Sorry I didn’t actually read it.

Yes Finder is the macOS analogue of the iOS Files app. As far as I can see Dropbox and Files are pretty similar too. iOS Dropbox lacks tags, though.

Sounds like Which‘s beef is with photo syncing. They think that the Photos app should be able to sync with clouds other than iCloud..?

What can’t you do on Dropbox that you can do with iCloud?

Dropbox seems to behave the same in Finder; you can add tags, organise, etc.

It’s all good now, thanks.

Yes, that's a 9V battery compartment.

Ok, I've just realised how blonde I've been: the volume/tone and pick-up selector knobs were stopping the control panel from lifting off. They just pull off and then all is fine.

Unfortunately, the switch and pot are soldered into the PCB board, which would make it a bit trickier to replace them. I'm pretty happy with soldering wires but I've never tackled a PCB board.

Thanks for the suggestion. The bit with the strings in is separate.

Here's a Dropbox link to a video of me gingerly pulling the control plate around (which wouldn't upload to Lemmy, in the OP). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v7n74q9m252hxrc17f7eb/IMG_0808.mp4?rlkey=qau7d4zum0qswswwngkivenvc&dl=0

I have a Donner Hush X and wanted to replace the pick-up selector switch.

I've unscrewed the control panel but it doesn't seem to lift off the guitar body. It might just be a bit stiff and need a little more heft; but I'm wondering if it's soldered to a PCB board and so can'e be opened up with out damaging things.

Has anyone inspected inside or found any YT videos or internal diagrams? I can't find any.

TIA 👍

Yamaha makes lots of other musical instruments too.

The thing that puzzles me is that the Yamaha logo, 3 tuning forks, makes sense for instruments that you tune. But I’ve only seen it on their motorbikes.

This all probably sounds nuts, but here are my oil systems:

I wash out and recycle glass jars, but peanut butter jars are difficult to clean and will end up getting fat into the water system. So I keep the peanut butter jars for oil.

I also keep a bendy, steel decorating pallet in the kitchen for scraping out fat from the grill tray and rack. You’re left with some fat that you can wipe off with kitchen paper, which you can also use to wipe the pallet knife. Then washing up liquid and a splash of boiling water from the kettle.

There can be quite a lot of oil in leftover food, like sauces, too. I use a silicone spatula to scoop it off before washing.

They told me at school that ‘p’ meant ‘negative log’. So ‘pH’ means ‘the negative log of the concentration of Hydrogen ions in moles/litre’.

pH 1 is 1 x 10^-1^ (strong acid)

pH 7 is 1 x 10^-7^ (neutral)

pH 14 is 1 x 10^-14^ (alkaline)

(Chemistry was a long time ago, though)

We have trams in the city where I work. Two problems have been: 1 cyclists having accidents when wheels get trapped in the tracks 2. Reliability problems because if a tram beaks down the whole line is interrupted.
