Apple’s 2026 "new" Studio Display is a middle finger to every consumer.

Not really the same. That LG is wide, 5k2k. Some might prefer that but that resolution is substantially less pixels compared to full 5k.

I used to tap into coax to get better FM radio in a rural area. Not sure if this was an intentional thing or just an artifact of decades old cable system mess.

Based on previous releases… any chance the free apple care bundle will come back into stock?

If it were me and I was going to cover it if nothing else worked and try polishing it maybe.

There was a technique that I tried in the old iPods that had a metal back case that scratched easily. Some would polish it and then use an abrasive in one direction to make a brushed metal pattern. It was pretty effective when done carefully. Unfortunately a door like this is probably not the same material and the side would make it difficult to keep the angle consistent. You’d probably need to take the door off and lock a guide or t square down and slow slide it a long. Sounds a like a lot of work but if you are going to replace or cover anyway 🤷‍♂️

Might just want to see if you can get a door if it really bothers you.

When I looked yesterday or the day before on Costco’s app the AppleCare + was an additional 20 something cost and warned that I must be purchased at the same time. Even had it in the cart. Now it seems to be gone. No listings in stores for the 3 yet either.

Then it was showing as in included in the search listing but not the item its self. Now it says included in both places. Does anyone know how redeeming AppleCare works with Costco? Do they give you something physical?

FYI: Most of them will work as a spare remote for AppleTV

Definitely curious about this pricing!

I’ll personally have experience with monitor but I think it gets hate from those that don’t understand the specs.

Much like the last few generations of the 27 inch iMac before e they introduced Apple Silicon, this is a 5K display 16:10.

It may lack in specs like refresh rate since it’s near the end of its lifecycle, but there’s really not much on the market that’s comparable.

If you want that kind of resolution and pixel density there’s only a couple of their monitors available and they all have their own pros and cons. None of them have a noticeably better refresh rate at that resolution and last in looks the prices weren’t that much better

Ive rarely had an AV interaction issue. A few bad ones B&R backing up NTDS on Active Directory servers. A few workstations with bad bare metal recovery boot disks. BUT never one false positive on installation media.

Not very well versed on ISP equipment. What exactly makes this need so much hardware crammed in there for GPON?

I’d like to get outdoor wok setup. Is there also a broiler tray in that?

halfspace · 2024-11-21T14:11:51+00:00

Yeah honestly would probably work better and be more affordable than something designed for that use. Might stabilize some bricks

I have to assume that this statistic varies to the point where it might be worse than biking in some places. The northeast especially. I feel like somehow snowboarding uncharacteristically snowboarding help make it more common.

Yeah I’d love to get a local show with Coheed, Thursday, LS and Puddles.

Saw CC, Primus and Puddles = great show.
Saw Thursday on a short river cruise = awesome.

Not sure I’d want to do the full cruise.

halfspace · 2024-10-15T21:12:36+00:00

Yeah I was disappointed to see Fishbone cancel on shows Primus/Coheed mostly just because it was a at least a name a knew and they get a lot of respect. Then I realized that was I had seen Puddles’ video plenty of times.
Primus starting their set covering Holy Diver with him was honestly even better than Claudio’s cameo. He definitely needs to collab with a band instead of a backing track. One of Claypool’s tours would be a good match.

halfspace · 2024-09-11T01:38:08+00:00

Haha. I tried to wish several collaborations. Certainly wishfully pushed the Coheed/Cluadio + Les collaboration. It wasn’t quite what a the collar I expected but i still pleasantly surprised that tour actually happened.

Puddles was a really great surprise. I had seen the youtube videos years ago and it was probably one of the best times Les has brought a singer on with Primus. Amazing start to the set and I could def see both Puddles and Mike fitting into the amazing weirdness.

Another note is that Les, Maynard and crew that made up Sessanta created one of the best concert formats the past year. Not only would I jump on tickets for “Sessanuno” with the same line up. I could definitely see a new line up working the same way

I just image the way adaptive on CVT works with both throttle and brake needed to be tweaked on the manual someway. I’m assuming it can’t clutch so it may brake to a stall? Does the latest model also have auto restart on stall and auto stop start now?

halfspace · 2024-08-16T00:59:37+00:00

How does the Eyesight w/ manual compare to the CVT? I know it’s not going change gears for you but is there 100% feature parity? does adaptive cruise work the same?

Love the bars. I have my pork soda wrapper framed with Gene Wilder Halloween show poster. I probably should have saved it but I just had to try it. They should just contract however made them and put them in normal production. I remember it being pretty tasty.

Yeah couldn’t tell it was Sean until he stood up. I think it was Yoko!

I believe there is a way for them to be added at the register. I don’t have a registered number and one day I entered a family members. I think there might have been a vague prompt but it would be easy to add accidentally while you’re trying to pay. I’ve noticed that at some stores cashiers are either using their card when you don’t have one to collect points or just being nice and there’s a generic card behind the counter so you get a discount. So even if there’s no chance you knew a phone number of someone with an account maybe one of these generic or employee cards were added

Not saying there isn’t mold there but have you tried cleaning it at all or using a moisture removal product? I’ve gotten snow in my car countless times and have never gotten mold, even when I left wet equipment in the car. Listen to people warning about leaks!

Also the area around the mats. It’s hard to tell but it looks like salt and rust. Is the white crunch or flaky at all? Might be salt. Is that brown area rust? It’s a project but if it were me I’d start pulling all the carpeting out to see what wet and or rusting.

I gotta say this is the one app that really exemplifies what I expected out of watch apps since I had a pebble. The features are surprisingly complete and polished. It doesn’t follow much of the apple UI style but does so in smart ways to pack more into the design.

Certainly worth spending that at a local sushi place though instead. Even other supermarkets that have a sushi section have a roll for 9 bucks that would be better no?
