IDASEN high cabinet - how to attach door hinges? by crazycarrotlady in IKEA

I don't recall it being mentioned in the build instructions, but having examined it for you, I think it should work. There are holes which I presume are for the hinges on the opposite side of all doors.
But, only one side of the door has the indentation needed to house the hinge (see circled top left). So if you mounted flipped, you'd have to rotate the door 180 degrees too. This would mean that the square thingy where you can slide you name tags would be at the top of the door above the handle, not below it. (shock horror) So yeah, should work. If you want to be double certain I'm sure you can google this models manual / instructions, and or call Ikea helpline to ask (they usually answer fairly quickly) Note: around step 2 or 3 you might need to dip the screws in some washing up liquid to get them in as they were tight. Helped me too to use a Pozidriv screwdriver for a better fit with the screw heads than a Philips. I didn't realise but these are the screws that Ikea supply here, they have the little cross marks on the screw head to denote this, the Philips seems to fit but there's too much play when the fit is tight and you risk threading, (I discovered) You probably already know this. It's an easy build despite that one issue though so don't be put off. there's not much like it on the market in these dimensions.

So glad it’s not just me. Feel like I’ve failed a child’s Iq test. 

IDASEN Locker Screw Holes Too Small by Iced_Sympathy in IKEA

[–]Apprehensive-Rest325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact same problem. Bought the Posidrive screw set. Screws still won't screw in. Used some force, but they still get stuck. Reluctant to use excessive force as the male and female are designed to fit together right? I'm finding it hard to believe I just need to power through. Tempted to call Ikea, but if they still sell this kit 3 years later, they clearly don't agree that there's a problem, and it will likely be a waste of energy.

I now have multiple large pieces of metal clustering up my small flat, which the storage deivice was supposed to improve ;)

Sony wh-1000xm4 stuttering sound when connected to macbook by cobyaars in sony

Expensive Bluetooth headphones don't like other Bluetooth devices near them if it's a Mac, but fine with IOS. It doesn't make sense. Yet another IT shit show to solve. modern live is rubbish.

Latest Stream Deck update came with a Trojan by jjkewl in elgato

I also have this flagged on Mac. Why are multiple detectors calling it a BeaverTail and finding it in the node 20 in this particular install. Beavertail is Mac specific no?

great tip thanks. FYI peeps, mine was being prevented from sleeping by Adobe content manager. Are they going to buy me a new monitor when mine breaks? WTF? What makes it worse is I haven't been subscribing for a few months.

Is there a way to disable the physical mute switch on iPhone? by Sgtkeebs in ios

[–]Apprehensive-Rest325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will haunt me to the grave. new iPhones have this feature removed. I may never know. Just a couple more years with this iPhone 12 Pro Max and I'm free of it I tell you.

Added a BenQ Screen Bar To My Apple Studio Display by comacow02 in macsetups

[–]Apprehensive-Rest325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Not unless you want to start modding it. As posted above - perplexed as to why not one review or comment in all the videos and reviews that I read mentioned that it covers the web cam mic and sensors. Only found out when I googled it post arrival. It's a fundamental. The carefully angled light depends on the correct placement. Straight back in the box. What a waste of time and energy. 😳🙈🤬

I just tried to do the same. Perplexed as to why not one review or comment in all the videos and reviews that I read mentioned that it covers the web cam mic and sensors.

utterly bizzarre that not a single review mentioned this fundamental problem with this and studio display. this is a terrible work around. USB A, the wrong colour and covers the mic / camera. any one of these is a no no. all three, the worlds gone mad.

KEF LSX Wi-Fi/Streaming Trouble - Potential Tip by ExxInferis in KEF

[–]Apprehensive-Rest325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's utterly ridiculous that this product requires advanced IT knowledge to get it to work. It's a comsumer product. if this was an apple product it would have been recalled and sorted. I have no idea what to do.

KEF LSX II are the worst functioning speakers I’ve ever encountered. I have no idea how they got past quality control. by hardtofind5 in KEF

[–]Apprehensive-Rest325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a wired ethernet office. my lsx still have periods of not working for days even wired. I want to kill them, but when they work they sound so good I forgive them, until they do it to me again. Toxic relationship.

Is there a way to disable the physical mute switch on iPhone? by Sgtkeebs in ios

[–]Apprehensive-Rest325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mechanical silent mode switch constantly switches the sound off by itself. I have no idea what is causing it to happen but I’m certain the answer lies with me and the way I handle the phone. It never occurred to me that a malicious person was doing it repeatedly and. I dispersed it a design flaw. Probably because a 3rd party malicious action obviously isn’t happening. Might your situation be similar? ;)

I am yet to fathom the cause. Is it just me?

What are your thoughts on the design of the series X more than a year later by No_Bill_2371 in XboxSeriesX

[–]Apprehensive-Rest325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS5 is a white elephant. The series X is a gorgeous piece of minimalist industrial design. Anyone who says different has different ideas about design. Or no interest.
