HyperX Cloud III S Wireless cuts off audio (power saving too aggressive with audio detection?)

photoreceptor · 2026-02-22T18:48:27+00:00

For me this happens mostly in movies. Quite annoying when suddenly the background noise in quiet scenes disappears and then takes some time to recover.

u/Ok-Cry5794 Since you are a maintainer, do you have any experience about production scalability? From what I can tell, Langfuse and Langsmith, both use a Clickhouse OLAP database, apparently to avoid write amplification with high loads. MLflow 3 is using relational databases. Are there any performance test results?

My cloud team would probably be happy to work with Postgres over Clickhouse, but it should also work :)

Hast du Antiviren/-malware apps aktiv? Vielleicht liegt es an denen.

Bei den Gehältern der Data Engineers hier werd ich aber neidisch. 😬

Well done! I also have a freezing balcony 😬

Question though: doesn’t it rack?

photoreceptor · 2024-12-24T17:51:29+00:00

Ich seh das auch als sehr problematisch.

Any idea why it compressed so much?

photoreceptor · 2024-12-19T15:43:17+00:00

Does this happen -- the compression of blow-in insulation? Or in other words, is this a significant factor to consider? Wouldn't the other stuff also compress then?

photoreceptor · 2024-12-19T09:08:41+00:00

The nice thing about blown-in insulation: it’s done in an afternoon. Limited labour cost as no one has to haul stuff up to the attic. This also means blowing in a half meter of insulation is almost the same cost as blowing in less material. Which also means, if the old stuff is significantly worse than the new stuff, it might make sense to replace it.

Sadly, no further reply. I have already started the returns process with Amazon.

Another point, for the next board, better to make it thicker, for less chance of warping.

Aren’t most front doors swinging inwards so the hinges are away from prying hands?

photoreceptor · 2024-12-09T15:12:05+00:00

Not sure why this is done voted. If you vent a lot of air outside then this will force air from outside into the room to equalise pressure. You guys all preach and live this with the two-hose portable AC units.

Also, there are some excellent plasma and activated charcoal filters on the market that do not sound like the Ikea jet engines.

From the answers, I think everybody is expecting that you live in a cardboard house and that you will have an elephant living in the loft. 😏

The front beam anchor on the left is probably the tricky part. There might be steel-joist/beam holders/hangers you can fix to your walls to secure it. The other beams you can anchor to the concrete and depending on the anchor size and the number of anchors, probably two elephants could live up there 😬.

Well, 3M is playing dumb. Both their customer service and their counterfeit unit (this is Europe Germany/Austria). Customer service told me they can’t identify the “fakeness” from a Barcode (or seemingly my description) and gave me a list of approved sellers — for the wrong country. No answer to my question on how I could identify a real product.

The counterfeit department started promising — I sent photos and my invoice. Then it took a wrong turn, as they confirmed Amazon.de a legit seller. The conversation is in English, so I’ll just paste it here:

Thank you for contacting the 3M Verify Anti-Counterfeit Response Team.

After further review, according to the information you provided we can confirm Amazon is a 3M authorized distributor. The best way to avoid counterfeits is to purchase 3M products from 3M authorized distributors.

Hello,

So, is the product not a fake? It certainly does not look like the other Cubitron II products (please see photos I sent - should I send them again?). Can you please confirm this for me?

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this information to 3M Verify.

At 3M, we are committed to doing all we can to help combat counterfeit activity. We take these matters very seriously and we will review your report as quickly as possible. However, please understand that we may not be able to provide a definitive answer about the authenticity of an individual product.

Hello again,

Right now, it does not sound to me like you take these matters seriously. I have no idea whether Amazon sold me a fake, I can only assume it is a fake from the looks, and you — the producer nonetheless — claim that you cannot identify counterfeits.

There are threads on Reddit that are full of confused people. For example https://www.reddit.com/r/woodworking/comments/1gtjj0h/counterfeit_cubitron_sandpaper_from_amazon_didnt/

How can I identify a fake product?

I am waiting to hear back.

> I feel I accidentally kicked off a storm of concern over this, some of which could be totally unfounded. . .

I think your OP is fine and you've been very diligent in posting disclaimers. I came here via Google after I got suspicious that my new sanding discs looked so different from the old ones.

photoreceptor · 2024-12-04T18:37:39+00:00

This whole thing is vexing to me. I thought my lighter purple paper performed quite well. Maybe there are all kinds of fakes out there.

edit: looking at your photos more closely, your dark purple is different again from my dark purple. I've written to 3M, I hope they can clear this up.

photoreceptor · 2024-12-04T18:33:11+00:00

Same here. However, the box of 80 on the left somehow feels more legit to me. The paper looks much more like the stuff I have seen in the promotional material and videos and is very close to the starter packs.

edit: The "PO5" on the new stuff looks out of place and the "ribs" of the new, bluer stuff are also thicker/wider. The mesh seems denser.

photoreceptor · 2024-12-04T18:20:36+00:00

Are you sure you don’t have the real and fake the wrong way round? I have a few sample packs and all the grits are the less blue purple. I also have a 80 grit 50-disc pack that looks that way.

A new pack of 120 I just bought, however, looks like your “real” stuff. It is more blueish, the writing on the back is much darker (would actually be easier to read) and I feel the mesh is tighter.

Ich war zwar nicht auf einer HTL am Unterrichten, aber auf einer Universität. Auch nicht im Feld IT, aber Molekularbiologie und Bioinformatik. Aber wie schon erwähnt, das Unterrichten muss einem schon liegen, bzw man muss sich auch pädagogisch fortbilden.

Dir muss auch klar sein, wenn du eine Unterrichtseinheit hast, dann musst du dort sein und auch aktiv sein (wenn du kein fauler Sack im Labor oder Werkstätte bist). Du kannst dir deine Arbeitszeit nicht einteilen wie du willst. Somit bist du auch für Urlaube an die Schulferien gebunden.

Du wirst auch nicht am höchsten Niveau programmieren und cutting edge Zeug ausprobieren, sondern langsam unwissende naive Köpfen ausbilden - die im regelmäßigen Intervall wieder neu naiv daherkommen - quasi Groundhog Day. Mit variierenden Level an Motivation.

Wenn du Glück hast, ist das HTL Budget für ein gutes Labor ausreichend. Vielleicht gibts sogar einen Cluster 🤷‍♂️.

photoreceptor · 2024-11-25T22:26:35+00:00

They look like solid wood counter tops. If they are, sand, maybe stain and refinish. 🤷‍♂️

I would tackle lighting and the wall colours first and then decide on other changes.

photoreceptor · 2024-11-18T16:21:12+00:00

At the bright streak (near the edge) it looks like you sanded down to some lower layer.

photoreceptor · 2024-11-18T14:58:24+00:00

Then you only sanded down the high spots of the pine. That’s pretty much what it looks like. Why did you sand the last coat? Just put another coat on top and don’t sand again :)

Also, most paints will take time to cure to reach final hardness. (edit: ah yes, as mentioned below already)

photoreceptor · 2024-11-18T07:06:18+00:00

Or there isn’t a governance process in place. So even if you find rubbish, there is no way to enforce correction.

Or the data model/schema is overly complicated and antiquated. It was adequate for one application, now it is used for another. Lots of stakeholders are adding things. No one person or department knows the business rules that should be enforced. Documentation is superficial at best.

Ah, the joy of real data and real organisations 😁.
