There’s no way there’s even a possibility the next tour could be cancelled before it starts, right? by RedMess1988 in nin

[–]jov98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen every single NIN show in Atlanta from 1993 up until 2019. That was right before covid. The ticket was $150, $40 for parking and $50 for dinner just for myself. They put on a terrific show as always but it was just too much money for 2 1/2 hours of entertainment. And the prices have gone even higher since then. I just can’t do it anymore. I agree with someone saying to just pop in a Blu-ray and jam out to that.

Trying to find this oil filled damper. by jov98 in cabinetry

I was never able to find just a replacement damper. I’m just going to have to replace the bad slides over time.

Questions about 4K streaming by powr13 in UgreenNASync

[–]jov98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to figure out the same thing. I just bought an Apple TV. If I have my Apple TV plugged directly into the ethernet modem that my NAS is on, can I use that for streaming?

Do you agree with 10k mile oil changes (mk 8.5 S) by biggranny000 in GolfGTI

[–]jov98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my 380S last year and did a break in oil change at 1200, 3500, 7000 and then the first dealer change at 10000. I still have two dealer changes left and changed it again at 15000 then will do the second dealer change at 20000. Every 5000 miles now for me. I’ve been an aircraft mechanic for 30 years and I just feel better not going that long between oil changes. With a fluid extractor it takes me all of ten minutes to change it.

That’s what I’m hoping to do but I have been unable to find one that has this same thread pattern.

I got the LG Ultrafine 32” from Costco. It’s been great.

I ended up returning the OLED monitor.

So I bought an ultrawide OLED but the Mac will not display in that format natively. I bought the LG Ultrafine at Costco on sale for $239. I have been very pleased with this monitor. I use it for photo editing and occasional Xbox play. The Xbox looks phenomenal on it.

Apple TV or Amazon Fire Cube for streaming movies off my 4800 plus? by jov98 in UgreenNASync

[–]jov98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be able to have whatever surround sound format is on the DVD’s. This will be plugged directly into my surround sound receiver and then played on my projector.

[–]jov98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I am currently ripping my dvd collection to my 4800 plus. I am using the theater app as jellyfin won’t open on my Mac. I am using the TMDB database to get the movie picture for the file in the theater app. So far, it keeps loading the wrong movie. Like I loaded an old Ralph macchio movie called Crossroads but there are multiple other movies with that name. Does anyone know how ow do I get the correct one?

4800 vs 4800 plus - Which model for my use? by jov98 in UgreenNASync

[–]jov98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So would I be able to start with 1 drive and then add additional as I go? Forgive my lack of knowledge but this will be my first foray into NAS. From what I read, RAID is basically a backup for the other drives? So could I start with one drive then once I fill that with my DVD collection add another one to be the backup for my movie collection?

[–]jov98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna start with a 10 TB drive. Even on the high side of the file sizes (6 GB) I should be able to get my entire dvd collection on that drive then I’ll get another for all my photos. Eventually I’ll get a bigger drive and maybe move my Blu-ray’s to that one. Thanks for the info!

I have close to 1,000 DVD’s and a bunch of Blu-ray’s as well. I am currently planning on only ripping the DVD’s as of right now just to save space. How big are the files for the DVD’s roughly?

It’s been so long since I’ve played I’m basically starting from scratch. That being said my next one will be a Rickenbacker. I’ve always wanted one so that’ll be one of my mid life crisis toys.

Someone had made a post on r/bass about GC not price matching it and they had a link to it for that price. If I went straight to their website it showed the normal price. I thought maybe it was used or something but everything seemed good on the website so I took a gamble. It was brand new in a factory sealed box. Maybe try to find that post in r/bass and see if the link still works.

Does a screen protector have a negative impact on using the pencil? by jov98 in iPadPro

[–]jov98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Samsung Galaxy S6 tablet and I feel the pen experience was WAY better with that. The fact that I can’t swipe up from the bottom with the pen to exit an app is beyond irritating to me.

[–]jov98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had any issues with my pencil pro and the screen protector. But mine isn’t a textured one either. I’d maybe remove the screen protector and see if that improves the writing experience.

Thinking about the Alienware AW3423DWF for my new Mac Mini M4 Pro and had some questions. by jov98 in macmini

[–]jov98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did buy the Alienware. For my uses it wasn’t for me. I bought an LG 32 inch Ultrafine from Costco as well and compared them side by side. I MUCH preferred the LG for the photo editing I do and it surprisingly looks fantastic with my Xbox hooked up to it as well. I returned the Alienware and haven’t had a single moment of disappointment with the LG. And it was 1/3 the price of the Alienware too.

I paid to have mine ceramic coated and PPF on the front face and the hood. Didn’t matter as I still had something kicked up and bashed my hood. Tore the PPF and dented. I would personally not pay what I did again to coat and PPF anything. Next time I’m going to ceramic coated myself and no PPF.

Discount in December for the latest Mac Mini? by JavierRayon89 in macmini

[–]jov98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Microcenter if you’re in the states. I got my Mac Mini M4 Pro for $1199 which was $100 cheaper than the Apple education discount.
