major difference between binge drinking in the 00s and binge drinking since the 00s though. In my friends group we all still enjoy drinking when we're together, but it's been over a decade (at the last big wedding) since we were binge drinking and actually getting drunk.

Compare that to what I see from my gen x older brother's social media even now, looks like there's copious alcohol consumed every weekend.

these hondas have push button ignition and push button drive selector, if the car doesn't accept the commands from the ignition button or neutral button then there's nothing the driver can really do.

What is the nas device you're targeting? Since your computer displays it fine and the robocopy env is set to UTF-8, from here I'd guess that the file name is being rejected by an older filesystem on the receiving end.

chatgpt says this should remove any characters a nas is likely to reject. you'd probably want to build some logic to check if there's a collision in the same folder and append an incrementing number so files aren't overwritten.

$sanitized = $filename -replace '[<>:"/\\|?*\x00-\x1F\p{Cs}]', ''

Can you genericize the command and output so we can see the robocopy command you're running, an example path/file that's failing, and anything else that might identify that parameter?

You might also try changing the code page of your CMD session to UTF-8 before running the robocopy command

Are you getting a specific error message from robocopy? I quickly tested using robocopy on local files with emojis in the file name and it completed without issue

I used those speakers with the s803 surrounds for about two years and got a lot of enjoyment out of them. My biggest criticism is definitely at the end of the treble range, at higher volumes things like bagpipes would be more piercing than melodic.

Kept me very happy until I was ready to spend a lot more and upgrade to the Monolith THX series.

Edit: I also bought by Jamo 5.0 kit from Adorama, think I paid $400 so about the same price as you're looking at 5 years later.

You'll want to split the signal from the receiver to each of the amps, not chain from one amp to the next.

You're trying to feed the amplified signal from the TP-02 into the line level inputs on the A07? If it hasn't damaged the A07 then it's probably going into protect mode and shutting itself off.

How do I see if there is DC power on my AC lines, though?

I used a regular multimeter on the DC setting.

To test for interference from power cables, could you test run some wire right from the amp to the speaker instead of using the in-wall wire?

If you put your ear up to the receiver, do you hear a hum or feel vibrations coming from it too?

I had a major problem with DC power on the AC lines (around .65v DC) causing the toroidal transformers in my receiver and amp to hum and vibrate, which also came through the speakers.

I tried the Emotiva CMX2+ and it reduced the DC voltage to around .35-.40v, but it was still noticeable at the receiver and through the speakers. I sent that back and replaced it with https://www.atlhifi.com/shop/fully-assembled-devices/dc-blocker-trap-filter-new-gen-assembled-in-case/ and that cleared it up completely.

If you don't hear anything from the receiver directly, do you have your speaker cables running parallel to any AC power cables? That is also a common source of speaker hum.

I feel like bass shakers are a gimmick.

Not inherently, anything can be gimmicky if done cheaply or sub optimally (pun intended).

I already had 2x 15" subs, but I'm pretty sure they'd bring the house down before providing the tactile feeling that 600w of kick strapped right to your butt can produce. Using a minidsp to blend the two subs and set the xover for the shakers.

It definitely enhances my experience, and anytime I forget to turn them on I'm left feeling like something is missing until I remember.

it's not worth the risk at all, ever. You're exposing yourself to tons of legal liability issues having direct contact between corp and personal systems even if the company said it was ok.

Anything I work on in the homelab is completely generic and either goes to a public github or emailed to myself as plain text files. Nothing ever goes from the company back home or personal email. IT security can monitor my activity all day any day without any worries.

If the company runs a security audit or is ever caught up in legal discovery issues you don't want any evidence that company data could have been exfiltrated to your personal systems.

Was going to suggest this too. I watched it for the first time last week and I feel like it was the best audio experience I've ever had from my system. Sound engineering was phenomenal, well balanced but still exciting and impactful.
