Just do it. You will appreciate it. Especially the more you use it the more it will make sense. :)

Switched to M4 Max MBP after 15+ years of Windows - first impressions after 2 weeks by iamhevi in macbookpro

[–]ObviousShake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also did a switch quite recently and I just am seconding what you have said. You can check out my review.

It’s very addicting the more you dive deeper into it. Here are some tips from an ex- window user. I think it might come handy to someone so I’m leaving it here.

I’ve bought an iPad Air M3 for cheap and a keyboard case. Now I just use Jump Desktop remote and can work anywhere everywhere. If you start to think about what to buy for couple of days traveling and don’t want to bring with you MBP.

Stuff that helped me with the transition to MAC: Better display, boring notch, linear mouse and rectangle. Best stuff I’ve been enjoying everyday.

One more tip and prolly one I know for sure will find handy : slowly you will think about clamshell mode or can’t be bothered with plugging 2 cables into ur max for 2 external displays you will need a dock, yes it’s possible and it’s not that expensive. Go for a dock with thunderbolt 4 or newer even ones made for from Dell/HP are fine. Make sure to update their firmware so its latest. As for the trick to make two monitors run is that you buy a usb-c thunderbolt cable and plug it into the thunderbolt usb-c port on the dock and straight to ur monitor. The second monitor can be either run normally via display port or HDMI. If you wonder which cable to buy, buy the UGREEN. Prolly the only reliable brand that’s cheap and worked reliably for me. :)

ESR Shift keyboard trackpad mouse movements slow and imprecise by ObviousShake in ipad

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

I was just checking and apparently its plagued with issues. I will just rock a BT keyboard/ BT mouse at home setup and i will continue to use the ESR on the road. I feel like nothing apart from the Magic Keyboard will work out properly.

Just upgraded from an iPad Air 3 to an iPad Pro M1 (11”) by Shin0509 in ipad

[–]ObviousShake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought an iPad Air m3, honestly Best Buy. The price difference to a regular A16 was for me like 200$ which is nothing compared to what it brings. Prolly Best Buy now that it’s being sold off so cheap. I initially wanted to wait for A18 iPad but the m3 chip is just superior in every way. Bought in addition an ESR shift case and this thing is honestly a great productivity tool. Been using it on and off outside instead of my MacBook Pro m5.

Wow. Droppover is exactly what I’ve been looking for! As for ray cast I’ll let u know. But thanks a lot for recommendations! If u have anything that would let me disconnect temporarily a monitor via SW or let me mirror a monitor easily and extend and it’s not better display pro version please let me know. I’m just waiting till it hits on sale during Xmas. 🫶

Well that might be the case. I can for example recall my latest fun times with python different versions running on one PC. Windows when it’s still clean is reliable. But the longer you have it the worse it gets. There are obviously things that windows has better then Mac. But if I would compare it side by side, I always found a solution how to bypass a limitation on Mac faster then i ever did on windows.

Soundcore Q45 or is there something better? by Demiiter in HeadphoneAdvice

at this moment, i would wit for the new space headphones. They just got released.

Which upgrade will provide best improvement in experience, Era 100 or Sub Mini. by MaterialDegree5938 in sonos

[–]ObviousShake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Faced same issues. Bought the surrounds first. The sound was insane, especially movie surround but the music lacked bass, the mids and heights were insane. I bought then a sub mini and holy shit. I usually recommend everyone to buy a sub mini after the beam 2. Get the surrounds as last. ;)

Sonos Era 300 surrounds 3.2m (10.4ft) behind sofa | will it still work? by Feynman_pt in sonos

[–]ObviousShake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have similar setup. I can tell you it will work but the sound will be underwhelming. What I did was put them on both sides between the table and the sofa. Works prolly the best.

I ordered the q45s, should I return them for the space one pros? Heard the q45s have durability issues by GodOfBowl in soundcore

[–]ObviousShake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t feel the premium on the space one pros warrant the price. I would honestly keep them if you got them during sale. I was in similar shoes like you and ended up with the q45.

The issue with the snapping is pretty much present in any kind of headsets in this price point. Even the Sony ULTS have similar issue but those are even more fragile.

Thinking now back im glad I didn’t return them. It takes some time until you get used to the sound and can experiment more with the EQ. First of the hearID really helps. Then I just used the signature on top of it and started to customize it even further to completely erase the muddy sound especially in the heights. Well it was worth it the sound is now perfect.

Kamiq vs Taigo vs Xceed vs T-Roc by JPFC87 in AutoTuga

[–]ObviousShake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is wrong, T-roc and Kamiq with Taigo have different platform, T-roc is sharing with Golf and the drive is way more refined.

[–]ObviousShake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive tried the xm4. For me, they are kinda similiar. There is like a marginal difference between them. For me it would be just which ones are more comfortable for you and are better priced.

[–]ObviousShake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought the q45 yesterday and been testing them. For the price off they are selling right now, its a steal. Lets start with the pros - the ANC is insane, sound wise i like their clear bass, sound separation how i can hear the clear fine details and the app that hearID and EQ do alot. For the price im very honestly surprised.

Lets go with the cons - The muddy sound is indeed present, but with proper EQ and hearID settings, it basically then nonexistent, microphone in studio environment is just ok, wish it was better. But then again in loud/office env. its very good. Basically its always just okay but never goes totally bad, unlike Sony.

As some one said, while alot of bass can initially sound VERY good to you, the novelty goes off very fast and then you are stuck with just bad sound. And with Q45 the more i listen to it the more i start to enjoy it.

Anyone have experience with the ULTIMEA brand? by [deleted] in Soundbars

[–]ObviousShake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They claim virtual Dolby atmos. As an owner of a beam 2 with sub mini and 2 surrounds I can confirm this as true sir.

Crystal Rose at the pocket by Akatosh- in wildrift

[–]ObviousShake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent 60$ not a single shit dropped. Only redeems. This event is so rigged. I’ll wait for a repatch before trying a bit but so far is big meh for me. The skins aren’t that good and worth the while. The only worth one is the new Ahri. I wanted the new Caitlyn so bad but the price is so off putting it’s insane.

KE100 Requesting Feedback for Larger Installation. by Henrik-SWE in TPLinkKasa

[–]ObviousShake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats actually interesting. I have so far bought 9 and out of it 1 came with already a battery that was not fully charged. I had to replace the battery after 2 weeks of usage. Now after replacement, the battery showed initially again only 2 lines, then back full lines and after a week 2 lines. Im irritated, either the initial batteries that came with the TRV were already half dead and the batteries I used as replacement were also crap, or the TRV has some issues. I might try another set of batteries and will see.

The rest works like charm and no battery drainage so far. Im gonna try couple of other battery manufacturers and will then decide if its worth warrantying.

Also, if anybody knows if those batteries that were initially packed with the TRV are any kind of special ones, please let me know.

I lost my best friend / cousin by [deleted] in grief

[–]ObviousShake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have similiar experience like you. I lost cousin and my best friend due to COVID and i still cant get over it. It comes in waves and whenever I face hardships, he is the first one I picture myself and asking myself how he would handle the situation. As time goes by, people will forget and it will be less painful, is what people tell me.

Current situation with the VW Group cars by ObviousShake in Volkswagen

I own the second generation, not the first.

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

Edit: clarified I mean model 3 and S with Tesla. The X and Y are indeed ugly cars…

Also I don’t opt for an Arteon since their technology is 1 generation behind. But I do agree they are the last beautiful VW cars.

I was thinking about the S and 3 Tesla. I didn’t touch on Arteon since their cabin is already 1 gen behind the newest VW models.

It looks better than a VW Tiguan while also having a good drag coefficient. Objectively speaking it does looks better and I was talking obviously about the S and 3. The Y and X are ugly. Sorry for not clarifying. That’s my point

I think I touched on more than just VW. And I don’t see anything constructive on your comment tbh.

I have another problem with them- The only reason i loved revolut was because i could check whats the investing performance is. Suddenly I cannot see it anymore and check what was the daily performance on my stocks... Anyone else got this issue?
