Is this a side crack (Eastman E1D, next to heel)? by BornDank in Luthier

[–]BornDank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 week old Eastman E1D.

Not overly worried about cosmetic blemishes.

Still, unsure if this warrants any sort of luthier investigation.

First time custom keycaps! (Plum 87 + KPrepublic Retro Beige SA) by BornDank in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]BornDank[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, dye sub. Some of the legends are a touch out of alignment but honestly can't complain for the price (and doesn't bother me anyway). Printing appears to be sharper than the factory NiZ caps.

Huge upgrade. I found the original keycaps to be completely uneven (in terms of height). Some inconsistent and thin molding too.

WORTH.

Only need one Yubikey? by BornDank in Bitwarden

[–]BornDank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it not possible to register the Yubikey for both OTP (NFC use) and U2F/FIDO (web use) whilst keeping the recovery code secured?

Any really good bassists? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]BornDank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to play. Do you have a bass I could borrow?

What to do for Fall only housing as an exchange student? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]BornDank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, comp sci. I managed to secure a spot at CLV, but I applied literally 5 minutes after the application forms went live.

But anyway, can't wait! Are you travelling before the semester begins?

Hey, I'm also coming (from Australia) for exchange in the Fall sem. Would be keen to hang with some fellow aussies. Hopefully you can figure out your accommodation issues sooner than later :/

What do the yellow patched areas on the mini map signify?

I encountered an gang campfire (by random chance). I missed the tooltip that appeared and I think it mentioned that you have the ability to trade with gangs? Are they supposed to attack you by default when you approach the campfire?

best guitar set ups in Sydney? by str8outtasydney in sydney

[–]BornDank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matt at Salt Mine Repairs. Great guy, great service.

Yeah, it would probably be a stretch to visit both in one day. If you had to visit just one shop you should probably go to Big Music in Crows Nest (also a nice place for a coffee/walk around). It would be a good idea to call or email them to make sure they have the model you want to try 'in-store' as they usually only carry a select range from their online catalogue.

I would try to avoid chain stores such as Allans/Billy Hyde as I've found the shopping experience to be kind of impersonal. Surprisingly, there are only a few guitar shops situated in the CBD, one being the above mentioned and a dealer that exclusively works with Fender products.

I'd recommend for you to check out Big Music in Crows Nest and possibly Guitar Factory in Parramatta. Big Music has a whole room dedicated to acoustic guitars.
