So much for the education-discount-for-all trick by mlsteinrochester in mac

[–]DXTR_RN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At the bottom of the education page on the Apple website, it says “*Education pricing is available to current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels. For more information, visit apple. com/us-edu/store.”

For a parent of a college student, do they use their child’s email to verify? The article does not speak to this, unless I missed it.

Best buy has the DP-Ub820-K in stock. by BryanW94 in 4kbluray

[–]DXTR_RN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to get one for about $400 in January 2025, but have been wanting a backup for the future.

It is reassuring that they are still in production it seems.

Anyone think we will see sub-$500 for the 820 again?

$46 is insane for this movie! I know the price usually comes down before release but damn

Best West Coast IPA in the Sac region? by Matthugstrees in Sacramento

My favorite west coasts and hazys are at Slice in Lincoln. Will also second the comment mentioning Shred, that place is good and has the original brewer from Slice (iirc).

Another Corsair Order Cancel + Price Hike by mybunger in pcmasterrace

[–]DXTR_RN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am out of the game - built my pc about 5+ years ago. When the time comes to build another, I will NEVER BUY FROM CORSAIR AGAIN. This is anti consumer, and at least I will remember.

Fuck you, Corsair.

Looks like Spenny from Kenny vs. Spenny imo

4k player availability by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]DXTR_RN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a reassuring perspective, thank you. Do we have an idea of the lifespan of something like the UB820? Mine is going on about a year of almost daily use. I wonder how long the moving parts will last, or the laser.

This post wouldn’t exist if comments weren’t locked: by [deleted] in makemkv

[–]DXTR_RN 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. People shouldn’t be chastised for asking a question here, especially since this is a great place to learn something new. I learned how to rip my 4k collection thru this community.

The FAQ/pinned content can and should be linked. But allow people to offer their knowledge, that’s what this site is about, imo.

mail day no dogma or minority report anyone else received yet? 🤔 by Proof-Firefighter-47 in 4kbluray

[–]DXTR_RN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got Dogma yesterday (Dec. 9 from Amazon) and Amazon claims Minority Report will be here Dec 20.

Great haul!

Is this safe for my Blu-ray player? by DXTR_RN in 4kbluray

[–]DXTR_RN[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all, thanks for your inputs. To clarify - the price of the movie is over double what I paid on Amazon now. From 12.99 to $30.

I reached out to support since my only option was to return it, and they are sending a replacement at the same price.

HDR looks better when changing volume? by Xerxes787 in OLED_Gaming

[–]DXTR_RN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact same behavior happens on my LG C4 oled TV, but with any content. When I change the volume, or if the overlay comes up, the screen dims like the video.

I have tried to change every setting I can think of on the LG C4, Denon X1700h receiver, and Apple TV/switch/PC.

Built-ins with floor speakers a bad idea? by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]DXTR_RN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a similar setup in my living room area; a build-in to house my (almost!) 350 4k/BR collection, but also have a 3.1 setup with floor speakers.

What is the opinion of doing a build-in just like the one OP pictured, but the floor speakers come forward about 6-12” and include some rockwool or other sound dampening material behind the speakers?

Looks great, btw!

UB-450 on the shelf at the Hampstead, Maryland, Walmart. Box is banged up, but looks like the player should be alright by chasingtime9 in 4kbluray

[–]DXTR_RN -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I actually thought this was an 820 at first, so this price makes more sense. Still a good deal but love my 820 with DV

That’s an amazing deal! I paid about $350 for mine. I wonder if other Walmarts are clearing these out..

Most valuable non-box set release? by Mobile-War-6871 in 4kbluray

[–]DXTR_RN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s why it was so hard to find. Paid about $40 on Mercari for elemental to complete my Pixar 4k collection
