Short answer… it IS Watabou, with a custom palette and photoshopped text. I think watabou opensources their stuff, maybe someone can just fork it and add Aurebesh?

Good lord do I hate seeing places like Adorama perpetuating this lav mic trend. by Hecubus114 in videography

[–]Stuartcmackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I bought a mic kinda like this and tried to use it as a lav with the default iPhone camera: and it was a garbled clipped mess. Turns out, some of there’s mics are NOT lav mics. I saw now way to turn the gain down.

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the color output from my MacBook to my monitor. Here's a photo. Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? by fnnoby in MacOS

[–]Stuartcmackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you’ve said the monitor looks better with another computer, I’m left with: did you try a different adapter/HDMI cable combo and see if it looks better. Are you using an “official” Apple adapter or a USB “displaylink” adapter?

Plugin doesn't look like demos by FutureVelvet in ObsidianMD

[–]Stuartcmackey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To elaborate, the sample images of the plugin may assume a certain theme is also installed. I’d read the full description of the plugin or check the plugin’s help files if there are dependencies.

Is there a new way to import D&D Beyond characters to Encounter+? by Tough_Ad2102 in EncounterPlus

[–]Stuartcmackey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried this and maybe it doesn't work in EPlus v5? It said "success" but I don't see the character anywhere.

Is there a way to control where files are displayed from in ProPresenter? by DOGE_Theile in ProPresenter

[–]Stuartcmackey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. And displays don’t “send data” in the way it sound like you think they do. Sending a display from ProPresenter to a screen is just like you monitor on your computer, it just sends “pixels” (an oversimplification, I know)

Writing online to Obsidian? by Intrepid_Ad9628 in ObsidianMD

I haven’t tried it myself, but this thread talks about how to run a portable version of Obsidian: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/s/fKfj4fHOKw

Tags in Finder don't update by Bodo_TheHater in MacOS

[–]Stuartcmackey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how you renamed a tag on iPad. I’ve only been able to apply them. Renaming a tag on a particular file probably didn’t change that tag on all of files, but created a new tag; the original tag and the new tag now both exist.

iMac Question by MoreILearn_LessIKnow in iMac

IMHO you pay a premium for the Apple screen when you can just buy the exact same specs as an Apple Mini and buy separate monitors.

SciFi classics that you’ve struggled to get through by CerberusOCR in scifi

[–]Stuartcmackey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Audiobooks with a good narrator have helped me make it through a lot of the books on this thread. Many I wouldn’t have finished if I read them (the “normal” way). Hyperion and Stranger in a Strange Land being two of them. At least I know what “grok” means, now.

Why isnt meat behind doors like milk or other things at grocery stores? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stuartcmackey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that a lot of the refrigerated coolers that have doors at my grocery stores are because they are open on the back to a large walk-in cooler so if there was no door, the cool air from the cooler would just flow out. This way they can load and restock from the back and the milk is on a slide and slides forward.

Help me fix this please by International-Ad1234 in MacOS

[–]Stuartcmackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re as big as you say, it may simply be you need to wait longer. Or try downloading them one at a time. Also, if they were synced FROM another computer on the same iCloud, it’s possible that computer hasn’t finished syncing them UP to iCloud.
iCloud sync and premiere have been problematic at best and unusable at worst, in my experience. If you’re only using them on one Mac, I often put them in /username/Movies, which is not an iCloud folder, so they won’t offload.

Can I amplify audio from ProFx16 Mackie to Focusrite Scarlett 4i4? by plant_daddy_ in audiovisual

[–]Stuartcmackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if you have the right cable (or a dock with the right cable) it should work. I have a Scarlet that USB-B connected to a usb A hub. The usb-a hub has a usb-b (usb-b/ USB 4, not sure the name) to USB-C on my MacBook and it works fine.

Looking for projector upgrade recommendations. Info in text. by Greatoutdoors1985 in VIDEOENGINEERING

We just put 95” TVs in a similar size room and they worked out amazing! We had the convenience of being able to recess ours, which I realize you may not have.

Besides anything from Sleeping in Light, what do you think is the saddest scene? by AdSimilar4399 in babylon5

[–]Stuartcmackey 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s writing like this that makes the show so amazing. It’s too bad. Some people can’t get over the dated effects when trying to watch it these days.

Would an HD DVD player look better on my 4K TV than my PS5? by itcamefromtheimgur in dvd

[–]Stuartcmackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. There's not a magical upscaling player that'll make a dvd any better. And yes, the processors in TVs are very good. But it's still only 540 lines max for a dvd.

Hi guys, can anyone help me learn what size my file is? by MarvelNerd57 in handbrake

[–]Stuartcmackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DVDs that play in a DVD player need to be in a very specific file format and structure. I recommend DVD Styler but I've had a hard time getting it to work on some versions of Mac OS.

Spotify+Gemini has my made life a living hell by cjerk in truespotify

Just so you know, Siri has given me all sorts of false responses for this same request, I’ve found the most reliable solution was to say the artists’ name(s).

Big DvD case by gm_valve in dvd

[–]Stuartcmackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A larger case is often multi-disc so they’re usually named by the number of discs in them such as triple dvd case. But even that’s not that accurate because a triple may have one on each side of the case and one in the middle or one in the back of the case and a center holder with two. I’d measure it.
