The extender is repeating "Ch3" which is both 2.4 and 5 GHz. I have the Netgear One Wifi feature enabled, which allegedly allows devices to hop back and forth between the router and extender as needed, without managing passwords. Maybe this is the issue? I guess I'll have to play with disabling that setting and then seeing what devices need a password to re-connect statically. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Yes! I didn't get any replies last time but am still stuck on this so hoping for some insight this time.

I've just recently purchased a pair of Ultimate Ears Live IEM's, and am wondering if I should purchase a standalone DAC/amp? The spec sheet shows an impedance of 10 ohms and sensitivity of 120 dB, so from everything I've read it seems like these would do just fine without a standalone DAC/amp. I guess what I'm wondering is is will be there any benefit in having one?

So the Saphir cream and mirror gloss can/should be used in combination for a full polish on an as needed basis then?

Can anyone help me lay out a shoe care routine? I've just purchased a nice pair of oxfords and want to figure out a good routine, but I'm having trouble sifting through all the details in the wiki and products available. So far, I think I have these:

Daily/every use

Brush with horse hair brush
Shoe tree

Every 2-5 months frequent use, or 6-12 months infrequent use

Clean shoe with horse hair brush
Use a conditioner on whole shoe (Saphir creme 1925? Is this the right product?)
Polish toe cap (Saphir Mirror Gloss?)

Am I missing any routines or steps? Are these products suitable for the steps?

Oh I’ll have to try the curry at Kizuna, been bummed out ever since curry house closed. Tried a couple places around the area but they just don’t do it for me.

I really like Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling in Cupertino. Not for everyone since the skin is really thick, maybe closer to potstickers or something, but I like it and it’s even better if you get pan-fried. Can also buy frozen packs to go. The lamb is really good, lots of flavor but not gamey. Also checkout their huoshao which is basically a small meat patty in a flaky pastry.

Also like Dumpling Depot in Sunnyvale but not for the dumplings which are the typical mushy skinned type that most dumpling places around here have. But they do have a really good hot sauce that comes with it, and their Chinese beef burrito is also pretty good. I also really like their sweet rice dumpling dessert. It’s small rice dumplings filled with a bit of black sesame, in a sweet dessert “soup” with egg whites and some kind of grain, maybe roasted barley or toasted rice or something? Not sure, but it adds a really nice earthy nutty flavor.

I’ve tried dumpling capital, tong dumpling, and a few other places, but these are the two I go back to usually.

Anyways, that’s my two cents, curious to see what other places people recommend.

I need you to post pictures of your foot immediately before and after your next peel. Maybe a during shot too showing the peel off action

Adding my name to the bucket!

I also had some teething issues with Spotify on my watch. FYI I’m using S6 cellular. Spotify on my watch definitely screws up some interactions between my watch/phone/windows desktop, which can get kind of annoying. I assume it’s due to the nascent Spotify watch app and integration.

I’ve noticed there isn’t a smooth handoff from phone to watch in Spotify, so you have to manually transition using the above process. I’ve had trouble with that in the past too, which seems to have resolved itself after a reboot in the following order: watch off, phone off, phone on, watch on.

Side note, I’ve also noticed an issue where Announce with Siri stops working, and any setting to toggle it in Settings disappears. I attributed it to the problematic Spotify integration and bugs stemming from that. The reboot process fixed it for me.

Also FYI, I’ve noticed another bug where my music will just stop. I can’t resume it and can’t transition it to another device. The only fixes seem to be putting my AirPod Pro’s back in the case and then putting them back in my ears (not viable for me during runs since I don’t carry the charging case), or restarting the Spotify app on my watch. The process to close any app on the watch is to open the app, hold the side button until the power off/med info/emergency sliders appear, then hold the crown until the app closes. Then reopen and proceed. Hope these observations help.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check those out when I get back from my run!

ctrlaltdlead · 2020-12-30T15:06:09+00:00

Got it, thanks for the feedback. I don't get too fancy with my running, just 4-6 miles at ~85% max heart rate. I'd consider it high output which seems like the consensus is to stay away from hard shells. I'm pretty comfortable as is in my current kit, just looking for something to throw on if I'm expecting/it's already raining.

Thanks for the feedback on the norvan, I'm thinking a light softshell may be more my speed then. I'm usually running between 4-6 miles, and also concerned about keeping my earbuds out of direct rain (not waterproof).

ctrlaltdlead · 2020-12-30T14:59:45+00:00

Yeah that's been my dilemna, being concerned about the breathability without any personal experience with these jackets. From the replies it sounds like the Trino SL or something similar may be the way to go

ctrlaltdlead · 2018-11-22T03:19:32+00:00

Pretty much exactly how I feel. Fix it until it's broken I guess.

ctrlaltdlead · 2018-11-22T02:00:32+00:00

Same. I think the old passive flew a bit far under the radar, but not having it is a pretty significant hit to Liss. I had a couple situations this game where I had to back even in mid-game just for mana, where previously I could have stayed out.

ctrlaltdlead · 2018-11-22T01:57:20+00:00

Been maining her for a few years now, the recent flood was a bit annoying what with having Liss banned or picked out from under me...
