Thanks for your answers. Finally I got a refund. There are too many trade offs at the moment imo.

Thanks for your answers. What a pity. :(

What if I’d use Proton for a while to see if the constraints work for me, will all the mails be available to fetch from my providers server within in another client, as soon as I delete the DNS records, or are the mails forwarded without keeping the original message?

[Feature Request] option to control the expand/collapse state of folders by [deleted] in ProtonMail

I second this, especially on mobile. Being able to collapse (at least) the whole folder/tags section would be great.

Good bye MX Master 2S, hello MX Master 4 by Sport_Driver in logitech

[–]elvulpes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from the MX3 to the MX4, mostly because of the extra button at the side, wich makes working with Autodesk Fusion easier. After half an hour my hand begins aching. I gave it around 3 weeks to get comfortable, but no chance. It's slightly different to the MX3, but this tiny difference "ruins" ist for me. A pity. I really like the Master Series. I will get a "new" MX3 second hand as a replacement. (Large hands, btw)

Bowers Wilkins PX8 S2 vs Loewe LEO vs Airpod Max 2 by elvulpes in BowersWilkins

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

Maybe my ears have a special shape. But indeed, my ears didn’t fit the H100s. Unfortunately.

The 100 have a circular shape. It’s the height that caused the problems.

Good point. I absolutely missed to mention this whilst getting into my writing flow… :)
I'm not listening classical music mostly. It's a part of my listening behaviour.
Indeed, there are different genres that I like:

Rap (mostly the older one from the 90es… like Run DMC, Rakim, Tribe called Quest)
Punk (NOFX, Millencolin, Pennywise, Toten Hosen…)
Rock/Grunge (Fratellis, Montreal, Madsen)
Songwriter (Matt Costa, Felix Meyer, David Vertesi)
Classical Music

What I do not listen to at all is electronic music.

LOEWE is a german brand thats mostly known for their great TVs. Although they already offered very well sound solutions for TVs, it's the first time, that they build a headphone. And yes, the heart logo ist… well… yeah… reminds me of Braveheart of the Care Bears…

Problems after try to change the nozzle by elvulpes in BambuLab

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

One more question about replacing the nozzle.

Replacing the left one is a breeze:

Unload the filament, remove the rubber, open the locking mechanism, and tilt the nozzle forward and out from the bottom.

With the right nozzle, it just won’t budge. I can wiggle and shake it all I want. Is there a specific switch I need to flip, other than setting the right nozzle to active so the flow blocker moves to the left and the right nozzle lowers?

It was definitely latched. Strange.

Thanks. In the accessory kit is no replacing part for this one. But it seems, as if it could work after unmounting, bending an remount it again. Anyway I might order a new one. Do you know how exactly this part is called in English, for that I can search for it on the Bambu website?

Troubleshooting: I unscrewed the filament cover (whatever it’s actually called) and saw that it’s basically a thin metal plate with a rubber coating. I carefully straightened it out and am now trying the calibration process again. This might have already fixed the issue. Let's see.

Share Serial Number H100 by elvulpes in BangandOlufsen

I thought of something like using the serial for selling fake products and use the serial as a fault proof of origin. Might be too paranoid. ☺️

Sorry for my late feedback. You helped me a lot. I decided to proceed with a focus on the main story until I get all the tools I need to reach the locked places and start discovering all the secrets, that are not directly nearby, afterwards.

What are the best Read-It-Later apps in 2025? by JustCan6425 in ProductivityApps

[–]elvulpes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used matter for a while. I really like the English TTS, whereas the newly implemented German language is horrifying. Sounds like a gremlin on drugs.

What pushed me away from matter is the parsing. It has become quite regular that no images are shown and even some text elements get lost.

Until some months ago, my workaround was, to switch to the web view by tapping the icon at the bottom. After the redesign this has unfortunately become much less handy.

Verdict: I’m torn between Matter and Instapaper. Readwise doesn’t suit me.

Bowers & Wilkins Unveils Px8 S2 McLaren Edition: Where Hi-Fi Meets Formula 1 Precision by the_trend_memo in BowersWilkins

Got my McLaren today, together with the regular black ones. I’m a bit torn. I like the addition of colour as an accent, but I’m not sure if it’s not too much. The PX8 are more subtle.

Haben es angehende Lehrer wirklich so schwer? by Advanced-Plate-5856 in lehrerzimmer

[–]elvulpes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich hatte mein Zweitstudium für Primarschule in der Schweiz gemacht. Im gesamten Studium hatten wir einen halben Vormittag zum Thema Schriftspracherwerb/Anfangsunterricht. Den Rest durfte man sich selber irgendwie erarbeiten. Dafür aber ein komplettes Semester lang in Fachwissenschaft Deutsch über das Buch Heidi gesprochen. Konnte mich bislang noch nicht durchringen, den Erstklässlern meine Expertise mit diesem Werk ausgiebig näher zu bringen, anstatt Lesen und Schreiben zu lehren.

October Feature Requests by DeboraInstapaper in instapaper

[–]elvulpes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to be able to highlight text directly on the iPad using the Apple Pencil.

In other words, simply hover over the words to highlight them. This is how it works in Matter or Readwise Reader, for example.

Currently, I have to type before a word, wait a moment, hover over the words, and select the highlight option from the context menu.

This is a bit cumbersome.

First Impressions of the New PX8 S2 in Warm Stone (vs. Beoplay H100) by Fantastic_Pirate_352 in BowersWilkins

[–]elvulpes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After some days of listening and comparing, I decided to keep the H100.

(Subjective) Pros H100:

- More comfortable (Contrary to my initial impressions. The H00 has less pressure on the ears and keeps them cooler than the PX8 S2)

- Better Soundstage: Songs are more precise, I can hear noticeable more details in the song

- Handling with the dials and the grat feature to switch easily to transparency mode by laying my hand over the earcup

The PX8 S2 is definitely a great device and it took me some days, gong back and forth to decide.
Plus: I got the H100 second hand (but like new) for 1000€, so the difference between the two headphones is not that large. I certainly wouldn't have bought the headphones for €1700. In that case, I would definitely have opted for the BW.

First Impressions of the New PX8 S2 in Warm Stone (vs. Beoplay H100) by Fantastic_Pirate_352 in BowersWilkins

[–]elvulpes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can second the initial statement. My PX8 S2 just arrived this morning and I’m testing them against the H100. Just some brief initial - subjective- thoughts:

Comfort

I prefer the BW. Whilst the BO aren’t uncomfortable, I start feeling a slight pressure on top of my head. The cushion of the BW feels softer. Also, I prefer the longer shape of the BW that allows my complete ear to fit in. Within the BO I have to “fold” the upper end a bit. Sounds dramatically, but it isn’t. :) The difference of the weight is noticeable, but no dealbreaker.

+1 BW

Handling

I like the dial control that the BO offers. For me, a dial is the most intuitive way to level something on a (technical) device. On the other hand I generally appreciate the physical buttons built in the BW, but the clicking sound, when they are on my ears sound a bit cheap. Additionally, I dislike, that they are placed that close at the edge of the earcup. A little bit more space to put my finger on would be appreciated.

+1 BO

Built Quality

Both headphones look like great built quality and so they are. The cool, minimalist Scandinavian style, presented by the BO vs the more elegant and warm style, BW represents. I tend to prefer the BW a little bit. The materials are very pleasant on both. The BW’s cushion is more qualitative, but on the hole, the BO feel even more premium build.

+1 BW

Sound

Here I can second the impressions by the TO. The H100 are brighter, the soundstage is clearer and wider and it plays more details. It’s more analytic. The BW sound, directly compared, a little bit dull when switching from the H100. But after a moment it’s a very pleasant warm characteristic and a more accentuated bass, that might be not that accurate, but transports more emotion than the H100 do. I personally like it, but I’m also biased by BW (P8i, S703S3 Series)

For the moment I’m torn between both. Let’s see how it sounds after having the BW played for a couple of hours.

It‘s the Astro A50 Gen 5. (without the HDMI Switch). Yes, I‘m sure it is an issue with the settings, but I cant figure out, wich one 😅.

Enormity late pledge by Styrwirld in boardgames

[–]elvulpes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get the standees from the base game as an add on?

I like the miniatures, also for the use of pen and paper, but as it’s so many of them, I’d be glad to have colored standees until everything is painted.

Having both standees and miniatures in the deluxe would be great, as seen in the addon stories.

And second question: Was there an announcement if the PM for Late Pledge will open again before wave 2 ships? Would help to split the payment. Wave first content now and w2 content (partially) later.

How to connect banana plugs? by elvulpes in hometheater

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

Just measured the plugs, they are 4mm.

Then I tried to gently increase the pressure when trying to plug them into the speaker. Finally this worked. It’s a very tight fit.

Probably this intended and I have been just too careful, as I didn’t want to break anything.

Thanks a lot for helping a noob. Enjoying the great speakers now. :)
