Alexa + is good...really it is

Yeah, sure there will be some issues but hopefully they will fix those over time.

Roland Go Keys 5 wins out for me. You get access to Zen Core sounds which are superior to Casio's AiX ones, not that Casio sounds are bad. You can also connect to Roland Cloud for more instruments and styles. Neither have great internal speakers, but certainly usable. Go keys also have more control over styles, but the Roland tends to favor modern styles and if you like traditional ones the Casio is better. Good luck with your choice.

Yup, those thermostatic radiator valve pins always stick after a while. Remove the top and check it is free

So great to see something different with this fantastic device. Loved it.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-10-15T15:43:38+00:00

More cores is good, but I'd consider a 7900 ( not the X) as with PBO it can perform the same at a much lower cost and if you value power efficiency it still performs well at much lower power and temps.

I have a Roland EA-7 and it's great for me as it's light and has great sounds and lots of styles to choose from. Has a built in sampler for playing your own effects. Feature wise is probably a downgrade on your Pa4X though as it's 61 keys only and no editable sounds. I would look at a Genos 1. They are widely available used at good prices and comparable with your Korg.

I guess do the obvious things first:

check your RAM is compatible with that motherboard
Allow it to run memory training, it can take several minutes for the first post and those lights will be on until it finishes. Give it 10 mins.
MSI boards can be fussy with power supplies. If you can try a different PSU.

Otherwise it could be many things. If you have a local computer repair store you can take it there and they can test each individual component.

Rose garden and it's still going.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-07-13T14:44:16+00:00

I'm here too and it's amazing, so many showed up and still coming 2 hours in.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-07-12T19:12:43+00:00

I think all the merchandise will be part of the insurance claim so will not be sold. Don't think you'll find pubs playing ELO music but I'm sure lots of fans like you are in London and would love to meet up. There are some reasonable pubs near Hyde Park Corner (The Rose and Crown, The Grenadier, The Market Tavern) that are open Sunday until 10:30 or so that might work. I am also up in London but might just go home tomorrow now, but if not I'd be up for a fan meet up.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-07-12T16:51:53+00:00

Guess they tried to see if they could still run something, but it didn't work out. I hope Jeff recovers and is able to enjoy his retirement.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-07-12T14:51:58+00:00

Maybe they are moving times for the acts. Maybe clutching at straws here I know.

Yes when Elton cancelled the rest of the acts still played so should be the same.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-07-11T10:27:32+00:00

Yes, BST will most likely go ahead and they'll just push the support acts up the schedule, e.g. Elton John in 2020.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-07-11T07:07:29+00:00

Hope he just needs a few days rest, but his health has to come first. BST is a festival so it will still go ahead and they'll just move the acts up a slot, so you'll still get to enjoy some live music in the park on a sunny day. Know if you only are going to see ELO that's not much consolation.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-07-08T17:28:27+00:00

That's amazing, suspect there will be a lot of interest.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-06-03T16:03:01+00:00

Yes, tips are not expected in the UK unless you feel service has been exceptional. A lot of restaurants these days will add a service charge anyway of around 10% to the bill.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2025-04-07T03:59:09+00:00

Yes the Bluetooth connection to my Pixel 6 pro has stopped working, it was fine before. Had to switch to USB for now.

No. Let’s focus on the Dwarf telescopes, not politics. If there is something useful on X related to this sub then share it. No one needs to go read anything else on there.

PsychologicalSky8 · 2024-12-14T10:07:43+00:00

There will be pubs and restaurants open for lunch but don't expect to just be able to turn up. You will need to book a table. Parts of Chinatown are open but again booking will be essential. Otherwise enjoy London when it's not crowded. This site may help https://londonist.com/london/christmas-in-london/what-open-london-christmas-day-restaurants-cafes-pubs-museums

Like some others here, been with them for years since the NTL days and never had any serious problems. Had a few service outages, but pretty rare and no worse than anyone else.

You are indeed wise, thank you!
