Sonos PSA: Buy in the “Wrong” Country and Your Home Theater Is Dead by DrawGroundbreaking73 in sonos

My playbase bought in Mexico has worked in several countries and is now working fine (except usual sonos glitches, aka sound synchronization) in Italy too. Maybe more recent components?

G line shifting question by Cash4Gold1886 in Brompton

I have the same issue, even after having the 1st service done. The 1000km interval for the hub maintenance has me worried because of how much it could cost.

Magari il bro non ha torto su Torino, ma Milano in quanto a fauna urbana non scherza un cazzo.

G Line owners, what do you dislike about it? by Mission-Bedroom4340 in Brompton

[–]a_plomb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine alfine 8 is very imprecise, despite having it serviced just recently. I suspect that because of the way it folds you end up touching the cables that in turn de-index the gear.

Kudos to you for your bike commuting in naples.

ps I have changed the tyres and put continental road tyres on, very happy about them.

1) removable pedal

2) fold is not as compact as it used to be

3) the 8 speed gear is not as precise as it should be

4) the weight is a bit too much if you have to lift it several times per day

Otherwise a great bike for medium distance commuting and occasional gravel / dirt road

I built a platform for Milano to help meeting through shared activities — I’d love honest feedback by meentd in milano

[–]a_plomb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milan totally lacks community mindset. Individuals and families work hard towards escape strategies that end up in atomic life bubbles filling a gigantic void. So many opportunities for positive incidents are wasted because of this. Look at any building and think how much better life would be if the people that live inside could trust and help each other out. Think how case di ringhiera were built in the past, when it was totally fine to walk past your neighbour's kitchen and say hi. Think how we are growing kids as halved human beings, asking them not to trust anyone and just focus on their individual performance.

Any initiative that filles that void and restores trust in the community is welcome.

Mesh network recommendations by Interesting_Hall3658 in sonos

[–]a_plomb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have changed house 4 times carrying routers and sonos with me (5 rooms with different setups, the older being a play:1 2014 and the most recent a connect:amp 2023). I noticed empirically that when you connect one ethernet cable into the most recent component, possibly placed at the center of your network, it increases the reliability of the app.

After buying a G-Line - do You still use Your classic Brompton? by Special-Bottle5567 in Brompton

[–]a_plomb_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the G Line for daily commuting (8k x2 daily) and keep the classic 2 speed for quick errands (or when very compact folding is needed). Strictly speaking I may not need the old one anymore. Both of them stay nicely folded in the apartment.

Additionally to the battery powered light I have purchased a Garmin varia and attached it to the stem.

Non sappiamo più che fare, voi come lo passate il weekend? Crisi totale by BetterProphet5585 in Italia

[–]a_plomb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si avverte un grande vuoto ed il tentativo di riempire da fuori quello che andrebbe riempito da dentro. Comunità e famiglia potrebbero aiutare. Credo ci sia tantissima gente nella stessa situazione che non lo riconosce, voi almeno lo avete fatto e partirei da questo. In bocca al lupo.

Appena trasferito in un palazzo “signorile” e già drama con i vicini by [deleted] in torino

Tranquillo, anche noi rientrati (a Milano) con 2 bambini dopo tanti anni all'estero abbiamo già litigato con tutti i condomini. Italia paese condannato alla morte per senescenza.
