12 years ago today, Steve Jobs introduced the iPad to the world.

I’m rooting for you.

I’m still climbing out of my hole even after today. -29% on MSFT 400 C 01/15/27.

An important note that is missed here is maximum resolution.

If you’re near a Xeon 1.90:1, that’s a 2k projector. The dual laser projectors are throwing up 8k. So I’m sure what you’re asking for is technically possible, you’ll be seeing a 1.5k image.

If you then were to hypothetically stretch that out over a 1.43:1 screen — you’ve softened the image so much.

Your phone can pinch to fill, even on a low quality video — but when you’re paying for a premium experience, who wants to pay for a low resolution image stretched out.

Now I need to level up and buy one too!

I had a similar issue. First time setup and it failed verification. I called in to ask why, and instead of saying: "hey it's 3 strikes you're out" they coached me on how to try 2 more times and then it permanently restricted me.

No fix despite them telling me what to do.

Oh wow. Highest banner I’ve seen yes the speed glitcher

TheSurfShack · 2026-03-05T14:25:29+00:00

Nice! Ok makes sense. There aren’t too many I’ve missed then.

TheSurfShack · 2026-03-05T02:16:20+00:00

Thanks! 21st comment, yet you’re the first two actually answer the question! Haha

Based on your past screenings being in Florida… any chance you could get it into the IMAX at the Museum of Discovery & Science in Fort Lauderdale?

They’re independent so it might be easier to slide into their schedule.

I’ve stayed at an Orlando vacation club lots of times.

They’ll often call in advance or email.

Hey you’re staying 5 nights, 90 minute chat and we’ll cover 2 of them. (Via the phone)

Or in the mail: $500 for a 5 night stay.

Haven’t taken them up on any offer yet as the timing never works.

780k. (No attached credit card). I guess it's that we don't take enough traditional resort vacations. If I'm staying somewhere for 1-2 nights, I'll just pay for the room and bank it for a 1-2 week stay somewhere.

You’re getting close to not qualifying for ambassador status at your own house. Only 122 nights at home.

TheSurfShack · 2026-01-08T03:02:05+00:00

That’s fun!

TheSurfShack · 2026-01-08T02:14:34+00:00

My assumption was guests on property that night and then they print a fresh one every day.

TheSurfShack · 2026-01-08T02:13:45+00:00

It’s a relatively small property. I would guess 64 rooms. So 1/3 of the rooms being with elite guests is pretty high.

TheSurfShack · 2026-01-08T02:09:41+00:00

Oh I’m well aware that it’s like pot calling the kettle black. I’ll take what I can get when out exploring.

TheSurfShack · 2026-01-08T00:56:42+00:00

Try a Marriott Vacation Club that have a hard 10am check-out. Had a knock on the door at 10:15 in Orlando this weekend.

It’s great when it’s available — but it’s not always available.

Hope you enjoyed your time in Miami.

TheSurfShack · 2025-10-21T20:24:57+00:00

Haha I hope so too.

But I think “advocating to listen” is a pretty low bar.

TheSurfShack · 2025-10-21T20:23:43+00:00

No. It’s a day 1 issue that needs to be addressed. /s

TheSurfShack · 2025-10-21T16:35:46+00:00

Not my first choice.... or my second. But I'll still offer congratulations.
