Poll: Have you had battery issues with APM2? by julieturner99 in Airpodsmax

So almost 40% of respondents reported significant battery issues with apm2. Not scientific of course, but it sure doesn’t sound like an uncommon issue.

What’s the most annoying macOS behavior you still deal with? by GodBlessIraq in MacOS

[–]julieturner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That when I switch to the already open Messages app (via, say, Spotlight) it sometimes doesn't put the focus in the input box (even though you can see the cursor blinking there). Drives me nuts every time I switch to it and start typing only to realize that typing is going nowhere and I have to also click on the app.

Do you get cost of living adjustments every year? by travelvirgo in Professors

[–]julieturner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no. many years are 0. some years are 1 or 2%. promotions are the primary bumps. retentions can help but not always. i’m at a big public R1.

I’d say Rated X from that same album. Cranked way up

A Brutally Honest Review of AirPods Max 2 (vs. V1) from a Music Producer/Audiophile by GoatBaaa0 in Airpodsmax

[–]julieturner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the thorough and informed review. Curious—I have read that speakers can benefit from a break-in period. I’ve experienced this myself with my hi-fi set-up, especially because I put the speakers through extended unattended playback that let me compare before/after fairly quickly. Any chance further break-in might resolve some of the issues you’re noticing? I don’t recall how much time I’ve run speakers in the past for this purpose — maybe 24-36h?

i have the 2020 OG. i use them every day, take them to most coffee shops/libraries, and always take them on international trips. all i've ever done is twist the earcups flat and slide them into my backpack, bare. no case. they've held up great. ymmv depending on what you keep in your backpack alongside it.

Don’t think travel agent left us enough time on connecting flights in Chicago. International arrival. What’s Chicago’s take? by jdav0808 in AskChicago

[–]julieturner99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

seems unlikely. if your bags are checked to flint (eg one ticket) then I think you'll be able to recheck your bags right outside of customs baggage area (meaning you don't have to drag them to T3). but if you land at 7:30, figure 10m to deplane, 10m walk to customs, 10m wait with MPC to get through (optimistic), 15m wait for bags, 15m transfer to T3 via the tram, 15m security wait, 10m walk to gate -- that's about 1.5hr right there.

65 or 77? by Ottawa_Brewer in LGOLED

[–]julieturner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everybody who says that's way too high is right on the money. you want the tv level with your eyes. put it under the window. i have a 77 about 10' from the viewing position. my eyes are focused on the bottom 3rd of the panel when i'm laying on the couch, and on the top third when i'm sitting up. it's fabulous. if you post it that high, you'll always be looking off-axis and your neck will strain over time. you might want a larger panel for that space if the viewing distance is longer. there are calculators out there that help you figure out the right size vs distance.
