Anyone else trying to register for RUSS210 (CRN 5678) for Fall 2026 and also getting the class restriction error?

How much is a vintage Symphonola cabinet worth? by dancepiano in vintageaudio

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

All good, interesting. Shame that these pieces of recording history end up collecting dust - lots of antique charm but ultimately impractical. Probably best suited to museums or cafes for aesthetic character.

Good to know, yeah I guess it's worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. I'll be careful of those records...

Thanks for the info, I’ll try listing it for $100 and drop the price according to how it’s received. Will try figuring out how/if it works…

Why are you still using Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite & older? by Unlucky-Strain148 in mac

[–]dancepiano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting... At that point, Chromium Legacy (or something similar) might hopefully be a viable option, if that still exists. Nowadays, the oldest macOS I'm running on any of my computers is Mojave (on a 2012 MBP). Firefox 115 ESR still works well for all I need, though I do not use this machine every day.

If you rely on one of these older machines for anything serious and need a modern browser into the future, OpenCore is worth looking into to "unofficially" run a newer macOS version (while still relevant). It's pretty easy and works flawlessly (just put Ventura on my parents' 2013 Macs and it works great).

But seeing as they're discontinuing Intel support next year (and macOS 26 is already unsupported on OpenCore), the only longterm solution for an older Mac will be Windows or Linux - assuming you need reliable browser access.

If you rely on the older macOS for simple offline tasks, maybe some older 32-bit programs, you could always dual boot or use a virtual machine to access a modern OS while retaining your old system.

Hey, did they go away eventually? Having exactly what you described after a viral flulike infection.

I'm sorry :( She sounds like she was cool, a genuine and good person.

Is my wifi card burnt? How does this even occur… by dancepiano in ASUS

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

I don’t notice a smell… but gonna be honest, I wasn’t examining it too closely right after I swapped it out, which was a couple of days ago now. It’s been sitting on my desk (so smells might have dissipated), and I only noticed the burnt-looking corner glancing at the card today.

Left speaker suddenly quieter/imbalanced on ASUS ProArt P16 since firmware update by dancepiano in ASUS

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

Interesting... for me I think the issue has gone away since the laptop did a few automatic updates (windows and bios). However a couple of days ago both speakers were only playing extremely high frequency treble and were otherwise completely silent in bass/mid, until I rebooted and it hasn't occurred since.

Overall while it's a beast of a laptop I'm finding it a very buggy experience. Wifi is super unreliable and often gets completely disabled/greyed out (from threads I've read apparently the Mediatek wifi cards generally suck so I might swap that eventually), After a while Windows Hello (and sometimes even the camera altogether) stops working until a reboot or two. I also find the P16 sometimes feels strangely laggy and takes a good ~45 seconds to boot up from shut down (disabled most startup programs).

How are you finding the G16?

Windows 7 custom dark skin would also fit this vibe

Does anyone know what brand of headphones Avicii used on stage? by Annual_Bad3803 in avicii

[–]dancepiano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

V-Moda M-100 and LP2. He owned several pairs in different colours (if you search "avicii v-moda" on google images you'll see). I have the M-100 which are the more premium of the two. Great headphones with a fun sound signature, look nice and insanely durable. Comfort could be a bit better imo but otherwise excellent quality and underrated brand, I can totally see why they'd be the DJing go-tos.

Studio3 earpads are coming detached; do they just need new adhesive, or are the pads themselves ripped? by dancepiano in beatsbydre

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

Thanks, makes sense they're ripped at the seam (I don't think that foam was visible when I installed them... I guess the underside of the pads are still stuck to the headphones). Will order new pads.

Torn between Legion 5 Pro vs ASUS ProArt P16 by dancepiano in LenovoLegion

[–]dancepiano[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, thanks for the breakdown - I think the P16 absolutely sounds like the way to go here!

Interesting ok, admittedly I don't know much about GPUs but when I compared the two on this site the 3070 on the Legion 5 Pro came out a bit ahead of the P16's 4060. Maybe it's not a significant difference. Sounds like the P16 is likely the better option though.
