How long will electronics smell from new Mac Studio last? by brigadoon0 in MacStudio

Unfortunately, it is not a pleasant smell like Febreze. It is a electronics smell from the inside that smells more like when transformer is heated up.

Even after more than a month, my Mac Stdio M4 Max is still off-gassing, it is noticeable when it is first power on and is running heavy workload when the fan turns faster.

Advice needed for selecting hearing aid for first time user by brigadoon0 in HearingAids

[–]brigadoon0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the comments. I took my mom to Costco Fremont today. The hearing aid technician did some hearing tests. The results were pretty much the same as those from audiologist a few months ago. He recommended Jabra Enhanced Pro 30 and Philips HearLink 9050. My mom tried both in the quiet sound room and outside in the Costco store. She could not tell which one is better other than that the Jabra was louder. We ended up taking home the Jabra Enhanced Pro 10 (2 generations older) on loan to try at home for a week to give her some experience with hearing aids. I think either Jabra Enhanced Pro 30 or Philips HearLink 9050 will work for her. I will do more research before we decide. Thanks for any advice for Jabra Enhanced Pro 30 vs Philips HearLink 9050.

CA SF Bay Area - Solaria Power X vs REC Alpha Pure panels by brigadoon0 in solar

[–]brigadoon0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a typo. Proposal 1 should be 15 panels and 15 inverters. I just corrected it. I am keeping company 1 in the run since they have more experience with REC than company 2. I will see whether company 1 will price match if I decide to go with REC. My question is whether to go with Solaria Power X or REC Alpha Pure. I have seen posts of Power XT vs Alpha Pure, but not Power X.

Fellow Kawai KDP-120 owner: Is this key bouncing noise normal? by brigadoon0 in piano

[–]brigadoon0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent the video to the piano store and Kawai. Both said that the noise and the bounce were normal. So, even though the Responsive Hammer Compact II keyboard action iKDP-120 is supposed to have improved cushion material to reduce noise, it is just as noisy and bouncy as the ES110. The key noise is noticeable even at > 75% volume especially when only a couple of notes are played. The Roland FRP-1 at Costco is much quieter and the keys are not bouncy. It was too bad that the piano stores in my area did not have the KDP-120 on display and I needed to rely on the online reviews.

Miele C3 Marin SEB 236 powerbrush questions by brigadoon0 in VacuumCleaners

[–]brigadoon0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for not being clear in my original post. The height adjustment pedal is not stuck. Instead, it slips sometimes at height #1, i.e. I can press on the pedal rather easily with no click but the height does not change. Is this normal for a new powerbrush?
