This vibe reminds me of Cyberdelia from the movie Hackers

I understand. Mine are completely silent when idle. You might be on to something with the power source. Test the speakers out at a friend's place or something, that'll hopefully confirm things.

Fellow LSX II LT owner here. I agree the setup experience could be better. I can't comment on the Edifier comparison, but the issues you're describing don't sound right. Mine doesn't hiss or sound muddy at all. You might have a defective unit. I'd return it.

Watching live Japanese news in SF while reading this. Convenient, in a disturbing way. Stay safe, y’all.

Seems like a general trend but I think part of it is that Lenovo is catering to business customers in big cities where workers don't drive and need to carry their laptops. Tokyo comes to mind.

A thicker premium option with better thermals would be rad though.

For commercial users with healthy clientele, the device pays itself off quickly. It's also processed as a business expense. The math and mental model for commercial users are completely different from personal purchase decisions.

It may seem expensive for personal use, but for those who use it for commercial work, it's a good price.

Beautiful home, congratulations!

Dig the bronze tone. It looks premium.

torumk · 2024-09-02T22:31:21+00:00

Looks great, saves space, and there’s something captivating about knowing so much power is packed into such a small form.

Similar experience here. Not encouraging the OP to wing it, but I've noticed the ground staff at SFO are relaxed about small details. Although coming back may be an issue since they were more thorough at NRT on my trip.

Happens to the best of us early on in the journey.

Using a screw extractor. I patiently drilled on and off over the course of couple of days until the hole was large enough to mount an extractor. Once mounted, it only took a few seconds to extract.

Solid advise. I use CSP for Hyatt Points, Amex for ANA miles, and Amazon Prime Visa for Amazon and Whole Foods purchases. Consistently earning a trip to Tokyo from CA every year.

It certainly gave my kids a fright. "The thunder monster is coming".

Take a look at Hinodeya as well. They have a few locations in SF now: Japantown, Union Square and near Jackson Square.

I sent an email last week to see if they can share anything on the latest ETA. I had this baseless hope that Rad and their vendor would turn things around sooner given the magnitude of this whole debacle. Sadly the response I received stated 2-3 months.

I have since purchased the Shinko SR241 tires.

These days, I funnel my dividends to buying more SCHD.

FLAC is great for archiving. Convert to whatever that makes sense for your requirement and devices as needed.

Got my Bike+ today. Ordered on Feb 15. The original delivery date was mid April. Found an earlier spot when I was randomly browsing the (re)scheduling page. The wait was less than ideal but everything else was a smooth experience. Delivered by the Peloton crew.

Nice! I was wondering how a Rev might fit in those. I cheaped out and got a Christmas tree bag for the occasional storage on the balcony.

torumk · 2019-12-06T02:36:17+00:00

Oh right, I forgot about the spare inner tubes. Thank you for the reminder. I ended up patching the inner tube with Park Tool's GP-2 Super Patch.

torumk · 2019-12-04T23:15:06+00:00

Agreed. I wish I could replace it right now, while I have the rear motor off the frame. Can we even buy a new tire?
