There is a dilemma for web developers with images loaded from CDNs or APIs. Regular <img> tags can't set an Authorization header with a token for the request, like you can do with fetch() for API requests. The only possibility is adding a token to the URL or by using cookie authentication.
Cookie auth only works if the CDN is on the same domain, even a subdomain can be problematic in many cases.
well the created_at/updated_at (these arnt the names of the colums, but still) are from when my macbook synced and not when the actual contact was created. useful, but not what i needed.
Go with original replacement sliders from good mixer boards. They will usually be much much better and easier to select than any out of electronic vendor ones. They are really costly but the difference in behavior, feeling and reliability is worth the cost if you need precision.
I've had good success with Numark salvaged ones, but I'm sure there is better.
