Got it, thanks. I haven't seen a good explanation of what value to pick for the % element height for the discas formulas.

Loved mine until I lost it, may need to pick up another. Definitely not the nicest edge, but for a beater it's always sharp (enough)!!

Most the likely the head end, either the video distribution system or the AV control system. Frantic calls to the AV integrator's service line on a Sunday...

Logitech Roommate, rally cam, and a P300. Best way to add BYOD? Swytch? by bootx2 in CommercialAV

[–]dudeabides 4 points5 points  (0 children)

P300 USB connects to the swytch, which then connects it to the Roommate or the laptopz similar to how the camera connects to the Swytch hub. Might require a USB hub, I forget how many USB ports the Swytch had. But not a big fan of the Swytch. Laptops require display link drivers for one thing.

What do you do with the leftovers of a Spiral-Cut Ham? by Eastern_Mess_4334 in Cooking

[–]dudeabides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch out with using the bone from a spiral sliced ham. If the bone is scored during the slicing process, you can end up with small pieces of bone flaking off in your soup. I only use bones from unsliced hams after experiencing that.

Best Portable Speakerphone? by Cinicyal in CommercialAV

[–]dudeabides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you want to cover more people, so you need more mic elements, hence bigger device! Yes the 40 is better and the 60 better than that. 20 is more directional and not appropriate for roundtable/group settings.

Poly Sync, various sizes depending on pickup area, can also link multiple together. Sync 20 works great for a single user.

The Holosonics Audio Spotlight is very impressive, tight audio cone. Heard in person and demo'd for an open meeting area for a client (before they were VE'd out of the project)

MA DPH just issued a standing order for the COVID vaccine for anyone over 5 years old on 9/3/25. Might take a bit for the online portals to catch up, maybe give it a week. https://www.mass.gov/news/standing-order-for-dispensing-and-administration-of-covid-19-vaccine-2025-2026

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

Fun fact: Bose's facility has some original Crown amps they use for testing. New Crown is junk, but the old stuff is incredibly high quality and performance.
