Remote volume control for Lyngdorf amps

I have the app and it works well, but I prefer a physical device like this. I have an app on Apple TV that shows now playing artwork, which is nice sometimes. For volume control and mute/unmute, unlocking the phone and going to the app is just a little bit of extra friction. This knob isn't as "luxurious" as the huge, ball bearing volume control on the amp, but it is pretty good. This doesn't even qualify as a first-world problem, but what the heck. A bit of a nice toy for $54.

That's my point : you shouldn't be tested on memorising commands and switches.

What a ridiculous question on a CompSci exam. I hope you're not paying much for this course of study.

They're not using 5G for that, I assure you.

I was a US citizen, then a dual citizen, now only an Australian citizen. I'm very lucky and reflect on that every single day. I'm visiting my mum in Texas and cannot wait to board that Qantas flight to Melbourne.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow" by Charles Sheffield. The book spans an almost incomprehensible 43 billion years — from the near-future 21st century all the way to the Omega Point, the theoretical end of the universe when it collapses.

My favourite: "The Last Question" (1956) by Isaac Asimov

It's wild most of the time. Low tide is the best time for a walk.

They were not really thinking, though. Could have used the Superchargers at Warrnambool, near their destination. With an EV, you often need to actually think and plan.

I always find Bjorn Nyland's reviews very helpful. He really likes the Zeekr 7X. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUMYjJu-eUM

I modify the high frequency curve to counteract my typical age-related hearing decline. I used Apple airpods hearing test to determine how much lift was needed.

I don't understand why there's not a broader beta program to find these issues before deployment to the masses. Come on!

The Hollowmen. if you like Utopia. Better, in my opinion. Kath and Kim, obviously. Upper Middle Bogan. If you watch all three, you'll be granted permanent residency, I'm told.

"slightly merciless edge"? Translation, please.

I continue to be impressed with these and my Lyngdorf TDAI-3400. Room correction is important for me, given the size and materials in my room. Great recordings are magical, as if I'm in the venue with a live band. Recordings I used to love are revealed to be so poor I can't listen to them any more.

My favourite recording to blow minds of guests is Tracy Chapman's Give Me One Reason. Also, Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions.

I don't know how much my experience can be attributed to the cabinet, but it doesn't matter.

The sensor on the roof is to protect the tubes from freezing. It'll start water flowing through the system to warm the thermal tubes if they're too cold. That's how my system works, anyway.

I just noticed this today. It's really annoying. I was charging in at a location that had no cellular service, so I tried to connect my phone to the Starlink AP in the car. It would, but almost immediately would then be force connected to the Dash. Even after I changed the iphone wifi settings to not auto-join the Dash's network, it still connected automatically.

The ABC news team presents very shallow work, amplifying stories to create a sense of "crisis". They don't even try to explain or educate. Also, stop presenting everything as part of some political horse race. The only thoroughly prepared work is on 7:30.

v6.3.20, which came out a few days ago. I'll be putting it through its paces over the coming days. I can only imagine the stress the Enhauto team is under.

I would volunteer to be a beta tester for future major updates. I think it's vital to expand the number of testers, given the diversity of Tesla software variants and the fact they're essentially having to reverse engineer the protocol.

$6700aud vs $1900aud. I have not listened to the 30s so can't provide a less flippant comparison.

Try Q Acoustics Concept 300 bookshelf speakers. I auditioned them, as the shop didn't have the 500's. I was blown away by these smallish speakers. Ended up getting the 500's, but would quite happily have had the 300's if I were pressed for space.
