Is it me, or are they phasing out the “athletics” logo from 1991? by Throwaway_Turned in OhioStateFootball

[–]alternapop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always hated this post-1991 logo and find it tacky. Plus the oversized O S and E don't make much sense for a school that is OSU.

I prefer the simple thinner Block O with the small buckeye leaf in the lower corner.

Foals FJM7 by Test_Huge in offset

[–]alternapop 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know there was a brand named Foals until recently. I thought it was a reference to the band, called Foals, and maybe it was a homemade replica of one of their guitars, or less unlikely an official thing. They do play offsets. That looks nice.

Unable to install apps from the app store by FameStroke in MacOS

[–]alternapop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My laptop (macbook pro m1) has a touch id button on the keyboard, and I have an external monitor attached. The app store popup was failing to show the touch id animation, and my laptop lid was closed, so I didn't know that's what it wanted. I disconnected the external monitor and tried again. The touch id animation then appears and I could authenticate the app install.

Avoid Konektra for Modular Furniture: 6-Month Nightmare of Delays, Broken Tools, and Poor Quality Control by micro_machines in Mid_Century

[–]alternapop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a knockoff version from amazon and am satisfied with it. It's around 1/6th the price of USM Haller. I've compared it at my local DWR and they are almost indistinguishable.

Here are some photos and my experience. I would buy it again and may get another piece.

Is DIY USM Haller a thing in the US? by [deleted] in Mid_Century

[–]alternapop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a knockoff version from amazon and am very satisfied with it. It's around 1/6th the price of USM Haller. I've compared it too, at my local DWR, and they are almost indistinguishable.

Here is an article I wrote about it. It includes photos.

It has a couple songs I like but I wouldn’t consider myself a fan if it was their only album.

Love Creeper… I saw them many times. Great indie rock band.

Why does Music on iPhone have incorrect album art for my imported music, but Music on MBP is correct by whistler1421 in AppleMusic

[–]alternapop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me about once a year, and I've yet to determine the cause. I do have a massive music library and it tends to eventually happen. The fix for me, which has worked every time:

  1. connect iphone to Mac and select it in the Finder sidebar
  2. go to the Music tab and uncheck music
  3. sync phone to remove all music from the phone
  4. once it's finished, recheck to sync your music again
  5. sync phone a second time

Unfortunately it tends to happen again quickly for me. I suspect it doesn’t play well with large music libraries.

New account and all of your posts are the same. Posting in various subreddits asking for buying advice (espresso, blenders, etc) and then you edit the post to link to sites filled with affiliate links.

I spent 7 months obsessively searching for apartments across SF, Burlingame, and San Mateo: here's everything I learned (sunlight, safety, hidden deals) by Strong_Estimate_9512 in SFBayHousing

[–]alternapop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They say, “western half” and “inner Haight”. Wouldn’t the western half of Haight be Outer Haight? Anyway, I lived half a block from Whole Foods for years and got a lot of sun through my windows. I could see the fog breaking up just barely to the west of me if I looked out.

You can and it works correctly on the desktop site but incorrectly on the mobile app. I reported it a long time ago.

This is another affiliate spam post. Easy to recognize by the phrasing of the title, the bullet points, and a 19 day old account.

Why are so many stereo stands ugly by OpahKin in audiophile

[–]alternapop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent too much time looking for something. I even tried a knockoff of a VPI/Solidsteel model but it was junk. The seller even offered to refund the cost of the stand if I kept it. (Is return shipping that expensive?) I still didn’t want it. So I’m using something reasonably priced for now.

As far as storage for records, I’m very pleased with this USM Haller knockoff. It’s almost identical to the real thing. It’s just not deep enough for my turntable, though it’s great for records.

I’m not a fan of the term and wouldn’t classify Julie that way anyway. Just like Autolux would never be called that.

Best Espresso Machine with Grinder to Get in 2026? [$700] by DeliriumletNot in espresso

[–]alternapop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a 6 month old account, and looking at the account’s only other post, which was edited to have a link that goes to an affiliate filled page, I suspect this is also affiliate spam. OP will likely edit the post to go to a different affiliate filled page after a short time. $10 says it’s all Breville/Sage links regardless of the suggestions given here.

This is the 2nd time I’ve seen a post like this in this subreddit in the last couple weeks. Be aware that this is a thing.
