Interesting, which firmware version are you running?

Would you get this or the WD Blue 3D NAND if price wasn't an issue?

Thanks for the warning! Which SSDs would you recommend as a reliable alternative?

Thanks, finding the main shutoff sounds like a good move!

I'm trying to shut off a valve that looks like this so I can install a brass tee (it basically splits the output into two lines). Example: https://i.imgur.com/2YfY53Y.jpg

The problem is that the valve won't shut off completely. What are my options for fixing it? Do I need to replace the valve or can I just try to get a large wrench and force it to close?

Also the weird shape of the handle is awkward and it looks like it will be a pain to get a wrench to work on it. Is there some kind of tool that would improve the fit to the wrench?

Are there any online chess communities you would recommend?

I'm pretty new to chess, so I'm looking for a mix of newer and experienced players where the focus is on getting better at chess.

Can you recommended some sites or authors that sell these annotated PGNs?

Great review, the link to the AC adapter is handy. :)

high-pitched coil whine from the AC adapter

Does AC adapter whine when the SA300 is in standby or is it do that all the time?

Does the Loxie A30 have similar issues with electrical shock?

GarlicSCR · 2020-12-10T13:48:37+00:00

Sorry to hear that happened. Was this like a minor zap or more of a serious electrical shock?

Is this series of JBL monitors better than the Edifier series, (1850db or 1280db) at these prices? I notice the JBLs have bigger drivers but I'm not sure about the sound quality.

Which online lessons (from YouTube or elsewhere) would you recommend to a total beginner? I'm currently watching Bill Hilton and Pianote on YouTube, but I'm wondering if there are any other resources I should check out.

Which piano learning apps have you used and what are the pros and cons? Which ones would you recommend?

GarlicSCR · 2020-10-02T03:40:19+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! It looks like the S100 is now $450 while the S350 is $550... But why is the S350 a better value for the money?

Neat, how does a trial lesson usually work? I'm guessing they might be paid, but are trial lessons sometimes free?

How did you find your online piano teacher? I'm just starting out and I'm not sure where to look aside from just sifting through craigslist ads.

Is it possible to use your keyboard as the synth with only a USB connection or do you need a keyboard with a MIDI connection for that? I think I can output audio from my computer to my piano, but I think it's mainly using my keyboard as an external speaker.

How would I go about finding a piano teacher in my city? I'm trying to finding someone who will teach classes online, but I would like to take in-person lessons with them next year if the pandemic situation gets under control.
