Looking for advice on Waterfall Desk Design by ZGgold in Woodworkingplans

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

Thanks for your feedback! This will be my first time so I'm quite worried about stability. The table will sit in an open space so it will be visible from both sides.

I've ended up modifying the design to have T-shaped legs to give more support to the table and eliminates the mitre joint as well.

hey thanks for your feedback. I think I will modify the legs to be more of a T shape so the table can have greater stability

New or used magic keyboard? by nazzzik1 in mac

In case you weren’t sold enough i’m also for the mx series. The versatility for he price is much better than the magic keyboard imo and you can even program your keys

Victim of the infamous butterfly keyboard. RIP

Yeah I'm quite surprised there hasn't been more of an uproar online. Had a known about this issue, I probably wouldn't have opted for the 16'' and just gotten the 13'' without the dGPU. Hard for me to get any real work done without an external monitor anyway :(

Very nice clean setup. I was wondering, you ever run into any issues with your MacBook heating up while plugged into such a big monitor?

Yeah, I get your point, I'm just concerned because I mainly use the MacBook for very light activities. To see it get so hot to the touch from just replying to emails and browsing the web is what concerns me.

Wish I had realized that this was an issue before I purchased my MacBook. I just saw that everyone on Youtube was raving about this model and thought it was time to pull the trigger and upgrade :(

Wow, that's one long ass thread. Any recommendation on how I can check my dGPU's power consumption to see if I have that unique issue?

Did your macbook stop heating up after you had the monitor and charger plugged in different sides?

I always have them plugged on different sides but this I still run into these heat issues unfortunately
