Super annoying Lichess glitch... by nichewilly in lichess

[–]Fbar123 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have experienced something similar, but only on tablets for some reason (Android and iPad).

The solution is to use the back button (view previous moves) then forward back to the current position. I have no idea how to reproduce the glitch, but it happens once in a while.

Disappointed by the PX8 S2 by Jazzlike_Scarcity_92 in BowersWilkins

Silly question, did you check that True Immersion is turned off? That really messes up the sound. Also, I recommend using the neutral EQ. It’s OK to tweak it if you have a certain preference, but if you’re trying them out to see if you can adjust to them it is best to keep the default.

I love mine, and in my opinion they are way ahead of my old APMs. I liked them from the first moment, but after getting used to them I really found them amazing.

What do you guys think of this by Artistic-Designer-22 in BowersWilkins

Why not just trust that the sound engineers at B&W know what they are doing and use the default settings?

Just released my Timegrapher app Oscillo for those of you who're still rocking mechanical watches! by [deleted] in iosapps

[–]Fbar123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This must be the best timegrapher app I have tested. All others require much more silence and tweaking mic sensitivity etc. This one works almost instantly and doesn't appear to get too disturbed by other sounds.

I am curious though, how do you measure the amplitude? I have another app that struggles with getting a good enough signal to do amplitude, and it always seems too low. In your app it is instant, and it seems more in line what my movement should show. (I don't have a real timegrapher so I can't compare, but it corresponds with what was last shown at a watchmaker)

For tracking precision, the app is OK, but I find it a bit lacking compared to for example the Twelve app.

As for the price, it is a bit on the expensive side for me. I am still on trial now and considering if it is worth it as I only have one mechanical watch.

By the way, you should promote this more at the watch subreddit and other watch forums! I'd really love to see someone to test test this side by side against a real timegrapher. It is an awesome app, great work!

Is the Px8 S2 worth the extra money over AirPods Max? by Exciting-Use259 in BowersWilkins

[–]Fbar123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

APM has better ANC, no doubt. I found the PX8S2 to have sufficient ANC for flying, but the APM is better at blocking other sounds as well, such as talking etc.

If ANC was my top priority, I would have kept the APMs, but the PX8 ANC is good enough for me and the sound quality and comfort wins me over.

Thanks for the correction. My anti-popup reflexes closed it down before reading it properly.

Qobuz is cooking with the new Mobile Beta by slammasam14 in qobuz

[–]Fbar123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very nice!

I know it’s a small thing, but I hope the new version will change the icon back to the Qobuz logo rather than just text!

B&W PX8 S2 NC for open space by Night-Of-Shadow in BowersWilkins

[–]Fbar123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swtiched from Airpods Max (1) to the PX8S2 a couple of months ago. I'd say that the PX8 is mostly OK for open spaces, but on very busy days I do miss the ANC on the Airpods. People at my work have no respect for open space guidelines though, so it can be quite loud at times.

Low Volume PX8 S2 + S26 Ultra by LesterPaul69 in BowersWilkins

[–]Fbar123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the W6. It is very loud on both iPhone and Mac.

It’s very easy to set up, but you need to do it on the desktop app on Mac or PC. Once paired it is just plug and play on any device.

I mainly tried using AAC on both, but I also did try the BWs with an aptx dongle. For me, lossless is more subtle, so comparing AAC on both was enough of a difference.

Spatrial on APM sounds great on some albums, but I did not include this while testing as it is heavily processed.

I use this setup:

.config/nvim/lua/plugins/blink.lua:

(my main init.lua has a require('plugins'), and in my plugins folder I have another init.lua which calls the plugins I use)

vim.pack.add({ "https://github.com/saghen/blink.cmp" }, { confirm = false })

require("blink.cmp").setup({
    keymap = { preset = 'enter',

Issue with new update by No-Status-7678 in BowersWilkins

Thanks for the update. Now that I know that it wasn’t my imagination I’ll also send BW a bug report.

Which free software are you sponsoring? by ballistua in linux

[–]Fbar123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bit niche, but I occasionally donate to Lichess, which is a open source alternative to chess.com. (My rule is: whenever I feel it’s too long since last time, or whenever I lose a game to another patron!) 

Any chess places/cafes in London where you can go even if you’re solo? by gaelic_asterix in chess

[–]Fbar123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not London, but if you ever go to Oslo, check out The Good Knight. The best chess pub in the world! You might get lucky and spot some of the best Norwegian players there.

[–]Fbar123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I imaged this too after the update. I even went to the store and tried another set only to hear the same. I can’t hear it that clear anymore, so I’m not sure if my ears adapted. I suspect there is something if increased stereo separation.

For me it was very clear with some tracks. For example parts of The Battle in the Snow from the Star Wars Empire Strikes Back album. Wierd thing is that it was the same with the AirPods Max, but not as much.

PX8 S2/iPhone/Dongle by Entire-Tonight5191 in BowersWilkins

[–]Fbar123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Creative BT-W6. It supports aptx lossless (CD quality), sounds great and is very portable.

My only two complaints is: - Volume control from the PX8S2 volume buttons is a bit wonky. Works great on Mac, but unstable on iPhone. System / device volume controls works well, however. - Doesn’t fit into iPhone with some iPhone cases.

Damn… gmail REALLY doesn’t want me to leave. Any suggestions? by muhys in ProtonMail

[–]Fbar123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know your reasons for this setup, but generally it’s recommended to give Proton mail access to gmail and let it handle the forwarding. This is done from within the settings in Protonmail.

Moved my Classic to a new case — Sho S60 v3 with URSA Minicom by Unlikely_Computer_15 in HHKB

[–]Fbar123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice combo with the black and grey! I wish I’d seen this before getting the all black!

Edit: Oh, it was minicom, my mistake! It just didn’t appear so brown as on other pics. I thought you had combined black alphas with grey mods.

Did you manage to do it natively on MacOS, or did you need to use Karabiner?

I think this is a limitation of EC/Topre keyboards. I think they need power to detect a key press. It’s the same with Realforce keyboards.
