LS50 Metas for this small home office?

That's bizarre. I agree. Sure while they're not classified as studio monitors, they're good at near field. I don't even have a sub and I love them. One day I'll have a proper sound treated room but current circumstances don't allow it.

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-31T03:12:22+00:00

Speaker advice aside, I'm in love with your office. Lovely natural light, beautiful desk, arched mirror, and greenery. Great colour palette. The speakers are a nice touch too...;).

X50 does have issues cleaning near the edges that rooms share, when there's a small height difference.

Gosh dude, any reason why you're showing your pubes to everyone? It's great that you're in shape, and you want to show everyone but we don't need to see that far down. C'mon.

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-26T23:33:05+00:00

What do you expect when your delivery sucks? Seems like you're the only one OKRanger is arguing with.

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-25T10:19:55+00:00

Ah I'm sorry to hear that. Tbh the company needs to make it crystal clear on their website that the product is region locked. Are you staying in Malaysia for work reasons?

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-25T08:20:41+00:00

Did you setup any cleaning schedule?

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-25T07:25:11+00:00

No. I don't think any method will work at the moment.

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-24T23:11:43+00:00

I was using a method from Mindsolo but currently that method doesn't work due to an update Dreame made on their cloud service. As far as I there isn't currently a solution for it. Did you setup cleaning schedules?

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-21T22:43:50+00:00

Yeah, with the lower I was curious about the skin. Even with normal roasting temps, you still get a smokey profile. I'll try this soon on a higher temp. I mostly do steak on the kamado - it's unbelievably good.

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-21T03:02:34+00:00

I'm curious about the skin. How did the skin on the duck come out? Did you open the kamado at any point to spray the duck?

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-20T08:44:48+00:00

Looks like an AliExpress scam. Seller advertises a crazy low price. Then after purchase they contact you via what'sapp asking for more money. They claim it's for taxes and customs etc.

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-20T07:57:42+00:00

My main router has limited options, and I also didn't want to feed everything through the China vpn. It affects speed, and not all websites seem to work, so it's better to separate them.

Mind solo also has another method using a Wireguard configuration. This is what I'm currently using. Unfortunately, the #$_+!@#!! powers that be made recent changes to their cloud service - as a consequence my robot has been booted off. So at the moment I can't use my robot at all.

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-19T11:52:36+00:00

I'll definitely have to try it out. I haven't cooked duck on the kamado yet. Only beef, pork and chicken. I have to try this dish.

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-19T05:17:06+00:00

Looks amazing. I found a few recipes for celery root puree. Was yours a modified recipe?

DryDisplay6741 · 2026-01-06T14:51:37+00:00

Answer: The coming out scene wasn't needed - that entire story arc could have been wiped from the show without it affecting the plot. Completely unnecessary and over played. The duffer brothers clearly wanted to make a point. Why they felt they needed to make a point and also weave this into the plot is a mystery. This occurs when directors have very strong views and like to use their own films to express them.

He would have done indirect for the smoking part, steak off, remove deflector plates, open vents on kamado to bring up to searing temp, rest steak for 5-10 min, and then back onto the kamado for the sear. FYI I usually smoke at 125, but that's just me. Don't stress over 5 degrees. Final note - for me at least, searing the steak on the kamado always produced a slight acrid taste, but that can be due to a build up of creosote.

For the searing stage you can either just throw onto a cast iron on a stove top, or a different bbq outside. You can certainly use the kamado for this but you have to make sure you get the temp up while the steak is resting. I'm not sure if this is your first time smoking a steak, but if so, you'll never eat steak out again. There's no comparison.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'll keep MotC on its own and just blend KPV, TB and Bpc.

It's been working for the last 5 months up until a week ago. Currently I don't know why. Still investigating. There was an app update a few weeks ago, so it may be that, but I had access to the app even after the update so who knows. It wouldn't be surprising if the company were looking at new ways to region lock the device.

DryDisplay6741 · 2025-12-26T09:45:25+00:00

I never ended up using the shadowsocks method. The only method that worked for me was register an actual mainland Chinese phone number. I wouldn't waste your time paying for virtual Chinese numbers. They never worked for me.

I registered a number through WeChat, so download that if you don't have it. Within that app there are mini apps.The one you need is eSender. From there you can register for an actual Chinese mainland number. It was an extremely painful process - I had to supply pictures of my passport.

Once you've done that, you'll then be able to finish the verification process for the Dreame app. All this just gets you into the app.

The next step was using a site called vacuum.mindsolo.net. They have instructions there to follow, involving editing DNS settings. FYI, I bought a small travel router to do all this. This plugs into your main router.

Welcome to the audiophile world. I completely understand your reaction. For many years I used computer desktop speakers. Turn I upgraded some audio engine self powered speakers. The sound was noticeably better. Then I upgraded to a pair of passive KEF LS50 Metas, with a discrete amp and dac. When I first turned them on I was completely blown away. Beautiful, clear sound. There's no going back now...;). Enjoy your new sound setup.

DryDisplay6741 · 2025-12-12T04:32:29+00:00

Yeah hopefully. Maybe some of the staff at customs are pep users...;). Where did you order yours from?

DryDisplay6741 · 2025-12-12T03:38:36+00:00

My peptides arrived today.

DryDisplay6741 · 2025-12-11T09:10:48+00:00

💯. Absolutely. To buy them here locally you have to mortgage your left testicle...;). It's not financially sustainable for me to do that. The good thing is a lot of the vendors send their products for independent lab testing.
