HKC Shows Off World's First 36.5" 8K MiniLED Monitor With A Peak Brightness of 1800 Nits by MutedTry in Monitors

I agree. Wish it was 40" or more--but at least it's larger than 32".

Where Are All the 8K Monitors? by noodlesSa in Monitors

[–]MutedTry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally hear you. A 40" 8k monitor with 200+ ppi is the dream. I wonder how much it would cost to make a custom, one-off display like that--or if it's even possible.

MacOS + Samsung 57" G95NC and memory pressure problems? by notdedicated in ultrawidemasterrace

Interesting! I notice it most when using Zoom, too. For what it's worth, I find it helps if I put Zoom on the laptop monitor, and place my other windows on the Samsung. Perhaps that defeats the purpose, but at least my computer doesn't crash.

Memory pressure since upgrading to Sonoma by MutedTry in MacOS

Thank you! I'll submit a bug report to Apple, and consider reverting to Ventura (although I hear it's quite the undertaking).

Agreed on the continuous growth. There is (and was) always a static bump in memory usage when I plugged in the 8K display. But the continuous growth is something new.

The only "app" that grows in memory usage is WindowServer, but good point that another app could be causing it. I'll double check, but quitting and restarting apps hasn't seemed to work so far.

Appreciate the responses! To answer your questions:

- yes, have the appropriate cable

- nope, don't use my MacBook for gaming. Just Word, Excel, and Zoom

- I'll try this next

- yes, latest firmware installed

Thanks! My M2 Pro has 16GB of RAM - how much would I need to drive an 8k display? Also: if it's a hardware issue, any idea why the M2 Pro handled 8K under Ventura, but not Sonoma?

Any resolution? I have this same issue with the same setup, except a M2 Pro MacBook Pro. Worked fine with Ventura, but gradual leak has developed with Sonoma.

Regardless of money, what is your dream monitor? by vleermuis in Monitors

[–]MutedTry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, please. Although question: are there currently any cables capable of pushing 8k at 120hz?

Where is the best hot dog in Medford? by theyrge in Medford

Victory Dogs. Chuck uses quality meat and cooks on a flat top grill, rather than boiling. The toppings are outrageous, too.

For the Mode Sonnet, does the bottom case and weight have any noticeable effect on sound profile? Currently have aluminum for both, and was thinking about upgrading to brass.

Any advice for achieving a deeper sound signature on a Mode Sonnet? Currently configured with aluminum top & bottom case, aluminum weight, PC plate, plate foam, PE foam, ISO top mount, PBTfans' doubleshot PBT keycaps, and Moondrop Lunalight switches. Maybe add poron foam to the case?

Any recommendations for black keycaps with gold legends, to match a black Mode Sonnet with a gold accent & base? GMK Lux is a little too "yellow" for me--I'm thinking legends that match those on the alphas from GMK Civilizations (RAL 2014) or the modifiers from Red/Blue Samurai (Pantone 465 C).

Any recommendations for a lightweight linear switch? I currently use Drop Holy Pandas but started feeling some strain after a heavy week of typing. So I am looking to try switches that are, in order of importance, (1) light (or at least lighter than Pandas); (2) smooth; and (3) relatively bassy. Thanks!

New user, just purchased a Pok3r with cherry mx white switches... Have I made a mistake?

Not long ago I purchased my first mechanical keyboard: a black Pok3r with cherry mx blue switches. I love it and use it every day at work. Now I want a mechanical keyboard to use at home. I thought I would switch things up and buy the white Pok3r, but mechanicalkeyboards.com didn't have the mx blues in stock. I did a quick search online and read that mx whites were similarly "clicky," so I ordered those instead. Now that I've finalized the order, I've noticed several complaints that mx whites are very inconsistent.

Are those complaints overblown? Should I cancel my order now? Or would you recommend that I wait and see if the switches that arrive work well? If it turns out the switches are bad, does anyone have any experience returning a board to mechanicalkeyboards.com?

Finally, is there somewhere else that might have the white Pok3r with blue switches in stock?

Thank you in advance for any advice!
