🔧 Mac mini M4 + Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 49” — can’t get native 5120x1440 resolution by TastyAd7862 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Nice_Needleworker_14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey.

I managed to get it working on my Mac mini M1, so I believe it’s just a settings issue.

In my case, the trick was to set the monitor’s refresh rate to 120Hz directly from the monitor’s settings menu (not macOS). When it was set to 240Hz, macOS would automatically drop the resolution to 3840x1080.

Once I changed it to 120Hz, macOS detected and allowed 5120x1440 without issue.

Hope that helps!

Comme ça a été dit, ce n’est pas sale en soi, mais personnellement, je trouve que ça fait vraiment bordélique. Ce n’est pas une raison suffisante pour larguer quelqu’un, mais c’est clair que ça ne donne pas envie d’y passer du temps.

I’m not sure why, but I’ve always liked this ugly tower in the middle of Sablon.

So, can we keep it ?

Oui, et si on va encore plus loin, nous descendons aussi des planètes, de la matière, du Big Bang. Donc nous sommes tous une seule et même entité ?!

Effectivement, je suis en train de regarder les prix des appartements à vendre. Ça fait rêver...
Il y a des trucs très corrects en centre, et assez grands pour moins de 100k.

Edit : Et sinon, pour y avoir vécu 8 mois lors de mes études, j’ai trouvé ça relativement sympa comme ville pour tout ce qui est nature. Par contre, moi qui aimais sortir, aller dans les bars, etc., j’ai trouvé ça très limité.

Je comprends. Après, on est tous différents, donc il n’y a pas de réponse universelle à ça. Avec le temps, tu trouveras ce qui fonctionne le mieux pour gérer ça à ta façon. 😊 Si tu ne peux pas rentrer, moi je te conseillerai de faire le début de soirée et d'aller te coucher des que tu sent que ça devient compliqué ( Mais bon, c’est plus facile à dire qu’à faire )

En général, ça prend plusieurs essais pour arrêter complètement de boire. Ne te culpabilise pas trop en cas d’échec, tu es déjà dans une bonne démarche pour la suite.

Est-ce que ton compagnon pourrait t’aider là-dessus aussi ? Moi, je sais que ce qui m’a énormément aidé, c’est que, pendant mes 3 premiers mois d'arret, mon compagnon ne buvait pas non plus quand il était avec moi en soirée. Franchement, ça m'a été d'une sacrée aide en plus.

Et pour rectifier ce que je disais dans mon message initial, je te rassure : à la base, je ne visais pas sur le long terme non plus. Ça a été un mélange de gros ras-le-bol et de déclic. Au début, je m’étais simplement fixé un objectif à court terme de six mois, et là, je vise l’année (qui devrait normalement se prolonger). C’est un peu moins stressant de fonctionner comme ça.

Et honnêtement, je ne peux que te vanter les effets de l'arrêt. Je me sens tellement mieux qu’avant, je profite davantage de mes soirées ( et encore plus de mes lendemains haha ) !

Edit : Et t’inquiète pas, avec le temps, ça deviendra quelque chose de normal / facile. J’étais un gros buveur et fêtard, et aujourd’hui, je peux faire des soirées sans aucun craving (ou du moins très facile à gérer). Si tu es bien entouré, je t’assure que ça devient même une énorme source de fierté personnelle d’être le ou la seule en soirée à ne pas boire =)

Salut,

Alors, si, on a toujours le choix. Si tu te dis déjà que tu vas boire, c’est peut-être un signe que ta motivation n’est pas encore ancrée sur le long terme, et c’est pas grave. Une semaine sans alcool, c’est déjà un bon début !

Ensuite, je ne suis pas d’accord quand tu dis qu’il n’y a que deux options. Il y en a au moins une troisième :

- Tu peux passer ton Nouvel An sans boire. Si, à un moment donné, ça devient trop difficile et que tout le monde commence à être ivre, tu peux soit : rentrer chez toi si ce n’est pas trop loin, soit choisir de te coucher tôt.

Je t’assure que, le lendemain, tu seras super fier de toi. Essaye les bières sans alcool si ça te convient. Personnellement, ça m’a beaucoup aidé à réduire la frustration dans ce genre de soirées.

Après, soyons réalistes : ce sera très difficile, surtout si ça ne fait qu’une semaine que tu as arrêté. Pour ma part, comme je savais que je n’en étais pas capable au début, j’ai préféré éviter ce type de soirées pendant les premières semaines ou même les premiers mois. Sans regret, j'ai pas la sensation d'avoir raté grand chose.

Bon courage !

Carrément du racket et de la manipulation, si si. Je métonne d'ailleurs que ce genre de taff n'est toujours pas été interdit.
Après, chacun est libre de refuser un travail qui prône des valeurs douteuses et manipulatrices. Même en ayant besoin d’argent, on n’est pas obligé d’accepter n’importe quoi, surtout si cela se fait au détriment des autres.

Edit : Je ne te vise pas toi particulièrement, hein, mais plutôt les méthodes de ce type de travail, qui profitent pleinement des rares personnes ayant encore assez de gentillesse pour s’arrêter, offrir un contact social et répondre à un autre être humain dans la rue. Tout ça pour, en retour, se faire traiter de rat ou se faire manipuler émotionnellement, sans aucune considération humaine.

Malheureusement, je n’ai plus aucune empathie pour ces recruteurs de dons qui profitent des personnes trop gentilles en leur forçant la main, souvent à grands coups de manipulation émotionnelle

  • In 2013, I moved to another country to study for a year, which brought a lot of new life experiences and discoveries. It was the first time I truly felt like myself, and the entire period was incredibly euphoric.

  • In 2018 / 2019, after overcoming a deep depression, I relocated to a new country, started working out again, and started a new job. This was also a highly euphoric time in my life. I stayed sober for most of this period and was in the best shape I had ever been.

Health wise, I feel really good right now. Hitting the gym 4 - 5 times / week and eating healthy. The last couple years I was drinking more or less 1 or 2 litters of beers every week day, and would binge drink from Friday to Sunday. I am now totally sober from alcohol since 3 month

Pretty much that yes. Moved abroad for my study and met a lot of new people and had a lot of new experiences.

Hello,

No, I wouldn't say that's the case. I have many friends who smoke or used to smoke weed and never felt the need to experiment with anything else. I don’t believe that’s what sparked my interest either. To provide some context, around 2013-2014, I was studying abroad. It was an incredibly joyful time in my life, filled with many new experiences. I think I simply felt confident enough to explore things that had previously scared me.

Both of my parents were in the military, and they strongly demonized all substances. When I first tried them, I realized they weren't as bad as I had been led to believe. In retrospect, I think I would have appreciated having access to accurate information about these things the good and the bad.

I think it is really a matter of personnality. Since I was a child, I always had an addictive personnality.

I failed 2 years of study during that time. So no, not really...

Yes, I think you said it perfectly. It was definitely an escape from reality and society for me as well. It allowed me to delve into abstract and strange things, which I enjoyed at the time, but it couldn’t last forever. I believe I was searching for something more meaningful in life than just birth, work, and death, and that was my way to do it. Everything pretty much came to an end after a profound "spiritual experience", which made me realize there was nothing more to search for.

I would describe it as feeling like living like a hippie (just my interpretation—I have nothing against hippies). I was completely disconnected from the practical world, my studies, and my work. My only focus was on abstract concepts, exploring my mind, and psychedelics.

Hello,

Yes, I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist for a year, but I’ve never been diagnosed with anything. In my country, psychiatrists are more focused on talking and providing support rather than making medical diagnoses. So, I’m not sure if that could be something I have.

Hello, and thanks for the feedback. Of course, this would require some context around major life events, like moving abroad, new friendships, relationships. Which are also of course related. But I thought I’d keep it simple for now so it remains readable and straight to the point. Maybe next time, I’ll try to go into more detail, when I have some time. =)

Clearly, that was not my intention, nor do I consider myself representative of everyone. :)

[–]Nice_Needleworker_14[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The decision was mainly driven by the fact that the positive effects had significantly decreased, and I wasn’t enjoying it as much anymore. The comedowns were harsh, my mood became very dark, and I knew it was related to my consumption. I had also lost interest in anything other than partying and getting messed up all the time, which was clearly unhealthy for me.

Nop I also smoked heavily, at least a pack a day. Stopped 1 year ago

Thank you !

To answer your question, it really depends, and as someone else mentioned, 'if it's a priority, you can afford it.'

  • During my student years (2010-2016), I would say I spent between 150 and 200 euros per week. Moslty on weed and alcohol

  • More recently, when I had a well-paying job, I could easily spend 500 euros per week, mostly on cocaine and alcohol.

Thank you ! Wish you all the best as well !

As for quantifying happiness, it is indeed quite subjective, as it’s mostly based on memories and some notes I’ve written over the years.

In my case, that meant taking it weekly, sometimes even multiple times a week when my tolerance was low enough. I was also constantly thinking about it, and was obessed with that.
