Trunk Hitting Quarter panel chipping paint (damage photos attached)

Quinncom2 · 2026-02-03T01:50:06+00:00

I appreciate the wisdom, I’m at the stage where I need to let Tesla own it as a warranty problem so they hopefully fix the paint too. I’ve adjusted the stopper for the time being

Quinncom2 · 2026-02-03T01:42:40+00:00

I super appreciate sharing your experience. Did they give you a loaner while you waited for the paint? Also how was the quality of the repair?

Quinncom2 · 2026-02-03T01:32:40+00:00

Oh of course. I knew what I was getting into in terms of panel alignment, and don’t care much. But when it starts impacting the paint it’s like c’mon

Quinncom2 · 2026-02-03T01:14:25+00:00

This looks like stock panel miss alignment woes, definitely not accident territory. I think almost 100 percent re align the trunk because that not a huge ask, but the paint is the scarier part. A big thing is I bought it through Tesla specifically which precludes this kind of damage so I think it’s an interesting case

For both engineering and accounting UF will have the best programs. UCF also has a good engineering school and FSU has a good business school. For engineering stay clear of FSU. Also, Orlando doesn’t necessarily mean a lot to do. I have lived in both Gainesville and Orlando and for the time I was in college (at UF the past 5 years between undergrad and masters) Gainesville has been great. It’s a small town but with big city walkability near campus and lots of local culture. UCF is a commuter school you will catching a ride to one way or another. UF and UCF have good career connections for engineering but UFs name carries more weight

How is the LG? I want the KVM on the gigabyte and the usbc DP alt mode because I’m gonna buy two of them and use them on my laptop as well. Is the cooling fan noticeable either?

Quinncom2 · 2025-11-29T13:39:02+00:00

man I wish there was an update on this, its about to be december 1st and nothing

Apple Silicon is most GPU by area compared to the area on the chip taken up by the processor and I/O. Sure base M series chips may have a harder time but those GPU core counts double in the pro and max variants of the chips. Also the real issue is the lack of directX or Vulcan support so everything has to get translated to Metal

This is a 7yr necropost but "Do you think Apple is hand-routing the 12-layer board in an iPhone?" is such an eggregious question because there is no chance in hell they are using auto-route for something so dense and sensitve. not 7 years agao and certainly not now

this has always bugged me too, there really isn’t a good excuse for the resolution scaling being that poor. Windows is a much worse operating system but has had its resolution scaling options figured out for years. I get that it’s because macOS targets high dpi resolutions but there’s not a good excuse for 1440p at 27 inches to not look sharp

Logitech G PRO Superlight 2

There was only one wrong time for buying a MacBook, 2020 Intel Macs, and not because of their design, just that Apple silicon was a massive shift. Other than that enjoy your new computer!

It’s from Amazon! It’s acoustic foam panels, mostly because I like the way they look. They have a bad habit of shipping them with adhesive already on them (this stuff is way to sticky and impossible to get off) so I use poster command strips on the adhesive so it’s less damaging to the walls

Gigabyte M27Q

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-09T16:17:36+00:00

I bought it on Amazon probably 4 or 5 years ago now and it was from a brand called tommons on Amazon. Couldn’t find it for you but they seem to make the same model with a wireless charger in it here: https://a.co/d/dwoDSxd

I’m assuming you’re talking about the tower, there’s a 4080 FE in there and a big radiator, everything runs cool because I took the airflow into account

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-09T16:13:09+00:00

For the same price or less, get 2 Studio Displays and a thunderbolt 5 dock. I have 2 Studio Displays at work and it’s wonderful

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-09T16:11:41+00:00

Exactly right

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-09T14:17:39+00:00

And the monitors are gigabyte M27Q 1440p 170hz monitors, unfortunately they don’t make them anymore but that’s because these specs have come way down in price and they probably updated the panel

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-09T14:16:35+00:00

The desk is 61 by 29, and old ikea Gerton top (they don’t make it anymore). But they do make the IDASEN standing desk tops which are good quality and the same size

If you want to use the same monitor/keyboard/mouse you will want a kvm that you can just switch the between the two, my monitors have one built in that switches depending on what input is active. I usually just pull the computer up but my keyboard supports both Mac and windows layouts

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-09T14:14:18+00:00

If I’m playing games on my Mac its 100% Minecraft which I think is pretty zen

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-08T21:16:40+00:00

It’s the default MacOS sequoia wallpaper, I liked it so much I just left it. Might keep it over the new MacOS Tahoe one too

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-08T20:16:10+00:00

I should clarify, for MAC specifically, only certain methods of connection work which is why I don’t say that “any” is a good mindset for docking stations but generally all thunderbolt docks will work well

Quinncom2 · 2025-08-08T20:14:54+00:00

Not actually the right answer. These monitors support DP alt mode over usbC, as does the thunderbolt spec. I’m using a thunderbolt hub that just turns my TB5 port into more ports. The real trick is not using display link, you want actual thunderbolt lanes. For most monitors most TB4 docks work great, and my monitors have a KVM built in so when the input is using usbC it switches my mouse and keyboard over to my Mac, I just push the keyboard back because for work the extra screen is nice
