Somewhat unrelated question: What does a standalone unit like that get you? Eventually, you would have to migrate the tracks to a PC or laptop anyway, so why not just use a laptop and your DAW of choice?

Having the pads is nice to have, but is really worth it?

What is the use case, is what I am asking. Is there a benefit for live performance?

Edit: Since this will likely attract other digital music folk, are there any good Lemmy communities to check out for music production?

It's absolutely an I and not an l.

That doesn't seem healthy.

That depends on your skin type and the cause of the blemish. Test it on your arm first before slathering it straight on to your face.

Once I started keeping pure isopropyl alcohol (99.9%) around the house to use in several hobbies, I quickly gained some deep respect for it's magical properties and it's ability to dry anything it touches. Diluted or not, I don't look at the stuff the same way anymore.

(Also of note, rubbing alcohol is isopropyl and aftershave is typically ethanol.)

It's not destructive, nor can it really be considered illegal access. I suppose there is something illegal about it if it's classified as a DoS, I guess. There isn't much on a payment PED aside from an encryption key and maybe some network information.

Entering your PIN and accidentally hitting 3 buttons hardly seems like something to get charged with. How you leverage that for other things could easily be a problem.

All I am saying is that the likelihood of serious repercussion is very low. Still, I have to agree: Only do it with permission and with purpose.

It serves a niché function in some situations. (Physical pen testing, in my case. I needed the person at the register gone in one case so I could setup a small network tap.)

Since we are sharing...

Holding down 1-5-9 or 3-5-7 can drop a POS card reader into debug mode, but it's brand dependent. (I have had it also crash the host terminals in some cases as well.)

Not much. Employees don't give a fuck and if they did, they would probably get fired for trying to stop a thief.

Actually, many places where I live are scaling back self-checkout. I suspect it's because the geniuses who tried to save a buck by getting rid of tellers didn't realize they would lose more from theft. (It's amazing how many people don't give two fucks about shareholder profits, actually.)

It's even more cyclical. I usually can't remember the reasons why I made the change to begin with.

No worries! I am generally very open about it. (Your comment was recognizable to me, actually.) There is a very specific non-malicious bluntness that comes with the condition, actually.

But yeah, you have been practicing dealing with it your entire life. Treatment just helps a ton.

I do. Also, I am old(ish) so I have had many years to come to terms with what I can do well and where I struggle.

In this case, I didn't want to use it as a crutch or an excuse. After reading the number of awesome replies this morning, I realized I should have probably framed my comment differently.

People here put some real time and effort into giving some solid advice and I didn't expect that.

Edit: As a pure example, this is the third or fourth edit of this comment. Words are challenging, and programming is very similar in that regard.

Some people, like me, are not built to be developers. I can sculpt code in any language I need for whatever problem I need to solve, but maintaining code over a long period of time, with others, is not my thing.

The drive to do additional changes is just too high and the tendency for typos or obvious logic errors is too common. (There is one little improvement. It's right there. One line up. Just change it now while you are in there....)

I am not stupid and regard myself as a decent engineer but my brain is just wired in a more chaotic way. For some things that is ok. For developing code on a team, not so much.

Security is the field I am most comfortable with because it allows for creative chaos. Rule breaking is encouraged. "Scripting" is much more applicable and temporary.
