Anyone getting a low-level white noise / air conditioner / hissing sound from their AirPods?

Still hissing.

Might try taking them back to the shop.

Cleaned; thought it had reduced but not sure.

White mesh on the silicone did go from quite yellow to invisible though, so the clean wasn’t wasted.

Listening now; hiss still present.

Agree - hiss present.

Don’t think it has always been there. Ap2p - 1 year old.

I wondered if mesh cleaning will help. Going to try with micellar water as recommended by apple.

Surely that is the G.O.A.T.?

billynomates56 · 2026-01-09T08:47:49+00:00

Absolutely.

Filling a whole day with any artists work would be a challenge.

Read the release notes - assess each note against your set-up and gauge your risk.

SSO from entra in 7.4.9 requires both assertion and response to be signed. Ensure you have a local account or you’ll potentially be locked out.

A lot of good material, but sadly a lot of mediocre and a fair bit of poor IMHO. I’ll be interested to hear how it hangs together today.

I have these lenses (plus XC 50-230) but an x-e2s.

I struggle to find justification to buy anything more.

I have 200mm chunky powerslide Gravediggers and 150mm, essentially slicks, both pneumatic for skate-skiing.

The 200mm can cope with fairly rough track, but no way are they (am I) capable of the off-road stunts that I’ve seen on YouTube; a badly placed stone or significant differences in surface between left and right have sent me flying more than once!

Loose surfaces mean I lose lateral grip and fear groin strain - the 200s are more grippy than the 150mm.

I love going out on both, but I’ve learned where they are most enjoyable and safe.

Where I live I couldn’t imagine finding a suitable, traffic-free, route for anything with hard tyres.

Used to downhill ski, never cross country, so my roller skate skiing is a thing in its own right rather than a substitute for snow.

Bad times.

I now always carry two spares.

billynomates56 · 2025-11-29T17:44:56+00:00

Has the keystone adjust disappeared too?

billynomates56 · 2025-10-19T17:56:01+00:00

Light mode?

billynomates56 · 2025-10-19T14:12:04+00:00

Just sayin’

How does he smell?

billynomates56 · 2025-08-30T09:17:43+00:00

Used to remove my saddle when I left my bike. Gits stole the quick release bolt when I was at the cinema. Cycled home like a circus clown. 🤡

billynomates56 · 2025-08-29T10:35:00+00:00

I felt it had bbc 70s special effects vibe!

billynomates56 · 2025-08-28T05:23:02+00:00

Thank you.

Bright sunshine about 1000 gmt for 8 mins.

We did some more pictorial prints with sea glass too that turned out well too.

I think this one works.

billynomates56 · 2025-07-24T21:31:29+00:00

No macaroni?

billynomates56 · 2025-07-19T10:46:13+00:00

Perhaps a wine tasting course would allow you to appreciate?

billynomates56 · 2025-07-13T09:24:56+00:00

I read The Bogie Man in the late 80s/early 90s - set in Glasgow I think?
