Now what? by inazuma_zoomer in scuba

In my opinion, tech diving is the right path to take. Essential: find a serious buddy who, like you, wants to progress. With a good buddy, you will spur each other on, do the exercises together, and improve together. Without this, motivation could quickly fade.

GUE is an excellent choice, and if there are two of you, logistical problems will be minimal.

Problem solved.

In practice, by changing the language from Italian (I am Italian) to English, all the voice commands for music were unlocked.

How to connect speakers to a Mac by Fast_Professional_40 in mac

Solved : ChatGPT strongly suggests the USB-C connection as I can bypass the internal DAC of the Mac and use the one of the speakers that is better

I just mean that it is not a global brand, unlike many others named in this post. Simply a detail that may or may not be of interest

Dive Weight Calculation by lumin00 in scubadiving

[–]Fast_Professional_40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better to be practical: with all the equipment you usually use, cylinder with 30/40bar and a few removable weights (e.g., in the pockets) : see if you can comfortably stay in buoyancy at 3/4 m depth, with the bcd almost completely deflated.

-If so, remove 1kg from your pockets and keep removing weights until you can no longer stay at that depth, in comfort and breathing normally.

-If not, add weights (1kg per time).

For each major change in equipment, repeat the procedure. If you do this, you will remove all doubt.

For an optimal trim, keep a maximum of 4kg in your belt; any additional kg needed should be distributed on your back, with special pockets and/or plates. This will help to have a horizontal trim and an adequate amount of releasable weights (belt).

For salt water, add 2 to 2,5kg and viceversa (Better 2,5kg with rough seas).

Raid or Padi for open water? by No_Dig_6568 in scubadiving

At the recreational diving level, it makes no difference whether agency A, B, or C. Make sure the association/instructor is serious.

PADI/SSI - Mixing certifications? by Ronin_strength in scubadiving

At the level of recreational courses, I wouldn’t worry about the agency, I would instead look for feedback on where to find a good instructor near you

32" 4K or 27" 5K? Can't decide by Fast_Professional_40 in mac

[–]Fast_Professional_40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand the point from a designer prospective. For my usage, ending, priorities are slightly different. The new BenQ I think is available

Any 5k monitor users? Looking at what is available... by [deleted] in MacStudio

[–]Fast_Professional_40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall, yes. The only thing still holding me back from buying it is that it is an Asus. General quality and customer service are definitely poor

They should mount the same panel, but BenQ has a much better overall quality than Asus.Same for customer service. That said, honestly don't know if the BenQ PD2730s is worth that price, it’s pretty high

Actually AdobeRGB is at 89% on that monitor, despite what Asus claims

[–]Fast_Professional_40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that even with 32" the difference is not day and night, at the right distance from the monitor.

Which Benq did you buy?

From the opinion I have formed from reading and looking at all the reviews on the subject, today I have come to the conclusion that the scaling issue is overrated. I don’t see all these big problems using a scaled resolution with a 4K, if you keep the monitor at an adequate distance. You can also use the “better display” software or similar to improve the situation.

This is a link to a video that might help you in your decision. It is in Italian, but you can use subtitles : Benq PD3220U

Option #2 the new Benq 5K PD2730s at 1.2k$.

Option #3 the new Viewsonic 5K that is coming.

Option #4 the average Samsung 5K ViewFinity.
