I've been having issues with my laptop's graphics/video rendering for a while. All colors were super distorted, and even the desktop background was messed up with one part in light blue and another part abruptly cutoff to black:

My screen always felt too bright, even when the brightness slider was already at 7%!

Tried to download and install a new BIOS, but during the installation process something got messed up, so I had to buy a USB stick from the BestBuy and put the BIOS update there.
Finally my video and graphics rendering is working. The background picture from above ^ is fixed, and videos no longer have weird... color "special effects" anymore :)

Fabi Paras. A legend who disappeared for over 20 years. A pioneer of the ibiza club scene starting in the late 80s. As significant to some as Sasha.

Im going to a talk and dj set with him next Friday in the town i grew up in in my friends club. Another friend DJ General Lee is supporting him.
Its gonna be fascinating.

My laptop has the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, driver version 30.0.13002.13003, dated Dec 15th, 2021. There's another display adapter, AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics, driver version 30.0.13002.13003, dated Dec 15th, 2021 in the list as well.

The problem is when I update to Windows 11 Version 22H2. That makes the colors look washed out and waaay too bright.

Progrez has officially downloaded ableton live and native instrument trial versions

Watch this space - I am going to see if I can do some mixes I cannot guarantee anything or mashups if I think they are terrible I won't share them here.
Go for it my man 👍 looking forward to it, and don’t be to hard on yourself, enjoy the experience first ;)

Gonna be quitting coffee (again) tomorrow. I've been on and off for years now, and I've started drinking it at the end of April.

The taste and feeling are really special, so that, along with the laxative effects, is gonna be pretty hard to say goodbye to.

But then again, it adds an hour or so to my morning, from making it to making mud. It's not the time that bothers me the most though - it's these necessary steps which delay everything. Plus, I think my sleep quality and energy levels have taken quite a regression.

Anyhow, while I'm writing this I'm finishing up my last cup. Welcome back, green tea!

A little track of mine being played in a club in my mates warm up session. Mixmag and Telagraph newspaper journalist Thomas H Green appears here in the video in his famous hat. It was a night with fabi paras set and interview live. My mate was getting ready to play it in his set but I haven’t checked if he pkayed it as was talking to fabi, his friends and some other lovely folk outside for much of my mates set 🫶
