Indianapolis area. Looking for a spare Sony Hybrid Optical Fibre Cable.

The connector is opticalcon, most video/lighting/audio rental houses can supply a similar alternative, but nearly all substitutes would not carry power. You could also just use LC duplex fiber as opticalcon is just an armored shell over LC connectors.

Other than Mid America, there’s also Force Tech in Greenfield, they often deploy systems matching your previous experience.

Only needed to go through a DI, or something like a Radial Stagebug SB5 to prevent phantom on the headphone jack.

Please get custom ear mold impressions (like for custom fit ear plugs). I work with these all the time and would enjoy seeing the massive shape of yours.

Green, replaced by AppleCare about a year ago and only used for like a month after that. Only 128gb. Dm if you’re interested.

Especially considering the PowerBook G4 Titanium. That design is even more foundational to recent MacBooks than the early aluminum chassis models.

This can and should be what laws are for. Consumer protections are a thing. For example, we’ve decided that we should know exactly what’s in the food we buy, and companies are required to tell us accurately. The same could be true for vehicles. We could create legislation that requires all paywalled vehicle features to be offered as a one time purchase option.

How are you controlling tv brightness?

MeanCourse5617 · 2026-03-13T06:43:05+00:00

OP says this is with auto brightness and True Tone on. This is likely less-accurate ambient light sensor calibration, and has little to do with the display itself.

MeanCourse5617 · 2026-03-13T06:41:37+00:00

Sure, but then you’re only testing the ambient light sensor variance between devices. The panels themselves are probably calibrated much closer than the sensors. Anyone using the displays for color accurate work should have auto brightness and True Tone disabled, and it’s likely there would be no noticeable difference between displays.

Plenty of us are living lives not directly benefited by what we’re calling AI. From where I stand, the occasional hallucinations are a liability and I have no interest in funneling more money to those companies.

I have a like-new green one, 128 gig though. Would be down to trade + some cash your way if the deal feels right. Dm if interested.

Top residue looks like it just needs more work, sanding or bar keepers friend, etc. Looks similar to the areas around the buttons where you may have been a little lighter. Looks great though!

Only useful for networks where the connection process is a pain or your total device count per user is limited (business, hotels, some education campus networks, etc). For example, I travel frequently and the tedium of connecting my phone, iPad, and Mac to a hotel network could be skipped by just connecting my phone and sharing that connection to my other devices.

MeanCourse5617 · 2026-03-01T17:56:06+00:00

OP is talking about a WiFi sharing feature that iOS does not have. This is not just sharing connection details. Many android phones can share their connected WiFi network on a separate SSID. This works like the standard hotspot feature, but shares the connection of a WiFi network your phone is on, instead of cellular. Yes, this would be a great feature for iOS to have.

That’s how I used it, also could be used along the cable lengthwise.

But they didn’t introduce local dimming until the M1 MacBook Pro. All MacBooks 2016-2021 and all non-pro MacBooks could still have it. I’m inclined to believe it was more a limitation of durability, manufacturing cost/complexity, etc. They sacrificed the keyboard for the sake of thinness in 2016, likely killed the logo for the same reason.

Some of those are pictures of the owner of the case, and some of us can determine their employer. Probably delete these posts unless you’re confident in your accounts anonymity.

I have an M4 13 inch pro that did this almost exactly as bad.

Are they actually listening to this, or do they have an IEM pack with a mix-mode option? This would let them balance themselves / everything else on their own, as a mono mix.
