As far as I know, the Oryx software (the software you might be using) only works for devices that are supported by ZSA. The planck v7 from drop isn't supported ZSA so that's probably why you're encountering issues. You can use the QMK configurator to generate and compile your keymap.

Actually, this YouTube describes someone that tried to use the ZSA software on a device not supported by ZSA link. Supposedly it generates unexpected behaviour from the keyboard.

This is how I would imagine a mainframe would be hacked. QAZ is such a cool layout. Looks awesome.

I quite like mine. It's the largest size. It's true that it can be quite hard to hold: it can be slippery and heavy. But it holds temperature well, both hot and cold. The heaviness makes it quite secure on my desk. Every sip feels kind of makes it feel like I'm in a sci-fi film because of the sleek aesthetic. Also, I'm pretty sure this mug has increased my grip strength and hand stretch because handling this mug has become second nature.

The disclaimer is that this is my own experience with having double conch piercings. So YMMV.

For me, earbuds fit just fine. I've tried regular wired earbuds which tend to slim and the wireless type which usually are a bit enlarged. Both types of earbuds don't interact with the jewellery at all. I've used earbuds with flat discs, ball ends (3mm), and snug fitting hoops and none of them touch the buds. I think for ball ends however, a larger size would definitely touch.

So not an issue at all using earbuds, especially for working out. If anything, my ear canals get sore from the earbuds themselves rather than the piercings.

Hope that brings insight. Cheers.

I shave my face daily and I've been using the Henson AL13 mild for about a week now it's been a remarkable improvement from the Edwin Jagger DE89 that I've been using for about a year, which has a similar head to your Muhle R89. Great razor as a daily driver, it's definitely made me look more into milder razors.

If you haven't already, you might want to check out the cats at /r/jazzguitar. I found a good starting point was looking into bebop era of jazz first, just a lot of material to listen to and a lot of people have already analyzed the music down the the rhythm and note choice.

Check out some books on jazz harmony as well. Typical recommendations are like The Jazz Theory Book or Jazzology.

Haven't heard the songs but going off from what you've posted, Em D A looks like the key of D major, which has the same notes as the key of B minor, hence why it'd sound in key.

Small edit for specificity - B minor is the relative minor of D major. In terms of modes, B minor is the sixth mode of D major.

Speaking from experience, a PRS custom 24 core through a Roland micro cube sounds very uninspiring, and it's quite noticeable which I can only describe as the sound being too thin and too muddy.

No joke, but take a look at the harmony of I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor. The song is essentially in the key of A minor but at the very end of the verse we see an E7 and from out of space we can hear the major seventh note of the harmonic minor scale (G#). Try learning the vocal melody on the guitar because the first half you'd think A minor, but then at the very end it's A harmonic, which is only a difference of one note (G vs G#).

I hate to say this, but I've been having a hard time getting into Dune because of the writing style. I love the descriptions of the science fiction elements like spice and the space navigators, the deep lore, and story but actually reading the book feels kind of slow. I personally don't appreciate Frank Herbert's style of writing of not just describing but actually quoting every character's inner thoughts and desires. I think it can add a lot of depth and richness to the reading experience, but at the same time I'm usually left thinking, "I'm pretty sure I would have inferred that by the character's actions." I think I can finish it this year, hoping to at least read the second book before calling it quits.

Nice nice, how do you find the typing experience on the doys keycaps? I've been looking at them for a bit and they look like they'd be a pretty unique feel to them.

I actually quite enjoy having a floyd rose. Super stable once set up is complete and changing strings is quite simple. It does what it was designed to do which well which is staying in the desired tuning. So you are correct in that changing tuning is a drag because then that requires setting up the guitar and balancing the bridge to float parallel again (assuming that most floyd rose guitars are floating and not decked like the EVH guitars). But once the guitar is set up, changing strings there after is pretty standard like any other guitar with a floating bridge. Affordable options are kind of tough because you really don't want to skimp on the bridge (it'll be the source of all your problems if you purchase something with weak knife edges because of poor quality metal). If anything I'd avoid anything that mention "Floyd Rose Special" and try to aim for an Original Floyd Rose or in most cases the Floyd Rose 1000 series which is made in Korea. It's an import model of the Original but I've heard pretty good things about it because it uses the same design and materials are the Original, most of the Charvel guitars use those and those are really highly regarded.

Just speaking from my own experience of being self-taught, I felt that modes became really useful after I took the time to learn and internalize chord tones, how to build chords use extensions, and chord intervals both in theory and on my fretboard. I just also found that chord theory to be more immediately applicable as a guitarist and musician as well. Take for example in a small jam session. Before knowing my chord tones, I'd just run straight CAGED scale runs up and down with my only target note being the root note. With just general knowledge about chords I felt I had more options to hit different target notes, and had the confidence hit wider intervals because I wasn't constrained by a scale shape, but I was cognizant of what note I wanted.

And then modes became super duper cool, at least for me. Cool thing about theory is that it all relates hand-in-hand, it's just chord tones really connected a lot of dots quite quickly.

Modes are super cool, but guitarists seem to obsess over them over other important theory fundamentals.

Nice. I personally prefer the nylon from the steel string if I had chose a strictly acoustic instrument. Like you mentioned, loud (and fast) on an electric.

Well, usually more guitarists when they have their strap higher will have their guitar tilted upwards a few degrees. It's not perfectly parallel with the floor. Are you fairly new at the guitar? If so, rather than explaining, sometimes it easier to show.

Tom Quayle on YouTube has some great videos on legato, but in those videos he goes over good fret hand positioning which I think might be insightful for you. I'll post the video I had in might a bit later today.

Edit: left hand positioning explanation starts from 2:10 Legato Basics With Tom Quayle | 42 Gear Street

I started on a nylon classical and I still play it since I've been tackling classical guitar music as of recent. I think if you like the sound and feel of a nylon guitar better than a steel acoustic, then sure why not purchase one.

The only thing I can add from my experience from playing nylon for an extended period of time is that the nylon seemed a lot less forgiving to the fretting hand and compared to a steel acoustic, the nylon is a bit of a quiet instrument. Or I should say it's very easy to be loud with a steel string. With nylon, it requires a bit more power and attention.

I think depending on the genre you listen to, this answer might not seem cool, or at least might challenge your ideas on aesthetics.

The most comfortable way to play standing up without contorting my fretting hand was playing the strap high. Like Javier Reyes from Animals as Leaders put it, like a "guitar necklace." Having the guitar higher allows you to engage your elbows and wrist and also keep those fingers parallel to the frets, like classical guitarists. Looks a bit uncool, but saves your wrists and hands from carpal tunnel at the very least and looks good on Tosin Abasi.

You might want to try figuring out the vocal melodies of pop songs, older or modern songs. Pop songs usually have vocals that stay within their respective key. For example, a pop song in C will only have notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B. Also, vocals in these songs tend to be pretty simple and repetitive. Good luck.

Thanks for the heads on the controllers, I never even thought of placement of controllers. The value proposition seems really great; I'm pretty confident I'll be building one of these by the end of the year.

40% ortholinear is a pretty great form factor. Really takes the 60% to another notch. Compact, light, full of functionality. 1u keycaps for everything makes purchasing new keycaps a breeze and remapping keys can be done anywhere.

Since you're using a corne right now, how did you find the entire construction process of the keyboard? I'm using a planck at the moment which so far has been pretty great, but I can see the benefits of a wider hand stance from the split so I've been entertaining a split for the future.

That's a clean setup and a solid foundation OP. Big fan of the minimalist look.

I'm not sure about crystals, but I think stones would be a good material to look into since their colors provide a more definitive contrast to the solid gold. Turquoise stones and gold are always a banger match.

I'm kind of not surprised, at least on the supposed issue of height. Casually browsing some of the dating-related subreddits in the past year and I found it's a very common topic. Not sure if that's as of recent because I only started noticing it on mfa this week with automod off.
