“Acoustic” is just silly, “analog” isn’t much better. I’d call them “mechanical”.

Same here with KDE Plasma. Also GPU usage, and CPU/GPU/SDDs/Wifi card temperatures.

> a terrible singer Too many people express this belief. It does not seem plausible, statistically. I wonder what made it so widespread.

I like this use of “telepathic” as sharing emotions, rather than thoughts, at a distance.

Oil on Canvas, gosh. Their final masterpiece before David Sylvian would go on to make those incredible solo records.

“Casa” and “A Day in New York” are among the most beautiful bossa nova records I know of.

Only Yamaha and Kawai make both acoustic and digital pianos. Both make expensive, cabinet digital pianos with grand piano-like actions. Yamaha caps action quality as you say, Kawai does not, and is the only one making a stage piano with a g

I’ve owned Roland, Casio, and mostly Yamaha digital pianos, but since I tried a Kawai MP11SE, my hands won’t settle for anything less. I own an MP11 now: same action, fewer sounds, still good enough.

Agreed. It’s also the easiest way to improve latency and fix bufferbloat. Unfortunately not all Merlin-supported routers support the CAKE algorithm. My choices are the RT-AC86U, and the RT-AX68U if you need Wifi 6 support. Don’t get the RT
