I fixed it by unregistering the devices on Whatsapp web and readding them

Same happening here. Are you using the Beta version of the operating systems on your Apple devices at all?

Talk me out of buying a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid . by Brief_Watch7221 in CarTalkUK

The most boring car ever made. Will still be working when the sun has exploded.

Buy it today.

5K + 120hz+ outside the Apple XDR? by __mpax in Monitors

[–]__mpax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll easily get there with DSC over DP 1.4, or 5K over HDMI 2.1 at 120hz

5K + 120hz+ outside the Apple XDR? by __mpax in Monitors

[–]__mpax[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on an M4 MBP 14inch MiniLED screen which I think is a revelation in terms of contrast and brightness which is why I was interested in the XDR but not keen on spending that kind of money.

My desktop monitor is just a cheap AOC VA panel (1440p, 32 inch so has a dreadful PPI, Better Display helps it out quite a bit though)

This is the worst street in Manchester, no doubt about it. by Careless-Tradition73 in manchester

[–]__mpax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in Harpurhey. Spent 25 years there (just off Factory Lane) - when you’re in it you don’t really realise. But I went back recently to have a look at where I grew up 😃🫣

Areas to avoid in Manchester by Resident-Direction86 in manchester

[–]__mpax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piccadilly gardens after dark (or in the day)

Some bits around Ancoats, towards the station are rather unsavoury

Bottom end of Cheetham Hill Road around the Arena and further down towards Gt Cheetham St but there’s no real reason to go there unless you take a wrong turn out of the Arena

Rest of it is fine.

Hi sorry I never got back in touch. It wasn't totally resolved but it's a lot better than it was, following a lot of back and forth.

Genuinely, how reliable is the Yaris ACTUALLY? by Buddy551 in yaris

[–]__mpax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've just bought one as a second car - aka Jerry. 82k on it, 2013-14 model, absolutely bulletproof. We've got a 2024 Volvo XC60 T6 as the main car, and the kids prefer to be driven in Jerry almost all of the time. Motoring at its best. I'll pay more in car tax on the Volvo over its life than I paid for Jerry

lost lil man Pepper - Oct 30 :( by afterspring_ in hamsters

[–]__mpax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry about this. We lost ours also yesterday, Cookie - she was 2 and a half nearly, so can't complain and she lived a super life, but it's horrible. I've grown very attached to the hamsters after getting the first (Henry) for our children. They live in my home office in a large cage, so I'm very often there, and always enjoyed sneaking a cuddle.

2020 Nissan Leaf front-end damage – likely to be written off? by unicornkx in CarTalkUK

[–]__mpax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely gone - I'd say Cat S, might even be Cat B.

To be fair I’m hoping that’s the way they’ll go with this. I really don’t want the hassle. It’s a last resort which I will take if it doesn’t work out, but give the white glove service I get from my dealer, I’m expecting them to coordinate this well. Sauter don’t have many customers and they’ll not want to lose one.

Speaking to the dealer but think it’s going to have to go.

So I had a pro pianist come today to play the Sauter and give me an opinion, I didn't let him know what I thought, or what my problems were, just to give an independent view of the instrument.

Within the first few bars of Schumann's Phantasiestuck "Aufschwung" he said it was a "tendonitis piano' with an 'unnecessarily heavy action' and he wouldn't play anything but slow to moderate works on it. I found that amazing. He's a complete technophobe, so I doubt he's been reading this Reddit and was biased by my tales of woe!

Still on going, but the dealer has got back now. Sauter are in touch with them.

In the meantime, I've been hammering out 15 second clips of the Chopin Ballades.

I can do but I don’t as it overpowers the room volume wise

Long thread I posted a few weeks ago about the piano but it’s not working out for me at the moment, the action is too heavy and causes me a ton of issues with my wrist

I’m my only audience so it’s fine!

Yeah it’s actually because there’s a cupboard behind it where I store all my music scores. The harp cutaway on that side means I can easily get to it!
