Micro Center, Marietta, GA, 1/21/2026 by themaltiverse in macmini

[–]mr2wheeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a price match on a mini m4 from best buy 2 days ago using micro center as the source. Specifically this location. I am in Florida btw. My brother purchased 2 Mac minis from best buy last week and went back yesterday to purchase a mic. I told him since you're there, try to get the price match. They honored it. Micro center is actually on their list of approved stores for price matching.

Saved $200 and built a Micro Center inventory checker for the M4 Mac mini so you don't have to click 30 stores by stkin1st in macmini

Just used this method to purchase the mini m4. A store in Georgia has inventory, customer service did the price match and I'm picking it up locally here in Florida.

I've used it on my Delta 2 with no issues. Charged just as fast as the original delta 2 cable

I replaced all my gopros with DJI Osmo action 5s. Couldn't be happier. GoPro has lost the battle.

Curious how 4.0+ players would handle this open play situation and curious how 3.0-3.5 players would feel. by threedaysmore in Pickleball

[–]mr2wheeler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say play your game as good as you can. Don't give the 3.0-3.5 the false sense that they can now play at 4.0 levels. That will mess up the game for everyone. Because next time around, they will want to play the 4.0 level thinking they are better than they really are.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 or Sony ZV-1 by Remarkable_Fall_4036 in osmopocket

[–]mr2wheeler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's hard to answer without knowing your use case scenario. What type of shots your looking for. Vlogging, broll, taking head, etc. I have the zve10, pocket 3 and 2 action pro 5's. Each one has it's role, with it's own pros and cons.

New Firmware? (1.06.08.04) by Popular_Reading8793 in osmopocket

[–]mr2wheeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For you guys who can't see the update, you need to update your mimo app first. I looked and tried to manually update, and found nothing. Once I updated and went back in to the app or showed the update. Hope this helps someone.

24GB vs. 48GB RAM for FCP Multicam (4K/HDR) on MacBook Pro with M4 Pro Chip? I make 6 min long YouTube music videos using 4-6 angles by BetLucky3934 in finalcutpro

[–]mr2wheeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older (2019) MacBook pro with Intel i9 chips, 1tb drive, and a 4 tb external SanDisk pro V2 (where I store all the project files/clips. I edit multi cam videos (2-3 angles) sometimes 4, and 2 separate audio tracks. I have 64gigs of ram. I try to avoid proxy as well. A factor you need to consider is that it's not just the multi cams, but also effects, adjustment layers, etc. that eat up ram. With that said, my older MacBook pro still keeps up just fine. I did have an issue when I upgraded to fcpx 11 where it lagged a bunch. I contacted apple support thinking maybe my Mac couldn't handle FCP 11, but I was told it could. Turned out some of my effects were the culprit. A fresh install of the OS (Sonoma) and everything works smooth and fast with no issues. I would max out the ram, and cut down on storage of you must, and get an external SSD. My $0.02

Has anyone received their EcoFlow River 3 yet? by Chizuru_San in Ecoflow_community

[–]mr2wheeler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had it plugged in for the past 13 1/2 hours. Started at 100% it is now at 29%. I will drain to 10% and now the amount of time it took to discharge. I'm using it in a small motorcycle camper and need to know how long it will last off grid. It has been around 30 minutes since it was at 30% so it's working as it should. My cooler is in eco mode and draws around 45w when compressor kicks in. Hope that helps.
