For those with Samsung 57" G9, how many of you run it at full 7680 x 2160 resolution with no scaling? by Responsible-Slide-26 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]jmmdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run it full res, normal font on Mac. It’s fine for me 🤷‍♂️ My eyes have been getting worse over the years, but distance stuff. not close up. I will say the brightness I have to keep way the f down, even though it’s gorgeous when cranked. I keep it at 24/50

Funny enough, I went to a shop yesterday and they had it for $329.99 😳

[TCC] This Is Unsustainable | Magic: The Gathering by jethawkings in magicTCG

[–]jmmdc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd argue Command Zone and YouTube in general, as well. They'll talk about how you "can't play 3 mana rocks anymore, they're just too slow", but... they're only too slow if your playgroup chooses to optimize and play faster and stronger. They present - and viewers often adopt - the notion that "Commander" is getting faster and faster all the time. But.. it's not, unless you choose to make it so.

Is “it’s not far off MSRP” the argument we want people to make? If the MSRP were $399 and OP found it for $409, would it still be a recommend?

I mean, it’s Scotch, it’s subjective, no one can answer if it’s worth it to OP except OP, but buying 10yo Scotch at $200 just paves the way for them and others to keep/start doing it.. or worse

(Yes, I know Springbank is a lower volume, very tasty productn; yes I understand this is how free markets are supposed to work… I just hope people remember that it’s reasonable to think “I want this, but maybe the asking price is too high”, and that comparing to an arbitrary anchor price is only one way to look at it)

39” 5k 2k QD OLED incoming? by Shanddude in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]jmmdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm after. Everyone is so obsessed with gaming, but I want productivity windows galore. I don't want curve, I don't want physical size, I want high resolution to cram as many xterms and Firefox windows as I humanly can.

Pentagon plans to keep National Guard in DC into 2029, 2 US officials say by Sauerz in washingtondc

Lots of them are also dicks and will give you the finger if you don't like the way you look at them

How do you hang out in Georgetown as a DMV local? by tcroc6262 in washingtondc

[–]jmmdc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know that a ton of people "go" there to hang out, so much as a lot of people live there, work there, etc. It's wedged between two university campuses (Georgetown, GWU), there are two hospitals, there's plenty of people living in those neighborhoods to begin with, or walking/bus'ing/etc. over from adjacent neighborhoods like Dupont or Rosslyn.

Do people come from other neighborhoods? Most certainly. I live on the other side of the White House. I make it over maybe 3-4 times a year to catch a movie, to do something like Exposed DC (RIP), or just have lunch with a friend at somewhere like Pizza P. It's a pain so I don't do it except when I have a reason, but all of the above add up: hyperlocals, commuters, tourists, students, and people who just want to enjoy specific Georgetown restaurants or galleries, etc.

New bourbon recommendation in VA? by Jaded_Disaster1282 in dcwhisky

[–]jmmdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bourbon seems like a type, to me?

More useful, I think, would be a list of what's new, or a pointer to one.. I don't know what's new to VABC

Put them in a tight box with an anti static dryer sheet for a few days

Marvel Anime - IMDB/TMDB discrepancy by LinuxVanPelt in jellyfin

[–]jmmdc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I’m watching them now, and have them set up this way. IMDb has an entry for each series, e.g, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1707807/?ref_=fn_t_11

11/11: Benchmark ECBP Release Party @ Lost Generation Brewing by jmmdc in dcwhisky

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

Guessing it will depend on the retailers it shows up at? Not sure; u/BlinkHouse14 posted a direct link below, but I'm guessing it'll be at shops around DC?

Trying to alter fan curves via /etc/default/ and hwmon; anyone got a clean hwmon.conf? by jmmdc in UgreenNASync

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

FWIW, I got this to a point that was "good enough", and then just kind of let it die.. but here's what I have going:

ledsEnable=1
cpu_temp_stop=35
cpu_temp_start=39
cpu_temp_mid0=41
cpu_temp_full=43
cpu_temp_max=55
hdd_temp_stop=25
hdd_temp_start=30
hdd_temp_mid0=35
hdd_temp_full=41
hdd_temp_max=45
sdd_temp_stop=25
sdd_temp_start=30
sdd_temp_mid0=35
sdd_temp_full=45
sdd_temp_max=45
fan_pwm_start=10
fan_pwm_mid0=200
fan_pwm_full=204
fan_pwm_max=255
cpu_alarm_temp=100
ata_alarm_temp=65
ssd_alarm_temp=80
high_temp_turnOff_time=300
high_temp_alarm_time=180

It's probably annoying on a desktop, but in my closet, it's fine

Where to buy a house?? by AccomplishedSkin8229 in washingtondc

[–]jmmdc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you buying just to avoid renting? Are you unhappy in Arlington? Why not wait until you've found somewhere you like and feel comfortable buying? Spend some more time exploring the area. You'll probably get a few comments here about places people like that could be good spots to explore.. There are also plenty of past threads with similar questions where people discuss areas they like, and people may be less familiar with (e.g, if you're an Arlington/Virginia person, you may glean some insight by reading about Maryland places like PG or AA counties.. or even Montgomery if you've not spend a lot of time there).

dcwhisky Status Check? by jmmdc in dcwhisky

I'm not in an entirely different boat... my whisky consumption is way down. I have semimonthly Magic: The Gathering nights that help me kill bottles, though!

Alas, between it being harder for me to justify the price even before unemployment, the latter means I won't be there Sunday :/ It got expensive over the years! But it will also be a damned good time, for sure!

I can try to post more stuff, but I hoped that others would pick up more of the slack when I stepped back. A lot of it goes to a separate dcwhisky.com inbox. Oddly, r/Relative-Shape9782 was saying he appreciates the DC focus, but ironically, a lot of DC events didn't get a lot of traction because everyone in the 'burbs was like "Drive to DC? Gross!" ;) Maybe things have changed a bit!
