Pixel 9 Pro XL in the GadgetLab! This is NOT a Gift from Google or part of #TeamPixel. According to Google I'm NOT a reviewer. So all I can say publicly about the Pixel is that it feels nice in the hand. It feels almost exactly like an iPhone. So I guess that's good. All my actual coverage will be on Patreon.com/somegadgetguy.

Nothing else will be published on YouTube or other social media platforms. I wouldn't want to upset Google's influencer marketing efforts with my honest and earnest opinions.

More exciting golf news. My daughter decided to get back into golf after a 15 year absence. She ordered new clubs and had them delivered to our house to store until the season starts. I got permission to open them and my wife thinks I'm more excited than our daughter. I loved playing golf with my two daughters before they gave it up for busy lives after university, and I'm a little giddy thinking about getting out with one of them this spring.

Generally not very OCD, but new @WiGLEnet toys took me down the rabbit hole.

Poking at @lukeswitzer and @lozaning code, added date stamps to filenames, messed around with colors, get a button press to toggle the flash on new network discovery…

3 hours just went ZOooooooMing by…

AND I got some exercise because my office is in the basement and I can only get a GPS fix upstairs.

And my code actually works (mostly). I love starting from a not-blank-page!

yep. another new toy. this one’s all for me. it lets me hook up my ukulele (or other instrument with that kind of jack) to a soundboard/amp with no cords to trip on.

I charged them up and tested them with my little Roland AC amp and by golly they work as advertised. mind you, these aren’t Bluetooth devices, they use the UHF spectrum.

best part? only cost me $12 and some pennies.

need to learn more instrumental tunes so I can wander off stage and get right into the audience’s faces

Oohhh ….. no words ….. drool ….

DiGiCoQuantum852 - DiGiCoQuantum 852, The new flagship in the DiGiCo family, BIG on power, but with an eco-friendly heart! Quantum 852 has been designed from the ground up. Familiar, yet different, and with improved audio quality via enhanced algorithms, Quantum852 delivers a massive leap forward in processing power. It is neatly packaged with 1000 nit LCD screens for full daylight operation and a newly designed worksurface, giving users the confidence that, true to the DiGiCo ethos, Quantum852 has been designed not just for now, but for the future. The console merges tried and tested workflows with immense processing muscle, bold innovation and all of the Quantum features, giving you the ultimate large format audio production mixing console. Under The Hood The DiGiCo Quantum 852 is a dual engine, 384 channel mixing console with 52 physical faders and 3 x 21.3” LCD high-resolution touchscreens. Combining the extraordinary might of five large-scale FPGAs, the Quantum 852 redefines digital mixing consoles. With a maximum of 384 input channels, with 192 Aux / Sub-Group busses, plus the familiar LR / LCR / 5.1 Master busses. It comes with a 64 x 64 Processing Matrix, 36 Control Groups, two Solo busses, 64 FX Rack slots and 48 Graphic EQs. Also included as standard are Mustard Processing channel strips, Spice Rack plugin style native FPGA processing options, Nodal Processing and True Solo. I/O With the arrival of the new flagship, it couldn't provide anything but the best when it comes to connectivity. Local I/O: Quantum 852's local I/O includes 12 Stadius 32 bit analogue inputs, 12 Stadius 32 bit analogue outputs and 12 Bit Perfect AES I/O MADI: Quantum 852 offers 8 MADI in/out at 48kHz, which can also be configured as 4 redundant MADI I/O with full channel count at 96kHz. Optocore: The Quantum 852 comes as standard with one Optocore fibre loop, which is 504 channels of audio; there can be up to 14 DiGiCo racks, or a combination of racks and tie-lines around the loop. There is also the option to upgrade to dual Optocore loops. That's 1,008 Optocore channels of audio and 28 racks running. DMI: We have also incorporated four dedicated DMI slots (two per engine) to accommodate the growing family of DiGiCo DMI card options. Allowing the console connectivity to be configured for the demand of the tour or event, you could plug in a Dante module, or the latest automatic mic mixing module. Each dedicated DMI slot provides you with an additional 64 x 64 I/O. Waves: The Quantum 852 provides Waves connectivity as standard.
