audio-talk

I've been up to my neck in diy, my daughter completed her house sale in September, since then I've piped up her house and fitted the radiators just awaiting for my mate to fit the new central heating boiler. The last 3 werks spent stripping out and refitted the bathroom, moving an internal wall and...

Went to a talk last night given by Anthony Seldon about the Via Sacra/Western Front Way - a 1,000km walking/cycling route that he's championed and hopes will become a new Camino... Extraordinary man: deeply thoughtful, compassionate & intelligent. We need more people like him. I've heard him spe...

Never really liked no clean stuff - cleaning is easy with a cotton bud and some IPA.

The general thinking is that leaving the board uncleaned is not a great plan in the long term as the contaminants can cause leakage etc.

Tonight's reading. Interesting that there's a workshop manual specifically for the fact that they tend to leak like a sieve...

Expensive result... but a result nonetheless...

So, settled on a Lindy 43308V2 5mtr active cable as: it's from a real company that you can talk to and who is in the UK (and Germany), they designed the cable (it's not some generic white-labelled bit of stuff), they test every cable before sending it out, they can tell you exactly what it does and ...

Ditto

Nor did I until this issue came up!!

Yes the active cooling fan is noisy, very irritating pitch. Ive found the official case fan is a bit more acceptable, lower in pitch and a bit quieter… I had to remove the fan from the heatsink and rotate the case fan housing and fan 180deg so it would fit… Just done the same thing - good call - bi...

Found a workaround with:
$ sudo cat > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_stat

Then type 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 (4 full speed, 0 is off) to set the fan

Looks like there might be a fix:

Back on topic: there's going to be a market for silent, better quality, fans. The official one is really grating...
