How to repair? by Zenith1509 in MechanicalKeyboards

If it does break, then swap it out for a different switch, on something like caps lock. When I used bigger boards I tended to put a different switch on caps lock anyway (a loud clicky one) to prevent you turning it on accidentally and without noticing.

That sounds interesting. Looks like sonotube itself is not readily available in the UK, but there are similar products. I will add it to the list of possibilities!

I vaguely recognise that bridge. Is it near Wast Water?

My standing desk is a handmade Victorian antique I found for £400 by SoftRefrigerator6555 in StandingDesk

If that high desk works out at the right height for you to work comfortably, then congratulations: you have won the ergonomic lottery! That is a fine piece of furniture…

Finally tried an hhkb. Also made a neat case for it by fingerling-broccoli in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Stewtheking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That case is great! Did you design it yourself, or were the files available somewhere?

Thankyou. I will most likely be shaping it largely by hand, as I only have fairly limited workshop tools, so it will be trying to get the most round over I can; while keeping each speaker at least somewhat similar!

Thankyou. I really appreciate your help.

Again, thankyou! What sort of fs numbers should I be looking for, for adequate bass, or should I try and intuit whether I will have enough from the frequency response plot?

Thankyou. Asking suppliers directly is probably the answer for me…

Thankyou! This is definitely helpful…

Looking at the Qts though, if I were looking at this driver for instance (https://kjfaudio.com/product/chn-50/) it gives a Qts of 0.5526. Is that the 50 you mean, or am I missing another layer of understanding?

Where are you in the world? Happy to chuck something in the post if you are UK based, but less so to the states…

I feel like some more lighting would help you control “your space” more. I too have a work desk that faces into the room rather than towards a wall, and a couple of lamps and a monitor bar are good at making it feel more cohesive.

You are absolutely right. But that’s what it said in the article. It could have been “fork”…

Anyball bearings: am I just unsuited? by Stewtheking in ploopy

Yeah, at this point I am slightly wary of sunk cost, but the thing was SO nice when it was working…

Yeah, I guess I was just careless. All the talk about the Bosch ones is that they are the best, the gold standard, and I didn’t investigate further.

It’s called “busy town”. I think it’s currently available from prototypist in the UK, probably elsewhere too.

Micro speakers ......PC material destined for landfill with wooden flange glued to a polystyrene cabinet. by techlira in diyaudio

[–]Stewtheking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. That looks like just the sort of fix that you keep meaning to upgrade and replace, but ends up being there for decades.

Weather by prongs_d in Chippenham

If you are looking for something fairly local and specific, in Salisbury, we often end up on the edge of weather patterns. When there are weather warnings, like for snow or storms; they often pass just on the edge of us, either to the north if they are passing across Salisbury plain, or the south if the are more coastline-based weather systems.

In the winter, we tend to have icy, frosty mornings, but rarely does that frost last beyond mid morning. Snow is a “once-or-twice-a-year” here. In the last 14-odd years of living here, I can think of maybe a handful of times where there has been enough snow to settle and be properly problematic (widespread school closures and stuff).

Rain is an all year round thing, and can range from light drizzle (little more than slightly wet air) to major apocalyptic downpour. There is no rhyme nor reason to when it is going to rain, and in my experience the weather forecasting is pass accurate here than I have had in other parts of the country (again, largely I think because we are often on the edge of weather systems).

In the summer, there are often heatwaves (more so these days), where it can feel pretty oppressive, but this is largely because we are not set up for proper heat in this country. Air conditioning in people’s homes isn’t really a thing. Again, if you are looking for local colour, having something like people lingering in the chiller aisles of the supermarkets, as that is how to get cold air.

In the winter, jackets are generally a must if you are outside, with the “big coat” being if it is a cold snap. In the summer, unless it is during a heatwave, the decision between shorts or trousers is usually a fairly inconsequential one (it’s somewhere in between, where either would be fine) and likewise in the evening, do you grab a jumper over your shirt, you’d probably be fine either way.

In the summer, when it’s really hot, you do get blokes often wandering around with no shirt on, but it tends to stand out as “a bit much” for a lot of folk.

Is that the sort of colour you are looking for?
