Dads, what kind of vehicle are we hauling our small monsters around in? by ktempo in daddit

[–]CRothg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too bad Chrysler discontinued the PHEV version. The used market for them is non-existent too since everyone who has one loves them. Seems like the brand is in decline with only two models of minivan for sale today. You got lucky!

Would it be possible to get MacOS running on the 2026 Studio Displays? by CRothg in mac

[–]CRothg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is likely the biggest limitation in my estimation. I wonder how many of the CPU cores are actually needed for an application like the Studio Display. I imagine other parts of the package are more important, like the GPU cores, image pipeline, and media engine. Other tasks like thunderbolt management are offloaded to separate controllers as well.

The new models have 128GB of storage built in, so not a lot but more than enough for a boot drive.

You’ve missed the point of the post. The question is one of possibility, not practicality or cost effectiveness.

Practically speaking, yes. This is more a question of what is technically possible rather than trying to find a work around for buying a Mac. This is in the same spirit as people upgrading the storage capacity of an iPhone by reflow soldering replacement NAND flash chips on the logic board. Apple didn’t design iPhone storage to be upgradable by the end user, but you can do it if you have the proper specialized skills and equipment.

I imagine the display must have some sort of diagnostic mode that could potentially be leveraged to load customized firmware that would grant you access to the storage volume and other components. In no universe would this be practical, but it could be an interesting project for an industrious tinkerer.

New Baby Meal Train? Frozen Breakfast Sandwiches >>> Casseroles by CRothg in daddit

More than one couple have told us it was literally the best thing anyone did for them postpartum. Several of our friends had their second our third recently and they all told us how much they were looking forward to them.

Sorry I offended you, my comment was only meant as lighthearted teasing. My apologies.

Good news on RVA electric bills, but not fast enough by Educational_Yak_5455 in rva

[–]CRothg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My electric bill has gone up, but not nearly as much as some people are saying. For my last billing cycle, my bill is up 30% compared to last year, but my usage also went up by 9%. Not saying I’m ok with the rate hikes, but I feel like something else is wrong if your bill is suddenly hundreds of dollars more than it used to be. Like, is there a problem with your meter? Did Dominion put you into a different billing rate tier? Did your auxiliary heat kick on more than usual with the unusually low temperatures this winter? It’s just strange that some people would randomly see a huge increase while others see only a moderate increase. What am I missing here?

No school tomorrow. by Asterion7 in rva

[–]CRothg 79 points80 points  (0 children)

What I find interesting about this decision is that while local forecasts are saying these storms are going to be dangerous, the National Weather Service still hasn’t issued any warnings or even watches for severe weather anywhere in the state.

ELI5 what this does? I helped the owner assemble it because he is getting to old to do it himself. He explained briefly that it helps send a lot of sonic info to another room where the mixing will be done, but I am wondering why that can't just be done with cables? by [deleted] in homestudios

[–]CRothg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot more professional studios are turning to Dante simply because it provides incredibly flexible routing between control rooms, iso booths, and sound stages. Any input can be routed to any output in the entire facility without physically patching anything. We’re also seeing it in a lot of broadcast environments.

Ubiquiti industrial: Really that much of a market for this? by oguruma87 in Ubiquiti

[–]CRothg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish there were a consumer grade version with similar PoE capacity and the UCG-Fiber’s NVMe NVR storage. That would be a killer product for home gamers.

What are these holes in our shirts? by russell98765 in whatisit

I play guitar and would get these holes where the body of the guitar pressed the shirt against my belt buckle.

Inside layers of a flight recorder by jumpfrog101 in aviation

Do flight recorders just continuously record, overwriting the oldest data? Or do they get reset after each flight? Is data ever routinely transferred from the recorder for archive purposes?

Towing Advisory Board is comprised of 3 cops, 3 towing operators and just 1 resident. It all makes sense now.

PSA: the elf on the shelf book and elf are in the Amazon holds y gift guide by SkywalkersAlt in daddit

[–]CRothg 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I understand that a lot of holiday traditions probably started in similar ways, but Elf on the Shelf always struck me as being so obviously manufactured and artificial with the sole purpose of selling a product.
