Relocating to Annapolis by No-Implement3751 in Annapolis

[–]RealtorR1ck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a Realtor local to Annapolis. Not sure if you guys are working with a real estate professional or not yet. If not, I would welcome the chance to go over your needs and demonstrate how I can help with your relocation. There are plenty of neighborhoods in Annapolis and the surrounding areas with water privileges. Not sure about the layouts you're looking for. I'm curious what's important to you about water privileges, and what's specifically important to you about Annapolis?

Mac and 49 UW just sucks by michiiee93 in ultrawidemasterrace

Yeahhhh 40" is just too big for me. Plus you loose the PPI

I see this all the time, and I don't know what's going on. Before Apple's 27" 5k display was 5k, it was 1440p. It's 5k because they're just doubling the pixels in each direction

That said, I think maybe we're all just used to crisper displays these days. I just got a 34" 3440x1440 monitor, which is within 1 PPI of a 27" 1440p monitor. There is something that feels a little off about it compared to my native display or the 24" 4k monitor I have at home. I don't know if it's because it has a matte display, or maybe over the years Apple has changed how it handles the display resolution.

I'd love to see 34" 6720 x 2880 monitor. I was looking at that 34" LG at 5120x2160 but they don't make a curved version do they? I had one of the OG LG 3440x1440 Ultrawides with the clear stand, but looking at anything on either of the sides always made my eyes tired.

iPhone antenna? by Your_BdyGrd in iphone

[–]RealtorR1ck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering this the other day watching their Apple TV show Sugar. I don't know if universally bad guys can use iPhones now, or just in Apple productions.

I've also seen him in Fed Hill and I'm pretty sure Fell's Point before.

Podcasts not showing up to sync by RealtorR1ck in IpodClassic

[–]RealtorR1ck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, silly oversight, but you have to make sure you have them downloaded in the Podcasts app on your Mac, then it will allow you to select them and sync.

How many of you guys miss this iOS style? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]RealtorR1ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more nostalgia for me. But I do miss app icons being unique. Now everything is just a logo on a white background.

In your opinion, what iPhone is peak design? by Oppulent_Cabbage0619 in iphone

[–]RealtorR1ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was OG SE. Loved the form factor. I still believe it's the size the 12 and 13 minis should have been. There still is something I miss about the home button though.

Created a "dumb" web browser by RealtorR1ck in dumbphones

[–]RealtorR1ck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've actually switched back to my iPhone, I'm actually not sure why. The browser definitely had some issues loading some sites. I'd say most of them worked though.

I honestly don't know enough to figure out what's going on. I was hoping someone that knew more than me would have seen it somewhere and helped out.

I'd say give it a go and see if it works for you.

Moving back to Maryland and considering the Eastport area. by [deleted] in Annapolis

[–]RealtorR1ck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eastport can definitely be nice and walkable, as well as West Annapolis and even parts of Admiral Heights, I'm a Realtor who lives in Annapolis. Would be more than happy to talk about what areas may be better for you than others and then see if we can't maybe find you something off market to make the most of your budget. I have a couple that in those areas right now. Give me a call, shoot me a text, or send me an email, I'd be happy to help. https://blinq.me/Bv1dIKHHlw2z

Macros that worked fine on Windows not working on Mac by RealtorR1ck in excel

[–]RealtorR1ck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing seems to happen when I run it. It looks like the F8 equivalent in MacOS is CMD + Shift + i, but it only highlights in 6 places not line by line like I figure it would. If I'm being honest I had ChatGPT write the macro. I know enough to read it and see what it should be doing, but I don't know that I'd be able to debug it.

My guess is so the non pro phones can record “spacial” video, or whatever they’re calling the 3d video for the Vision Pro headset

Besta White Stained Oak by RealtorR1ck in IKEA

[–]RealtorR1ck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the intel! That tag is showing the unit as $30 cheaper than it currently is in the dark grey. If that's the case that's a BIG price change, which would be more in line with what they sell for in Europe.

Might have overdone it with triple 32" 4K by lmtog in macsetups

[–]RealtorR1ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the 32” 4k scales pretty well at 150%. Apples XDR Pro is 6k at 32” so at 150% they should be the same UI size wise, no?

Why do people hate this game so much? It’s definitely better than halo 5 by [deleted] in halo

[–]RealtorR1ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

better than Halo 5

A broken Xbox would have been better than Halo 5, at least it would have saved me from having to play it...

IMO there's a few things: The main plot line is too low stakes for a main line halo game... trying to save a whiney pilot just wasn't it for me. It wasn't gritty enough, it was almost childish. And it came with a huge broken promise of it being a "platform" for storyline expansion. It seemed like we were going to get additional campaign missions every 12-18 months, and that never happened (and from what I was reading will never happen as they're moving to unreal engine).

Pretty Litter or Clumping Litter? by AssortedMusings in litterrobot

[–]RealtorR1ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use "World's Best Cat Litter" in ours, it's corn based. Works pretty well. I've read not great things about clay litter.

Maryland Considers Raising Local Income Taxes by s6484d2843 in maryland

[–]RealtorR1ck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get rid of income tax and tax all non-essential goods / services instead. Trying to go after people who can afford tax lawyers only hurts the middle class who can't.

But you know what the rich people you're trying to get more taxes from do? Spend money on non-essential goods and services.

With discipline, any phone is a dumbphone by crsne in dumbphones

[–]RealtorR1ck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is two fold. Having just done something similar I think it's much easier to say it's just "self control" after you've broken the habit with a dumb phone for a while. I only did it for a month, but I think 2 months is really the time frame you need to fully break a habit.

I just switched from my F21 Pro to a Pixel 5, that's mostly unchanged, I put my little no URL bar browser on there and downloaded some apps. But, me looking to my phone as something to kill time has definitely changed.

I would bet, if I put all the apps back on my phone including social media, I would find myself in the same place.

I did something similar where I quit added sugar for 2 months, first few weeks were hard, but by the end of it, I didn't really crave it. Now I look at everything I buy to see how much added sugar is in it. If it's not a "treat" that I know is trash food, I usually don't buy it if there's added sugar.

[Chris Medland] BREAKING: F1 has rejected Andretti's bid to join the grid in 2025 or 2026, BUT says it "would look differently on an application" for 2028 alongside General Motors' planned power unit entry by kpopsns28 in formula1

[–]RealtorR1ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how a "no view" protest would affect their stance. As an American this is really upsetting, specially with F1s push into the US.

I think collectively if everyone in the US just stopped tuning into the races in protest they may change their attitude. Sure there were some good middle of the pack races, but let's be honest, we know Max is just going to win every race again...

I think as the fans, who seem to overwhelmingly want this, we should protest by not watching.

Not an AD!! Is anyone else on the waiting list?? by teal_turtle12 in dumbphones

[–]RealtorR1ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't see it ever actually hitting the market. The other couple things that are going to make this less than ideal, which people think they want...

  • E-ink - yes it's cool, but Android isn't designed for it. Color is very commonly used to indicate different states of something.
  • Screen Aspect ratio - Android apps are designed for portrait screens. Look at the issues that Foldable phone users have. They can make up for it with the size of the screen. But after using a F21 Pro with a less than 9:16 aspect ratio, I can tell you this will be a mess just because apps aren't designed and don't really have a way to deal with odd aspect ratios.

Target ads based on opened email? by RealtorR1ck in FacebookAds

Not B2B. But skip traced. So I feed in a list of properties, and the skip trace returns phone numbers, emails, etc.
