today, I called up Sonos support & spoke to a nice lady who clearly knew her business. She remoted into my machine and nailed it. I was watching everything she did – as one should whenever a stranger is remoting into your machine – and she definitely did some stuff that is not in the basic online instructions .

But the important thing is that she got it done. I am so pleased about it. I have been hitting my head against this brick wall for so long and now my torment is over.

I've always thought that the Sonos upgrade system was a good deal., but I've never actually used it before; am I right in thinking that if I selected (say) three speakers to upgrade I'd get 45% off a new speaker? Is that right?

For me it's Sam Raimi's SEND HELP [2026]. The trailer I saw left me with the impression that it was a light comedy. It really ain't.

>!It kind of starts that way but then quite rapidly descends into a violent exploration of murderous obsession, !<

Have you ever been completely misled by a movie trailer?

Sure, he's a trillionaire on paper, but he couldn't realise that as actual liquid cash without collapsing the stock. So how wealthy do you think he is in real terms. 'Buy a big yacht' rich? 'Buy a small country' rich?

Let me know how you get on with it. Personally I think the 12" (track 2) is the more successful mix.

Normally I get every other update and, to be honest, there’s not all much in the new stuff that I can use but I just wanted to show the company some support. Did you go for it or will you skip this one?
