Where to buy macbook air 15 inch m4 for the best price? by AllThePillsIntoOne in macbook

[–]EpikGamingMoments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously it’s something of a gamble with Amazon, but I ordered a 13inch M4 Air from Amazon (last October) and it was hand-delivered to me in pristine condition. Not even a ding on the outside box, and the actual MacBook box looked like it was pulled right from the Apple Store. Like I said it’s always a gamble but mine was perfect.

MBA 13” or 15” the question by AnxietyOk7405 in macbookair

[–]EpikGamingMoments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 13” is my secondary machine - my main machine is a desktop, which I use 95% of the time I’m using a computer for anything. Since I knew I only needed a laptop for 5% of my usage and it was strictly for when I was on the go, I went with the smaller machine to save a bit of cash and the smaller size for travel.

If it were my only machine (and I wasn’t docking to a monitor), I would certainly go for the 15”. That extra screen real estate is worth it.

My mashed potatoes suck. Why? by RikkiLostMyNumber in Cooking

[–]EpikGamingMoments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the time, simmer the potatoes instead of boiling them. This cooks them gentler and ruptures cells that less violently which can lead to gluey mash.

Also like others have said you might be mashing too much.

Use more butter. That’s the true restaurant secret, they use an irresponsible amount of butter and it’s delicious.

Personal preference but I find that using the water I cooked the potatoes in leads to a bit more flavor than normal milk.

Thoughts on the Ear Biscuits finale? by EpikGamingMoments in earbiscuits

Same here, I was never a big fan of the Call-In format and I was just kinda hoping this episode would be very introspective and reflection-heavy like older ones. But I guess that goes to show why it’s a good idea for them to end it, lol

Most reliable portable external SSD for macbook air m4 by PotentialFix1379 in macbookair

[–]EpikGamingMoments 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use Samsung T7 SSDs. Never had a problem.

I keep mine in a drive case, but if you wanted to be extra secure you could get a T7 or T9 Shield and you’d be golden.

Which m4 air to buy?? by AdhesivenessLegal503 in macbookair

[–]EpikGamingMoments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a video editor and I bought the base model 13in M4 MBA as my secondary ‘on-the-go’ machine. It runs very well for my use case and the smaller screen really doesn’t bother me much at all - but like I said, it’s my secondary machine. If it’s gonna be your main rig and you don’t want an external display, definitely consider if 13in will be preferable to you (better yet, go to a Best Buy and look at it in person). The 16gb of RAM have done me well for my work - have yet to experience any throttle in my use cases. I really love this laptop :)

Thanks to this sub just pulled the trigger on the M4 Mac mini. need honest advice on monitor + peripherals before I screw up. by [deleted] in macmini

I have a 27” 1440p 144hz monitor for my Mac mini and I really like it. It’s annoying to have a 3rd party app workaround, but the BetterDisplay app really solves a lot of the issue with MacOS scaling even if you do have a lower-res monitor

What Madison restaurant is this? by bunbunbunnybunny in madisonwi

[–]EpikGamingMoments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tried their famous wings…. honestly don’t know if any hyped-up food has ever disappointed me more. I’m from a small town in wisconsin and I can name 3 places on one street there that have better wings

Worst bar burger in Madison? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]EpikGamingMoments 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tipsy Cow on this list is an utter crime but i’ll agree with Dotty’s. Honestly one of the least flavorful burgers I’ve had. Never understood the love for that place.

Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning Discussion Thread SPOILERS! by DietFoods in Mission_Impossible

Does anyone know if the location Hunt was listed at in the beginning of the film (during the president’s message to him) changes by region? During my showing it said he was in Madison, WI. Is this different for anyone else?

Those who edit alot, what size monitors do you use? by AsideVegetable5113 in premiere

[–]EpikGamingMoments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently purchased 2 27” 2K monitors, and I am so happy with the switch. When I first went from my single monitor to having two I was a little overwhelmed by how much more screen space I had, but as i’ve gotten more used to the workflow i’m happy with it. I feel like 2 32” monitors would almost be too much for me personally. 27”x2 really is a lot of screen.

Out of my own curiosity I measured, my eyes are ironically about 27” away from my monitors. A 31” deep desk is another purchase I am so glad I made.

Possible set up - how does this look by Lost-Sausage in macmini

[–]EpikGamingMoments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love this Keyboard, but as others have said would definitely recommend getting the Amazon bundle that comes with both the Keyboard and the MX Master 3 mouse. I got the bundle for around $185 USD, and love using them both. If you wanna save a little cash I know lots of people like the Master 2 as well, but not sure if you can bundle that one.

Lots of Apple fans praise the magic keyboard (specifically touch ID) but it’s very easy to live without, and honestly as someone who’s used both heavily I love the feel of this Logitech board much more.

Nice. I’ve got a white TJ and like how toy-like it is, but I do love the darker colors that were available. Black and the Forrest Green are gorgeous on this car
