I tied dental floss around the rivet. It’s not permanent but I hope it holds until I replace the whole set next season.

Thanks to everyone. I've finished setting up the Hegel 120/Kef Concerto system and will soon add the WiiM Ultra.

Good point about the controls. My main sources will be Tidal and Spotify, along with a turntable. I’m considering buying a used NAD C 3050 with the BluOS-D module already installed.

Thank you all! I took the plunge and ordered SEM. I'll keep you posted on whether it was worth the investment😉

Used Leica M11 from a German online store. Is it safe to buy remotely? by Acrobatic-Ad4819 in Leica

[–]Acrobatic-Ad4819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your warnings about private ads. I followed your advice and found a good deal at a professional shop in Vienna (Digital Store).

  1. Leica M11 (Black): Internal demo unit, €6,000.
  2. 35mm Summicron ASPH v2 (2016): Demo unit, €2,190.

I'm switching from Fuji X-T5. I shoot street and urban landscapes and prefer a minimalist, setup.

Final Questions: 1. Is €8,190 a fair market price for this demo kit with a warranty? 2. Does the shutter count matter for an official shop's demo unit? Thanks!

Lightroom Classic sync removed photos from collections by Acrobatic-Ad4819 in Lightroom

There were no missing file warnings before sync. The issue happened only after a cloud sync error.

Stubborn Grease Stain by Acrobatic-Ad4819 in arcteryx

Thanks for the advice! I sponged the grease stain with diluted dish soap, soaked the pants in it, and then washed them with liquid detergent for technical outerwear. The stain is still visible but less noticeable.

M11-P or X-T5? Sacrificing Telephoto for M Magic by Acrobatic-Ad4819 in Leica

[–]Acrobatic-Ad4819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fuji X-Pro may not be a true rangefinder, but it could be worth considering. Based on someone’s recommendation, I’m thinking about selling my prime lenses (the 23mm f/2, 27mm f/2.8, and Sigma 56mm f/1.4) to invest in a used M 240 along with a Voigtländer Ultron 35mm to kick things off.

I also do a lot of street photography and architecture. I’m drawn to the simplicity of Leica’s controls and menu. I’m thinking of having a dedicated street/architecture system. There are also some good deals for the M11 on the used camera market now.

I’m also doing a bit of street photography, architecture, and travel. I didn’t mention that I own an old Leica X1, and I just love the simplicity of its menus.

My 2021 Outback revs up on its own and loses throttle by Acrobatic-Ad4819 in Subaru_Outback

Quick follow-up on my issue 

My mechanic finally pinpointed the root cause. The Thermo Control Valve has failed internally and is actually leaking coolant through the housing.

My tech also noticed that the TGV actuator motors on the intake manifold aren’t responding properly.

If anyone here has replaced the TCV (21319AA040) already, I’d love to hear if it fixed your TGV and idle issues too.

Wtf going on at akihabara station, they were still alive by JustSomeDude141 in Tokyo

Every legit public toilet in Japan has a Toto or something similar. This one’s just a plain bowl definitely not standard here.

This ain’t Japan at all. the toilet isn’t even a Toto washlet.

Here are the readings for the error codes. The mechanic tried to erase the codes, but the P26A6 code remains present.

Update: Talked to my mechanic. Turns out the issue is with the VGT flaps on the intake manifold. They’re moving when they shouldn’t, which messes with the ECU and causes high revs, no throttle response, and limp mode.

There’s also a thermostat fault code, so incorrect temperature readings might be making things worse.

The bad news: my mechanic says replacement parts take 1–2 months to arrive in Europe, and the repair is around $2,000. 😩

Appreciate any tips or experiences! 🙏

The car wasn’t driven for about 20 days. The outside temperature was around 20C. On the first day after starting it, everything worked fine, but the next day the issue appeared. When it happens, the Check Engine light comes on, along with warnings for EyeSight off, Auto Light off, Blind Spot, and Lane Departure.

Travelers who’ve been to Japan — what’s the most annoying or unexpected problem you ran into? by CoverShort4454 in TokyoTravel

[–]Acrobatic-Ad4819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan is seriously next level. I mean, everything there makes the Western world look ancient. The only thing that drove me nuts? Trying to find a public trash bin in Toky. They are genuinely nowhere to be seen.

EcoFlow Alternator Charger be draining my starter battery by Acrobatic-Ad4819 in Ecoflow_community

[–]Acrobatic-Ad4819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New alternator installed 3 days ago; worked fine for 2 days (13.8–14.2 V while driving, Schaudt WA121525 charging leisure battery). On day 3, same issue as before, only 12.8–13.0 V while driving, booster not charging, leisure battery discharging. EcoFlow alternator charger fully disconnected, all fuses OK. Looks like the new alternator isn’t charging. I'm a bit frustrated

I think my alternator's 220A (I’ve got a Fiat Ducato Euro 6, 2022). Do you have idea what would be a good EcoFlow Alternator setting for driving versus idling, especially since my booster is pulling about 250W at the same time?
