Used to work with an Australian woman who described her headlights as on full beam on a cold day in the UK

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.

Donner Hush X—has anyone here removed the control panel? [SOLVED] in c/guitars

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 👍

The problem is that you can’t send from Hide My Email, except in a reply.

I use it a lot but if I think that I’ll need to contact by email by the HME address, I use one of my AppleID aliases.

And it still doesn’t have a formula for the standard error of the mean.
