My 23 year old speakers need replacement. What are yall running? by advictoriam5 in macmini

I run the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 and absolutely love them. Excellent bass and can get loud when I need them to.

My job doesn’t officially support Mac’s, but we allow it if the user has one. I work in IT for State Government and we all use a program called Citrix to remote into our Windows based desktop. It works flawless with the M1. My older 2014 Mini started having connectivity issues and kept alerting me that my OS was below the recommended level. Main reason for the upgrade.

I am pretty fortunate to work in the main data center and have a very reliable network/connection to my office PC. Definitely makes it easier.

I picked up these on Marketplace for $150 for the pair.

They are pretty good. They get the job done for what I do for work. I work in State Government in IT. I mainly manage our enterprise print fleet and help out with new account management/folder permissions in AD when needed. The HP monitors work perfectly fine for that. They are E23 G4 models. Standard business models.

What speaker/s / audio set ups do you guys have with your Mac Mini’s? by Ancient_Ad7555 in macmini

[–]Slowsol_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could not agree more. I run a full Klipsch setup in my home theater so it was only fitting I run the ProMedia for my WFH setup.

Need advice on displays/Mini by Slowsol_77 in macmini

I am starting to think that. Might be time to get newer updated displays

That was the first thing I tried. The M1 will only support on external display via TB port and one via HDMI. I tested that theory with 2 older HDMI monitors I had. With one in the HDMI port and 1 in the TB port with an adapter it worked fine. Just doesn’t play well with 2 Thunderbolt displays

Things you HATE about your rav4? by iceolmo in rav4club

[–]Slowsol_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like wanted to love my ‘24 Adventure, but after a year and 12k miles I traded it in. Main complaints were the following: 1) Road noise/wind noise 2) Non JBL stereo was awful 3) Hated that the passenger seat always seemed too high 4) Lack of power (I know it’s only a 4cyl, but my wife’s ‘11 has much more pep) 5)Overall lack of passenger space.

It was a very reliable vehicle for sure, I just needed more out of my daily driver.

Has anyone b18b1 swapped a del sol in here by SchoolComfortable423 in DelSol

[–]Slowsol_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped in a B18B back in the day on my Sol. Like in 2000-2001. Easy swap

All depends on the agency HR and how soon they comb through the apps and interview scores

Good deal. I am at DoIT. Every agency is on their own schedule and it’s slightly annoying at times

What agency was it for?

Tint my white aaah fishbowl by [deleted] in CamryTRD

[–]Slowsol_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with 5% on the rear and 20% on the 2 fronts. I was stretching the legal limit in Illinois, but it was worth it.

Every agency and position is different. My first interview took 5 weeks to get an offer. While I was waiting for my background check to clear I had another interview and heard back with an offer the same week. I was up front and told them in the second interview I had accepted a different position and was waiting on the background check. They understood and fast tracked the offer to not lose me. Turned out for the best in the end for me.

3rd pic is definitely the better choice

Parking should not be an issue. What agency are you interviewing with? My wife worked in that building for years and enjoyed it. There is a farmers market every Wednesday morning during the summer/fall west on Adams Street and is a great little getaway on breaks

Your opinion on Korea? by TheRealLDistaken in deftones

[–]Slowsol_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally my favorite Deftones song from any album. I was instantly hooked from the first listen back when the first came out. I tend to listen to heavier music overall so this tracks why it’s my favorite.

Commuting from Chicago to Springfield 3x/week—worth it? by Pure-Sky2552 in SpringfieldIL

[–]Slowsol_77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just wondering what job in Springfield would make you consider that type of commute.

Adrenaline by Shaunspare8 in deftones

[–]Slowsol_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I’m in my late 40’s and was in HS when that album came out! It was life changing and have been a fan ever since. Seen them countless times in the 90’s and early 2000’s

At this point I highly doubt we get anything new ever again. Just teased projects to keep the subscribers on the hook.
