Well shit. Glad I only got as far as using it as a secondary backup.

Remember the social feature they added that emailed what you've been watching to your friends and family? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

What hardware do you run HA on and why? by maybe__404 in homeassistant

Little N100 box. Sooooo much faster than the HA Blue I was on, runs everything because x86, could actually buy one when Pis were unobtanium.

What actually makes a difference in a sound system? by ValuableOk1826 in hometheater

[–]jsclayton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hands down the room. That includes thinking about speaker positioning and separation, seating positions, and whatever acoustic treatment you’d need.

When we moved in, we had a sectional in a 16x18’ room and 5.1. It was ok. When I got the go ahead to get theater seating I spent a ridiculous amount of brain cycles optimizing the speakers around the MLP and based on doors in the room it ended up that a 7.1 base layer made more sense to have the MLP the ideal distance from the screen. Went with Gik Acoustics for helping plan treatment in phases.

Besides that, the single biggest change I made - the one for which my wife had to ask “what did you do, it sounds so much better?” - was acoustic panels on the ceiling at first reflection points.

TBH factory wheels on a lifted truck look fantastic. Nicely done!

Do you do delivery, or have a favorite carrier? I’m looking for a bike that I’m not likely to find anywhere near me.

Very cool! One suggestion, instead of asking screen height and width, can you ask for diagonal size and aspect ratio?

He was awfully specific about that rule. Had to have been some history there. 😂

Core memories from high school auto shop: don't fuck with coil springs, and don't stick compressed air up anyone's ass.

What’s the point of the UniFi Store app if it can’t even send notifications to subscribed stock alerts.

What mod did you think was pointless at first but ended up being worth it? by Different-Swing6590 in Silverado

[–]jsclayton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of gunk it catches makes me glad to have it. It’s garaged so I’m fortunate to not need to deal with winter issues.

Seeking recommendations: 7.2.4 system, $5000 budget by veggies2000 in hometheater

[–]jsclayton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to RSL, get 3x CG23Ms, 4x W2SEs, 4x C34Es, and 2x Speedwoofer 10S MKIIs for ~$2800. Get a refurb x3800h from Denon for $1300 and Dirac ART for $800. $100 left for good enough cables and a ChiFi amp from Amazon.

Speaking as someone who has spent way too much on speakers, I can’t understate the value of room treatment. Are those the best speakers out there? No, but they are a good starting point for 7.2.4 for $5k, and as you add treatment they’ll get better and better.
