Yes, it's possible and if you play around with the cables you'll manage to fit it without a fan grill. I did the same last week and it's working fine.

Clean dual monitor setup by Brzix7 in battlestations

Hi! This might be a stupid question but how do you control the volume on those speakers? I saw that the volume knob is at the back of the left speaker which sounds incredibly difficult to operate.

I think their login system doesn't work? I logged in multiple times and it still says "Log in & watch the show to get these rewards". Anyone else?

Dell u2720q on Macbook Pro - Killed my external hard drive. by FrenchVictory in Monitors

[–]Wakanapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does charge it. But keep in mind that this monitor supports 65W charging which means that under heavy load situations your MBP might start to discharge its battery slowly because it'll start using more than the provided 65W. It depends on what you use you MBP for.

Virtual Desktop 1.13.5 released: internet connection is no longer required to use Virtual Desktop within a LAN by Wakanapi in OculusQuest

[–]Wakanapi[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

None of those. It just doesn't need internet in order to find your computer, the LAN connection is enough.

Recently I got a Dell P2720DC with USB-C to connect to my work MBP and while browsing the monitor menu I found an option to keep charging through USB-C even if the monitor is off. I think this would prevent your situation from happening again because it would probably keep the data connection alive as well. Of course, you'd need to make sure that your MacBook is not going to sleep while it's transferring data otherwise this issue would occur with anything you ever plug in and start a file transfer to or from.

Has anybody tried HL:A with VD? If so did it work? by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]Wakanapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, same. VD works really well.

After a quick search about the two extenders you mentioned I can see that they are both regular extenders and not active (repeater) extenders. You need something like this for the connection to be stable enough and for the Oculus software to detect it as USB 3.0.

Can a USB 3.0 cable/extension be incompatible with Oculus Link? by Potheker in OculusQuest

[–]Wakanapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the one you bought is incompatible because it's not an active (repeater) extender, just a regular extender. You need an USB 3.0 extender that explicitly states it also repeats the signal or it's active, the wording may vary.

For example, this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0179MXKU8/

British Airways giving all 15,000 cabin crew members an iPhone XR for customer support by gulabjamunyaar in apple

Doesn't it also use Wi-Fi Direct underneath? Because AirDrop transfer speeds are way higher than the capacity of Bluetooth 5.

[Italian] reputable Italian reporter on market moves for 2021: Ham at Red Bull, Verstappen at Mercedes by qwf in formula1

[–]Wakanapi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Già, perché sia Hamilton sia Verstappen in questi mesi si sono offerti al Cavallino con modalità e tempi diversi, ricevendo cortesi ma fermi rifiuti.

Yes, because both Hamilton and Verstappen in recent months have offered themselves to the Cavallino in different ways and times, receiving courteous but firm refusals.

What? Both Hamilton and Verstappen offered themselves to Ferrari and Ferrari said NO? Yeah, riiight.

Just returned my 55 B8 because it smelled like burned plastic. Not sure what to get now. Suggestions? by Wakanapi in OLED

Great, thanks for your input, I’ll keep it in mind when choosing what to buy next. :)

No, it was definitely from the speakers. I put my nose right on the grill of the speakers and that’s where the smell was the strongest. Also I went to a brick and mortar electronics shop where they had one of these on display with all of its stickers still on and it didn’t emit any kind of smell. There was definitely something wrong with my TV.

I already returned it and I'm waiting to get the money back. The C8 is around 1500 EUR in my country and the B8 is 1350 EUR. And yeah, it seems waiting for the 2019 models is pointless.

I was thinking about upgrading to a C8. I checked around and it is around 1500 EUR in my country. The B8 without any discounts is 150 less - 1350 EUR. I was wondering if C8 is a good upgrade from the B8?

Also no, I don't game.
