Are the knobs mismatched as well as the machine heads? Could this have been a theme? 😁

I've just remembered something I meant to say earlier. Yes, mistakes are transient. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. However, I do try and make a mental note of them, as one-off mistakes can be indicators that something needs some extra work (notably endings), and if they get repeated gig after gig they're definitely indicators of a problem.

Well, duh. That's why you've got a girlfriend.

I'm in full agreement with following the singer, almost all the time. In one former band, the singer would do verses and choruses at random, and was quite likely to start a verse before the end of the guitar solo. The exception was when playing "Maria" with Mrs Zero singing, when somehow she managed to get herself into a loop. About the fourth time round, I started singing what should have come next and extracted us, otherwise we'd still be there.

I've had far worse in terms of someone looking bored. It was a barn dance that we were playing in a village hall. The stage had some steps leading up to it, front and centre. My then teenaged stepson Sub Zero was bored and lay on the top step of said steps, playing games on his phone. Well, at least he did for one dance, until I told him to bugger off.

And for the headstock to be the same as on that ACG.

Either I've never been in a decent band, or that's a load of old bollocks.

This still requires that the hacker can get hold of the file of password hacks.

You mean when they get a bum deal?

This could be very useful when playing to a click, to help you feel it as well as hear it:

Two, but the second one won't be on stage (or the allotted corner of the pub), it'll be close by (or in the corner of the allotted corner). Though I might swap at half-time to see if anyone's paying attention.

Especially with mail order brides.

"Here, would anyone like to play the tambourine?"

Yes, it's all your fault. 😁

The first one looks like the most likely candidate - the second one presumably has some sort of crossover, the third one is aimed at truckers with an available 24V (although using a USB-C controller to give you 20V would probably work). Input sensitivity is about the right level to run off an instrument or effects pedal.

Which seems primarily concerned with making passwords hard to guess - which would be irrelevant if the primary form of attack was brute force. After all, "Pa$$word" and "Grea7 Gr33n 4rke$eizure£" would be equivalent in terms of a brute force attack, but I would guess that the NCSC would be rather more critical of the first than the second. For brute force attacks to be successful, the attacker needs two things - first, the actual password hash file, and second, enough time before the leaking of the hash file is discovered to go through the file and generate the hashes. If the organisation being attacked is honest and releases the information that the password file is out there as soon as it knows, the time between the initial leak and users changing their passwords is all that the hacker has. As an extra precaution to slow down the attacker, the hash file could also contain a high proportion of dummy users with password hashes generated at random. That would throw an extra bit of grit in the hacker's works.

The second piece has a very high infill and lots of perimeters which presumably why it would take so long to print. TBH it seems more like a "because I can" than "because it's a good idea" project. You could drill honeycomb holes in a piece of wood in much less than four days if it was the look you were after.

I don't use mine much - we've just started gigging, target is around 20-30 gigs a year, so when I do play around with it at home I want to operate it as I would at a gig. It takes about 30 seconds to switch network to either the X-Air itself or the Mikrotik.

I think you must have changed it or it's not the hAP mini that I'm using [1] - the default WAP IP address is 192.168.88.1 ( just checked the manual to make sure I'd got it right this time). [1] Well, obviously it's not the one I'm using, but YKWIM

Apologies, the 192.168.88.x was because I'm using a Mikrotik mini WAP.

Isn't it 192.168.88.x?

Tuning using harmonics is actually very slightly inaccurate, as the equal temperament fifth isn't 1.5 times the frequency of the fundamental (it's 1.49831 times). It's only a slight inaccuracy but carried across all five strings then it builds up. If you only play a 4-string then it doesn't matter, of course.

What BRX said. Odds are it will be a stereo barrel jack. These should be regarded as consumables. You will find life simpler if the leads are long enough to be able to pull the socket far enough out of the bass body to get to the terminals (but don't forget to thread the nut onto the leads before reassembly), and if they're not, consider extending them a bit for future convenience. Switchcraft are often recommended but they do cost an absolute fortune.

The battery positive isn't connected to the signal. There would generally be a capacitor on the preamp output to block DC anyway. With a SPDT switch, the ground could be connected to either the battery negative or the signal via the switch, which would mean the battery wouldn't drain if it was left plugged in with the switch switched to off.
