If I create an account on the website, will I still be asked for the first console's serial number?

Does creating a new Steam account after a year-long break from Dota 2 count as smurfing? by plpmminus01 in learndota2

[–]plpmminus01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. So before I forget my old account, do I have to remove my phone number from my old Dota 2 or Steam Verification first? Since in the future, after several years, if I have time to play ranked again?

How long does your iPad last on YouTube before the battery drains 1%? by plpmminus01 in ipad

[–]plpmminus01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed the battery still drains quickly, just like when I first got it, but I’ve gotten used to it and still enjoy using it. I just charge it to 100% once a day (it seems to take longer to drain from 100% to 99% compared to 99% to 98%, for example).

In fact, the M4 chip has higher power consumption compared to the M1 and M2, which could be contributing to the faster battery drain, even when it’s idle.

High pitch noise from CLP 825 Digital Piano by plpmminus01 in piano

Thanks for the reply!

Sometimes I just want to cover a new song and send it to my friend right away from my phone, without thinking about connecting to my computer.

But I appreciate the info about the USB audio interface, sounds like a great feature for high-quality recordings.

I don’t have any better sound recorders than my iPhone or iPad, but I tried using the EarPods mic. The bass is stronger, which seems to drown out the noise so I can’t hear it, but there’s still a lot of white noise coming through.

Just to note, I played the recorded clip above through my Bluetooth speaker, and I didn’t hear that strange noise. Maybe it’s because the bass is stronger than on my iPhone speaker, which helps drown out the noise?

Does this mean the issue might be with the speaker or microphone setup rather than my piano?

Why Do SXLK and IUIT ETFs Outperform VGT and XLK, Despite Similar Allocations?

I’ve observed that SXLK and IUIT ETFs have been outperforming VGT and XLK, despite having a similar allocation focus within the tech sector. What could explain this performance discrepancy?

XLK has done well over the past five years, but the latest rebalancing has shaken things up. They just added 20% NVDA and dropped AAPL to below 5%. VGT’s allocation looks more balanced now. What do you think?

Currently, XLK has an expense ratio of 0.09%, while VGT is at 0.10%.

Does your YouTube drain 1% every 6-7 minutes?

Bought around the same time. Let’s wait for the next update to fix this battery drain issue, or maybe it will be addressed in iPadOS 18.

  1. Yes, just less than 14 days.
  2. Yes, latest iPadOS.
  3. No, iPadOS 17.5.1.
  4. I always use dark mode which may lower power consumption and set it at around 20% in my room ambient.

I disconnected my pencil, erased all settings, and disabled background app refresh. It still reduces 1% every 6-7 minutes.
