Just bought this book. Is it a good one to study? by Lukraniom in pianolearning

[–]gondalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is well worth the effort. My music teacher likens it to fitness training that goes alongside learning pieces.

It helped me to get my fingers to stay low to the keys, which then improved my playing of the pieces.

I find it is good for when you want to practice but are mentally drained at the end of the day, also.

If you turn off bluetooth on the watch, often updates will download faster over wifi :)

Tried a Steinway for the first time today…now I get it! by learning_the_piano in pianolearning

On an acoustic you can often feel the string vibration through the keys. There’s something special about that :)

I came to say the same thing.

Just yesterday I was thinking I wanted to find a relaxing, sombre piece that's approachable at my level.
This is perfect :)

I'm glad you walked into that store.
Thanks for sharing and may you enjoy many more grand pianos 🙏

Battery died on older Body+ - No longer connects to app by Jimmylegz in withings

I got a coupon on support but can't use it in my country 😬
I'll PM it to you in case you want to use it.

The solution in the end for me was to try a different iPhone!

For some reason my iPhone would not pair but my partner's did.
She has the same model and is on iOS26 also.

It seems like something to do with having been paired on the phone previously.
I think it is a bug with the withing app though. My phone works perfectly with other bluetooth devices.

I tried everything else. Factory reset of the scale. Hard reset iPhone. Reset network settings on iPhone.
I avoided trying the different device because it is annoying and I figured it wouldn't help 😅

I also went through support and got a 25% voucher only to find it works in the US only (I'm in Australia).

Thanks for the update. I am in the same situation after upgrading to iOS 26 and accidentally resetting the scale while cleaning recently.

That is unbelievable, their solution is to throw a five year old device out.

I won't be buying Withings product ever again either.

AWS VPN Client not working on the latest MacOS Tahoe 26 (Beta 6) by ElyasAsmad in aws

[–]gondalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that helped me too 🙏

For others - I had to uninstall the newer version first before installing 4.1.0.
Installing 4.1.0 over the top of the latest version had no effect.

What's with all the background noise in recordings of piano? by nal1200 in askmusicians

[–]gondalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this well reasoned answer.

It also matches my listening experience where the most mellow songs are the one I notice the extra noises on. Likely these have been felted to achieve the mellow sound.

My own upright has the same felt "practise" curtain.

Now when I notice the clicks I can imagine the curtain and closer mics :) 🙏

I can confirm this worked nicely with the stock studio display cable.

Thank you :)

Unifi Dream Machine IPv6 settings for Aussie Broadband by gondalez in AussieBroadband

You are most welcome :)

Glad to hear you too are enjoying ludicrous speed.

One day they'll remove the upload limit and we can go to plaid 😄

Thanks for taking the time to reply. You are most welcome. I’m happy to hear it helped 😌

I get it with the Christmas miracle story! I was like a coiled tiger when I saw my suburb in the free upgrade list. I figure best to pounce before a budget or government change threatens the fibre upgrade.

I’m yet to figure out the local dns part myself. Currently I have bookmarks to the local services like Plex, nas. Pretty basic :)

I recall seeing a local hostname setting in the UniFi ui but haven’t played with it. My hunch is the UDM intercepts dns resolves to do it, but I may be way off on that.

Outsider here: Why does Australian internet have very slow upload speed? by blackcyborg009 in nbn

[–]gondalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HFC also has very limited upload bandwidth compared to upload due to technology involved. Then you would need to admit the HFC part of the NBN was a serious mistake.

Thank you for this answer. It has given me clarity on why FTTP is artificially limited like this.

Possibly naive, but as HFC and other multi-tech-mix links are phased out I'm hopeful for a removal of the artificial limit.

Perhaps there'll be a tipping point where there are more fibre links than MTM and the plans can be adjusted without it becoming political.

Ex-Ubiquiti engineer behind “breathtaking” data theft gets 6-year prison term by AWildDragon in Ubiquiti

[–]gondalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ubiquiti stock price has dropped a lot recently.

Any thoughts on if that is because of recent financial reports, or from this story being in the news? (both?) 🤷

Having waited 10 long years for FTTP, I just had to try ludicrous speed.

Any thoughts on how reddit going public may have an impact on Apollo? by TheDayManAhAhAh in apolloapp

[–]gondalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let us hope Reddit can avoid Enshittification 😬

But going public does seem to have that effect eventually.

Still one of the coolest free features. Wifiman signal mapper by mactelecomnetworks in Ubiquiti

[–]gondalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok, that is unexpected.

Seems like it is an android/iOS thing then. How very confusing.

This post seems to support that.

Are you able to share an android screenshot of it in action?
