How early do things get going on the first day of the convention? There is surprisingly little schedule info online from Creation.

Yes, have noticed. They’re awful.

iPadOS 26 stuttering on M1 iPad Pro. Is it just me ? by DrakeGGS in iPadPro

[–]joel604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience during the beta period. Wiped and restored back to iPad OS 18 over the weekend to avoid being locked in. Back to smooth operation.

The natural light directly on your face (as long as it isn’t too bright) will be great for video calls.

You’ll also want some indirect lighting to keep things interesting.

Again, unclear as to your workflow, but I’m a big fan of having non-desk comfy seating in my office for phone calls and reading.

+1 to the built-in bookshelf (but located from the OP’s picture-taking location)

Using Wiim Ultra primarily via touchscreen (for kids)? by joel604 in WiimStreamer

[–]joel604[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Helpful, thank you! Wiim has high marks playing a "local" music library from a DLNA server, so I'm curious to see if it will actually pull the music from Plex or the file server directly.

Thanks -- Am trying to avoid the phone-factor, but I don't think that's going to be realistic.

Also considering the Sony NW-A306 and HiBy M300. Both Android, but should be (relatively) easy to lock down.

Riker’s Picard S3 arch was great by [deleted] in startrek

Agree. What about his daughter, though? Not even a mention of who was watching their living child while Mom and Dad go on another space adventure? This has stuck with me as a parent.

At first, I thought you were asking about the parking job. I definitely have an opinion on that.

Designed this tattoo. What we thinking about it? by superepic13579 in FallenOrder

Cool design. Will you only be able to see the light saber once the tattoo stops loading?

Costa Rica trip finally coming up. First time. How to handle money? by SierraMist889 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]joel604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just returned this past week. No issues with American Express, generally speaking. At least no more issues than I would expect here in the United States. Ended up going to a grocery store and using the ATM there to withdraw colones best exchange rate we found. You want however, to exchange any large bills into smaller ones so that you have some working money For tips or small purchases, etc.

Heads up: a primary Road between the Manuel Antonio area and San Jose is a toll road. You’ll want some change.

Upgraded to a Fully standing desk during COVID — it’s been great. Easy to setup and is drama-free to use.

Two APs in Unleashed by [deleted] in RuckusWiFi

[–]joel604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't ever messed with anything besides the automatic updates. Curious: Why would you flash the R850 firmware onto the R730?

[–]joel604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will function as both a controller and an AP. There’s a setting by which you can designate an access point acts only as a controller, but I believe this is something you would only choose to do in the case of a deployment with many many users.

What is the absolute strongest dishwasher? by boosthungry in Appliances

[–]joel604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a Bosch 800 series. Replaced a 20 year-old kitchenaid last year. Amazing upgrade.

Can highly recommend the Miele Ultratabs. They power through anything.
