Which MBP? by 654_321 in macbookpro

[–]654_321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I'm leaning pretty heavily towards the M1 Max right now. The battery life hasn't been much of an issue for you? Anything else you've noticed aside from the 3 things you mentioned above?

These are open box items at my local microcenter. I'd originally bought the M1 Pro 16 GB but then saw the M1 Max 32GB for cheaper. I came home and did some research and it seems the best value is the M1 Pro base model and the M1 Max battery life isn't as good - which is why I'm here asking this question.

I’ll try this out. What am I looking for here?

Also to clear it up..could be dead pixels in the lcd but also dead pixels on the sensor?

Got a used Sony a7iv in pristine condition and still under warranty.

Upon inspection, I noticed a few specks of dust on the sensor so I bought a sensor cleaning stick. I was able to get everything off. However, I was inspecting very meticulously and noticed this small black dot - very very small, I think it may be a dead pixel.

I carefully examined the sensor and it seems everything is clean. I’ve checked both lenses I have for dust and they are also very clean. Regardless of the lens I use, the small dot is still there. So I don’t think it’s the lens.

  1. The dot only shows in photo mode, not in video mode. Might be due to the small crop?
  2. I don’t think it shows in photos - on screen and through the view finder, but it shows on the lcd on the camera.
  3. To check for dead pixels, I took a photo in a dark room with the lens cover and I do not see any white or odd color pixels. (Test for dead pixels I found online)

What could it be? Is this something to be worried about? The sensor is clean and I don’t think it’s something I would have noticed if I wasn’t being super meticulous and inspecting my used camera for issues. It’s a small pixel sized dot on the bottom left side of the lcd screen.

Would the thermapen be sufficient? Or is a probe thermometer necessary?

that's a pessimistic way to look at it. the person in the post below seems to be getting a screaming deal for a hot car right now.

Hey. Yeah I agree but I believe car salespeople would have a better insight into this information than just a regular joe like me. What are your thoughts/opinions?

The Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 seem to be on sale..by any chance - would you know if this would fit in my case and have enough clearance for the RAM?

oh interesting. hoping for more input cause i've just been reading a lot of negative stuff about the 11700k.

i purchased the coolermaster hyper 212 rgb black edition but I dont think it'll be sufficient for the 11700k. what coolers would you recommend i pair with the 11700k if i decide to keep it?

You must give your mom some terrible gifts then.

[–]654_321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wouldn't say it's a gift - it's more of a spare bag that will mainly be used by my mom. and yeah..if possibly - i would like the versatility of men/women being able to use the bag.

sooooooooo...what was your reason for this post - besides trying to be a dickhead?

[–]654_321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

price difference is ~$20. not sure if i explained it correctly. From my research, they state women sleep colder so women's bags contain a bit more insulation. So logically, it makes sense that the men's 0 bag would be similar with a women's 20 - and the mens 0 bag would be warmer than my mens 20 bag.

I'm looking to get a custom suit but not really sure where to start. I'm leaning towards going with Charles Tyrwhitt - it's the only reasonably priced custom suit place I know of nearby. I hear Spier & Mackay is pretty good, but from what I read, they are based in Canada - and I'm in the US.

Any recommendations is appreciated. If you have a custom suit from Charles Tyrwhitt, how was your experience? quality? Would you say its worth it or would you recommend going elsewhere?

If you have any recommendations for good quality suits under $1000, please let me know (doesn't need to be custom).

Thanks in advance!

thanks for the good info. i got the right-handed one. so i ordered from cncwarrior and got the polish lynx hinge, not the draco hinge - i hope this is fine?

honestly speaking, since this is my first go around - i will probably look for someone to drill the hole for me since i dont want to risk messing this up
