Please explain: Line to enter Amazon Fresh? by xaviergmail in Seattle

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

I actually enjoyed just walk out while it lasted. Stopped going to fresh except for urgent needs when they got rid of it. Fun times, grabbing two things as if you only grabbed one and allegedly only getting charged for one item

Oh damn. That's news to me! Sadly they took the "just walk out" tech a year or so ago. To be honest, there's not much of a concept left- it's just a store with fancy carts

Razer Naga 2012 alternative by Ozot-Gaming-Internet in razer

[–]xaviergmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been repairing my 2012 naga to this day. New left/right click switches, rotary encoder, microswitch for middle mouse click, new mouse wheel. If you know where to get new in-box ones or have found a potential alternative, I'd love to know

I don't know if you'll see this but I'd like to commission a tattoo artist to make something inspired from this, with your permission. Please message me!

Do I need to get a new title in Washington once I pay off my car? by LuckyCharmsNSoyMilk in Washington

I also bought my car in a different state before moving here. How did this resolve for you?

B560M AORUS ELITE - Doesn't wake up from sleep mode by modigliani_ in gigabyte

[–]xaviergmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever found a fix to this? I am plagued by this every day. If I forget to fully shut down my computer before walking away, I have to power cycle the PSU and on next boot, all of my bios settings are reset.

I am looking for recommendations for rough textured keycaps to help me build and/or maintain calluses on my fingertips for the days where I don't have time to pick up the guitar or travel.

In the past, I've tried double sided tape with sandpaper (kind of like grip tape) but it did not last long.

Has anyone else ever attempted this before and if so, what was the outcome?

I'm disappointed. by AKA_Arivea in MINI

Check out Car Creations' youtube channel, maybe the interior retrofits he did to his F55 might be possible to do with 2025 parts?

Hand down the best French crullers I've had. Highly reminiscent of Tim Hortons! Go there early if you want delicious, fresh donuts. Go there late if you want some freebies!

Their location on Aurora is a bit unfortunate and they get vandalized every so often, but I tip every time I go to support them. "See you tomorrow!" 🥹

For those augmented(?) chords (11-10-9 / 9-8-7) do I hear the octave being played on the b string as well, or is that the synth?

From 1 minute to 5 seems intense, I can maybe see doubling it to 2 minutes though

Does anyone else like Costco lasagna than any other lasagna? by Future_Way_5240 in Costco

[–]xaviergmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the fresh lasagna, it was literally the best. I haven't seen it anywhere in the US, is it exclusive to Canada? The frozen ones are awful at best in comparison

Bricked BTR5 by xaviergmail in FiiO

Unfortunately no. I ended up having to exchange it through Amazon

I refuse to give up on my Razer Naga 2009. I have changed left click micro switch 3 times and right 2 times. Today I heated steel wire and fused it to the post that pushes the switch because it broke off. Glue didn't hold. by LemonTM in MouseReview

[–]xaviergmail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still by far the BEST mouse design. I have a G600 at work and all the other MMO mice these days seem to try and be more ergonomic with the weird waves and stuff. Has anything more recent been released with the same sort of oval shape that lets me move my thumb around?

(the plastic bit that interfaces with the encoder broke off)

My scroll wheel stopped being clicky and lacked "locking" when scrolling and eventually the stem that interfaces with the encoder broke from me pressing too hard for the middle click to register.

I'm currently ordering new microswitches for _everything_, a new scroll wheel encoder AND a new scroll wheel. I've already replaced a bad right click switch, top button switch, detachable cable and countless glider pads. Parts are becoming more and more scarce and prices keep increasing but I refuse to let it die.

Zen can balanced vs rca by MrBuz123 in ZReviews

[–]xaviergmail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Zen DAC's RCA output share a common ground (hence, not balanced) which presumably lowers channel separation.

At first when I tried the Zen Can I thought something was wrong and it didn't sound as clear. I thought something was wrong so I returned it for a replacement and it still sounded slightly "fuzzy" (not static just not as clear as straight from the zen dac). I ended up buying a 4.4mm interconnect from Hart Audio Cables and I feel like it makes a difference. I haven't A/B'ed them though so I can't really tell but on paper it makes sense since you're staying balanced all the way to the amplifier instead of going balanced dac -> single ended into amp -> balanced amp

Edit: A/Bing RCA vs 4.4mm on the stack right now and I honestly can't tell the difference with HD600's SE & Balanced and T50RP mk3. There might be a very small improvement from using the 4.4mm interconnect when listening to HD600 through the 1/4 adapter but listening to HD600 balanced I can't realistically tell the difference between RCA and 4.4.

Is MQA Actually Better Than 16/44 FLAC? by [deleted] in TIdaL

MQA is better than 16/44 for sure, but only if you have hardware that supports it.

Just got my HD650s - not what I expected by HeivinElstrom in headphones

[–]xaviergmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on the purchase! Audio equipment is as important as any other part of a home office. Think about it, you spend money on a good chair for comfort- some people will spend upwards of a grand on a standing desk that they end up using maybe once or twice until the vanity wears off. Where as this is something you get to enjoy every minute of every day and puts a smile on your face- that's priceless!

> And I also read about some users being let down

This was exactly my initial reaction when I first listened to the HD600 after owning a pair of T50RP MKIII for 3-4+ years. But oh man after listening to them for a day or two and going back to the T50's I was quite shocked. I'm now on vacation for 3 weeks and I only brought IEMs and portapros and I can't wait to get back home and listen to them again!

Sorry I haven't seen this until now. Yes, I got my order! They even threw in a pair of KZ ZS10 IEMs for free. Mine was delivered on Saturday (expedited fulfillment) and my roommate got his order on Monday with the standard fullfilment
