While Klein was aware of West’s volatility, “I was always a fan of his music,” he said. He also asked me to teach him how to code.” He asked me if he could put his album on our speaker device. “I brought a set of our tech to his house, which he loved. At the CES trade show in Las Vegas, West “told me he wanted ‘that dope clear tablet joint’,” Klein said, referring to a demo of one of Kano’s computers. In 2019, West reached out to Kano, smitten with the company’s tactile approach to computing. “You can build off of them, like Legos.” Artists on Stem’s platform would own their music rights, charge what they wanted and keep all the profit on the content. “Our physical products are more human,” Klein said. The soft-coated speaker breaks tracks into components (vocals, drums, bass and arrangements) and users can remix them by hand. In 2019, they had big hopes for the new Stem Player to change how artists and fans physically interacted with music. Kano has now sold more than 1.5 million units of its various products and has over 100 employees. Others feel compelled to speak out.Ī soft-spoken, meticulous engineer with an indie-rocker uniform of black glasses and plaid button-downs, Klein founded his company eight years ago with a home-build laptop kit and software. Some pastors and members of the Christian community have been hesitant to publicly admonish him. Music Everyone is cutting ties with Kanye West. West and Kano also face licensing lawsuits over West’s samples on “Donda 2.” It’s left his promising tech company with a flagship product whose most famous user has disgraced himself, insulted Klein (who is half-Jewish) and tried to take control of his firm. Klein was one of the last collaborators to team up with West before his spiral. His record deal with longtime label Def Jam concluded talent agency CAA dropped him and fashion partners including Adidas, the Gap and Balenciaga cut ties or let deals expire, potentially costing him billions. It first looked like a coup for Klein’s company - a futuristic iPod/DJ booth/sculpture, packaged with an album from a music and fashion titan.Įight months later, West descended into a tear of antisemitic, conspiratorial and far-right tirades that has evaporated his career. Kanye West, the artist who now performs as Ye, released his latest album, “Donda 2,” exclusively on the Stem Player in February. ![]() One particular fan of Kano’s Stem Player, however, has vexed Klein. This year, his company, Kano, launched a sand-dollar-shaped digital music player that he hoped would become both a transformational new way to listen to music and a distribution platform.

![]() I got the aluminum from an Aircraft supply comp. It was a rather large pain in the butt sourcing and ordering all the materials and when it was all said and done I may have come out $150 cheaper than a new set, not counting my time(which I had much more of then).Not worth it. I made my first set and they were engineered exactly like "Cat Trax" made hubs and bearing races. If anyone has any actual input about the original post topic - sourcing parts to build a set of wheels - that would be most helpful. Throwing a fist full of cash at the problem is a simple and obvious solution, but unfortunately one that isn't available to me right now. All we're talking about is a pair of wheels, an axle, and a basic hub/bearing assembly. I know they work well, but I also know that it didn't take a rocket engineer to design them. My folks have a pair that they've used for close to 20 years. You guys mean to tell me that no one has successfully made a decent pair of beachwheels on their own using ATV tires or something similar? Of couse I could buy a set of Cat trax. I threw tubes in close to three years ago, and I don't think I've added air since then. You aren't putting any load on them, and the chance of the tube pinching itself and leaking is pretty low. The tire is a 21x12x8, I think both of mine have a 22x12x8 tube in them. Cat-trax have a strange tire size, and its tough to get a tube that is the right size. I think I broke the bead on mine with my foot. ![]() You don't even have to pull the tire off, just break the bead on both sides, get the tube in. ![]() Put a tube in, the tires are soft as hell, and easy to get off of a rim, or go somewhere and pay them $4 to put the tube in. And I really don't care if it worked for you, you're an anomaly. I've changed a lot of tires, that sh!t is straight up nasty to deal with, and it doesn't really work that well in the first place. If you have tubeless beach wheels that are leaking or you can't get the tire to seal to the wheel, try adding a sealant made for tubeless mountain bike tires. In cases like this SLIME makes some heavy SLIME filled tubes that will sometimes work. There are some cases such as a damaged rim and tire bead where nothing short of a tube will work and the damage keeps poking a hole in the tube so you have nothing to lose. This has extended the life of my original Rolleeze by 5 years. Trying this will cost you $10-25 depending on product and wheel size but if it works you can get a couple of extra years of life out of a set of wheels. I don't use Slime especially on beach wheels because it has ammonia in it and can corrode aluminum wheels. Right now my preferred sealant for big tires is Caffélatex. Other issue will require that up refill the tires with sealant once or twice a year as the sealant dries up or is used up. Some problems like hard to seal to the rim can be fixed with one application. This has worked for me on various beach and lawnmower tires. As to solving the alternative problem, PVC pipes work pretty well as surfaces to slide the boat on and are very inexpensive compared with wheels. The other solution is to lock them up, which I might do on a weekend. So I am relegated to carrying them back and forth, or moving them on the trailer, all of which is a huge pain I'd rather not deal with. I doubt these new wheels will be spending time overnight on my beach. I've also had a set of beach wheels stolen or trashed at a different location (not a beach or waterfront for that matter). In general, I'm not worried about stuff getting stolen, but it has happened, and given the current economy is more likely than in prevalent times. My boats live on the beach during the summer, which is a 5 minute walk from my house. Your problem however is one that I sympathize with. Other beach wheels don't roll easily on soft sand, weigh more, and are easier to puncture. I just forked over my >$500 for a new set of Cat Trax, simply because they are the only wheels I've used that work well each and every time, no matter the surface. Never quite got to building my own wheels, mostly because you can't find suitable tires for less than $130 each. I've been down this road a number of times. ![]() ![]() If you are not able to make it in only 3 hours, you can cook on low or warm (depending on how hot your crockpot gets on those settings) and cook for double the time. Add to the chicken and cook in the slow cooker. Add brown sugar, garlic cloves, rice wine vinegar, sesame oils, ginger, crushed red pepper, and rice wine vinegar. Although I love the fried version much more, my waistline doesn’t think I need it all of the time. Mix together hoisin sauce and soy sauce in a small bowl. Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning from time to time to brown evenly. If you have more than fits in one layer, save half for a second batch. Add the chicken pieces to the pan, shaking off excess cornstarch as you go. Add the oil and wait 30-60 seconds until its very hot. This isn’t meant to be an exact copy of General Tso’s chicken but it is really good. Place a large skillet or wok on medium-high heat. You can always taste it when it’s close to being done and add more if you think everyone can handle it. If you do not like spice, I would not put more than a teeny pinch in the whole recipe. This batch was delicious but I made it way too SPICY! Like so spicy that my husband couldn’t even eat it… oops! It’s highly recommended to go sparingly with the red pepper flakes or just leave them out altogether. It’s even better when you can throw it all in a slow cooker/crockpot to cook and you don’t have to worry about it until it’s almost time to serve. Place the chicken inside your slow cooker. Spread the meatballs evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put the chicken into the bottom of your crockpot and then add the garlic, brown sugar, ginger, soy sauce, and red. Just marinate chicken pieces with eggs or sauce and then coat with cornstarch, you can follow the steps in this recipe. To make it extra-crispy, deep frying is the best approach. Use your hands or a cookie dough scoop to roll the mixture into balls. Slow Cooker General Tso’s Chicken is less crispy than what you’ll find at your favorite restaurant. ![]() Sometimes it’s nice to save some money and make your favorite Chinese dishes at home. Add all meatball ingredients (except the general tso sauce) in a large mixing bowl. We love ordering Chinese, especially General Tso’s Chicken. This healthier version uses chicken that isn’t breaded or fried. Chicken could also take longer to cook, closer to 4 hours.Jump to Recipe Print Recipe General Tso’s Chicken is a spicy, sweet chicken dish that is served over rice. Add half the chicken to skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned. ![]() Heat 2 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sauté the chicken until lightly golden in color on both sides, which is just about 1 minute on each side. Add chicken cubes with granulated sugar, salt and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then coat in the flour mixture. Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees F. Mix together the flour and corn starch and place in a shallow bowl or on a plate. Add the chicken back to the crockpot and cook for an additional 15 minutes until the sauce thickens up. Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Place the eggs in a bowl add salt and pepper to taste. If you are cooking the chicken without browning in the skillet first, when chicken is finished cooking, remove the chicken and add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the sauce. Cook for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked thru and the sauce is thick. Stir the chicken until coated with the sauce. Serve over rice and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes, if desired. In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, pinch of red pepper flakes and sriracha. Pour on top of chicken in the slow cooker.Ĭook on Low heat for 3 to 4 hours or until chicken is cooked throughout. In a small mixing bowl whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and crushed red pepper. In a medium sized skillet over medium high heat add oil and cook the chicken until the chicken is lightly brown but not cooked throughout. For the sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding more oil if needed. Add half of the chicken and cook until crisp and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Toss until the chicken is completely coated in the cornstarch. Preparation: Instructions for Slow Cooker General Tso Chicken Place chicken and dried Thai chilies in a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over medium-high heat. In a mixing bowl add the chicken and cornstarch. ![]() You didn’t just tell me that there’s something called true love, you showed and showered me with real and true love.

But it’s also a VERY grainy film that just won’t compress much).Convert DVD to H265 HEVC with Handbrake without having to know or understand all of the settings. Films with lots of detail and/or grain can be huge (Black Hawk Down is around 17GB even Handbraked – about 70% of the original. Some films compress much better than others. But remember, this size is just a ballpark average. Typically I factor around 7GB for a blu-ray encoded film (at 20) – I can reduce this to 5GB if I go to 22. But I’m probably one of the few people who have a 9’ HD TV, so it may be overkill for just about anyone else. I’m one of the few who advocates 20 only because I have seen a difference – but again, only a very slight difference, and not with all materials. Most folks on the Handbrake forum recommend 22 for blu-ray material (and some even higher). For many blu-rays I actually do lower the quality (raise the RF) to 22 because it doesn’t really matter (comedies, for example – I’d never see any difference with them even on the big screen). At 22 I could see *slight* differences when the material was digital (i.e. I did A/B tests on my 9’ HD screen and could literally not tell the difference between the original blu-ray disc (playing on my PS3) versus a Handbrake encoded original (at 20). Some folks early on thought they’d be “smart” and lower the RF down to 17 or less – and ended up with files that were LARGER than the original. Blu-ray is actually a VERY inefficient format, so it compresses much better than even DVD (which itself is an inefficient format) when encoded to H264. You aren’t just trying to compress to a smaller size, you’re trying to achieve the same quality as the original. The file size increase is around 20% for each two steps (22 to 20, for example).īut file size isn’t the only issue. (Subtitles are a whole different aspect but we can cover them as well as when a blu-ray is more than just the one M2TS file in another post). I would not change ANYTHING else – leave things alone. And there are *some* movies that do need them on (Apollo 13 immediately comes to mind). ![]() It won’t hurt to turn them off, but if you ever do any television work (for example, the blu-ray of Star-Trek the Original Series, or Band of Brothers) you will need them on. You can leave Decome/Detelecine at default – they won’t do anything if they aren’t needed and only add a TINY amount of time (a few minutes at most) to the encoding process. I like using 20 for both because it’s one less thing I need to worry about. RF 19 (no lower) is all right for DVD material (not blu-ray) but even then 20 is probably as much as anyone will ever need. ![]() But for most people even 22 is just fine (and will be around 20% smaller). Most folks use 22, but I like 20 because I have a 9’ HD projection unit and can indeed see a slight difference. I would NOT change the RF rate to be any lower than 20 for blu-ray material. For encoding blu-ray materials, just use the High Profile preset but change the output type to MKV and (if you have DTS and AC3 decoding receiver(s)) pass through the DTS or AC3 track. |
