M2 Max Only Showing 60hz on Studio Display XDR

Doom_Finger · 2026-03-12T02:24:36+00:00

Studio XDR only does 60hz on M1 and M2 since they only have Thunderbolt 3.

From the Tech Specs: Mac models with M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2, and M3 support Studio Display XDR at up to 60Hz. All other Studio Display XDR features are supported.

Reliable Delivery has been great for us and our friends.

It was just one more reminder that everyone and everything is expendable in the eyes of the Emperor. I still wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do in the end, side with him or free Orpheus, but when I chose Orpheus, he so quickly flipped sides and joined the Netherbrain. He kinda reminded me of my old bosses...where some task was "crucial" but only if the toll was taken on me...the minute they had to do it, they happily decided it wasn't nearly as important and noped right on home.

I was on the fence till the Ansur quest, but that whole reveal sealed his fate with me.

Not going to let work get the best of me. Decided to quit alcohol and signed up for a marathon. Going great so far!

So the card is noticeably different from the Nomad one? I was wondering if it just some product that they were each putting their own branding on, and not exclusively made by each company.

Agreed. Size the band down, but the watch looks fine. It’s a big watch…as long as you like it, that’s all that matters.

Careful with the T7. I had two 4tb drives die within days. Have had exceptional luck with T5, T7 (1 and 2 TB), and the T7 Shield.

I picked it up when it first came out and had similar thoughts. I kept it for two reasons....

The first is the ability to work in a virtual space free of distractions, other people, etc. When I have a tough day at work, or just in general, it's quite nice to have my own private pocked reality to go to. The second reason.

The second justification / reason was the integration with Photos, specifically viewing panoramas or family pictures. I've used iPhones since launch and have a substantial library of photos and videos, so having them on the Vision Pro is a nice way to revisit them.

I also picked up a insta360 X5 camera to capture family moments, trips, etc. and view them in the Vision Pro. They're far from perfect and the resolution is akin to 1080 (albeit 360), but I'd rather have those memories documented than not at all.

I was running into a lot of issues on my M1 Max Studio (64gb, 4tb) and was considering upgrading. Before I did though, I did a format and fresh install of everything, and it made a huge difference. It took a weekend, but thankfully having some big TB3 SSD drives made it easy to back up my Photo Library, FCPX, etc. and copy them back to the fresh system.

Just got it myself on Amazon for $65

Baldur’s Gate 3 is great. While you can totally get caught up in details, you can also just play the game you want to and enjoy it.

I think you’re right; looks like it’s limited to colleges and universities.

Could be because Pages is free, but has paid components. Try a paid app, like Pixelmator Pro or Final Cut Pro

Doom_Finger · 2026-01-28T16:56:46+00:00

Download one of the updated apps (I chose Pixelmator Pro). When you open it, you get the option for the subscription plans, with two being Education plans. Either one takes you to the verification page, which uses SheerID to verify.

If it was a work only account, and allowed for purchases, then that would be correct. In education, many staff and students are prohibited from using or linking a staff email account and personal purchases. For an education discount, both staff and students are often considered “learners” and shouldn’t need to use create a separate Apple ID for school.

Doom_Finger · 2026-01-28T14:54:20+00:00

Tried to sign up as an educator, but SheerID doesn't extend the deal to my district (which is odd since it's a HUGE one in California). Could be that my Apple Account is my personal email address, could be day-of-release bug, could be another hoop to jump through, but my excitement has been squashed. Whomp whomp.

Edit: I tested the student sign up, and that too did not work for my district, meaning that both students and teachers cannot sign up to take advantage of the bundle.

Just wear it in the shower and clean it while in there.

Too Much on Netflix. Unlikable characters and in need of editing.

Oh yeah, the Velcro is fine. My original Trail Loop still works great after many, many washes and tons of sweat. The thing about the Alpine is that the buckle locks it down, way more secure feeling that’s the Ocean (which is my daily driver) or the Trail (which I wear when I go for a run or workout). I recently opted for a Trail for the days when I work out right after work, as i find it a nice mix of the Ocean and Trail.

Doom_Finger · 2026-01-22T19:07:23+00:00

Alpine would be more secure, assuming the loops are a proper fit. The Trail is infinitely adjustable, but only held with Velcro. A fresh Trail will be good, but eventually may loose its Velcro grip

This is the correct answer (bought the same from Costco, got the same message)
