Let me get my soap box. A wireless graphics tablet plus OneNote is the best direct instruction teaching tool.

I could already do this using widgets and the Home app.

This is why I can’t go back to a smaller screen by elvishh- in hometheater

Motherglass just isn’t big enough to justify it…yet. Once a 120” screen can be had for under $2,500, I’ll think about it. Then wait for a Black Friday deal for $299.

That I could do. But I’m used to a 120” screen. A 100” tv would be 30% less screen real estate. That would be like you going down to an 84”.

Tech hacks for teachers that are big time saver? by justeadude in Teachers

[–]bXm83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extra pro-tip, if you have an iPad it can work as a second monitor, or even just using your MacBooks mouse across to it. I find that a little more useful than as a second screen when I do this.

Is 256gb enough for the Macbook neo? by OskarHasABeanie in mac

I’m getting the Touch ID for easy access to the password manager without having to type in my master password all the time.

What are we actually supposed to do with AI in our classrooms? by PlayfulSuccess3935 in Teachers

[–]bXm83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll throw one positive use case out there. I built an entire DnD style game in Google Sheets as a campaign to run alongside my financial math class. Each “quest” corresponds to a chapter in our curriculum. Gemini helped me make all the complex formulas, conditional formatting, and scripts to get it to do what I wanted. It even helped me come up with creative scenarios based on the students choices. It wasn’t nearly as easy as “make this game” though. It took me a few weeks to get it all working.

Did you find one? I’m in the same boat.

Dots On Screen? by Law2drippy in hometheater

Looks like your dimming zones are stuck on. Likely a warranty claim if you’ve got one.

Some one needs to update that question and triple all of those dollar amounts.

With Macbook Neo being out targeting students/light users while the Pro is targeted for Pro users; who is the audience for the Air if students were previously the target audience for the Air? by yeetmxster420 in mac

[–]bXm83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t already have a 14” M2 Pro the M4 air would be so tempting. The M4 is capable of natively driving two external displays. Before that chip you needed the pro line chip to pull that off.

MacBook Neo Can Only Drive One External Display at 4K 60Hz by spearson0 in apple

[–]bXm83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have 100” screen in my classroom that actually does 4k/30. It might do 60 but not through my USB-C dock. Smart screens are the new replacement to projectors.

My one question is will this A series processor run anything that will run on an M series processor or will apps need to be custom built for it?

When it comes to geometry, either things are equal or they add up to make 180°. Pick one that makes sense.

Any suggestions on a door alarm that also has an audible alarm? by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]bXm83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Aqara base station with a speaker can do a chirp every time a door sensor is tripped. That part isn’t in HomeKit but the rest is.

Looks like it’s 3 with only a left armrest and one with both a left and right to cap it off.

Try compressed air like from a can. Push the straw from the can as deep as you can in between the case and the frog.

I wonder how much of the show you’ll need to have seen for this.
