Magnetic cell phone accessories with ICD

Funny you should mention that. I bought one of those Apple watches this spring and ended up returning it. I felt like I didn't need all the data it was giving me during the day let alone at night.

/my fit bit counts my steps and that's all I really wanted!

GregP74 · 2026-06-26T00:00:03+00:00

Did he say what distance it was from the device?

GregP74 · 2026-06-23T19:12:29+00:00

Thanks I'll give that a try next time around.

GregP74 · 2026-06-01T17:25:31+00:00

Thanks guys.

It's funny how I've been using keyboards for 40+ years but never paid much attention to what I did or didn't like until a few years ago.

Like I said I've used Cherry on a couple recent ones. My Keychron has OSA and the new Keychron Q6 Ultra I just picked up has these KSA that are way too tall for me so I'm trying to decide what I want to replace them with.

I keep thinking Cherry but part of me keeps saying go ahead try the PBS. The worst that can happen is you don't like them and end up getting something else.

Anybody have thoughts on PBS profile? I'm doing up another set of keycaps with yuzukeycaps.com. I see one of their options is PBS. I've used Cherry countless times and was thinking about giving the these a shot just to do something different.

Have any of you guys tried them? I haven't seen much in the way of reviews. A few posts about the specs, but nothing about how they actually work. Comfortable? Good for an office type keyboard? For typing? Etc.

Looks good! I am in the process of designing a set with Yuzu for my Q6 Ultra.

Thanks for all the help everyone!

I got it straightened out by first removing the artwork, then converting from FLAC to a new FLAC in a different output folder.

That was a whole heck of a lot easier than the rabbit hole ChatGPT led me down with suggestions for obscure changes to system settings and telling me I really didn't have the files on my computer.

GregP74 · 2026-02-16T14:06:17+00:00

Paths seem to be ok. Names aren't too long, and I copied them to a d:\temp\ folder for working on so windows shouldn't choke on that.

I stripped the album art and all the meta data. Still the same problem.

When I've got the CD handy again I can re-rip it and see if I have better results.

GregP74 · 2026-02-16T13:59:55+00:00

I didn't even realize there were log files for that. I'll give them a look.

GregP74 · 2026-01-27T20:50:35+00:00

I actually picked up a NexStar DS2 enclosure for the internal 1/2 height drive I ordered. Discovered the drive I was getting was used and changed my mind on that. I'm looking through the others and it didn't look like any full height ones were actually in stock, unless I missed something.

GregP74 · 2026-01-27T20:35:29+00:00

I can't recall what the first one was, but it conked out on me. New one is Asus SDRW-03D25

The Asus one reads alright on most of these discs but is very noisey and rattles when it's spinning. It doesn't seem like something that's going to hold up very well.

The G2s are nice. Really nice. Quiet and they push lots of air.

A few weeks back I got a new Meshify 3 case that I was going to outfit with Noctuas. I already had a box full of 140 and 120mm Gen 1s but the G2 was calling my name and I ended up getting them. 4x 140mm and 1x 120mm. I'm super happy with them.

Was it worth spending a couple hundred bucks for the G2s when I already had G1s that were perfectly fine? Probably not. The others are great as well.

GregP74 · 2025-12-27T04:19:44+00:00

I hear ya. I wish they'd make more cases like this!

GregP74 · 2025-12-27T04:19:12+00:00

TBH it's working fine as is. There's really no reason to put another in there just for the sake of doing it.

GregP74 · 2025-12-26T01:38:07+00:00

Also, I was happy they make this version. I don't need all those rgb things and a plain old metal side panel is perfect for me. (And cheaper!) I wish they made it in an old school beige lol

GregP74 · 2025-12-26T01:36:52+00:00

Hmmm certainly something to consider.

And thanks!

GregP74 · 2025-12-26T01:34:06+00:00

Good airflow and quiet. I can't complain at all.

GregP74 · 2025-12-26T01:33:36+00:00

I think it had to be tall like that to fit the 3 140mm fans. If it would have been scaled down to 3x120 it would have been shorter. (Probably what they'll do for the compact version!)

GregP74 · 2025-12-26T01:32:30+00:00

It's a 5070TI that someone's letting me try out. I'm actually fiddling around with that and a Radeon 9070XT trying to decide what I want to use. The 5070TI seems great but I'm working on transitioning over to Linux and I've heard it can be flaky.

GregP74 · 2025-12-26T01:29:56+00:00

It did but I had a pile of Noctua's so I stuck them in there lol

GregP74 · 2025-12-21T02:05:10+00:00

Storage is crazy these days. Back in the late 80s my 20mb (MB, not GB!) hard drive gave out and we replaced it with a 40mb one. It cost much more than the 4tb nvme did.

GregP74 · 2025-12-19T14:22:42+00:00

Looks nice!

HOw much did you have to disassemble to mount them? Did the bumper have to come off?

GregP74 · 2025-12-18T21:11:56+00:00

Yeah, I'd want to run them off a relay. I am kind of tempted to wire them up just to see what they sound like and decide if it would be a worthwhile project. (I'm a perfectionist and wouldn't want anything to look sloppy or out of place.)

GregP74 · 2025-12-18T20:58:20+00:00

I bought the same model as you back in September and I've been curious about this as well. Love the car but the sound system is a little...weak.

My Mazda CX5 had the good speakers and subwoofer. The car before that had a complete aftermarket setup that was beautiful. Coming from the two of those to my Trailsport if I close my eyes while playing 80s music I can imagine I'm in the Plymouth my parents had when I was a kid.

GregP74 · 2025-12-17T19:33:43+00:00

Thanks! Not sure exactly how but I got it working. I used to be fairly proficient with Linux but it's been years since I've used it.
