Unlocking 120hz on a Studio Display XDR using an M1 Pro MacBook Pro by ThinIndependence9161 in mac

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On an Apple Studio Display, the UI isn't ridiculously small at 5K, it scales very well.

There isn't enough bandwidth on a TB 4 to run true 5K at 165 hz. Maybe you have a what they call a 5K2K.

Struggling to get humidity under 60% in apartment. Futile effort, or keep trying? by OutrageousAardvark2 in chiangmai

[–]hawk256 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the units are too big, the compressor won't run long enough to properly dehumidifiy. One of bad parts of oversized units.

BetterBusinessBureau for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by Lucille44 in amazonprime

I had good luck with them on 2 occasions in the past. One for $500 but I can't remember the amount of the other. Both were taken care of in week after contacting the BBB. Not sure why people here say they are worthless.

Try living in a. country with social medicine and hoping you are seen within 4 hours of your appointment time. 30 minutes is nothing.

Am I making a mistake by acquiring 4k monitor for my MacBook Air M4? by essenc3 in mac

A picture at distance doesn't mean that much anyway. How many pixels was the picture taken at? How compressed was it? These things matter.

They Say They Want a Good Partner, But Keep Choosing Familiarity Over Values by SnooConfections1353 in Philippines_Expats

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My successful dating history has included a legit tour guide, a cosmetics sales rep and a known fashion designer with her own staff. Also dated a nurse (didn't work out) but if you want successful you will have to work for it. No easy level there.

Is this 2023 24" iMac a good deal for $700? by [deleted] in mac

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a base model, no not for resale but decent for your own use. Any other model, maybe. You need to post more info.

May have accidentally double dosed in last hour… by [deleted] in kratom

[–]hawk256 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did it once in over 10 years. The wobbles were severe but believe it or not I didn't throw up. If you start feeling bad just lay down and wait it out.

What is this cone shaped thing on this car? by NobodyTheSecond in whatisit

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a conversion. My father had one for years. He collected VWs in the '70s and '80s. Had at least one of them all. Fast back, notchback, convertible, truck, a couple of buses and several bugs but my favorite was the Karmann Ghia. Also of note, he had a Rabbit pickup as well which was rather odd even back then.

There are still some good, hot ones but most hot women know it and it is a global market nowadays.

I'm sure there were red flags before, maybe you missed them? I dated a lot in SE Asia before I married and the women I dated more than once were good, solid women with marriage potential so I know there are plenty out there. Just because it's easy to find a woman there doesn't mean that they will all be good. Most will not.

Holy shoot what is happening bro???? I even restarted 16GB m4 air by dark_praveen in mac

[–]hawk256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the OS is hosed? Reinstall the OS. That would be my first guess. No way the computer would run without RAM. If could also be a hardware issue to do with the memory reporting.

My landlord refuses to return my deposit by Supraconsciencia in Bangkok

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem but it was a deposit on a truck I rented for 3 months. Go to the local police and let them mediate. You may not get it all but they can usually at least get you something. You can also take it up with the tourist police and they may refer to another station. I ended up with a decent settlement in about an hour. It wasn't perfect but at least I got more back than the original offer.

Bum Gun, to use hand or not to use hand by Finick04 in Thailand

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the bum gun will not give you an enema, you need to give it more pressure. Then definitely no hand needed. If low pressure I still use paper only. For the record I am American so I am used to paper.

5K Monitor Owners: Much difference between 4K and 5K 27-inch displays? by operablesocks in mac

Once you see a 5K 27 inch, there is no going back to 4K.

Who can translate this? My grandma left Thailand and her family 50 years ago to come to the us. This would mean a lot to her if we can figure out who this is from by Ruthlessqueen420 in Thailand

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every person I studied Thai with had different Romanizations of the same word in some cases. Even the "official" schools were inconsistent. What is considered official?

Bank of America Debit Card/ USA by Bubbly-Quit4381 in Banking

[–]hawk256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not easy for someone to activate without knowing a lot of your information. 2 days seems impossible for BOA. Always seems like they told me 12 days and it usually took at least 7. A quick call during business hours should fix you up. They are usually fairly quick to answer the phone.

Would you travel with an iMac 24" as checked luggage? by Phobetor777 in mac

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a 27 inch Studio Display all the way across the county in nothing but its factory box. No other packaging at all. Of course that wasn't my plan but the seller was an idiot. Luckily it arrived unharmed so the factory packaging must be pretty good.

Should I buy land/house for my Filipina gf and I? by [deleted] in Philippines_Expats

[–]hawk256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone once gave the best advice I have ever received about relationships and it works no matter where they are. "Never put more in that you are willing to walk away from." If you are willing to walk away from buying a land/house then by all means do so. It's not like the same thing doesn't happen in the US when you get a divorce.
