#USB Menu Interface

[vergess]

Please, please explain how to install and use linux like I'm 5 years old. I'm so sick of windows adding AI and other bullshit to my already struggling elderly laptop but I'm really not good with computers at all so I have no idea where to start with Linux.

Okay, so, I'm going to break this down into steps I would give the average tumblr user first, and then if any of them are confusing or use words you don't understand, ask me and I'll explain that step in greater detail.

Step 0) BACK. UP. YOUR. SHIT.

NEVER EVER EVER CHANGE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM WITHOUT A COMPLETE BACKUP OF ALL YOUR FILES.

Step 1) Learn your machine. You need to know:

How much RAM you have

If your processor is 32 or 64 bit

How big your hard drive is

On windows, you can find out all of this by going to the start menu, typing "about" and opening the first result on your system instead of the internet.

For additional instructions, visit this page.

Step 2) Pick your Linux.

There's like 10,000 kinds of Linux, each tailored to particular functions that the end-user (that is you!) might want to have. The sheer amount is very daunting, so first I'm going to give my suggestions, then I'll explain how to pick for yourself.

For Mac users, I suggest Kubuntu. For windows users, I suggest Mint Cinnamon. If your laptop is really REALLY old, I recommend Sparky Stable, which is the lightest weight Linux I would ever suggest for a new user. In every case, download the version suited to your processor (32 bit can be labelled "x86" or "32 bit"; 64 bit is always labelled "64 bit").

If you want to try a different type of linux, you'll need to make sure your laptop meets the "minimum specs" or "system requirements." These numbers tell you how much RAM, processor and hard drive space the linux will use. (That's why you needed those numbers at the beginning.)

Step 3) Collect your supplies. You're going to need:

An ISO burning program compatible with your current system, like Balena Etcher.

A copy of the ISO file for the Linux you want to use.

Your laptop.

An 8gb or larger USB flash drive.

Step 3) Make a bootable USB drive

Install Balena Etcher, hitting "okay" and "next" when prompted. Last I checked, Etcher doesn't have adware attached, so you can just hit next every time.

Plug your USB drive into the laptop.

Open Etcher.

Click "flash from file" and open the ISO file with your Linux on it.

Click "Select target" and open the USB drive location. Hit the "flash" button. This will start writing all the linux installer data to your flash drive. Depending on the speed of your machine, this could take as long as 10 minutes, but shouldn't be much longer.

Step 4) Boot to the USB drive

This is, in my opinion, the trickiest step for a lot of people who don't do "computer stuff." Fortunately, in a rare act of good will, Windows 10 made this process a lot easier.

All you'll need to do is go to settings, then recovery, then advanced startup and pick the button labelled "use a device."

This tutorial has images showing where each of those is located. It's considered an "advanced setting" so you may get a spooky popup warning you that you could "harm your system by making changes" but we're not doing anything potentially harmful so you can ignore that if you get it.

Step 5) Try out linux on the flash drive first.

Linux installs using a cool little test version of itself that you can play around in. You won't be able to make changes or save settings, but you can explore a bit and see if the interface is to your liking. If it's hideous or hard to navigate, simply pick a new linux version to download, and repeat the "make a bootable USB" step for it.

Step 6) Actually install that sucker

This step varies from version to version, but the first part should be the same across the board: on the desktop, there should be a shortcut that says something like "install now." Double click it.

Follow the instructions your specific linux version gives you. When in doubt, pick the default, with one exception:

If it asks you to encrypt your drive say no. That's a more advanced feature that can really fuck your shit up down the road if you don't know how to handle it.

At some point you're going to get a scary looking warning that says 1 of 2 things. Either:

Install Linux alongside Windows, or

Format harddrive to delete all data

That first option will let you do what is called "dual booting." From then on, your computer will ask every time you turn it on whether you want Windows or Linux.

The second option will nuke Windows from orbit, leaving only linux behind.

The install process is slower the larger your chosen version is, but I've never seen it take more than half an hour. During that time, most linux versions will have a little slideshow of the features and layout of common settings that you can read or ignore as you prefer.

Step 7) Boot to your sexy new Linux device.

If you're dual booting, use the arrow keys and enter key to select your linux version from the new boot menu, called GRUB.

If you've only got linux, turn the computer on as normal and linux will boot up immediately.

Bonus Step: Copy Pasting some code

In your new start menu, look for an application called "terminal" or "terminal emulator." Open that up, and you will be presented with an intense looking (but actually very harmless) text command area.

Now, open up your web browser (firefox comes pre-installed on most!), and search the phrase "what to do after installing [linux version you picked]"

You're looking for a website called "It's FOSS." Here's a link to their page on Mint. This site has lots and lots of snippets of little text commands you can experiment with to learn how that functionality works!

Or, if you don't want to fuck with the terminal at all (fair enough!) then instead of "terminal" look for something called "software manager."

This is sort of like an app store for linux; you can install all kinds of programs directly from there without needing to go to the website of the program itself!

I tried out two Linux distributions on my test laptop today.

Before I started the task, I updated Linux Mint Cinnamon with the update manager to receive the latest updates for the system and installed apps.

I can also use the terminal to update everything by typing the APT command 'sudo apt-get update'.

'sudo' elevates root (admin) privileges, 'apt-get' receives the packages needed and 'update' checks for updates. I then type 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and press enter to upgrade all the applications and the system.

System up to date!

Firstly, I downloaded Debian from: https://www.debian.org/distrib/

I chose the Debian Live MATE desktop environment.

I then went to download Linux Mint from: https://linuxmint.com/download.php

I chose the Mint MATE Edition desktop environment.

Debian MATE was 3.1 Giga-Bytes and Linux Mint MATE was 2.9 Giga-Bytes to download.

Once they had downloaded, I located them in Downloads and opened the built in USB writer application.

I wrote the ISO files to the sticks to create two bootable USB sticks.

After this step I booted Debian 12 MATE.

I selected 'try' on the boot menu screen.

Here it is in action! I played around with the user interface and tested the sound, which worked brilliantly!

Next, I booted Linux Mint 22.1 MATE.

Again, I selected 'try' to boot up the live environment.

Here it is in action! Again I tested the sound, played a YouTube video in Firefox and customised the panels and themes.

Both MATE desktops in both distros were very interesting and seemed even snappier when compared to the operating systems I have installed on this laptop, which are Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon and Ubuntu 24.04!

I found Debian with the MATE desktop to be the most stable environment however.

How to Calibrate Cricut Explore Air 2? (Full Guide!)

Cricut Explore Air 2 is a worthwhile machine for crafters who want to make pro-level crafting projects. The machine offers precise cuts for more than 100 different types of materials, including Cricut Smart Material, leather, wood, glass, metal, etc. With its easy-to-use interface, the machine allows users to work on DIY projects even if they are novices. Moreover, sometimes crafters may need to perform Cricut Explore Air 2 calibration before a cut.

Calibration is a process that helps set the machine’s blade to cut the design accurately without any flaws. Many users don’t know the procedure and struggle to get the perfect cut. If you have the same problem, then the follow-up blog will provide you with all the information about calibrating your machine.

Cricut Explore Air 2 Calibration on Windows/Mac

If you are using your Cricut Explore Air 2 machine on a computer, then the following is the extensive guide that will help you perform the calibration process.

Step 1: Selecting the Printer

Open the ‘Cricut Design Space app‘, sign in to your account, and then click on the Settings option.

Then, follow the path Machines > Machine Calibration, and select Cricut Explore Air 2.

After selecting your crafting machine, click on the Start option.

Depending on the machine you choose, you will be asked to complete the calibration; select the Print Then Cut option.

In the next step, choose what you like to use with your printer machine for the process.

After that, click on the Continue option.

Step 2: Starting the Calibration Cut

Now, you should place the printed calibration sheet on the mat, position it perfectly, and select the Continue option.

For the next step, ensure that your machine is ON and connected to your computer using USB or Bluetooth. Select the machine from the drop-down menu, insert the cutting mat into your crafting machine, and click Go.

Furthermore, the device will start scanning the markings for the calibration.

After the cutting is complete, check if the cut-makings are touched without unloading the mat from the machine. (If the markings are touched, then choose the Yes option in the app and select Continue to move to the next step.)

Note: If you choose the No option, then the machine will perform a cut for the next time for the accurate cut.

Also, the machine will start the calibration cut at the top and side of the page.

Now, check if the markings are correct without unloading the mat from the device. (The cut should be on or before line 1 and on or before line 21.)

If your cut meets all the conditions, choose the line closest to the center of the printed lines, the same as the following image; when you are done, select the Continue option.

In the next step, the Cricut Explore Air 2 machine will perform a confirmation cut around the large sheet. When this step is complete, unload the mat from the machine and remove the calibration sheet; now, you need to answer the final question on the app.

You need to choose Yes, cut is close enough to the center if you are happy with the cut. (Select no and follow the further process if you are not happy with the cut.)

Cricut Explore Air 2 Calibration On iOS/Android

The follow-up method will allow you to Calibrate your Explore Air 2 machine without any hassle. So, let’s begin the process.

Step 1: Connecting the Printer to Your Machine

Start by signing into your Cricut account on the app and selecting the menu option from the upper right corner.

After that, tap on Settings and then select Print Then Cut Settings.

Also, tap on the Calibration.

Next, you have to choose the Send to Printer, or I have a calibration sheet option.

Now, the preview of the calibration sheet will appear on the screen (it can be a little different depending on the device you are using.)

Afterward, tap “Select a printer” and select the printer device you are using. Then, choose Next.

Step 2: Perform Sheet Calibration Process

After that, take the printed calibration sheet, place it onto the machine mat perfectly, and select Next.

Specify the appropriate material setting for your machine.

Then, after loading the mat into the machine, press the Go button on it.

Also, the machine will look for the marking for the calibration and then start the cutting process near the small square.

Afterward, without unloading the mat from the machine, check for the cut to ensure the cut touches the marked lines all the way around. (If the lines touch the cut, then tap Yes in the app, then select Next to proceed with the next step.)

However, if you select the No option, then the machine will try to cut close to the top and sides of the page. (Once done, look closely without unloading the mat; there should be a cut before line 1 and on or after line 21.)

If the cut meets these lines, you need to specify which cut is closest to the center of the printed lines and the right side of the calibration sheet.

Once you are done, select Next to move forward.

After that, keep following the instructions on the screen to complete the procedure.

Once the process is complete, you can start cutting materials on your machine.

Final Words

Cricut Explore Air 2 calibration is the best way to get the pin-point cuts. These methods will help you to perform the calibration process on computer and smartphone devices. With these methods, you cannot only calibrate your Explore Air 2 but also any other cutting machine of the brand. Furthermore, if you have any doubts regarding the procedure or have any issues, then it would be good to ask for more assistance and guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Is My Cricut Explore 2 Not Cutting Properly?

Cricut Explore machines are known for their flawless and fast-cutting results. Sometimes, it is due to the material you are trying to cut on your device. Also, in some cases, the machine faces technical issues. To get your machine out of this problem and start cutting properly, you can use the calibration procedure. The process to calibrate your machine is simple.

Why Should I Calibrate My Cricut Machine?

However, the cuts can sometimes be misaligned due to various reasons. Crafters can calibrate their devices to get the blades and cuts aligned to their initial position. After the calibration, the machine starts to provide flawless cuts once again. However, the calibration process is a little complex and differs from device to device. So, you must know the whole process before performing it.

What Is the Thickest Setting on Cricut Explore Air 2?

We all know that Cricut cutting machines are known for their fast and flawless cuts, even for intricate designs. Thus, the Cricut Explore machine can cut a wide range of materials of a certain thickness. If you want to cut the wood, metal, leather, etc., then your machine can cut up to 2mm. However, different materials need to use specific blades to get the desired results.

stop me before I scan again!!

So yesterday, it happened again... I was in a thrift and found a Pacific Image Electronics "ImageBox Standalone 9mpx" photo scanner. And it was the color of the day so was half off. :-D

It's a fascinating bit of electronics that does not require a computer because it can save to an SD card, but can be plugged into a USB port for easier access, plus it comes with a stereo-to-RCA cable so it can also be plugged into a television/VHS/DVD/Commodore 64 monitor/etcetera for direct viewing on a larger screen. It didn't come with the manual, that was the only thing missing, but the interface is fairly intuitive about most things. Here's a photo directly down into the unit to show it has two sensors:

Notice in the first photo below the two silver buttons is a slider for choosing between Photo (for the slide and 35mm film templates in the lid, 9mpx and 2400dpi) and Film (paper photos put on the scanner glass, around 4mpx and under 600dpi); that slides the appropriate sensor within into the center of the portal. Also with that slide comes a context-sensitive onscreen menu for setting how many megapixels to use (12mpx is an option so that has to be interpolated), contrast, timing for display and hibernation, original image size for paper photos, and MagicTouch dust removal for slides/negatives, among other tweaks and conditions.

But how well does it work?

Let's start with a paper photograph. As you can see in this side-by-side of the original and the scan I won't be using it for that. The photo is pretty bright as it is, so the default contrast of 0 was too dark and +2 washed it out. As one reviewer said, "it's great for unimportant photos."

Nice thought though. I don't have any 35mm negatives laying around at the moment so let's just work with slides. Here's a test scan, the one where I determined that setting the contrast to -2 looked a lot better because it brought out details the others blew out.

Fairly impressive, and the dimensions are 3232x2144 so there's plenty to work with. I haven't scanned this slide I found the other day with the flatbed so I don't know how 'true' this image is.

Let's back to that MagicTouch dust removal feature, which appears to provide ICE-style infrared cleaning. Here's where I say that for prints and unTouched images it takes five seconds to scan, while with MagicTouch the screen puts up a dialog saying "this may take 45 seconds" and it actually does.

(I selected a commercial tourist slide, never mind the color shift from being 50-60 years old on cheap stock, because it was visibly dusty.)

MagicTouch does the job pretty well, and is a feature I wouldn't have expected on a sensor-based scanner. Looks like I have something for those quick scans that for film produces images considerably better than the F2D Mighty's work for 1/5 of the price. It's not anything I'd be using for scanning most print photos, it's ill-equipped for quality.

So yeah, yet another new toy.

Penguin Woes

It's early summer and if you know me, you know summer's my IT Spring Cleaning season. I usually format all my personal devices once a year and considering my job, that always comes with an associated symptom the veterans call distro-hopping.

Being a Sysadmin of a fairly small company, we've gotten away with getting our agents set up on Linux Mint, seeing as we don't directly interface with dealership CRM tools. However, we do keep Windows systems for most of the front-end stuff, when dealing with our clients, seeing as Joe McCarSalesman isn't very likely to know his sudo from his dir.

On my end, though, once I've accounted for the one laptop that has to remain a Windows rig and for my main machine that I use for multiplayer gaming with Walt and Sarah, all bets are off. When enough of the workforce is off on vacation, I usually take one or two days off to get my pen-testing dummy out of the closet and poke around with a few operating systems. Wanting to test out ChatGPT's advice regarding Fedora Workstation 42 after years of being married to various Ubuntu forks (primarily Mint, because Mint fucking works), I slapped it onto my Ventoy stick, plugged a sacrificial SSD in and unplugged everything else - and got to testing.

First big oopsie from Fedora's boys: a hard crash at the Date and Time selection, with disgruntled users on Reddit specifying that the only way to move past it was to restart the installer and to click on your desired location, as opposed to using a drop-down menu to reliably select a locale.

Second big oopsie: even if you set a second SSD to be a separate mount point for a Steam Library, Fedora 42 refuses to let said SSD be displayed as an option in Steam. Actually hot-plugged drives like USB sticks show up - but separate drives connected to the PC apparently don't, unless you're ready to spend forty-five minutes wrangling the Terminal.

And a point of contention: the absence of any GUI support for officially-supported NVIDIA drivers. You'd think that a platform that's as mature as Fedora's would have figured out that a certain percentage of its user base is going to use hardware that hasn't quite jumped onboard the Open-Source train as much as AMD.

One of my Helpdesk employees scoffed. "Come on, Grem - you use the Terminal all the time! Who cares if you need to bring up RPM Fusion manually!"

To which I replied that from what I've seen, the Linux community tends to mistakenly assume that video servers (Wayland/Xorg) and GUI design matters more than making the core experience comfortable. If updating your GPU isn't a basic aspect of a computer's maintenance, then I don't know what is. This is where Mint scores a substantial point. In a few clicks, a freshly-installed Mint instance can have all its drivers - video drivers included - and be ready for the more granular aspects of the setup process.

As ever, I tend to think that Linux will only ever mature when the Terminal is only as necessary as Windows' Command Prompt can be - which is not much at all.

Basic setup shouldn't involve the Terminal or the Command Prompt - on any level.

Oh - and ChatGPT's advice for the best distros for specific hardware configs is definitely suspect.

Nintendo Switch 2 Unboxing & Hands-On: First Look at the Future of Gaming

Introduction: A New Chapter in Nintendo Gaming

After years of speculation and anticipation, the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here. With a larger display, redesigned Joy-Con controllers, and improved build quality, it marks a significant upgrade over its predecessor. This guide walks you through the full unboxing experience, highlighting key features, design improvements, and everything you need to know if you're planning to get one.

Whether you're upgrading from the original Switch, the Switch Lite, or the OLED model, this new console feels like a leap forward—not just an iteration. From the size of the screen to the sturdiness of the hardware, the Switch 2 gives off a premium, next-generation vibe from the moment you open the box.

Unboxing the Nintendo Switch 2: What’s Inside the Box

Opening the Switch 2 box is the beginning of a new gaming era. Inside, you'll find:

The Nintendo Switch 2 console with a noticeably larger screen

A pair of redesigned Joy-Con controllers

Joy-Con straps (color-matched)

A new, more robust dock

An upgraded power brick

An ultra high-speed HDMI cable

Setup manuals and basic documentation

The first thing you'll notice is the massive screen on the console. Compared to the original Switch, this display is significantly larger and makes a strong first impression right out of the box.

Initial Impressions: Bigger, Smoother, Stronger

Larger Display and Refined Build

The screen isn’t just bigger—it’s better. It's bright, clear, and stretches almost edge to edge, giving you more visual real estate without making the device feel too bulky. The bezel is still there but less noticeable than before, especially when the screen is off.

No Rails, Only Magnets

The Joy-Con now attach magnetically. There are no traditional rails, which gives the system a cleaner design. The magnetic mechanism is surprisingly strong and secure, and detaching them requires using the designated release buttons.

Joy-Con Redesign: Major Improvements All Around

Comfort and Grip

The Joy-Con controllers have been reimagined. They're slightly larger and fit more comfortably in your hands—even for those with smaller grip sizes. The analog sticks feel solid and responsive, while the shoulder and trigger buttons are more tactile.

Better Triggers and Ergonomics

The new triggers give a more satisfying click and feel more responsive during gameplay. Compared to the original Joy-Con or even the OLED version, the Switch 2 controllers feel much more like standard gamepads.

Joy-Con Grip: Optional But Functional

The Joy-Con grip included in the box is larger to accommodate the bigger controllers. While some may prefer a Pro Controller, the bundled grip works well and doesn’t feel like an afterthought.

Kickstand and Port Design: Built for Real-World Use

Stronger Kickstand

The kickstand is now made of metal and offers more resistance. It’s stable enough to hold the console upright without wobbling, making it great for tabletop gaming.

Connectivity and Ports

Dual USB ports on both top and bottom

Enhanced dock with matte outer finish and glossy inner shell

Ultra high-speed HDMI for improved output quality

The dock now feels more like a core part of the system and less like a plastic add-on. It’s larger, sturdier, and visually refined to match the system’s more mature look.

First Boot and Interface: A Familiar But Sharper Experience

Upon powering the console, you're greeted with a crisp setup screen and familiar sounds. The operating system looks similar to the original but feels more refined. You’re walked through basic setup, including Wi-Fi, time zone, and system updates.

Audio and Interface

The console’s speakers have been upgraded to deliver better in-game audio. Menus are smoother, and navigating the interface feels snappier than the original Switch.

Game Compatibility and Performance Expectations

The Switch 2 is backward compatible, supporting physical cartridges and digital titles from the original system. The cartridge slot has a metal locking mechanism, ensuring your games stay securely in place.

Early impressions suggest that games like Cyberpunk 2077 run better on Switch 2 than on older consoles like Xbox Series S. Upcoming titles like Metroid Prime 4 and the next Zelda will fully showcase the console’s enhanced capabilities.

Build Quality: Durable Yet Lightweight

Despite the larger size and added features, the console still feels portable. The weight has increased slightly, which actually contributes to a more premium feel. It doesn’t feel fragile or wobbly like the earlier versions—everything is tightly integrated.

Design and Finish

Matte finish for grip and aesthetics

Glossy interior dock design

Consistent button placement for easy transition from older models

Accessories and Extras: Included and Optional

Besides the essentials, Nintendo also ships:

Matching Joy-Con straps

Bigger power brick for more efficient charging

Optional Pro Controller (sold separately)

The system works seamlessly with the Pro Controller, but even the default setup offers a solid gameplay experience.

Final Thoughts: Worth the Hype? Absolutely

The Nintendo Switch 2 feels like more than just a hardware refresh—it’s a new beginning. Every element has been refined. From the display and Joy-Con to the internal power and build quality, Nintendo has built something that’s ready for the modern gaming landscape.

Whether you're a longtime Nintendo fan or new to the ecosystem, the Switch 2 delivers where it matters: performance, design, and experience.

Conclusion: Nintendo Switch 2 Sets a New Standard

The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t just a sequel—it’s a transformation. With a significantly larger display, improved Joy-Con controllers, and a sturdier build, Nintendo has clearly listened to its audience. Whether you're unboxing it for the first time or upgrading from a previous model, the Switch 2 offers a refined, next-generation experience.

From the metal kickstand to the sleek dock and responsive controls, every component feels premium and purposeful. It’s a true leap forward for handheld and hybrid gaming, blending the best of what made the original great with enhancements that make it truly feel like a 2025-ready console.

If you're a Nintendo fan or a newcomer ready to dive in, the Switch 2 is ready to deliver years of incredible gaming ahead.

Understanding the Chevy Equinox Stereo System The Chevy Equinox comes equipped with an advanced infotainment system that offers a range of audio and connectivity features. This system, depending on the model year, includes either the Chevrolet MyLink or the newer Chevrolet Infotainment System. Both platforms provide touchscreen interfaces, Bluetooth connectivity, and compatibility with smartphone integration technologies like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Equinox stereo systems typically feature AM/FM radio, satellite radio options, USB ports for media playback, and auxiliary inputs for external devices. Models from 2018 and newer offer enhanced functionality with voice recognition capabilities, improved touch responsiveness, and more intuitive menu navigation. Common components of the system include the head unit (main display and controls), speakers distributed throughout the vehicle, amplifiers in premium audio packages, and various connectivity modules for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functionality. The integration between these components creates a comprehensive entertainment experience while driving. Understanding how these elements work together helps when troubleshooting issues or performing system resets. For instance, problems with Bluetooth connectivity might stem from the wireless module rather than the main head unit, while audio quality concerns could relate to speaker performance or amplifier settings. The system’s software architecture allows for periodic updates, which GM sometimes releases to fix bugs or add new features. These updates can be installed by dealerships or, in newer models, through over-the-air updates when connected to Wi-Fi. Common Reasons to Reset Your Chevy Equinox Stereo The Chevy Equinox infotainment system occasionally requires resetting to resolve various performance issues. Understanding the common problems that necessitate a system reset helps owners troubleshoot effectively before seeking professional assistance. Software Glitches and Freezing Issues Software glitches in the MyLink or IntelliLink infotainment system often manifest as frozen screens or unresponsive controls. These technical hiccups typically occur without warning, leaving the system stuck on one screen or completely non-functional. Many Equinox owners experience situations where the touchscreen stops responding to inputs, menu options become inaccessible, or the system displays error messages that won’t clear. Resetting the stereo system clears temporary data conflicts and restores normal operation by restarting all system processes and reloading the core software elements. Bluetooth Connection Problems Bluetooth connectivity issues rank among the most frustrating problems for Chevy Equinox drivers. Common Bluetooth failures include devices that won’t pair, previously connected phones disappearing from the saved devices list, or intermittent audio dropouts during streaming. Some users report their phones connect but won’t transfer audio to the car’s speakers, while others experience situations where calls route through the phone instead of the vehicle’s hands-free system. Performing a system reset refreshes the Bluetooth module’s memory, clears corrupted connection data, and reestablishes the discovery protocol that’s essential for proper device pairing and communication. How to Perform a Soft Reset on Chevy Equinox Stereo Performing a soft reset on your Chevy Equinox stereo system is a quick and effective way to resolve many common issues without losing your settings or data. These simple procedures can be completed in minutes and often restore normal functionality to troubled infotainment systems. Using the Home and Fast Forward Buttons Method MyLink and IntelliLink systems in Chevy Equinox models respond well to this reliable reset technique. Simply press and hold both the Home and Fast Forward buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. Your infotainment screen will go blank momentarily as the system reboots itself. This method works particularly well for resolving frozen screens and general software glitches that affect system performance. Using the Power Cycle Method The power cycle reset is perhaps the most straightforward approach for GM infotainment systems without Google built-in, including many Chevy Equinox models from 2019 to 2023. Turn your vehicle completely off, wait approximately 30 seconds, then restart it. This basic power interruption gives the system a chance to clear temporary memory issues and restart fresh, often fixing minor operational problems. Using the OnStar Call Button Method Older GM infotainment systems (2017-2019) can benefit from this unique reset technique. Press the OnStar call button located on your rearview mirror or overhead console, then immediately hang up. This action triggers a soft reset of the infotainment system without affecting your saved settings. Many drivers find this method surprisingly effective for resolving audio output issues and touchscreen responsiveness problems. Using the Settings Menu Method For a more comprehensive reset option, access the reset function through your system’s settings menu. Navigate to the home screen of your infotainment system, select the Settings option, then choose Return to Factory Settings. Depending on your exact issue, select “Restore Vehicle Settings,” “Clear All Private Data,” or “Restore Radio Settings.” After completing your selected action, restart the system to finalize the reset process. This method provides more targeted answers for exact problems while giving you control over which settings are affected. Performing a Hard Reset on Your Chevy Equinox Stereo System When soft reset methods don’t resolve your Chevy Equinox stereo issues, a hard reset often provides a more thorough solution. Hard resets completely power down the system, clearing persistent software glitches and restoring factory settings. Battery Disconnect Method The most effective hard reset technique involves disconnecting your vehicle’s battery. First, ensure your Equinox is turned off completely and remove the key from the ignition. Open the hood and locate the negative battery terminal (marked with a minus sign). Using the appropriate wrench, loosen the negative terminal clamp and disconnect it from the battery post. Leave the battery disconnected for at least 15 minutes to ensure all residual power drains from the system’s capacitors. Reconnect the negative terminal securely after the waiting period, then start your vehicle. This complete power interruption forces the infotainment system to restart from scratch, often resolving stubborn issues that soft resets couldn’t fix. Factory Reset Method A factory reset returns your stereo to its original settings while clearing all personal data. Navigate to the home screen of your infotainment system and select the “Settings” option. Look for “Return to Factory Settings” or a similar option in the menu. Depending on your exact model year, you’ll see several choices: “Restore Vehicle Settings,” “Clear All Private Data,” or “Restore Radio Settings.” Select the option that best addresses your particular issue. The system will typically ask for confirmation before proceeding. After completing the reset, restart your Equinox to finalize the process. This method effectively removes corrupted user data while preserving the system’s core functionality. Fuse Reset Procedure While there’s no dedicated fuse reset procedure specifically for the stereo system, checking the relevant fuses can resolve certain electrical issues. Locate your vehicle’s fuse box, typically found under the dashboard on the driver’s side or in the engine compartment. Consult your owner’s manual to identify the exact fuse that powers the infotainment system. Using a fuse puller tool, carefully remove the identified fuse and inspect it for signs of damage such as a broken metal strip inside. Replace any damaged fuse with one of identical amperage rating. Even if the fuse appears intact, removing and reinserting it sometimes clears minor electrical faults that affect the stereo system’s performance. After the Reset: Restoring Your Settings After successfully resetting your Chevy Equinox stereo system, several important steps must be taken to restore functionality and personalized settings. Your infotainment system will return to its default state, requiring you to reconfigure various preferences to match your driving experience. Reconnecting Devices Bluetooth connections are automatically cleared during a system reset, requiring you to pair your devices again. Open your phone’s Bluetooth settings and select your Chevy Equinox from the available devices list. Accept any pairing requests that appear on both your phone and the infotainment screen. For optimal performance, ensure your smartphone has the latest operating system installed before attempting to reconnect. Adjusting Settings Your personalized settings need reconfiguration after a system reset. Navigate through the touchscreen menu to restore your preferred audio equalizer settings, display brightness, and menu configurations. Audio presets such as bass, treble, and balance require manual adjustment to match your listening preferences. Display settings including theme colors and home screen layouts can be customized through the settings menu to recreate your ideal interface. Updating Software Software updates enhance system stability and add new features to your Chevy Equinox infotainment system. Check for available updates by handling to the system information section in your settings menu. Models from 2019-2023 may receive over-the-air updates automatically when connected to WiFi, while older systems might require dealer assistance for software installations. Installing the latest software version helps prevent future system crashes and improves compatibility with newer smartphones. Clearing Cache and Private Data Some resets don’t completely clear all stored data. Access additional cleanup options by handling to the settings menu and looking for “Restore Vehicle Settings,” “Clear All Private Data,” or “Restore Radio Settings” depending on your exact system version. Clearing this data removes browsing history, saved locations, and temporary files that might cause performance issues. MyLink and IntelliLink systems typically store these options under the “System” tab in settings. Backing Up Data Creating backups before future resets prevents data loss and simplifies restoration. Many newer Chevrolet infotainment systems allow you to save preferences to your user profile, which links to your key fob or OnStar account. Save important addresses, audio presets, and display configurations to minimize reconfiguration time after future resets. Contact your Chevrolet dealer for exact backup options available for your model year if you’re unsure about your system’s capabilities. Troubleshooting Post-Reset Issues After resetting your Chevy Equinox stereo system, you might encounter several issues that need attention. These post-reset challenges are common and easily manageable with the right approach. Reconnecting Devices Bluetooth devices require re-pairing after a system reset. Open your infotainment system’s Bluetooth menu and set your phone to discoverable mode. Select your device from the available list and confirm the pairing on both devices. Your phone’s contacts and call history will sync automatically once the connection is established. Adjusting Settings Personal preferences need restoration following a reset. Radio presets can be reprogrammed by tuning to your favorite stations and holding down the corresponding preset button. Navigation preferences, sound equalizer settings, and display configurations require manual readjustment through the settings menu. Take a few minutes to customize these settings for an optimal driving experience. Software Updates System performance improves with the latest software versions. Check for available updates through the settings menu or by visiting your Chevrolet dealership. Updates often fix bugs and introduce new features that enhance your infotainment experience. Some newer Equinox models support over-the-air updates that download automatically when connected to Wi-Fi. Clearing Cache Persistent issues often resolve with cache clearing. Navigate to the system settings menu and look for options like “Clear Cache” or “Reset App Preferences.” This process removes temporary files without deleting your personal data. Clearing the cache frequently improves system responsiveness and helps eliminate glitches that survived the initial reset.

Test XGIMI Halo+ New : Que vaut-il vraiment ?

Test du XGIMI Halo+ New : le vidéoprojecteur portable qui voit grand sans se la raconter

XGIMI remet le couvert avec son Halo+ New, une version boostée de son best-seller nomade. À mi-chemin entre la lampe de poche intelligente et le mini-ciné-club de salon, ce projecteur promet tout : de la 4K en entrée, du Netflix officiel (si si !), et du Google TV pour les allergiques aux menus bricolés. Mais au-delà du buzz marketing, que vaut vraiment ce petit bijou à LED ? Spoiler : il a plus d’un pixel dans son sac… mais quelques concessions aussi.

Une technique qui fait (presque) tout bien

Fiche technique digérée (sans tableau, c’est promis) Résolution native : Full HD (1920x1080) Technologie : DLP avec source lumineuse LED (durée de vie estimée : 25 000 heures) Luminosité : 700 ISO Lumens (attention, pas ANSI – on t’explique juste après) Audio : Deux haut-parleurs Harman Kardon 5W – stéréo bien balancée, effet home-cinéma en mini format Système : Google TV avec Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, etc. (Netflix natif ! Oui, on insiste) Correction automatique : Keystone horizontal/vertical + autofocus Autonomie : Batterie intégrée pour 2h30 en usage modéré Connectique : HDMI, USB-A, prise jack, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 Dimensions : 113,5 × 145 × 171,5 mm – tient dans un sac à dos Poids : 1,6 kg – c’est pas une plume, mais pas non plus un haltère Des promesses tenues ? La promesse de XGIMI est simple : un projecteur tout-en-un, facile à utiliser, et assez musclé pour remplacer une télé. Globalement, le contrat est rempli. La qualité d’image est propre, sans latence perceptible, avec des couleurs vives et une netteté satisfaisante même sur une grande diagonale (jusqu’à 200 pouces, selon votre mur et vos rêves). Il ne fait pas de miracle en plein soleil, mais dans une pièce semi-obscure, le rendu est franchement convaincant. Le son mérite une mention spéciale : XGIMI reste fidèle à sa tradition en intégrant des haut-parleurs Harman Kardon qui tiennent la route. C’est suffisamment puissant et clair pour une soirée film sans enceinte externe – un vrai plus pour les nomades.

Et pour les débutants, c’est galère ou bonheur ?

L’expérience utilisateur pour les noobs (on vous voit) Tu n’as jamais utilisé de vidéoprojecteur et tu paniques à l’idée de devoir régler des lentilles ou d’aligner ton image à la main ? Respire. Le Halo+ New est littéralement un projecteur pour les gens qui n’aiment pas se compliquer la vie. Installation ? Tu le poses, tu l’allumes, tu vis. L’autofocus et la correction de trapèze font le boulot en moins de 10 secondes. Interface ? Google TV est claire, fluide, intuitive. Tu navigues comme sur une box Android, avec les apps qu’on connaît déjà. Télécommande ? Minimaliste mais efficace, avec micro intégré pour parler à Google Assistant. (Oui, tu peux dire “mets-moi Le Seigneur des Anneaux sur Netflix”, et ça marche.) Connexion ? Wi-Fi rapide, Bluetooth stable, et même un port HDMI si tu veux brancher ta console ou ton PC. Petit bémol newbie Attention à la luminosité : 700 ISO Lumens, ce n’est pas 700 ANSI Lumens. Dans une pièce baignée de lumière naturelle, le rendu s’affadit rapidement. Pour une bonne expérience, prévois des rideaux. Et si tu rêves de sessions foot à midi sur ta terrasse, change de rêve ou investis dans un modèle plus lumineux.

Nomade, oui, mais avec modération

Le Halo+ New est portable… mais pas ultra-light. Son gabarit est contenu, mais son poids d’1,6 kg et sa batterie interne l’orientent plus vers une mobilité domestique (passer de la chambre au salon) qu’un road trip dans les Alpes. Batterie : l’ami des séries, pas des marathons En conditions optimales (mode éco, luminosité modérée), tu obtiens environ 2h30 d’autonomie, ce qui suffit pour un film standard. Mais si tu veux pousser la luminosité ou activer les apps gourmandes, l’autonomie fond comme une glace au soleil. Prévoyez donc une rallonge pour les longues soirées.

XGIMI Halo+ New Le verdict – un coup de cœur raisonné ?

Ce qu’on adore ❤️ Netflix enfin intégré et certifié – on ne le dira jamais assez Une image ultra propre pour du Full HD Le son intégré de qualité, pas besoin d’enceinte Facilité d’usage extrême – plug, play, enjoy Un OS Google TV fluide, complet, personnalisable Ce qui fait grincer des dents 😬 Luminosité perfectible en conditions lumineuses Pas de zoom optique : le placement est crucial Pas 4K natif (mais upscaling convaincant pour du contenu HD) Autonomie limite pour les gourmands Le XGIMI Halo+ New est une réussite dans la catégorie des vidéoprojecteurs portables premium. Avec sa compatibilité Netflix native, sa technologie LED durable, un son signé Harman Kardon, et Google TV intégré, il coche presque toutes les cases pour une expérience home cinéma fluide, moderne et sans prise de tête. Idéal pour les utilisateurs en quête de confort visuel sans sacrifier la mobilité, il reste toutefois un peu limité par sa luminosité modérée et sa résolution Full HD qui n’impressionnera pas les puristes de la 4K native. 👉 En résumé : le Halo+ New, c’est un vrai bon plan pour les amateurs de cinéma nomade et les familles modernes, à condition de ne pas le surestimer.

Moog Strikes Back with Messenger Synthesizer to Compete with Budget Clones

Source: rekkerd.org

Moog, the legendary name in analog synthesis, has unveiled its newest creation—the Moog Messenger, a compact monophonic analog synthesizer aimed at both honoring its rich heritage and pushing into a new era. This new model is designed to counter the rise of affordable clone synths that have flooded the market in recent years, offering users a genuine Moog experience at a more accessible price point.

The Messenger combines decades of analog expertise into a portable three-octave unit with 32 semi-weighted keys and a control-laden interface that invites real-time sonic exploration. With a focus on authentic analog sound design, the Messenger boasts a new array of filters and oscillators alongside classic circuitry, staying true to Moog’s iconic warmth and gritty texture.

Despite no longer being an all-American manufacturer—following its acquisition by inMusic and the shift of production facilities overseas—Moog aims to retain its soul with the Messenger, balancing heritage with innovation. Joe Richardson, President of Moog Music, described the instrument as “crafted for musicians and producers seeking a portable, powerful monosynth that delivers the iconic Moog sound.”

Built for Performance and Creativity

The Moog Messenger isn’t just about sound quality—it’s about hands-on performance. Unlike many modern synthesizers that rely on screens and complex menus, this new Moog model embraces simplicity. Each function has a dedicated knob or switch, allowing users to dive straight into sound sculpting without getting lost in submenus.

The synthesizer also comes loaded with 256 onboard presets, a 64-step sequencer, and a built-in arpeggiator with various patterns, giving users the tools to craft rhythmic and melodic patterns on the fly. The connectivity suite is equally impressive, featuring MIDI (both 5-pin and USB-C), control voltage (CV) inputs and outputs, and clock sync for integration with other gear.

Erik Norlander, Director of Keyboard Product Development at inMusic, noted that the Moog Messenger was designed to invite exploration. “Our goal was to create a synthesizer that welcomes first-time Moog players and offers the depth and expressiveness that experienced musicians expect,” he explained.

Balancing Legacy with Accessibility

Moog’s decision to move production to Asia has sparked some debate among fans who view the brand’s Asheville, North Carolina roots as integral to its identity. However, the shift is part of a larger strategy to remain competitive in a market saturated with low-cost clone synths. With devices mimicking Moog’s legendary Model D retailing for under $500, the company faced mounting pressure to create a high-quality yet affordable alternative.

The Messenger may prove to be Moog’s answer to this challenge—a genuine analog synth that bridges the gap between legacy craftsmanship and mass-market accessibility. While purists may lament the move from hand-built American instruments, the Messenger could extend Moog’s reach to a new generation of musicians, all without sacrificing the sonic character that made the brand iconic.

As Moog enters this new chapter, the Moog Messenger stands as both a defensive move against imitation and a bold step toward making analog synthesis more widely accessible.
