The Shitty Logitech Squeezebox Radio

Ok, not all shitty once it actually works, but there's a problem with it's software (drivers) or wireless hardware, atleast in combination with my Netgear router.

With WMM enabled, things are really shitty... The Squeezebox shows meta information and browsing the directories is almost not shitty. It's experiencing general slowness and lag. Response to Squeezeboxserver remote commands are kind of random. And audio just doesn't play at all... On one occasion I saw the "Buffering" message reach a staggering 2%. Wow, that's only 98% shitty!

So, turning off WMM (Wireless MultiMedia extension support) in the router seems to fix the issue.

I've never had a problem until now with this on any of the 10-20 devices that's ever been hooked up to my router.

I'm going to say it again, if you have a similar wireless issue on your Shitty Logitech Squeezebox Radio - turn of WMM in your router.

Nokia N900 headset white M+ lead broken

So, after some reading about why my N900 didn't detect my headset as a headset I opened it up and indeed, it was just as they said. The white M+ lead is torn off the solder. I didn't open the headset up until after I had my entire N900 torn apart on my lunch break. At least I got a shitload of dust and pocket lint out of it.

Update:

I now have tools to try to fix this thing.

So, I had 3 minutes left before leaving for the station and soldered the mofo back together and the headset now works!

Update: 2011-10-20: Soldering broke and cable came loose while on my trip to the States, so I resoldered it again today at the office.
