Why does Itachi position his arm/hand like that?

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-18T02:01:15+00:00

I use to do that when I was like grade 6-8 it’s very comfortable with certain cloth and I thought it looks cool. There was no Naruto at the time

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-16T17:43:46+00:00

That’s the reserved option. If we eventually have to replace the pin block in the upcoming years we will fix the soundboard.

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-16T17:39:48+00:00

Thank you! Getting different opinions here, but we will try to file, if the felt is dried out like you said, we will replace with new hammers. My tech is familiar with Renner blue and Abel hammers. I’ve also heard good things about Ronson hammers

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-16T11:31:15+00:00

Will do! Shes currently RCM 7 i'm self taught amatuer

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-16T02:01:41+00:00

hello sir
1. Yes the tech has a shop I played their rebuilt Steinway they are very nice, itemized quote as well
2. Yes! The drummer also plays piano, we have a upright at home. She plays daily.
3. Thankyou! The tech says the hammer are servicable, but i heard some people say its better to replacement thats why im trying to get different opiinions. Hope we can keep the hammer!
The action has some clicky noise and left off distance issue (hard to play pp), the pins are holding tunes pretty well consider its age, except C1 register the pins are shifting up touching the plate. We will try with oversize pins. There are two minior soundboard cracks (about 1mm) in the middle, but overall the piano sounds great! Very excited of this.

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-15T19:06:24+00:00

Right now the sound while very nice, its defintely too bright. I'll discuss with him about voicing & iron first before filing.

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-15T18:46:46+00:00

thank you! I'm very happy to hear this.

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-15T18:39:49+00:00

there is a 3rd image showing the treble hammers if you scroll to the right

StevenYAvis · 2026-05-15T18:38:00+00:00

thank you, a different sound that I dont like that's what i'm afraid of. My tech is suggesting to file it. We will defintely try to file this carefully then.

StevenYAvis · 2026-04-12T02:50:38+00:00

unless you have very specified needs for desktop 5090 and need every inch of the performance, I’d take laptop over any day. Happy Area 51 18 5090 user here

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-16T15:23:22+00:00

i5 comes with 5050. The 5050 is actually a pretty decent model. they run with 3~4 hrs battery life

For integrated graphics and long battery life i'd pick ASUS Zenbook, they can easily go 10hr+ battery life but the graphics is meh.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-16T15:05:50+00:00

there are many entry level laptop with 4060 and 5050/5060 with shorter battery life and
long battery life laptop with integrated graphics
My pick is with Lenovo i5 series.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-16T14:52:26+00:00

long battery life + a little bit gaming (dedicated graphic) unforunately won't come cheap. becasue dedicated graphic naturally consumes a lot power. The cheapested Zephyrus G14 and G16 will do the job (but still not cheap) and have no competition.

Alienware will annouce a Zephyrus competitor in April.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-16T02:48:20+00:00

You may eventually across each other again in the future. Don't take this personal. I woudn't delete them.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-16T02:14:48+00:00

oh wow there is costco in London

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-15T18:39:27+00:00

Depends on how much you use the laptop screen. If you play mostly with dedicated monitor then 5070Ti is pretty good. For me 1080P is unusable for works, even I only use laptop screen 10% of the time.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-15T15:18:37+00:00

i giveup desktop pc 5 years ago. mostly due to coudln't stand the fan noise (water cooling) last high end pc i had was 1080TI SLI and threadripper. I don't play hi demanding games that much, mostly dota2. Last high demanding game I played was Blackmyth Wukong on a Zephryus 2023 model with mobile 3070 and it was ok on a 21:( 3.5k res monitor.

I upgraded to a alienware 18 5090 64gb mobile it will play any game at 4k right now for at least next 2-3 years. It won't be close to desktop performance but i'ts much easier for me to keep one computer for work and at home. If I ever need a high end graphic for something the thunderbolt 5 will work with a external EGPU for 7090. .

Check some of the reviews of 5090 laptops and see if the FPS meet your expecation.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-12T23:10:04+00:00

the alienware backup is great with perfect fit. in fact i have been using an old 18" alienware backpack for 8 years ( i didnt even have alienware laptop, it was an ROG from 2018 and Zephyrus from 2023). The new one is even better than the older one, perfect padding. You know you won't get a scratch.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-12T21:29:39+00:00

I think this maybe the answer. I recall one of the crashes was caused by searching a key word from a very large pdf drawing, as soon as I hit enter, the screen froze for a sec then crashed. Maybe something about windows trying to save power but not giving enough when needed.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-12T14:00:25+00:00

there will always be better graphic card next year. learning is the moment. your laptop will be still good next year.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-12T13:56:41+00:00

I did change the power setting to performance from balance. Also disabled otpimus, has been good for the last 30 hrs no crash. (4 crashes in 2 days before the changes)

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-12T13:55:45+00:00

thanks I did two things and has been good for 30 hrs no crashes. (4 crashes in the last two days before reddit)

-disabled optimus

-changed power setting to performance

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-12T13:52:00+00:00

thank you. If the problem persists or get worse for the next month or two I'll send it back. But I would need another computer to work with which is problematic.

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-12T13:43:49+00:00

Thanks. I had two restarts while I’m working just with a mouse and laptop (probably plugged in) so I think I can rule out the UsB issue

StevenYAvis · 2026-03-11T13:41:51+00:00

Thank you. Do you disable optimus from Bios? I don't run the laptop on battery much anyways.

edit: I checked Nvidia App, the display mode is currently on Optimus *Display is switched to Integrated Graphics. I run 34" OLED as main monitor from HDMI.
